/epg/ - Eclipse Phase General

Yeah, that's not official EP art. is.

>why

its for optimal performance, if you want a big titty aqua humanoid with small rack you can have it but its not gonna operate as good as other more adapted one

but yeah, its Eclipse Phase
style over function

but just don't cry if you perfect siren waifu pod gets fucked by some fish looking motherfucker with nigger ass

>he uses disgusting biomorph

Why haven't you discarded your hideous fleshy babby body for a superior synthmorph?

Sirens are birds - why the fuck would they be anywhere near a submerged hab?

For optimal performance the land morphs shouldn't have tits either

He means the Greek mythology siren.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siren_(mythology)

...

Yeah, so was I.

Take a look at the urn from around ~480 BC.

shit, you got me.
good one. chuckled.

have some boobies for your trouble.

why you think i implied they should?

no they shouldn't
human base line? yes.
advanced transhuman morphs?
no, why

t. totally not an ultimate

Huh, didn't know early Greeks imagined sirens like that.

Regardless, sirens today are imagined in a much more sexy way.

The laser turrets have to go somewhere and the chest has the most space while still giving a good frontal arc.

but why two

yeah and this will also give more defence for main batter/power source in the chest
fuck breathing, breathing is for fags and pansies

want to be philosophical? Go to some asteroid field pansy, "why" question is out of the fashion season and the answer is always because we can!

Because I'm still saving up for the transfer. Until then, I must make do with my government-issued theropod robot concubine.

I sexually identify as a nuclear submarine and the devs should respect that.

I would totally fuck a robowhore. We need to cash in on this. It technically wouldn't even be illegal to fuck them/whore them out, since they're not people.

What's the story behind this?

No idea, I think it's concept art for something. I feel like I've seen the style with Blade Runner's concepts, but it was just posted in a thread like this one and I saved it, remembering "dollhouse" mentioned a couple times in the books.

My guess is dollhouse is a pod brothel or something similar.

Where did the Eastern Europeans go in EP?

Wanna make a rugged as fuck generically Slavic prole in a worker pod.

Scientists say that sex robots are very close to be a thing and will probably be common as fuck in 40 years.

How will they account for exsurgent STDs?

I don't really think there's really a habitat described in the books as having a lot of those. That being said you can always just make up your own.

Little bit on Luna, The Organization there is said to have originally been pooled from Russian, Eastern European and Middle Eastern groups in the orbital area who decided to work together. Russian is associated with a couple habs in the Near-Earth sphere.

Some in the Belt and Venus too, Kron Kartelyeĭ on Titan is said to be a mix of Russian and Ukrainian operators who are actually mostly out of places like Extropia - though they have some operators on the ground in Titan. Russian corps seem associated with a lot of mining and heavy industry, so you see the language pop up in mining platforms and industrial towns - see some Poles on Gerlach for instance. There's a slavic hypercorp called Volkov on one of the moons of Saturn who do gas mining, mix of some eastern european languages there - and in some other distant fringe habs.

Scientist said that earth is flat and sun revolves around earth just not so long ago.

I want my robowaifu as any next man but i don't think we gonna have something even remotely human-like in next 40 years, maybe 80-100. Maybe!

no, more robotic corporate whores

no, scientists never said that.
scientist as a noun only came into being after the renisance, and if you actually do some real research there are more flat earthers out there today than there have ever been at any point in the past.
Also google sex bot. or sex machine, and you will find many machines intended for sex that are only a hairs breath of being a robot.

Put a fursuit on this and you're pretty much good to go.

>i don't think we gonna have something even remotely human-like in next 40 years
in terms of cognition or fuckability?

fuckability of course user for fuck sake, i mean we had million of years for that with real woman and cognition there still sucks i don't think it can be fixed

but seriously, was thinking about fuckability, cogniton is pretty much speeding up with robotics but i don't really think we can imitate feeling of real human that easily and dodge uncanny valley.

You don't have to dodge the uncanny valley, just stop before you get there.

And what do you think the limiting factor on fuckability is? Robotics is getting pretty good. Fleshlights work pretty well. Quiet electric motors aren't hard to find. Control algorithms are definitely good enough if you don't like to talk much.

>the future of dating is people spamming contact requests all over your HUD

I'm cool with this.

>we had million of years for that with real woman and cognition there still sucks i don't think it can be fixed

>>/r9k/

And i want my bitch blush when i fuck her tiny hole, i want her face to show she is a little bit overwhelmed, scared and in pain but its alright we are doing it together, she trusts me and she loves every fucking bit of it, i want her legs shake when she finally comes.

I want my waifus imitation of pure and perky young adult sex with experience of someone older every time. This is ideal form of sexuality in mind of most of males and only this will bring all the beneficial biological responses in you. Its fucking proven, look at porn. Until robots could do that, they will be no better than a fleshlight and blowdoll.

joke
your head

go be faggot somewhere else

>i was only pretending to be retarded :^)

sure thing buddy im not the one that doesn't understand a simple joke here. Don't be so butthurt and take your meds.

