Citadel/Sol’s Worldbuilding Thread

a really interesting trope i’ve never really seen used aside from one piece of media is that everyone has a form of ‘magic’ (which is relatively hard to use and varies from person to person) however people are convinced it is hereditary

In this verse most people are naturally inclined towards certain types of techs based on their personality, but with enough practice they can learn anything

Can’t wait for hit titles to come out of this world such as vaccination company, reading facility of damagia, and pwongus corporation

space covid

I can’t wait for 5 people’s lives to get completely ruined on a ship in the middle of space because one of them is a complete asshole

Add Gatinsir

Look closer.

Yo dude add mass drivers/raiguns

Might fit in well

yes.

mass drivers I imagine are used to help mine out planets for metal (you need a lot to build a space station)

railguns are just cool
i imagine smaller warships make use of them
not too hard to fabricate a rail

Are we gonna have like nanobots,moleculer transformations?

possibly? could you elaborate on that a bit?

Well i havent thought about that much perhaps like reforming persons parts into guns tools stuff,mimicking other beings attributes or physical form and something like swarm of nanobots used to assasinate people or on open fight at first this comes to my mind

eh
probably not
nanobots have their uses but they’re not really weapons

Would be interesting to have a faction doing r&d on weaponizing them though

they’d definitely try
one of the districts has a huge military-industrial complex

right now using chemical or biological weapons is just much more effective than expensive nanobots that have a very low probability of succeeding

understandable

Quick question, are cyborgs a thing in this verse, and what about super soldiers?

very high-tech mechanical prosthetics do exist so technically yes to cyborgs

super soldiers also technically exist because techniques involving superhuman strength, durability and speed exist. its not some kind of implant, but something that is learned and trained to perfection

most star empires have a small collection of extremely powerful soldiers that have mastery over a litany of combat and defensive techniques, who are deployed for ground warfare in whats often a literal mechanical exoskeleton

for both its not in the typical way that science fiction probably does it, but yes they do

hardest part of making the map is finding a name for all the filler systems

I’ve been copying the names of stars in the constellations they’re named after but guess what half of them don’t have a single named star in them

I don’t want it to look like I wiped my ass with my keyboard

Just take the names of some forumers.

That or consult mythology.
