| Please explain the many technologies here that are foreign to Star Wars and that I am obviously unfamiliar with. These are apparent enough I don't think I need to specify which ones I mean (i.e. "reactive" armor, "photon sail," "x-ray lasers," etc.). To be helpful to Karth, who hasn't struggled through one of these before, R&L's description of the "RL spike" and "tachyonic collider" can be found here. I must stress, again, that I am prejudicial to technology that is not found in Star Wars, as it is A.) not necessary, and B.) invariably more complicated for RPers (and in this case, moderators) to refer to and understand. That will be the extent of my grumbling, however. (Although we do need to discuss, at some point, how R&L will function in this new timeline. The anonymity that the company enjoyed in its previous incarnation is something that obviously became very problematic for the RP, and raises OOC as well as IC concerns. But let's sort out the technology first).

| My apologies. I do forget we have a new manager. For starters, the photon sail is actually Star Wars technology, found here. Reactive armor is rather simple as well. It's made of layers of insulating gel or compressed gas between cerametal plates. However, high-velocity impacts and high-powered energy beams can burn through the armor before it can dissipate the impact or heat of an intense blow. The X-ray laser is simply a weaponized form of more powerful lasers than the 'standard' variant, therefore requiring a larger power source devoted to them, much like the infrared laser that fires light focused in the infrared spectrum.

| Hey, I'm not that new; but I'll let it slide, I'm used to people forgetting about me. I'm dead tired so I don't think it'd be in your best interest for me to weigh in after just getting off work, but I promise I'll have my concerns, and my vote, up tomorrow.

| I too am very prejudicial against non-canon technology so it’s going to be hard to convince me, especially at this stage in the RP. However, since the Tachyon Collider and RF spike have already been approved (subject to management review in relation to the timeline shift) I'll pass over them for now. I would like to know more about your shielding. Would it be susceptible to flak weaponry? I think I understand the x-ray laser but I m at a loss to see its advantages or disadvantages. As for the Photon sail it is indeed SW Canon. Vote: UNDER REVIEW

| Would not the X-ray laser actually be vastly inferior to most Star Wars technology, considering that it's functioning basically as lasers in the real world do (albeit amplified), whereas most lasers in Star Wars do not function this way and are, in fact, more powerful than anything we have in the real world? I'm also a bit curious about the shields. Since it says "particle/ray shielding" (i.e. two words for the same thing, basically—shields, found on all starships, that stop solid objects), do I read this correctly as meaning there are no deflector shields on this ship? And thanks for pointing out the solar sail. I hadn't heard the "photon" term for it before.

| I'd be the first to admit, I've never been very partial to requests dealing heavily with technology; so bear with me here as I'm going to give it my best shot. In regards to the Tachyon Collider and the RF Spike, I'm going to give a thumbs-up there since they've already been approved once before. Mt.'s already covered the shields; and I think I have a basic understanding of how the X-Ray lasers work. Actually, seeings as all my questions were already asked, I've nothing to add until they're taken care of.

| Jory: The shielding is identical to the standard shielding in the Star Wars universe, so, providing the shields are down, flak cannons would indeed harm it. Jace: The X-ray laser is basically an enhanced version of the normal Star Wars laser cannon fired in a different spectrum to increase effectiveness. It certainly couldn't kill a Z-95 in one hit, of course (from one cannon, that is). I rate it as 8-10% more powerful than 'standard' lasers. There are deflector shields on this craft.

| I went ahead and added "Deflector" to your post, I hope that's okay. I'm still not sure I like the idea of these X-ray lasers, but I leave that to Mt.'s discretion. I'll vote as he does.

| Ooohhh...the pressure is on. Okay, I am still not convinced about the X-Ray lasers; we have laser, turbo lasers, and heavy turbo lasers making my impression of 'x-ray lasers' somewhat fundamental. However, since they are of some import to you and since they are all forward firing I see really no problem with them, thus, Vote: APPROVE

| I'd add more, but I'm at work right now and don't really have the time for lengthy posts. I vote to APPROVE.
