    ALERT 100000000 SPAMBOTS SHIP TYPE KITCHEN DETECTED


    Thepowdertoy: Can you scan the radio network?


    AI: Scanning..... Detected Zangetsu, a lot of spambots traffic that might be coming from a single location... and wait... What?! a emergency human frequency transmitter! Its weak. Starting diagnosis...


    Thepowdertoy: When Zangetsu will come?


    AI: Now!


    *a smaller ship coming from the slipspace*


    Thepowdertoy: Let this ship under automatic control. We're moving


    AI: Why?


    Thepowdertoy: Zangetsu have 2000 ICBM, 7 plasma turrets, several torpedo tubes, and it much more suited for massive spambot ambush


    *moving ship*


    AI: Running reactor diagnosis... Oh no there is spambots infiltrating primary reactor fuel loop! They are trying to kill the reactor


    Thepowdertoy: Kill the reactor and move us to the station


    AI: Kill it? Why?


    Thepowdertoy: They after my mass fabricators used for fueling ICBM. Run the CASUC


    *killing fusion reactors*
    *drifting away*


    Thepowdertoy: Lets hope the station have a supercomputer... I'm thinking we can take the spambots transmitter and send virus to all the spambots, like EnderWraithGuard want to do..

    Let me try to translate OP:


    Fiber optic cable:
    Properties:
    It can transfer light like cable does with EU, loss one unit of light energy every 44 blocks (essentially creating another Enet for light, with fiber optic as conductor). They can get light only from split ends, another fiber optics, and light affecting blocks.
    Recipe:
    :Advanced Furnace::Advanced Furnace::Advanced Furnace:


    :Advanced Furnace: = glass


    Uses: Light Enet conductor


    Refractor cable:
    Properties:
    It acts like leaky fiber optic, distributing light to every blocks around it, the formula is ((amount_of_transparent_adjacent_sides-amount_of_connections)*5*(7-surrounding_light_level))%. It can also collect light at light level above 7
    Recipe:
    :Advanced Furnace::Refined Iron::Advanced Furnace:


    :Advanced Furnace: = glass
    :Refined Iron: = sand


    Uses: To light up room (why?? You can just use torches, there is unlimited energy in Minecraft, and the first thing that I think about this is to light up a room that is far away from any windows using sunlight), collect light


    Restriction cable
    Properties:
    Doesn't let light pass if there is redstone signal (light switch)


    Recipe:
    G R G --> 48 Restriction cables


    G=Glass block
    R=Redstone dust
    Uses: none


    Optic diode:
    Properties:
    Only let light pass one way


    Recipe:
    B B M
    O M G --> 1 Optic diode
    B B M


    M=Mirror
    G=Glass pane
    O=Optic cable
    B=Blank


    Uses: none


    Refrequencier:
    Properties:
    Change amplitude to frequency(like transformers, but for light)


    Recipe:
    A E A
    O M L --> 2 Refrequenciers


    A=Advanced Alloy
    E=Electronic circuit
    O=Optic cable
    L=Luminator
    M=Machine block


    Uses: none


    Optic generator
    Properties:
    Change light to electricity at any frequencies (wait, isn't this is just a solar panel? And if that can change light at any frequencies (wavelength), just use it for efficient solar panel instead. And this have the potential to be exploited for infinite power (put refraction cable in a room that is full of glowstone, connect it to optic generator and free energy))


    Recipe:
    T O C
    T G C --> 1 Optic Generator
    T W C


    T=Tin
    O=Optic cable
    G=Generator
    W=Water cell
    C=Insulated Copper Cable


    Uses: Generate EU from light


    Frequency receiver:


    Properties:
    Generate redstone signal when there is a light with the specified frequency


    Recipe:
    I C I
    C M C --> 1 Frequency receiver
    I R I


    I=Refined Iron
    C=Refraction cable
    M-Machine block
    R=Redstone



    Other recipes:


    Mirror recipe:


