I am going to read Ahnks response.. just copied and pasted to read... but as I read Raven's comment, I am not really talking exact numbers.


I was thinking 15x our typical hyperspacial speeds.. but only used the 300,000 kps figure as an example.

Sorry for my questions. Most were redundant but when I am thinking of this and work at the same time, I'll tend to do that.

A paragraph may be fine when approving the R&D but there is more to it in fleet roleplay. I would like to make sure I am accurate as I can be in what I want to do. Alot of this stuff is not covered in your R&D.


What added to the idea that the Victory could enter is the fact that BDE did not close it nor did they mention the arbiter (which was used to open the opening thus creating the conduit/pocket) left with the armada that was positioning itself.

And if the arbiter did not go through as the entrance closed, then by what you say above, they trapped themselves in their own conduit. Given that my ISD was less than a minute behind them, it would also mean that my ship is trapped as well.


And, until the life of the conduit drains, ultimately they will be destroyed.

That's up to BDE.

You obviously got your ship in it, by the fact it hasnt been disputed. So the entrance wasnt closed, and as I read it, the armada vanished, not the wormhole...

Eitherway, the Arbiter would be part of the BDE Armada, and I dont see what would make you think otherwise, as it is a BDE ship, part of the formation from Vladet. Therefore it would be traveling with the fleet, when the fleets movement is mentioned.

I disputed it in theory, but left it up to you guys to press. Also, Grev's point about 2 posts to escape holds true for the Arbiter. Post to open the wormhole and post to enter it. Grev took his time but did Kaine chase the dragon over two posts? That's not my call.

Why would I think otherwise? Because you make it a point to bring it into the system separate from Grevious' armada. He makes it a point to single it out in opening the rift...

But no one makes it a point to state that it left. By rights, if Ahnk said the Arbiter was unnecessary to move the conduit, you could argue effectively (if you wanted) that the ship was still in Vladet space because of that omission.

Its mentioned seperatly becuase its the actual thing making the wormhole. Its hard to mention a fighter craft of the fleet when your only talking about the wormhole creation.

True, but it's not hard to mention that it left with the armada either. Especially since the arbiter was with the ships you brought and not with the ships he brought.


In any event, I was just making an observation. It has to be in the conduit for your thing to work anyway, so fine. It went with the armada.



Jumping to hyperspace from a scene of combat must be done over 2 posts,

It was my second post. However, if the dragons were not there, would I be making a jump? Obviously not with the gravity thingies working.

That rule should be changed with hyperspace equivalents being researched by several parties and approved for some.

I'd like to note that Drayson has stretched the 72 hour rule. I'm not calling him but I'd like to, if possible, see something thrown up sometime this week. I'd like to reply and move the RP forward, and Milkshake wants to take his ball and go home.

Totally slipped my mind. Sorry, man.

But now I have to go... leaving for camp in a couple hours. But they have computers there, I should have enough time to throw something up tomorrow or Tuesday...
