Alright, those nanites sound like they would work. *sees project list* No, not an implant, just like a knife.

And the port isn't standard. Whoever did my implants seems to have liked making custom ports and connections, like my power inlet. It shouldn't be hard to figure out how the tip should work, or be shaped, though.

Ok, I've fixed the list.

Oh, and my dagger swords are just here in the lab. So if anyone has the time to finish them I'd very much appreciate it.

Retractable Sword Daggers Upgrade: Progress Report

Ok, I've managed to get it hooked up with a power device and some conduction cables, but I still need control over it. I have the previously mentioned control nob made up and have added a fair but of rubber for my own protection, but once again, I still need an to be able to control the strength of the current so if someone can make a kind of dimmer switch-type thing I'd appreciate it

If we put in a dimmer switch we can just integrate both the dimmer and the control knob. I suppose if we make the handle a bit thicker we'll have room for the dimmer mechanisms.

[Strife]

I would like to request an upgrade for my space armor. At the moment, my armor only has polarized surface shielding, which won't do much good in long-term combat. I'll need a strong, embedded force shield that can withstand both physical blows and magical energies. I will especially need protection against heat and fire attacks.

If you need Magic protection, Strife, I think I can do something for you. A long-term Minor-medium Sheild spell should do it, but you'll have to make do If It shatters, which it might under strong spells.

@zari - Hmm... At least that would be better than what I have right now, which is 0% magic resistance. xD And even though i'm getting better at casting earth magic, it's unlikely that i'll able to protect myself with stones.

Speaking of which, that's another reason why I want my armor to be tougher. Playing with boulders can put scratches and dents in it, especially with the new Earthquake spell i've been practicing where I have to drive my fist into the ground.

But yes, I would appreciate your offer, Zari. ^_^ Now I just need someone to help with developing a force shield for physical attacks such as swords, bullets, and explosions. It's difficult to command an army if i'm incapacitated, so defense is my top priority.

Right. Okay, just stand still...

It appears to have one less network prong than these standard ports. Where's that set of electrical goggles? *digs in a cabinet*

Would it be possible to embed this shield spell into an item of clothing; say, a large batch of sweatshirts or uniforms?

And for a forcefield, I think I saw something in one of these books about using bursts of nanites to shoot down missiles. But just doing that looks really complicated; adjusting it to block bullets and sword blows as well would be a nightmare. And we'd have to make a power source that can actually be carried by one person.

I've seen other races develop energy shielding that can absorb any physical or energy-based attack. After a certain amount of damage was absorbed, the shields would crackle and disappear.

It's definitely possible to construct sophisticated shielding, but the problem with it is the resources needed to build them, especially if we plan on protecting the entire Spacefleet army. However, if our weaponry is exceptionally strong, we won't need to rely as much on force shields since the enemy will have a hard time reaching us, so we should get by with only developing force shields for the soldiers who need it the most.
