Aqua-Soft Forumshey guys i am back. :woot: in fact i came back two days ago. :shy: but school started just the next day. so i was so bloody busy for the past couple of days too for the induction and enrollment of my master course. :rant: yeah, it's gonna be one hectic semester starting next month. but don't worry dudes, i'll still be participating as i am a memeber of the team. i won't be the one who's hearing without contributing. 
just give me a day. i'll come back with some serious sh*t on terraformation. 
aight. see u soon. (Y)
Dominion R&d Team : Project Suggestions
Sorry guys, but I'm going to be kinda busy right up till mid-October as I'm having major exams so I won't be able to visit AS often. After the exams, I'll be very free, though. Hope I'll be able to contribute more then! 
i've just gone thru all the posts u guys left and it seemed to me that rain wanted to leave, again. to be honest, however, i really am rather impressed by the stuff u guys found and actually for a while out of words. i think i need to do more reading in order to catch up. mag, give me some time. i'll be right back.
p.s. it seems everyone's gonna be quite busy these days. including myself. i have to move to a house closer to my campus this weekend, and it takes probably a week to apply for the new internet connection. gosh, i can't wait to see our project progress.
yeah, as i can see, everyone's taking some time off, well it's ok for me i'll simply keep you updated then...
hey u guys, i am in the univ library, just to drop a few words to let u know that i am still around. still waiting for my internet connection to come. i've looked into some in-depth articles about terraforming. and everything's started to make sense to me know. mag. is this research topic still running. let me know plz...
yeah still running, i wanted to elaborate on the hovering terraforming stations but seems like Rain is ignoring me so i guess i'll just forget about it. But anything related to terraforming is welcomed!
@ Magnolium. Pardon me for 'ignoring' you. As I'm taking part-time course in Nihon-go, and I have other commitments to see to, plus the fact that I have left the research team, there's nothing else I should say or contribute.
@Younguo. I have officially left the team, it's not only a 'want', it's a fact that I have announced my departure. That's why I'm not replying in this thread for quite some time until today, as on 25th September 2003 (Singapore time +08:00hrs GMT). The reasons are stated clearly in my departure post.
@all. Humans have gone through evolution for a long, long time. Majority of humans will never ceased to develope new technologies especially in Military. Humans will always lust for power and status. Humans will always be selfish to preserve his own life and needs.
I remember 5 years back, whether is it on a bus or train, when and elderly or a pregnant lady, who can't find a seat, someone is always willing to relinquish his or her seat to them. But these days, no one bothers anymore. It's sad, but true.
Humans need to experience a near to wipe-out of world-wide population, before they know the preciousness of life and peace, and will do anything to keep it, while developing defence tehnology to protect the whole Earth instead of just his homeground. In other words, humans have not reached that 'enlightenment' stage.
Humans will always war and continue developing technologies to kill, as long as humans have not reached that "enlightenment" stage. When there's nothing else to conquer, the only avenue is to the space.
They will need a whole lot of sophisticated weaponary and engines to power their 'craft', and warp engines or warp gates (portal) is the only way to conquer our whole solar system in a lifetime.
Humans, especially scientists or engineers, will always think in terms of logic and reasoning and efficiency for engineers.
Even if they do not have the technology to 'hover' an 'island over a planet, which I do seriously doubt this fact, because scientists have been able to 'float' materials, such as a small metal sphere and a metal disc; these guys would be using this while terra-forming Jupiter. With this 'theory' already in place, advancement in this technology iis a foregone conclusion.
Ambitious human beings will always try to play 'God'. That's why we have cloned human babies. So what else will be in store for us?
Maybe we can allter our own DNA to have certain abilities and physique. Or maybe, humans aren't reproduced the conventional way anymore, we grow humans in artificial embryos in labs, just by a simple form and lotsa cash.
What type of traits do you want for your offspring?
1. Physically tall and strong Yes or No.
2. Intelliegent Yes or No.
And the list goes on.