    T G B --> 1 Mirror


    T=Tin
    G=Glass pane
    B=Blank


    Optic Battery recipe:


    M D M
    D R D --> 4 Optic batteries
    M D M


    M=Mirror
    D=Optic diode
    R=Refraction cable


    (And for OP, usually when we are talking about light, we didn't talk about frequency anymore, we talk about wavelength (like 542 nm laser diode))

    *at GregTech tower*


    AI: Go to the bedrock level and insert me to a terminal


    Thepowdertoy: Wait, bedrock? I thought we will destroy GregT computer core


    AI: No. The repository is located below the bedrock level


    *Thepowdertoy inserts AI to terminal*
    *some bedrock disappear, revealing a tunnel*
    *intercepts a transmission*


    Thepowdertoy: Can you locate the sender?


    AI: Cannot. Go faster! I think in the code repository there is a small supercomputer and a superluminal communicator


    *plugs AI to another terminal*


    AI : Downloading and analyzing transmission.... Get it! It says he already get the spambots home universe! Anyway plant the nuke and we will use teleporter to teleport our way to the ship


    Thepowdertoy: Can you get to my bouncer network? Auth code scepter


    AI: Doing it... Connected!


    Thepowdertoy: Access Project Zangetsu classification level ultra top secret UUMATTER ALPHA DELTA CHARLIE 165345531561999999994638883141


    AI: That's one long name... O I see you have another ship that is 5 km in length


    Thepowdertoy: Send the coord to all the ships, including yours


    AI: Sending... There is another AI just connecting in the system! They are happy and responding
    *steps into the teleporter and teleported to the alien ship*
    *jump into coord*


    AI: Detecting a lot of spambots activities! External sensors overloaded


    Thepowdertoy: Prepare to fight!


    *Picks up T10a*

    How to (possibly) implement this:


    1. Make every machine in IC2 to be able to use UE


    2. Make another Enet API that implements Enet and add compatibility layer with UE, and let mod/addon dev decide what to use


    3. (worst) Change Enet API to add compatibility layer with UE, and make every mod/addon dev angry

    Thepowdertoy: Now tell me why you know spambots


    AI: Direct to the point, eh? Anyway, long before your planet was invaded by the spambots, we do. We called it The Great Spambot War.


    Thepowdertoy: How did it come?


    AI: We do not know. What we do know is it was searching for a code repository, a huge one.


    Thepowdertoy: Where is it?


    AI: In your planet, Minecraftia. Exiting slipspace...now
    *looks at Minecraftia*
    Thepowdertoy: What will happen if the spambots enter the code repository


    AI: The short version is, your planet as you know it, will be completely overrun by the spambots. Imagine the spambots getting force field that have the strength of the bedrock multiplied by 1000000000, yet it can absorb any energy, including projectile and use it to regenerate its field.


    Thepowdertoy: Where is it?


    AI: Let me remember.. Its below the GregTech tower. Unplug me from the computer and plug me to your quantum helmet and let me override your armor.


    Thepowdertoy: Do it.
    *steps to the teleporter and teleport to hangar*
    AI: Use this space fighter instead of your ancient shuttle


    Thepowdertoy: Wait... no. You said that you have a war with spambots? If then, we have a large probability that the spambots can detect thrusters emission and we will be busted. Power down this ship


    AI: Alright, powering down this ship. Now lets go

    1. Config option will be good in this, because this will enable server owners to enable/disable this feature
    2. Reinforced stone can stand up to creeper explosions

    Where am I??'
    *sees a big ship-like structure*
    After I use the fusion reactor explosion to jump away by slipspace, and now I don't have enough power to jump again. Let's explore that ship
    *docks on the ship*
    I just need to find this ship control room... and it seems the front part of this ship have a weird design..
    *arrived at the control center*
    Nice control room you have... and anyway this ship length is approximately 20 km.
    *press a button*
    A nice gui you have there.. it even have its own holographic screen and keyboard.. Let's type help here.. Wait, why there are two gun control systems? The other one have a particle cannon in front of it..


