No, not in a new thread.

OK yeah, i'm abandoning this thread.

no, i want a scenario where combat takes place on Venus. I want to see how it would be carried out. Red and Blue want a magical element found only on Venus. The magical element does stuff unrelated to the war. Both seeds need the other exterminated to obtain it. How do they do so?

Blah blah blah magic, blah blah blah nukes never invented, blah blah blah resources on other planets mysteriously cease to exist. GIVE ME MY HYPOTHETICAL COMBAT FANTASY NAO

Hmm..... Uranium is prohibitively rare on Venus. most power is supplied via solar, wind or thermo solutions.

Nukes overheat and explode before leaving Venus's atmosphere.

They couldn't mine deep enough on the other planets, and setting up mines capable of mining deep enough would take so long that the mine would be bombed by the other side. P.S the sides declared war on eatchother shortly after they could no longer dig deep enough. Venus is only feasible simply because nobody looked at it yet. Also, the universe in which the story takes place is set in a universe where our estimations of the mineral deposit position on and in Venus are wrong, with resources being readily found near the top. only reason they weren't mined were the extreme environment. TL;DR I use my magic wand to force a Venusian conflict to occur. Now gimme them tactics and strategies for Venus >:(

Both sides expanded too (Extremely) fast and depleted them early. It wasn't until after they were gone until they looked towards Venus.

How would war be carried out on / around Venus? I know, you're probably wondering why they'd be fighting over Venus in the first place. Here are the conditions: The year is 2200. All the hypothetical scientific advancements and construction projects, economic expansion etc. predicted for 2200 are fully available. The backstory is as follows: Two factions (the Red and the Blue) were once at peace and had focused the last 200 years terraforming and colonizing Mars. Their plan was to use the newly-terraformed Mars as a gateway to the colonization of the remaining solar system... until they found Venerium, a very valuable resource. They then declared war and now fought over it. Red and Blue have exact same 2200 tech. Advances in 3D printing tech allows complex electronic, metal, plastic, glass, essentially all elements in the periodic table to be made in a matter of several minutes provided they have the resources to do so. For the most part, their machines are unmanned. Due to the 3D printer's limited size, in order to build larger structures, it prints out various modules and uses the help of a crane to assemble the full building. It can build more of itself in a deployable form to make it small enough to fit inside its fully deployed version. TL;DR self-replicating machines in the future fight for Venus over Venerium. Our scenario begins at the beginning of the war. Red is based on Earth, while Blue is on a terraformed Mars. Red prefers more powerful weapons and armor, but slower building and slower / sluggish movement. Red is more specialized and organized. Blue is the opposite, high building speed and high speed / maneuverability, but less powerful weapons and armor. Blue is more adaptable and creative.

The loading times are ghastly. It took billions of years just to load up the very first stars! Even longer for the solar system and life on Earth!

It's the game we've all heard about and played, and no doubt many of you guys are playing it as we speak - myself included! But why? Despite all it's amazing features, the Universe suffers from countless flaws that some have found extremely irritating. No mods! There is no modding community to speak of! Don't get me wrong, there are loads, LOADS of DLC for sale. But the really good ones are all far too expensive! You have to fork over billions just to leave your starting planet TEMPORARILY! And even then, you can disconnect unexpectedly There's that old glitch where you can't reconnect after you've disconnected. Apparently the game bans you for that. The devs cheat round this by calling it a feature "death". Random disconnects. The quests are EXTREMELY repetitive and boring. Where are the devs? We haven't ever seen them for real nor made contact with them! Submit your reviews, people! My opinion is that, despite these flaws, the universe is still a pretty good game.

3990 BC: The First Kerbal with a Name, "Ugh" is born. He lives a boring and uneventful life. The "Rawr" tribe is formed. Winter falls. A nameless Kerbal discovers how to make fire while it's snowing. He is killed by his own creation, and sadly, his tech is lost forever. A volcano erupts, exterminating a small Kerbal village. A large gathering of various unrelated Kerbals lays down and looks at the stars for the first time.

Want to play Kerbal History? Tired of Kerbal History breaking the rules and being shut down? Well have i got the product for you! A rework of KH designed to be as rule-compatible as possible! Yes, you can still have your little factions and nations, and you can still have your characters, but there are new rules in place made to prevent it from devolving too much into politics/roleplay. This is an Easter Egg. RULES: There may only be 6 nations alive at any given time. You may not make flags or maps of them, and please make interactions between nations short and detailed. Nations must survive for at least 3 posts. In regards to characters, you can have as many of them as you like. However, there may only be 4 interactions between one character and another character per page. Example: *char 1 says hi to char 2* four times. Only 2 chars can be made per page. Chars stay dead. Old nations stay dead. Nations are killed off after they have been attacked more than 3 times. Only 1 attack may take place per post, only 1 nation attacked per post. Nations must survive for at least 3 posts. NO SIDE CONVERSATIONS. Each post counts as 10 (EARTH TIME!) years elapsed, and must display the current year (considering the 10 years they added). There must be at least 3 events taking place per post, and there can be no more than 10 events per post. NO TIME SKIPPING. EVER! You may also not enter "nothing happens". Posts violating these rules will be ignored. The year is 4,000 BC. Kerbal technology is at the level of sticks and pointy rocks. String is made of shaven-off and winded-up stick (skin?/bark?). Kerbal society knows nothing of rocketry. Technological progression must occur at reasonable rate - comparable to our own, with consideration of current year, and 10 years increment. Technological progression will occur at increasing rate (more advanced tech = faster). Technology may be lost, kept secret, captured, refined, transformed, perfected, optimized, destroyed and, of course, re-learned if possible.

Yes! @sal_vager Help me! I'm drowning in an extremely large open pool of dihydrogen monoxide!

Nah. Sal_vager?

MISTAKEN! I'm not dead yet! Atlas2342?

"Contact hot."

You miss, and fly into your fridge and die. I obtain a ghillie suit, a sniper rifle, some ammunition for the sniper rifle, and climb a tree near the next poster's house with their front door in view in the middle of the night. Then, it's only a matter of time before they walk out the door.....

I use my Quantum Swap Device to swap position and velocity in space with the next poster, effectively putting them in my same predicament while i help myself to all the goodies in their fridge! Muahahahaha!

I deploy a forcefield! I am standing on a cliff, then i notice the next poster standing down below. I jump off and crush them with my forcefield.

District 3 Part 1/2 signing in!

I am a Space Marine. I chainsword the next poster in the name of the EMPEROR!

No, i am never hit by the total mass because my base is largely underground. And how will they fire at me? I have like 100 saboteurs in their base.

Well, infantry can dodge artillery, so surely there'd be some use in that?

So, alter its trajectory? Or vaporize it? What about turning it into a million little pieces so that only a teeny little fraction of it will hit its target?
