Is there anything we can do to make future updates easier for ilbgar123? or anything nice we can do for putting up with all of this insanity?
 
which chaos will now try to...we just need to buff up our Anti-Warp Defenses and make areas of the warp "Calm" zones, kind of like the stilling the warp with our crazy bullshit...aka making realms of crystal so bullshit that our daughter can survive chaos's alpha strike and launch her own at them...just to keep them off balance AND turn them against each other.

Direct assaults on Chaos tends to make them close ranks. Emps and HH!Horus as Chaos' Chosen One, for instance. If you can fool them into thinking they've attacked each other, that works better, though Nurgle has experience with Tzeentch's plots, and Tzeentch is terrible idea to try that on for obvious reasons.
 
Nex Really doesn't like the emperor, as the Anathema he is Nex's worst enemy, go see imperial Ascendant to get a general idea on who Nex and the Emperor really are, especially consider that another Anathema is a MASSIVELY Big deal in 40k universe...

To give an example of Nex's Nex-ness.

A figure stands at the edge of the abyss. They stare into each other. Ironic that the deepest depths of horror would be life's last line of defense.

I'm not up on all of 40ks law so this may be a stupid question, bit is Nex a 40k!Canon thing?
 
FTFY, but yeah, that time is very fucking scary. With the Necrons going all out against the Tyranids and stuff like that.
Actually, I just checked and we were both wrong. It is indeed 50K but the quest in question is The Shape of the Nightmare to Come, which amusingly enough is what inspired Embers in the Dusk. You can find Nex mentioned on TSotNtC's TV tropes page but not on EitD
 
Do we have a logo for the eldar craftworld? I want to slap it on shome ships.

Also, I was thinking of having the eldar adopt more materium based technology. Start building ships out of adamantium and ceramite, not just wraithbone.

Why? Wraithbone is better. They might use some orichalcix but I doubt Adamantium or ceramite will be used.

Cost? Better relationship with the bastion? Ability to sell ships to the military/trade? Using psyker powers is now exponentially more dangerous than it used to be? Exploration of the advantages of replicator tech?

I'm not saying that the eldar are totally going give up on wraithbone, but for thier cargo shuttles they can sacrifice something. Plus it would fit with the theme of synthesis. I was going to mark all the hybrid eldar/human ships as part of a prototype program.

Really tho, if nobody has a logo, I'm making one up.
 
What cost? Wraithbone can be made ex nihilo.
Better relationship with the bastion?
we invented freaking spirit stones. Also, a better relationship with the Bastion can be achieved through other, more productive means.
Using psyker powers is now exponentially more dangerous than it used to be?
Not really, what with our Psychic Batteries.
Exploration of the advantages of replicator tech?
They likely already use it for whatever advantage it brings. Not for ship construction though, I imagine.
 
Do archologies need to be located on planets?
Like, would it be possible to build orbital hives? It could be like some sort of human craftworld or something. You know, just in case.

Also, can replicators work with crystal? Crystals are essentially Ex Nihilo matter generation, so you wouldn't even need to deliver as many fresh supplies, basically just food and stuff.

They do not. People just have a problem, as a general rule, with not having a planet under their feet. Sort of like how logically people are aware that the odds of something going wrong with their airplane are so low as to be a non-factor barring active sabotage, but they're still terrified out of their minds if they so much as suspect something's gone wrong.

That would work, and it's not like psychic energy has a cap since it doesn't follow the 'don't make or unmake anything, just reuse it' rule Materium stuff does.

The thing is, if you are going to revolutionize your shipbuilding techniques by using the new bastion derived psy battery, you might as well experiment with other tech and start making prototype ships using other materials. I was going to make an omake where the eldar make a hybrid cargo shuttle, then expand on that design program into boarding shuttles and agriculture ships.

No word on the craftworld logo? Dibs on it.

You want an image? Or a description?

Also, experimenting doesn't mean actually doing mass production of bastion-eldar ships. They could do material tests and maybe a prototype or two but I doubt there's more. Especially when our ships are objectively inferior.

In fairness to Moss, civilian ships are never given the same tech and resource investment as military ships unless they're purpose-built for evacuation. It's not impossible the military ships would have Wraithbone and Orichalcix, while the civilian ships (intra-system transports, cargo haulers, etc.) are made of more mundane materials. Wraithbone is hard to make in large quantities. Orichalcix is easier, but it just doesn't have the same durability.

So human craftworld is out for reasons of real estate value sucking, but what about having it be a navy asset? Less craftworld and more battleship/fleet logistical base/mobile shipyard.

Like, carrying spare crewmen, spare parts, manufactorum, advanced medical facilities, R&R facilities, civilian contractors providing non-military food, etc . . . spare escort ships maybe?

Even then, orbital colonies might not be an entirely bad thing just in case something happens to the planet below. There's bound to be enough weirdos who would be fine with life in orbit to bring at least one to minimum operational capacity.
