So Ascended beings and Daimon Races do not have bonuses for the Artificial Base Defence System, while normal races receive a bonus... that could work... and then people have the choice of ascending or staying normal lol.

Also, when and what is Admin meet day?

Shouldn't ascended races get the exact same bonus as their parent race.

ie System Lord gets what a goauld would?

Re: How about an artificial base defence system?

yeah, that was what i thought at first, but apparently the ascended beings already have powerful bonuses, and another bonus on the defence system would make it unfair for others.

it could, ascended weapons are 5 times stronger then unascended.

But if there is no change in the AI systems, then it wouldn't matter. But if the AI power increases with ascending then the individual race bonuses should be lost. JMO

Re: How about an artificial base defence system?

MotherShips get bonuses from ascensions right? Because if that was the case, then the defence system should be different, with the race bonus still intact, while it doesn't actually power itself up from all the ascension bonuses.

well you design it as you want.

ascended weapondry is more powerful NOT because it has the power of an ascended being running through it, but because the ascended being "Blessed" its followers with technology that allowed more powerful weapons.

So the defense system can go either way. Can stay weak and keep race specific bonuses, or can transend and become 5 times stronger but lose race specific bonuses.

Your the creator.

Re: How about an artificial base defence system?

Well, there are "followers" running the AI system... that's the Security Personnel...

now i'm confused...

wait, no i'm not... AI is usually regarded as technology... so yeah, no more race specific bonus, and become boosted when ascending.

If anyone has any objections or other ideas to add, then please post them here.

Re: How about an artificial base defence system?

No worries Lore, at least you understand now...

i could probably get to one of those meetings for about 10min, but that's no good... annoying time zone differences...

Initially I thought no, why would they as they are land based,,,,,,

But, A MS does make attacks on ground troops, so I would think yes it would.

But its the creators idea.
