Erm... Jack. Your bubble universe has long been demolished.
Not quite; it was ordered (by a politician - how often do those orders to the general public actually get done?), blasting had been accomplished with "normal" weapons at the site, and wanton destruction was done on both sides of the interface - but nothing attacked the pocket universe itself (at best, the seal might have severed the connection between). I might have missed something; if you find it, quote it to me.

Ermm... Angel... those weren;t Dreadnoughts that passed over the B-Destroyers. That was a captured and modified Peacekepper Command Carrier (from Farscape). If you're referring to the Scarran Dreadnoughts, they're nowehre nearby. The COMCA (previously commonly known as Sol III A) is a massive warship. The "standard" (i.e. Capship Mod) version is 25MT, but Peacekeeper COMCA's look even bigger to me.

And you can't annihilate all life within the USS Strategia. You'd have to breach its hyperdimensional shielding first. That shielding ALONE contains the sum of ALL the power of several different dimensions. One tiny ripple in the field would cause your static shell to disappear like it never existed. Another ripple would completely annihilate the interdimansional bounds that separate dimensions, causing at least 17 different spatial dimensions and 923 different temporal dimensions to be randomly scrambled and intertwined.

No, but really. On a COMCA you can put hundreds of Phased Shield Generators. Not even your puny Dragon could penetrate that with its fire-breath, even if it had swallowed a red supergiant first. It can generate over 37500 phased shield points.

The PDCs mounted on it are so immense in themselves that they're 'bout as big as an average Trojan asteroid. They could inflict damage enough to take out a full stock Starbase with only a Master Computer and shielding.

Unfortunately, as of now Uber-Overkill-Mounts aren't available yet, as I've yet to redesign ground combat - and I've not gotten around to modding in at least two or three days.

Strategia, I'd suggest re-reading Null-Ashton's post. The B-Destroyers ARE the dreadnoughts I was referring to. Furthermore, a static-nullification field of the divine variety instantly severs all links with other dimensions as this is the most basic of it's functions. Ergo, the hyperdimensional shielding would have failed the moment the static field was errected, allowing my dear Zero to splatter that COMCA into goo.

Leaving his destroyed flesh behind, Jack has an encounter with death.

Death: "You AGAIN?!"

Jack: "So, are you going to try and keep up form, or have you given up after all these innumerable attempts?"

Death: "I think I'm done."

Death then walks away, while Jack builds a new body for his own habitation from scattered atoms. He then re-establishes the gateway between the hut and a nearby material plane. (After all, everyone was blowing it up from OUTSIDE; all anyone actually hit was the interface. Inside the bubble universe, damage to inanimate objects is quickly rectified by the bubble universe itself, and so only really affects the patrons & staff. In other words, Zero, no need to worry about storytelling your way out of being inside the hut when it got blasted. Sealing the primary demension simply isolated the Hut from that plane of existance.)

My B-Destroyers have 4 type V PDC's on them, so they can blast away any debris that would land on it. Plus, they can use themselves as a shield, with 3750 phased shield points and 1000 or so hull points.

A silence descends across the Won-Ton Violence Take-Out Hut.. a tumbleweed skitters across the bar room floor on its lonesome journey, all is quiet, all round the house, nothing is stirring, not even that bloody mouse Narf...

A rather overmuscled, heavily befang-ed nasty looking (but yet debonair and handsome) tiger pushes open the door, blissingly shortcircuiting all the ineffective forcefields and dampening fields in the hut..

He stubs out the rather large havana he has been smoking (naturally, on the nearest member of staff) and cradles the steaming one-and-only red hot poker hand cannon in his armpit. He scratches his derriere blissfully and has a look round the wrecked hut.

"Ladies, please. As you recall, PROPER cartoon violence is conducted mano et mano, eye to eye, backside to backside, legion of byzantine killer mongooses to army of ninja killer micro-shrimp, and preferably with large hand weapons and an awful lot of attitude and extreme prejudice.

What we do not do is attack each other with large fleets of spaceships in what effectively is a boasting contest a la my todger is bigger than yours. Surely it is all about a healthy mix of linguistic creativity, imagination, elan and savoir faire with a measure of sexual tension to boot....

I am here to announce that Tigg-Scoff PLC WILL NOT be considering any takeover offer for the Won Ton Hut. We will instead be reinvesting capital in the cantina, with all new look FBW's (it stands for Fluffy Bunny Waitresses by the way), theme nights, theme fights, tribble wings and a variety of amusing and interesting anecdotes for your delectation and delight. Crikey, we have even persuaded Mac to bathe for the occassion...

I trust you will be all able to join us for a cheeky half or two..

PS of course, not making a take over bid does not mean that gratuitous violence may not occur!!

This is for protection of the hut. And to vaporize anyone I don't like...

...NEWS FLASH

A large group of very rare Xiati/Cue-Cappa crossbreeds, of which none were supposed to exist after the Genological Riots, have complained about a disturbed psychotemporal quantum field near the Won-Ton Violence Take-Out Hut. Upon inspection, officials concluded that the restaurant had been replaced with a quantumchroniton illusion that functioned as the gateway between the material world and a pocket universe. Councillor Hackett, the councilman that ordered the investigation, demanded it be removed immediately, and the original Hut put back in its place.

When asked, Hackett stated that this occurence had nothing to do with his new Intragalactic Inc. TX-23 interplanetary sports car, or with the firebombing - which happened sometime later.

Growltigger Enterprises has generously offered to place tight security near the restaurant, if it ceded corporate control to GT Enterprises. When the hut proprietor, a mr. Huxtable, refused, another firebombing consumed the entire alcohol storage building next door, where the main ingredients for most of the establishment's drinks were kept.

GT Enterprises has refused to comment on this occurence.
