Maybe they sell 100% in each dimension they are present in. That way they could keep selling in each dimension, since it is seperated. And maybe their stock only covers the facilities that are present in that particular universe. And maybe some stock holders are special with multiversal stocks. What about that?

Shares can change if they are bought and sold. Remember rich people make their money work for them so even a minor drop in the stock may cause them to sell. So I would say the percentages are a generalization to demonstrate their wealth.

It is likly the naruni hod 60% stock options which are the voting share of the stock market, vs the publicly traded stock which are not stock options.

Yeah, it does sound about right. Although you could technically have them retain 51% that would work too!

That is as far as we were discussing Josh. But my thoughts were at first including the whole of NE.

Who knows, maybe each diemension's stock is only a fraction of NE's "Megaversal" stock.

I.e. Phase World/Three Galaxies shareholders own 50% of the total stock, so that if someone owns 5% of the Phase World Stock, they really own.... et cetera.

Kind of deep to dig, though I do find the speculation to be fun.

That is my original thought too! Being that they are multiversal corporation. It would make sense.

And NE would make it look that simple to each dimension it comes to and offers stock there. That way they get more inroads to sell their products and come that much closer to controlling the multiverse.

It might be buried somewhere on their standard contract. But you'd have to know where to look.

That would be about their legal mentality! NE is a bunch of legal eagles, especially when it comes to their own stuff.

I could definately seeing NE doing that. I could also see them marketing PA and robots from earth out in the Megaverse. You know as antiques! For collectors.

Some fluff text stated that Triax stuff is pretty popular
in the 3 Galaxies.

As for tech level, if the 3G standard is the HK G36
assault rifle, those guns aren't flintlocks, but more
like those "western" style guns, which are using
brass cased cartridge. Even the WWII tech level,
including the Sturmgewehr.

And yeah, it is probably the NE which supplies them
(but do not ask how do they get it, since the
NGR does not suffer from lack of hardware).

Adios

Sense plasma guns already have an electro-magnetic containment field to direct the plasma burst it would seem a natural fit to add a railgun. Modify one of the standard sized guns to use the smaller plasma shells then use the extra room in the clip to hold the railgun ammo. :D

Yeah, I thought about that but the Naruni guns are already so dang big its almost cartoon-ish. Besides, this way its got a surprise factor when you hit a guy with a super-sonic shard of metal! ;)

That would be a very hard one to aquire. The round I suggested would be easier to produce. Although we need the gun experts to chip in too.

Actually, if a hypersonic metal slug (like one shot from
a CG or even a "conventional" railgun) hits something,
it does not need additional incendiary for setting it
afire.

A fast enough slug, if stopped dead by armor most probably
turns into plasma (ie. when its movement energy is converted
to heat).

In this thing I agree with the Atomic rocket site Glitterboy2098
cites so frequently.

Maybe... Well a sufficiently large and fast projectile
might contain a small amount of fusion material, so
on impact a small fusion explosion adds a bit to damage
done. (This kind of projectile most certainly does more
MD to armor than to shields...).

Adios

Well... It is not really a matter of preference.

It is like we need a slug, which is

a, conductor
b, hard (to penetrate armor)
c, hard to melt (air drag will heat it to some thousands
celsius, depending on speed).

But still, if they are stopped dead in their track,
their movement energy is converted to
a, deforming the slug and the armor
b, heat

If that heat is enough, it will convert the slug
(more likely part of the slug, and part of the armor)
into plasma.

Remember, high-speed KE darts used in anti-tank
guns will set afire anything it hits (including the dart itself,
filling the killed vehicle with highly toxic and slightly
radiant uranium oxide).
