Apologies if this is not the appropriate place but could I please have The Jedi Path removed from the Archives and returned for final approval. The Dev thread has finally been finished.

Just wondering, is it possible for an AI to be used for mass-production

Because AIs are a restricted material their production is capped at limited production. For more information about restricted materials, you can check the Factory Standardized Rules.

Good evening factory folks,

I was wondering, I have a tier 3 company that I have somewhat left to disappear into obscurity. I'd like to take over the company with this new character, as the old CEO/President character is now deceased, and I'd like to carry on with the company. Is there any company modification I need to do before making factory submissions/doing business threads/tiering up? (Just a little note, this is a factory submitted company, not Canon)

The Factory rules specify that an approved item cannot be used in a thread which start date begins before the item's approval date. Does date include time as well? i.e. if an approved item is approved an hour after the thread has started?

The rule is enforced including time if it is reported, but if the other party (other people you're writing with) are okay with you using a submission that was approved after the thread started you should be in the clear. Just keep in mind that you may be reported if everyone you're writing with are not okay with it, which would mean a Role-Play Judge might ask for you to stop using the submission.

 

[Jak Sandrow]

[member="Darth Ananta"] Alright, thanks for the clarification!

find my self in a wee dilemma
i'm planning this as a barricade weapons platform

Spoiler

it's intended as a portable prefab barricade. so it's a trailer. would it count as a vehicle or Tech?

 

[sabrina]

does an auction count as a dev thread, for the person holding an auction?
if the company does mining, as part activities.

 

[Jak Sandrow]

For workshops, can personal commission threads count separate from Unique products? i.e. if I did a unique product and a thread for that product, would those count separately? Or as only one or the other?

 

[Cira]

[member="Lyth Meran"]

Vehicle if it can move.

[member="sabrina"]

Yes, if it is roleplayed out.

[member="Jak Sandrow"]

If you make a commission thread to craft an item, that counts as one.

 

[Jak Sandrow]

[member="Cira"] Alright, thanks!

Ello guys and gals! I shall soon become famous on this forum, for i have waaaay too many questions needing answers. Question of the day: Would a rebound ray cannon be okay? Heres what i was thinking:
Range-Standard turbolaser range
Damage: 0,5x turbolaser damage on 1st bounce, turbolaser damage on second bounce, serious damage (1,5 to 2x turbolaser damage, whatever is reasonable enough)
Bounces: 3x per shot
Bounce range-500 m to 2 km, whatever is reasonable enough
Curved shot tragectory, requires advanced targeting computers to plot shots quickly and reliably
Weak in 1v1 duels
Slow tracking but can bring down three small ships with one shot (rounds are attracted to metal, once within 10- 50 metres from target, the shot veers to the target) Rebounds almost never miss (only ridiculously fast ships can evade cuz speed and attracted to metal)
I really like this concept and the stats can be changed easily. Could a member of staff edit this to something they think is reasonable? PM me with the reply or tag me here if you can answer this question and give e pointers on reasonable stats for this weapon. I want this to be minor production or even limited and im ready to write dev threads about it. Still need to expand my company to do weaponry.

Based on the information you've provided I do not see something of this design being acceptable when balance is put into consideration. A weapon which fires turbolaser rounds that home in on their target, can hit multiple target by bouncing/rebounding, and does more damage with each successive hit is not balanced.

To break it down:

• Turbolasers have no canonical ability to lock onto targets (after the shot is fired), or be attracted to metal in the way you've envisioned. This, by itself, is largely unbalanced.
• Turbolaser rounds being able to strike multiple targets by way of rebounding or bouncing breaks from what turbolasers do in canon, and thus from star wars.
• Each successive strike from these bounces doing more damage is not balanced.

I'm not sure if this goes here, but it's been over a week since I've received any response from the RPJ about my current sub sitting in the factory, while there have been other subs reviewed and approved in that time frame.

If I try to modify an old sub to make it less OP and more in line with the current tech template is it going to be judged as if it were a new piece of tech?

 

[Jamie Pyne]

[member="Gilamar Skirata"] Is the old sub already approved? If not, you're better off just making a new submission. If it is already approved, it will be re-reviewed at current standards.

 

[Gilamar Skirata]

[member="Jamie Pyne"]

So either way its going to be re-judged?

 

[Jamie Pyne]

[member="Gilamar Skirata"] If the submission is heavily modified or incredibly old yes, it will be re-judged.