    >particle cannon gun control
    Manually activate ADF reactor in the reactor control room auth code plasma$#%@ put the storage device in the reactor control room
    >dump left dataorb
    Dumping to dataorb in the left slot... Complete
    >cfg teleportgrid reactor
    Teleportation grid configured.. Ready to teleport


    That's weird.. why I'm feel familiar with this computer system?
    *teleport to reactor room*
    *put the dataorb into the receptacle*
    *reactor and light powering up*
    I also notice something weird..why GregT data orb is compatible with this system? Maybe this is his ship..but the reactor mentions about ADF reactor, not Arcturas.. this is the old edition
    *teleport back into the control room*


    >particle cannon gun control
    Activate particle cannon? Y/N

    Firing control to the button


    *press the button, and the moon in front of the ship vaporized*
    Nice.......... Now let's see who build this ship


    >servicerecord
    This ship was produced in [REDACTED] by [REDACTED]. There is other 50 ships of this type produced, and all of them are connected through superluminal comm array


    This cannot be GregTech ship, this must be an old alien civilization ship...
    >slipspace
    Enter coord
    >dump left dataorb
    Coordinate info: Minecraftia, orbiting around Sun, with a natural satellite called Moon. Spambot invasion record: relatively recent
    press button to jump


    Now that's weird.. how this ship can know about spambots? now lets jump and research this ship further
    *press a button then jump*

    ALERT INTRUSION DETECTED AT FIREWALL SECTOR 7


    Thepowdertoy: AI, status


    AI: argggghhhhhh..... This is spambot talking. We are currently holding your ship under hostage. If you don't initiate slipspace drive and go to this coordinate, Minecraftia will be destroyed


    Thepowdertoy: Stop joking


    AI: WE ARE NOT JOKING!!!


    ALERT INTRUSION DETECTED AT FIREWALL SECTOR 9-6-7-88 AUTOSENTRY OVERRIDE CODE INITIATED RETARGETING CONTROL INIT TARGETING THEPOWDERTOY


    Thepowdertoy: Let me analyze this coord... Wait, isn't this GregT ship? What are you want to do


    AI: We want to .... NO! WE DIDN'T NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS! START DOING SLIPSPACE TRANSFER OR WE WILL SHOOT YOU


    Thepowdertoy: NEITHER ME! I DIDN'T WANT TO NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORIST EITHER!


    AI: DO IT OR I WILL SHOOT YOU!!!!!!!!!


    Thepowdertoy: No all caps please... I need to go to back first, checking the power coupling


    AI: do it


    WARNING UNAUTHORIZED SLIPSPACE TRANSFER IN 3..2..1 10 MINUTES TO SPEED


    AI: Now we will kill all the resistance members, starting from GregT


    *running to space shuttle and flying it outside*
    *All turret firing to me*
    *Going to GregT robot ship*


    Thepowdertoy: GregT, do you read? GregT, do you read? Your ship is in danger! I don't know how did he get the coordinate, but a spambot hijacks my ship that is equiped with slipspace drive, allowing it to go to another galaxy. And the spambot can talk


    Thepowdertoy: Now I just need to connect to bouncer network that controlled all my robot ship that create the project...
    To all people that can hear this, this is Thepowdertoy speaking. There is a spambot that controlled my ship, and I think its the new breed, the popup ads. The ship is very powerful, and do not get near it, I repeat, do not get near it. It have a fusion reactor that can explode at any time. I'm currently trying to get my ship back


    *back into the ship, then the ship enter the slipspace*

    Sorry because I don't make this clear enough, but that RRU ship didn't contain any scalar/force field/EMP/Covenant/futuristic tech, and because you will board the RRU, I'll just find another autonomous ship to hijack it... There is a project to create a extremely long ship, about 20 kilometers long, made from several hundred ships connected together, because making it from scratch will be take an extremely long time.. so I need to find a spambot controlled ship to hack the spambot so it can dock to other spambot ships, hack the guidance and propulsion system, and bring it to my ship, the Banhammer. And then I will connect all the fusion reactors with plasma conduit, and put several million ICBM that have been modified so it can work without the ballistic part, so it can operate in space, 10 plasma turret, several million cruise missile, railguns, laser and everything I need to destroy spambots


    At least I have give him alternative... and I also hate the dev decision to remove CASUC, because its so realistic and I also not flame him...

