so looking for the "age" of an AI can be pretty hard and Dragon is probably somewhere between 9 years old and 9 Thausend years old

I believe that it would be a new determination in the eye of the department of justice. these laws were installed to protect those who simply were not expected to have the experience and personal agency to self-determine partnerships in the many facets of life. be it romantic or politic or any other sphere require a majority of age.

Can we... not maybe? Don't get me wrong, if it goes that way sure fine whatever, but I'm not getting that vibe. Tats is essentially a few days old right now. She needs time to get her head on straight before anyone brings up shipping and the way things are going Taylor seems more like that cool aunt who gets her things and worries about how she's doing because she needs a strong female role model.

A few days old? Where in the world did you get that idea? Her brain was preserved. Her age hasn't changed at all.

Plus, the original comment was clearly a joke.

It really was. It was also a clever way of getting the thread to focus on the story and not the other stuff. It worked.
I honestly do prefer the current Vicky/Relentless ship that's in the drydock. Taylor is clearly adopting Leah as a sort of minion-daughter, which is cute in it's own way. And I'm 100% okay with shipping that entirely non-romantic relationship as is.
 
ok this is going away from the one true ship Taylor x simurgh (joking but i would be infinitely happy if this happens squee!)
 
While not at all romantic, the relationship I'd most like to see followed up on myself is Vista-as-cape-mentor, because that whole sequence was one of my favorite things in any Wormfic ever.

Let's just be honest here: All 3 of Taylor's current relationships are great and we want to see more of them.
Which requires our beloved ensou to write more.
 
I'll just note that saying one is "most wanted" does not necessarily mean that I'm not interested in the others. It's like a race where you can only tell the winner by looking at the finish line photo.
 
Hmm leaving the shipping to the side, anyone here is up to date with arpeggio lore?
Someone knows who the hell created ships made of nanomachines?

You mean the guy who writes the stuff, or the In-universe guy who was like, "Let's add nanomachines to our boats, because why not, (and also some fuck off huge guns, for flavour)

The former can be found with a quick google search I'm sure, but the latter was still largely a mystery last I saw anyone talking about it. We do need to know who to have our transfictional avatars track down to give them their honorary Spacebattler and Velocitan cards after all.

huh, would corrosion torpedoes even affect endbringers?

I'm pretty sure this has been done to death, with the answer being 'Yes... If you can manage to hit them'.

Of course, that is very much so the issue here, as all known Endbringers have a rather nasty ability that makes projectiles tough to use against them effectively.

Endbringers are ultimately acts of author fiat, so it's up to the author whether or not they would. Personally I'd say yes, but my bias is towards never having to deal with the overpowered Poochie brigade until it's time to dispose of them casually. Your mileage may vary.
 
The timeline seen in the volumes of manga indicates that someone in the Third Reich and the Japanese Empire discovered nanomachines towards the end of WW2, and they were beginning to activate in the closing days thereof. However, because of the defeat of both Germany and Japan, the activation was never completed. Then , in the mid 2030's, they suddenly became active again, and thus, the world became re-acquainted with WW2 era ships loaded out with ordnance and armament that would make Star Wars Empire cackle gleefully.

Corrosive Torpedos appear to generate a virtual singularity and event horizon on activation. The only defense appears to be the Klein field, which is itself a manipulation of local space-time, hence why a mental model needs to devote processing resources to keep ahead of the collapse of local space time from the torpedo by expanding portions of the Klein field to counteract the collapse, and not let it hit the hull...

IMHO, A corrosive torpedo could damage an endbringer. However, you'd have to hit them first. The one most likely to be hit would be Behemoth; Leviathan moves too fast, and Ziz would simply see it coming the day before and be elsewhere. I'm unsure about Khonsu or The Twins, though.

Moreso against Behemoth, because Fogtech explicitly works on manipulation of gravitational waves, not any kind of projected energy – for all that the discharge of a Super Graviton Cannon looks like an energy beam, Behe's dynakinesis won't do squat against it.

I'd argue that lack of effectiveness against Leviathan, though – remember that whole "parting the Red Sea"/"target is floating in midair" effect that accompanies SGC usage. It may be possible to pin Levi in place with that, so that he can't dodge.

About Levi; yeah he's pinned in place, but so is the ship firing (which has to lower it's Klein field in order to do so) and the water under Levi's control is still free to move. He'd have plenty of time to annihilate a Fog ship trying to use an SGC well before the big flashy doom cannon finishes charging, especially if he realizes the threat and quits sandbagging.
