Invasion of Roche OOC [GR vs Mandos]

Since the Eidolons have built-in sensor masks that manipulate electromagnetic fields to blend into an environment, and since their hulls aren't metallic in nature, I'm sort of curious as to how much of a magnetic signature you'd be able to get on them.

There is no section of the Vanish 2 Military Sensor Masking System that mentions manipulating electromagnetic fields, nor is there a section in the Blackest Night System or in the Eidolon submission itself that mentions such capabilities. Likewise, there is no mention in the Eidolon submission or in the Fiberplast and StealthX pages that states that Fiberplast or the Eidolon are non-metallic in nature. Similarly, the General Purpose Warhead Launcher, Caecius Drive System, and Zephyr Hyperdrive list Durasteel, Synth-Steel, and Titanium-chromium as construction materials.

Fiberplast is like carbon fiber. This was mentioned in several novels that feature the StealthX.

Happens I guess. I'll have a post up for you two shortly then.

I've posted as well. I'm not sure where Cuan is at, but if he goes MIA, I can NPC some republic starfighters for you Anija, if you'd like.

Just so we're clear, there's no refunds on bags of candy distributed during an invasion.

If that's the case, the amount of metal available to detect could easily be fairly low. Like I said, some of the systems included in the sub list standard metals as construction materials. I've gone through and double checked the subs and Wiki pages, but I'm still not seeing any mention of Electromagnetics. I gave the benefit of the doubt for the most part. Only two of the three sensor frigates (for real. All they do is detect stuff.) were able to detect anything, and even then it was only because they came flying into the system on a 0.8 Hyperdrive. Had they been hanging around before hand and not came in on a 0.8 hyperdrive, I probably wouldn't have had Larraq's fleet notice them. They have a lot of space to keep an eye on, active scanning or not.

I'm sure you have words, whoever you are. There's really no need to be poking at me.

Yep, definitely your mothers kid.

I would like to suggest that metallic components deep within a structure, once sensor radiation has been scattered throughout the rest of the vessel, would not yield an intelligible result.

Or else the validity of any stealth system could be challenged on the basis that a hyperdrive cannot be constructed out of non-metallic components.

I feel we should focus on the spirit of the submission, rather than become mired in an endless debate over particulars.

I shall have a post up as Anija tomorrow sometime. waking up at 4 AM was really only conducive to kid posts

Sensor... Radiation?


I could also argue that the point of having dedicated sensor frigates and corvettes is to detect stealthed ships. Without a means of detecting such ships (such as including advanced sensors capable of bypassing such stealth technology), then there would be no validity to any such ships dedicated to the role of detection.

Don't worry though. Gir and I are talking about it in a PM.

Just my two bits, but gathering from the commentary and not reading the actual post, if they arrived in system with a .8 hyperdrive... arguably, that'd get the attention of sensors right off the bat. No way to mask that, really. Hyperdrive signals draw sensors, sensors detect metal that wasnt there before, no matter how small, two and two equals ships. Ships plus invasion generally mean threats. Republic acting as it is with everyone gunning it for a war criminal (rightfully so) means something stealthy and sneaky hiding from sensors is probably something important. Something important in space that's trying to sneak? Shoot it.

Anyways, just my view.