    So you want a CASUC? The only way to do it is by using minecraft 1.2.5 and IC2 version below 1.106, but if you really really want to modify the code, you can:
    1. Change nuclear reactor code inside IC2 to use old code, which have single use coolant
    2. Make an addon that implements IC2 reactor component API to cool the reactor and delete 1 item


    Or if you don't want to code, there always be new CASUC, which is:
    1. LZH condensator reactor, cooled by UU matter powered LZH condensator regeneration, link here: My working LZH-condensator reactor, results on efficiency, and effective power generation.
    2. Cooling cells reactor, cooled by constantly circulating cooling cells, which is then cooled in another reactor, link here: Decentralized Distribution of Steam (DDoS)


    And both of them can use existing bucket cooling system

    --Begin transmission--
    For Rock Raider, that RRU ship is yours, and because it have been hijacked by the spambots, I will hijack it back anyway and I will give it to you if you want it. Anyway, I have modified your shield EM weapon so it will function more efficiently, greatly reducing power and space requirement. Your EM weapon works by directly dumping massive amount of energy into the shield, and it will start to resonate and emit powerful EMP that will kill every spambots in the area. I know that the shield can amplify a signal to extreme power, however it was extremely stable and need a lot of power to destabillize the field, about several hundred TEU (tera-energy unit), or several million MFSU in parallel. However, we can make this more efficient by pulsing some EMP directed to the shield, and it will amplify it like laser do. It only need several thousand EU to work.
    For everyone, if you want some extremely high explosive, I can just go there, overload one of my reactor core and eject it, and it will make a very very powerful explosion that can vaporize nearly everything. Although I have some ICBM and cruise missile to do the work... (and there still some thousand spambots around my ship)
    --End transmission--

    *all laser turrets firing*
    Alert detected a ship on collision course with this ship
    Wait what? This cannot be true
    *start transmission*
    Thepowdertoy: This is Banhammer, do you read?


    *static*


    Thepowdertoy: Please change your course to 090, do you read?


    *static*


    Some random ship: kitchen kitchen kitchen


    This ain't good, we have a spambot controlled ship in collision course with this ship, wait what is that? I can barely see the writing on the ship... It says RRU something something.. Wait, is that the same ship that Rock Raider talked about?


    Thepowdertoy: This is Thepowdertoy, the owner of Banhammer. Raider, do you read?


    Raider: Yes. what do you want?


    Thepowdertoy: I need a full specification of your RRU ship, its weapon system, its propulsion system and your project to use the shield as an electromagnetic weapon


    Raider: It can only ram


    Thepowdertoy: NEVER EVER underestimate the power of ramming ship. It can easily create more damage than a nuke if it have enough mass and enough speed


    Raider: Uploading all the ship spec to your computer


    Thepowdertoy: Thanks now I just need to deal with this collision. AI, status


    AI: Collision imminent


    Thepowdertoy: Fusion reactor and air status?


    AI: Fusion reactor are running at 78%, air reserve is for several years


    Thepowdertoy: Override left dock safeties code Aghanim scepter


    AI:Left bay dock safeties offline

    Thepowdertoy: Overpressurize left bay dock to 20x atmospheric pressure and ready up left thrusters to full power


    AI: Done


    Thepowdertoy: Give me manual control and start counting down to collision


    Then when the enemy ship is approximately 10 meters away from the ship, I press the button that vent the overpressurized left dock door and start the left thrusters, pushing it into right, dodging the ship


    Thepowdertoy: How much time we have left?


    AI: Approximately 2-3 hours before the enemy ship have enough velocity to destroy this ship
