Well, naturally, the proposals I made were out of the "logic" that felt naturally. I do not know what the Developer Team, let alone Igiss as the mod creator intended with some of the mysteries in Sirius. Ultimately, I guess Igiss says what is Kanon and what is not, and since its a tad difficult to catch up with all the events that occured in the years after, the only thing I really can do is... "assume". And we all know, if I "assume" I make an "ass" out of "u" and "me":D
So, since I have not really a guideline that tells what certain things are and what they are not (naturally), I can only shoot blindly. Of course if you tell me, that what you just said is Kanon, as Igiss made it Kanon, then I will pull the breaks immedeately! I cannot know anything that is passed along in secrecy, as being a player Nomad must obviously be permitted by admins so the broad base of sirius still has not the foggiest about it. Also I can understand that these informations are not submitted anywhere due to ooRP lore that could (and would) be abused.
The thing with the Dyson sphere is, I am still not convinced that it should fall apart anyways (except if it is meant to be because Igiss said it). With the Daam K'Vosh being rather "long" on the pulse of existence, the questions arise how much of a maintenance would be necessary anyway. We could guess, a Civilisation with that technology, would have no real effort to create auto-maintenance facilities like nanites or robots or whatever else thats beyond our imagination. Perhaps they just built the whole damn thing to LAST into eternity. Or just until the sun collapses / provides insufficient energy. The Dyson sphere must be able to withstand regular impacts of meteors and whatnots, so its either just bold massive or has incredible shielding capabilities, which are fueled from a part of the sun's energy the sphere absorbs.
Also, just by naming what we know from the game (and the Discovery wiki therefor), the Nomads were (perhaps?) inactive for several hundred years until Rheinland expeditions stirred them up. Also, judging from the fact that the shielding of the entrance in singleplayer mode was active and needed to be torn down, at least parts of the sphere remained intact.
What I COULD understand though, is that the Dyson sphere falls apart BECAUSE of the Hypergate's activation. Basically, there is no need to absorb all the sun's energy to fuel one single base there. So logically, the Dyson sphere must have been a giant battery that powers the Hypergate if it needs to be activated. So perhaps the gate has not been used for so long, and the power conductors and whatnot became undsteady, so it blew a few fuses inside the Dyson sphere. Then again, this implies that it was not maintained, which also implies that it would have to be maintained by manual meanings whatsover.
Quote:It would be nice, of course, but isn't anywhere on priority list of anyone around.
Is there any priority list to see what is upcoming or what is in the works or planned? Discovery 4.85 is rather fresh out on the server, so perhaps its not much focused yet? I dunno.
Bottom line is; I just spread ideas around, especially for Nomads, I don't know what "creator's rule" (Kanon) regarding them.
And please don't feel insulted if I didn't knew that YOU knew the Developer's take on the Nomads (if that is the case)! :wacko:
To hunt the prey is life,
to lose the prey is death,
to hunt the loss is insane...
