New Names for New races

[mac5732]

Some good ideas here, how about the following

Name - Mel-Nath (The Hunters)
AI Race (Robotic)
Hates all Organic Life Forms believes they are the highest order in Univers
Atmosphere - None (can live anywhere)
Harmonic - Sound Wave weapons & Tech
Extreme Xenophobic
Extreme Aggressivness
High Research
High Intel
Militaristic
Extreme Expansionists
Diplomacy - 5%
Polictical - 0
Cunning - Above average
Computers - high
Not affected by plagues
Affected by Computer Viruses
either glazes planets or depopulates pop and replaces with their pop

What do you guys think

Just some ideas Mac

ehm..i don't think that 'll in outer space, maybe something like ehm...ehm..., nope can't think of anything, sorry

but i like that truely organic thing, something like moya in farscape

Lemmy, even tho you can't hear sound in space
(supposedly) sound waves do carry and go thru space, look at our radio transmissions that go out into space as well as Messages that various countries have sent out..

For a new weapon tech, if worked on could be a good addition.

Also how about a Race of Warrior Monks?, extreme Religious Fanatics, hate all other Religious Races?

radio transmissions are electronic waves, like light, IIRC from my physichs classes and sound is basicly a pressure change in the air, since there is no air in space you can't hear anything...
to sum it up, radio-transmissions are like light, only on a different frequency, and sound...well, that's just sound

but this is way off-topic, sorry about that

Radio waves are electromagnetic, with a longer wavelength than infrared. You need a radio to "convert" them back into sound.

I'm not sure if this really counts as "sound wave" weaponry, but the concept of using harmonics as weaponry is doable. Perhaps one of the harmonic frequencies of charged particle beam could cause the hull of the starship to resonate and fill the interior with a gut-wrenching sound.

Intense vibrations could also lead to intense heat buildup as well as causing metals to become brittle and easily shattered. Imagine the terror of the crew as they hear the rising pitch of their own hulls as the beam begins to crumble the high tensile alloy hull and realise that soon the relatively low air pressure inside the cabin will burst the hull like a worn bicycle tire.

Of course, variable frequency "disruptor" beams and "rotating shield harmonics" have already been done. Just thought I'd lend some imagery to the discussion.

what if you could intercept the communication frequencies of an enemy fleet and send really annoying sounds through them like britney spears , doing damage to the entire fleet, but this weapon won't work against a single ship because they won't have any communication channels open.
is it possible to do damage against an entire fleet? don't think so, too bad
