Re: Zones

Control could be generalized for all spherical zones, even if they intersect. Give each zone a "control level" and "controller" So a zone or an intersection is controlled by "controller" at a value of <control level/sum total of intersecting spheres' control level> It is apparent that an agent that ...

Re: A theory on how to hide data from external agents

Encrypting messages can be combined with spread spectrum transmissions to make communications even harder to intercept. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spread_spectrum since the signal power is spread over a large bandwidth, the signal PSD is much lower — often significantly lower than the noise PSD ...

Re: Zones

AFAIK Josh does not intend to use volume in any aspect of ship management. "Capability" is an abstraction he has invented that doesn't relate to volume. Space also probably won't be divided into cubes. The zones are likely equivalent to spheres of influence, where they are defined by origin, radius ...

Re: H-Tech

Thymine: That is exactly the quantum dynamics I didn't want to get in to.

The propagation of tge probability distribution is not faster than light.
The probability distribution of a subatomic particle propagates radially in all spacial dimensions, not in "The Direction I Want To Travel"

Re: H-Tech

Relativity: All measurements are relative to some inertial reference frame.

Special Relativity: Information NEVER travels faster than light

Thermodynamics: There's no such thing as a free lunch

Quantumn Dynamics: There is SO much to go into here, but I can't fight H-tech.

Re: H-Tech

I'm personally not a fan of H-tech because the physics sits wrong with my understanding of Thermodynamics, Relativity, Special Relativity and Quantumn Dynamics. I'm happy to accept that the physics in the LT universe is ~wrong~, but trying to justify top speeds when there is so much that needs justi...

Re: A theory on how to hide data from external agents

Just going to say. You can't hide your location with any sort of cryptography :p In fact, sending out a signal of any description in space is akin to broadcasting your location ;) - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Edit: Also going to say that Thymine could have chosen a much simpler, faster method o...

Re: Josh + Outerra

Nothing in the Outerra engine is particularly ground-breaking. Atmospheric scattering - pretty sure Josh knows how to do this Procedural LOD meshes - Josh definitely knows how to do this. Heightmaps - My goldfish know how to do this. I'm more excited to see city generation on the planets that are al...
