(09-21-2018, 05:08 AM)Black Aeronaut, in the Galaxy Building thread Wrote: As for BSG and nBSG... I'm a bit shaky on that. Part of me wants to make it some we can go into the Colonies guns blazing to counter the Cylon Offensive, but that would be contingent on us knowing they were there, and knowing that shit was about to go down. We'll probably have to settle for coming in just after Ragnar Anchorage in nBSG, and the equivalent in BSG.
However, what we can do is throw them both together in the same space. This will confuse the hell out of the Cylons as suddenly there's two groups of them, and they're gonna be spending precious time challenging each other. Meanwhile, the non-networked Battlestars from BSG are going to be like "Any port in a storm!" and immediately go to aid their networked cousins from nBSG, buying THEM the time they need to clear out the virus and go to work.
This would wind up saving a lot more lives, and getting our characters the time they need to muster a fleet and go in to kick ass and take names.
"Hey guys! They're not shielded. MAKE THEM BLEED!!!"
Rob clenched his fists and squinted... and stayed that way for a half-minute.
"Are you okay?"
"Can't... talk... now... Okay, sorry." He relaxed and took a deep breath.
Ami looked at him with concern. "What was wrong?"
"Nothing was wrong; I just needed to concentrate. Remember my ability?"
"How could I forget?"
"And remember what cometary nucleii are made of?"
Ami's face went pale. "You didn't."
"I did."
"He did... what?" asked Hyoga.
The viewscreen showing the Cylon Basestar at the rear of the opposing force suddenly flared white... then showed a mass of wreckage where that mothership had been.
"Moved four nucelii, very fast, aimed at the Basestar from the points of a tetrahedron around the ship. Moving them with icebending instead of propulsion systems means the Cylons never saw them approach, and it looks like Belldandy guided my aim there. 'Doc' Smith called that a nutcracker, although he only used two space rocks at a time."
"You killed them. All of them." Hyoga looked at Rob reproachfully.
"And I never want to do that again... but they were doing their best to kill us."
"Any other Basestars in the area will be watching for that trick now; we probably can't do it again anyway," Mii replied.
"So let's get the hell out of here and let the others clean up the Raiders."
