Hannizio The Revian Fleet closes their gunports and missile pods, but keeps them locked on their selected targets if need be."

The_Devil_Incarnate

Hannizio "I assume your lack of response means your staying? Very well." A few minutes after the captain finishes his transmission, a flotilla of unmanned construction and cargo ships arrive. Several of the construction ships begin repairing the damaged frame, while the rest begin assembling separate components.

Hannizio

The_Devil_Incarnate "You still have a question for me to answer: Dont you have ship based FTL drives?"

The_Devil_Incarnate

Hannizio "Yes, but the only FTL route between the galaxy and our nation is quite unstable, still navigable but not safely." "The warp gate will create a stable, artificial one that we can travel freely."

Hannizio

The_Devil_Incarnate "It seemed very short. What was this fleet waiting for? Why wasn't it originally here?"

The_Devil_Incarnate

Hannizio "We had the bulk of our forces stationed at the gate on our side if extra firepower was required, though we didn't want to draw too much attention through warp signatures so we didn't bring all of our forces."

Hannizio

The_Devil_Incarnate "It seemed that your gate isn't very far from here, since the signal seemed to arrive nearly instantly."

The_Devil_Incarnate

Hannizio "In terms of lightspeed travel, it isn't, it's only around a thousand lightyears away.

Hannizio

The_Devil_Incarnate "that's a lot. So your Fleet was already on its way here before the battle?"

Hannizio
No, the warpgate travel's through subspace and allow's them to reach here almost instantly.

The_Devil_Incarnate

Hannizio "No, I guess it seems our methods of FTL are faster than yours then."

Hannizio

ZendikaroftheWest I dont think that the warpgate still worked when the fleet arrived

Hannizio

The_Devil_Incarnate Maybe. I was wondering about the signals

ZendikaroftheWest

Hannizio
maybe. but i was explaing what they did and how

The_Devil_Incarnate

Hannizio Okay, how our warpgates work is that they create an artificial FTL one way FTL route, that's how my ships got there. But to have a working Wargate system you need at least 2 gates, so you can go back and fourth.

Maybe
wait what
wtf
how

ZendikaroftheWest

The_Devil_Incarnate
But.. that could be turned into a massive railgun.

The_Devil_Incarnate

ZendikaroftheWest the explanation was out of roleplay.

The_Devil_Incarnate

ZendikaroftheWest "I seriously doubt it could, and even if it could, the railgun would only have an effective range within the system. And because this star system is going to be Federation territory after the gate is built, I don't see any problems with a defensive railgun if it were to be built.

ZendikaroftheWest

The_Devil_Incarnate
But you said it had the power to shoot ships through ftl to here, and you could create another one here, and shoot through most of the galaxy
