Somehow I'm not too shocked about that.

Trionya, how could you be the representative of the color orange? That is extremely child-like.

Okay I added that the Imperial Department of Scientific and Military Research provided the coating. Mike, please also provide your review on the power of the superlaser.

No offense, but I'm not terribly interested in wanking up that which is already wanked. However, that being said, I think the superlaser should be used as the nose of a giant face painted on the Death Star like the iconic Smiley Face. Now you can be cheerful and positive while terrorizing the enemies of the Empire!

Mike, it is not wanked. Yes, it is based on the Death Star superlaser, but can also destroy ships, destroy/create moons and suns. It requires a lower recharge rate of one hour at the most.

Do you know what "wank" means?
If you did, you would realize it is, indeed, very, very, very wanked.
It makes Wong's numbers seem almost plausible... ;)

Have you considered writing a somewhat original story instead of just BADLY plagiarising other ppls work and creations?.

Oh.. oh god, rich. Completely and totally rich. My sides are hurting from the laughing.

My joy aside... I can think of a few childish things. Trolling boards, not engaging in true debates... writing a story that involves a crystal that can save the entire universe, bend time and space, but didn't' have the "time" to save its creators...

just saying. All sorts of things are childish.

I wonder. The Orange Star has little to no flaws at all.

That is what makes it a poor foundation for a story, you cannot invent a flawless indestructable perfect thing and expect to make a interesting story around it.

You may has well of invented a big red button with the words "I-WIN" on it and then write a story that involves you pressing it everytime anything at all threatens you.

The Orange Star has a thermal exhaust port that doomed the first Death Star, but that port is protected by hundreds of guns, is both ray and particle shielded, and has security locks, sealing it when danger-ed.

Trouble is, shields would need to leave a hole when the core produces energy and needs to vent some out. You better come with a very well tuned system that precisely shuts the shield the moment the exhaust is out. Or, you actually build your exhaust shaft as a magnetic accelerator, so any solid warhead or bolt made of matter will be pushed back, while the exhaust will be accelerated out. You can leave that on all the time. I believe tens of kilometers of a force field pushing you forward (or more precisely upward) would take care of any penetrating projectile.

I just wrote a story that had a snail build a pebble that blows up Orange stars by thinking about it. It's an awesome story.

Srsly, take that as an example for why wanking out your stories is bad writing.

So you have a flaw that is totally unexploitable, given the almost miraculous destruction of the first Death Star?

Thats not a flaw you smeghead, that thing is sealed up tighter then a Republican's arse!

I know you read my advice on SDN about wank, do you not comprehend why your being mocked across two boards?

Wow, SDN and SFJN united (if unoffically) on something!? Surely this is a sign of the Apocalypse!

Plagiarizing Superman's origin story and swapping out some names/terms will do that to you. I frankly can't imagine the level of scorn should he post the orange star on SDN.
