This is only half-related to all of that, but could we agree that by around 3 or 4 ABT, most of us know of the existence of almost everyone else, no matter if we have made a first contact or not? Since the sector is a lot more interconnected now, a nation that discovers one other could discover all of the others just through the one nation they found.
that could be put as early as 0 ABT thanks to Meridian
But yeah, by 4 ABT basically everyone would already know everyone else
After the Babylon Treaties we’d go from First Contact RPs to Awkward Hello RPs
i run fcs now for impressions (how do i view nation x)
it’s better to show it play out, rather than to tell people (my nation likes your canonically)
You failed, an ad opened before I was rickrolled
does your nation use point defense missiles to combat missile threats?
Sabaton, the band, would do absolute numbers in Rehy.
We have lil drones we send out.
how do you intercept a missile with a drone
Shmack it into it. Shoot at it.
Gonna be honest my weapons as wip. But yer pretty much that.
We also have regular anti air stuff.
Calerost does, and also phased array lasers
Same for Calerost (mostly cuz i love them)
Same.
Do planets terraformed from non-habitable to habitable still count towards the habitable planet limit?
Nope. The habitable planet limit is only referred to naturally habitable planets.
I would suggest a terraformed planet cap but that would probably be a slippery slope (then we would have to do stations, rings, etc.). What would probably be more sensible would be a population cap that wouldn’t allow people to balloon their population up to insane levels (>25 trillion?) by terraforming planets. It just seems that people who terraform large swaths of planets would have a massive advantage in everything over those who don’t (by virtue of having a larger population) and it would be nice to avoid a gigantic power gap between those who have fine-tuned their terraforming technology and use it on the regular and those who rarely, if ever, terraform planets.
I mean, you could always make it so your population isn’t primarily based on planets. Orbital habitats would still be just as practical.
Besides, we already agreed with Qwert that there shouldn’t be a population cap
If we do want one though, Maverick had suggested 5 quadrillion