>what is a brain box

Post your character.

I'll never have a team since no one I know plays this game but at least I can pretend.

Catalina Gustavsson is a Swedish-Chinese-Canadian Scum catgirl Async scum simulspace designer and nano-ecologist who travels with a party of hot girls who are also her Firewall server, in a recovered Chinese PLAN space corvette. She spends pretty much subjective years at a time between missions in decadent simulspaces de-stressing from missions and enjoys convincing people to adopt her sexy bodysculpts.

Her main job in the party is defending from nanotech risks and detecting Exsurgents, and being a bit of a face. She also makes a fair amount of rep and cash selling XP and simulspace porn.

I don't have a character.

Plasma rifles are cancer

No, you get cancer when someone shoots you with one.

People who don't understand the most basic concepts of weapon systems are also cancer

Why? Been a while since I've read through the EP weapons but I remember them being pretty powerful.

People who make claims others are cancer, tend to be the most cancerous. He who stares into the abyss should be aware the abyss stares back - and who who fights cancer should be careful, lest he becomes cancer.

And also has no sense of humor

People who turn people's own claims against them are stage 4 pancreatic cancer.

People who call others cancer are stage 5 prostate cancer.

Stage 7+i teratoma

Seriously though, plasma rifles are really dumb

What's wrong with them?

Found the compulsive Atomic Rockets reader.

user, it's time for an intervention.

The basic principle won't work as advertised

Hey now. I'm an atomic rockets contribitor. Get your facts straight.

In the same setting where cyborg crabs and robot centaurs are viable options to download your brain into?

No, they're not.

Brain uploading is actually way more believable, as long as you leave computer hardware details fuzzy.

Plasma isn't very energy dense (it's very energetic, but not dense at all), and expands and cools extremely rapidly, and is hard to contain and generate, using a lot of energy to do s.

So use the same amount of energy in the same time in a laser or projectile weapon, and you can easily get many times the amount of energy on target, in more penetrating and dangerous ways.

If you can make an actually dangerous plasma weapon, another weapon will be 5-10x as dangerous.

So make the weapon shoot some other projectile or energy that creates plasma at the point of impact.

Alright Veeky Forumsanon, science me this:

How would a realistic laser gun work?

...

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MARAUDER

That's literally a powerful laser gun. It'd work, but it's not really what the popular image of a plasma gun is, as it doesn't actually shoot plasma.

My guess is that you'd use some kind of arclamp to stimulate the gain medium. Some of the other options like chemical lasers require carrying magazines full of really reactive halogens, which seem like a bad idea to have in your pockets on the battlefield.

CO2 lasers are pretty efficient, and efficiency is gonna be really important so that the weapon is lighter and less likely to burn your hands. It's also very readily absorbed by water, so it'll mess up meaty targets well.

It's also easy to pulse a CO2 laser, which is important because many pulses works better to deliver peak energy and prevent flesh from acting like reactive armor: A continuous laser wastes a lot of energy hitting the vapor/plasma shot out of the wound. Waiting 1-5 microseconds between pulses mostly fixes this.

About one KW per shot (50-1000 pulses) should be able to drill a hole ~5 cm deep (sketchy as hell math here) which should down someone, but not through armor. Increasing that by 10 means it'll kill people.

Ideally efficiency is maybe 25%, but the ideal case doesn't need to be a handheld and rugged device, so lets you half that. That means that each shot needs about 8 KW of power going in. That's the hard part, making a battery/capacitors which can supply that kind of power very quickly without being large or dangerous to use.

The other big issue with laser weapons is reflection, scattered laser light can easily blind people able to see the impact at unpredictable angles. It'd probably be possible to make eye protection which could protect against laser-flash (closed helmets covered in flat cams or *very* quickly changing opaque membranes maybe?), but you'd really want that.

Lasers are also fairly short ranged without chirping them, which might be hard to miniaturize. I'm sleep and probably fuck this up somewhere.

>Some of the other options like chemical lasers require carrying magazines full of really reactive halogens, which seem like a bad idea to have in your pockets on the battlefield.
That's a problem you're always going to have. Your other options are highly flammable batteries or boxes full of gunpowder.

I had assumed that the amounts of chemicals would be really high because all of the chemical lasers I know are huge. Looks like they don't have to be from a chemistry standpoint, so a whole mag might just be a mole of flourine.

Scary, but so is whatever hell-battery the thing uses.

That makes the dangerous part of a chemical laser the exhaust, as the promising designs seem to release DF, F radicals, and a bunch of stuff. That's nasty, and probably really hard to neutralize, as your laser rifle is also a small rocket, so the exhaust comes out fast.

I don't think a gun which releases powerful acids is a good small arm, but I'm also not really sure how hard it would be to protect against or neutralize the exhaust. I might be overestimating how dangerous that really is.

Most high power designs would use transverse flow to maximise throughput, so adding a suppressor would have no impact on the beam quality.
