Has no place here, especially when you consider we have shields and lasers, spaceships and immortal clones. not only this, but we have a theocratic Empire that actually managed to make it to space, I still don't see how it's realistic in the slightest.

Get out with your realism.

Pakistan (theocratic) have nukes. Isreal have nukes (chosen people). North Korea have nukes (leader is a living god). Having unusual spiritual "inclinations" doesn't preclude you from technology. Not to mention if you study history you'll come to the realisation that organised religion (especially its upper echelons) is mostly about controlling people and power, "God" is an excuse.

Anyway, in the context of New Eden, interstellar technology was re-invented or re-discovered by the 4 races (not invented from scratch).

All theology has many forms, if jump gates and warp drives are gifts from god then so be it, out of the four empires they're the only ones that kept more than enough records to at least know that earth was possibly the homeworld to humanity. All the other races completely forgot everything.

Agreeing with IWS. A religion founded after space travel had been achieved would by default probably include space travel. It's not like they would colonize new worlds and then lock themselves back into the bronze age religions that we have currently.

We already have lasers and spaceships btw, in case you've never read a science article from the last few decades, albeit obviously not at the level portrayed in this game. The clone thing is far-fetched, but pretty much everything in here is more realistic than a microwave would have seemed 100 years ago.

Looks at rail gun.... thinks of realism... never goes near a rail gun tank again...

Then remembers the power needed to make a laser that can damage plate steel at 10m... and screams like a little girl when a laser rifle overheats... (assuming the laser rifle doesnt just ignite the atmosphere)

Read this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Requiem_for_Homo_Sapiens its a really good set of books about religion in space .



Ps. No one can one shot your tank what u on about ?

Are you trying to imply that modern day theology cannot believe in space travel?

Personally I am a Catholic and I have no problem accepting the possibilities of space travel and science in general.

Internal consistency is the most important quality for a setting. All F&SF requires us to accept something that is not currently true, but once we do that everything else should flow easily without gut twisting explanations. I'll suspend disbelief, but I don't want to have to hang it until it's dead.

Blasters can have high power but short range due to the plasma containment failing at range.
Instant transmission of mental state to a waiting clone is a real stretch, but that's the one magical assumption we have to make for DUST.
Lasers getting stronger at range and then weaker again is a really hard one to justify as you have to start ignoring physics, but you can wave your hands about phasing and the like.

However once the writer(s) establish the constraints of the world though, they shouldn't break them.

New Eden requires a wormhole target (DU) to instantly transport a mercenary. Ok.
But then we appear randomly in ambush or around objectives. That breaks immersion because it violates the established rules of the world.

We animate in CRUs, but not really. Instead we appear invisible in the neighborhood of the CRU, and it doesn't matter how many clones are inside it. We could capture an enemy CRU but still run out of clones. That ignores all lore established in "Templar One".

Yeah guys, forget reality. Lasers and shields are total fantasy, even though they have existed as an applicable technology for the past decade and then some. Forget about advancement, that never happens. What came first the interwebz or the the handcart. Stupid realism stuff.

Active Drop Suit Defense systems can prevent effective range of weapons being too far out if the suit's sensors detect the round early enough and makes the rapid shield and armor adjustments to defeat the round.

Fluid Helium 4 Sub-entangled Quantum Routers

Lasers can be multi beamers with a focal point. 3 lasers are more powerful than 1 right? Amarr are known for having multi beamers into clusters as high as four clusters

It may need an anchor based on how much interference is being put out. A hostile MCC could be emitting serious amounts of jamming interference preventing popping in soldiers accurately. Which is why a random ambush map has it and every map with MCCs seems to require a well established anchor or is in the MCC itself.
