I think so. I'm not a huge fan of that, personally, but the imagery is otherwise wonderful. :P

Wait... have I seen ANY anti-matter weapons other than mine? No.

Addendum to previous post:

Lim f(x)=(infinity) more antimatter.
X->34

Well, you could load a Umerian particle gun with antimatter trivially, just reverse the polarity on the magnets, but what would be the point? Adding another 2mc2 of energy release on top of what you're already boosting the stuff to is kind of pointless.

I have them, but they're for covert demolition work rather than combat use.

Antimatter, eh? Hey Refuge, do you use antimatter?

I use antimatter warheads in my heavy anti-ship missiles, and as warship fuel.

Well, antimatter is pretty ubiquitous... I mean, I would imagine some states use antimatter to ignite fusion reactions I mean...

I just read it now. Had a lot to catch up on. They must have gotten lucky and encountered some weaker bio-forms who were busy doing other... things. :P Dedicated ESP Hunters never give up and are known to pursue their prey over extremely long distances. Even going as far as infiltrating other star nations.

I still have some catching up to do, but I hope to do some writing of my own soon.

Heh as fun as it would be to crash your little party, I'll pass. Attempting anything there would be too risky. But I'll probably have some infiltrators there, watching. Seeing what some of those ESPers are capable of will be interesting to us.

Well, if you want to have the Karlacks send an agent to Lochley Landing, we could concoct a story given some of my other plans. Though would the Karlacks be that aggressive outside Wild Space in an Anglian-controlled area?

Hahahaha.

Dielectrical difficulties. It's funny because "dielectric" is a real word...

I assume it doesn't mean ancient and Bragulan? :D

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dielectric

"A dielectric is an electrical insulator that may be polarized by an applied electric field. When a dielectric is placed in an electric field, electric charges do not flow through the material, as in a conductor, but only slightly shift from their average equilibrium positions causing dielectric polarization..."

No actually it makes sense that, among the many things they had to fix inside the Bragship, some of them were dielectrics...

That is the joke, that is why it is extra-funny. To me, anyway.

EDIT: I'm not planning anything at all for the Esper Tournament; that is other people's baby. I just put that note in Diplomatic Communications because I thought it would be funny...

It's not a weapon, but we do use anti-matter tiolet paper. For that extra clean feeling.

And the CSB works to ensure the smooth functioning of the Tournament.

Shep, are you sure you want to infiltrate a place that is very important to my nation? The Centrality is very much paranoid when it comes to security, especially in a Core sector which happens to hold the first name of the Centralist Founder.

Can someone give a brief rundown of the disciplines one can participate in at the Esper Tournament?