Human ambitions to play God and will always be that way, unless a near wipe-out of the entire human population, if not, humans will not realise how precious life is to be wasted away in a battlefield.
This is my very last post. Hope it can enlighten some of you out there.
Heaven and Hell has got not difference. It's just a step away.
@Rain, thank you for explaining me that you were not ignoring me in fact, i appreciate it
@all, In all the Dominion project, the humans never underwent to a near fatal extinction, they simply went through a war which brought them back in time politically, the present power installed a feudalism based society based on social classes, and monarchy. There is no actual king and knights but it is similar, there a comity lead by a supreme power and they live for money and power.
The hovering station as i clearly stated in my previous posts WAS interesting until Rain backed out, i wanted to incorporate it in the whole project but he backed out, what can i say??? I don't wanna make it out and he doesn't want to help anymore so it will NOT be in the project unless he helps on it. Which i PMed him requesting he could at least help me on that last thing...
On another note, warp stuff will NOT be in the project for a simple reason, we can't even explain what it is without inventing stuff. I don't want anything invented in the project. It is ALL based on facts and mathematics This project is an analyzis of time.
to all, Id like you to bring me new ideas, tell me what you'd like to see in the project, i'm taking note of each and every suggestions!!!
@magnolium: Since you have spelt it so plainly that I have the duty to finish what I have started; The hovering Terra-forming station.
Just tell me what you want to know and I will tell you. But please note, that this idea is somthing which I have seen in animes, which I find it the most efficient way to terra-form a planet., which consists only of hovering stations doing all the initial job. The land crew will only come in when the atmosphere is stable and O2 has fully spread across the planet, and that means final stages of terra-forming.
As I have stated above, I will tell you all you need to know and that will conclude our last deal.
I'm good with that Rain.
I'd simply like to know how it is built. They brought it from space?? They built it like they are buidling the ISS? What does it look like??? Can i get a sketch or a picture of that? I am probably gonna make it smaller then those giant ones you were referring too so can you tell me, in those big ones, whats the crew number? What are their functions?? And most of all, i need a picture or a sketch of it so i know what it looks like!!!!
That's all i want to know.
If you don't feel like completing these infos then don't i don't want to force you too. It is not really your duty. You simply brought an idea and i am interested. If you don't feel like completing it, it's ok as i will not complete it for you since it is your idea (yes i know it's based on animes). However, if you submit it all to me, i hope that you will understand that it will be adapted to the project. i.e.: stations smaller than the ones you are referring to.
Your help is much appreciated
Even though you wish to stop being part of this discussion, any ideas from you will always be welcomed.
hi all, school turns out to be busier than i could imagine, and that is one of the reason why i haven't been posting lately. it's not that i wanna drop out of the project, but i have seemed to underestimated the master study. already at the first two week we have a project to complete and there will be a photography challenge competition that i need to go for, plus loads of galleries and exhibitions. i wonder why i am still alife at all.
i am sorry, mag, i will come back later. hopufully with some contribution. and would you please tell me how far the project have gone so far. please keep me up to dated, thx a lot. aight, i'll talk to u later, and sorry again for being out of the world for so long.
p.s. i still haven't got the internet access from home.
Hey all. Project Update Time
We are considering engines and we just discovered the engine from the game Chrome. It is very interesting since the trees and the bushes and so one that are generated in great quantity don't slow down the fps. The crispy beautiful graphics are also very attracting. I had a second meeting with the producer and we set the project on slow speed for a private commercial reason. We have a new guy working for us, Rickdeath who's drawing mainly the characters. The housing issue for the game has been settled. The banking problems too, you will be required to enter a password for a certain bank box from the vault. The only way to rob a bank is to obtain those passwords and get them for the right boxes. The more you pay, the bigger box you get. You will be able to drop money in an account but it won't be possible to steal the money in it. One of the big problems is if you will be able to be part of the authority, to be the vilains.
Another problem is timewise...Basically if you acess your inventory, you can't pause the game so we have to make it easy and quick so you don't get killed cause you were looking at your new found gun!
I'd like you guys to post suggestions please...
