Okay. There's cargo container (about the size and mass of a modern cargo container) on its way to the sun. The container is traveling at about 10,000 meters per second or about 170,000 miles per hour. You want to stop this container from impacting the sun but your ship is too small to simply stop an object of that mass traveling at that speed with it's tractor beam. It simply can't generate enough energy without going critical. Furthermore, your ship can't move fast enough to intercept the ship without again making your rector go critical (the ship is kind of crappy). It has limited sub-light engines (capable of about 1,000 meters per second) and a non-variable faster than light engine. How are you going to slow down the container to a speed that you can tractor the container into your cargo bay. The idea is to preserve anything that is inside.

Rules-ish

1. You can't use the ship's shields to stop the container as it would result in overloading the ship.

2. You have a few kinetic charges, missiles, and generic 'beam' weapons.


Lemme hear how you would use non-existing technology and theoretical physics to solve this problem. There's no wrong answer outside of breaking the rules.

Hello, all. I'm a fairly experienced writer and role-player and I come to this site for some mature and adult themed RPs. I do enjoy a great deal of plot with my stories.


Modern
Fantasy
Modern-Fantasy
Fantasy-Science Fiction
Sci-Fi
Historical (Medieval, Victorian, Wild-West, etc.)
Steam-Punk
Cyber-Punk
Post-Apocalyptic
Anthro
Pin-up (Love this!)

Elder Scrolls

On the following premises:

VIP - Bodyguard
Commander - Subordinate
Soldiers
Strangers
Teacher - Student
Celib. - Fan
Opposite social cliques (Goth - Jock, Geek - Alternative Style (Punk, Emo, Industrial, Rockabilly)) This is something that is hard to keep interesting so if we are going to do this I'd like to work out a really interesting plot.


Well that's that. Any questions or if you're interested in an RP feel free to PM me.

Some of you might know me. Others might know me well. Most people call me Panda, and I've been RPing for a good while. I enjoy Sci-fi and fantasy role-play but I've been know to dip my fingers into just about anything. I'm 22 and I've got a stressful job so I come to forums like this to unwind and chill. The less drama the better in my book, and I tend to be calm and collected about most things. Here are a few things you need to know about me.

1. I love pandas. Giant ones, Red ones, I just love pandas. I like to think that I loved pandas before it was cool but I try not to make myself look like more of a hipster than I already do.

2. I love vodka. I'm drinking some right now in fact.

3. I love video games. I've been playing Star Wars the Old Republic recently.

4. If we are having a conversation and I suddenly stop responding it is most likely because I went and got some noms. I'm a slave to my stomach. When you have a super fast metabolism that's really the only way to be.

5. Never under any circumstances should you touch and or poke my belly button. I make dividing by zero look like adding vinegar to baking soda.

That's about it. Hope to meet and become acquainted with all of you.
