Bashing Xcano is completely uncalled for. He might have been, as some put it, a "downplayer", but he was still a staff member.

Technically she does, yes. The show had a moment of authors not knowing how strong their characters are by having her fly to another galaxy in a few months and then saying that gems cant go ftlAssaltwaffle said:

We were probably wrong on that one, considering the show itself directly contradicts it. I think that's why we removed it.Assaltwaffle said:
She logically should, but they'll probably pull some "she was found on the way by a scout ship" or some other shit.

@Weekly
If she has MFTL+ flight speed, is the feat really worth calc'ing?

Lapis mftl+ speed was removed due to a moment of authors not knowing how fast they actually made her

I honestly have no issue with giving her MFTL+ flight speed again

Watched the scene here (around 10:00 iirc), there's close to nothing to calculate tho.

Is it confirmed that she flew to another galaxy under her own flying power?WeeklyBattles said:

Isn't that an author intent argument? These are highly frowned upon here. The same logic can be used to downgrade Freeza to large-planet level, for example.

She flew from earth to homeworld, which is at least in another solar system, in a few months. Even lowballong it by having her fly to something like the zoo would mean she crossed 70+ lightyears in a few months

They are made of light, so ignoring that would be ignoring one of the fundamentals physiology of the gems; also, at the time, there's only one feat, and has little context behind it (she could have been intercepted for example). If the problem becomes more frecuently, then we should do something.

She literaly flew off planet from the ground in a few secondsAntoniofer said:

Doesn't she technically need to only fly to the nearest Galaxy Warp which will take her to Homeworld? There's no telling how far that could be.

There's also the feat of the five Rubies searching every planet in the solar system in the a few days while looking for jasper

The safest bet for a lowball would be her flying to the zoo, which is 70+ lightyears awayDamage3245 said:

That's Sub-Relativistic+ to Relativistic at best.

We should ignore that then, shouldn't we? DCAU Flash used "all his speed" to pull off a Relativictic feat, then ran FTL later. We accepted him as FTL.

I'm missing something? I see nothing after dissapearing from the sight. What minute is that?

Near the very end of the episode, she pulls the barn out of the ground and flies away with it, leaving the planet entirely in a few secondsAntoniofer said:

I see no reason why we shouldntAssaltwaffle said:
- 9,978

So is that part, around the 10 min? Cus dissapearing from the sight =/= leaving the planet. If any maybe crossing the 5 km (human sight range iirc) in that timeframe.

Also even if Steven's durability does scale, the reasoning needs to change. He is still High 6-A for the tower collapse, not directly surviving Lapis. Wasn't a new thread needed for that?

Oh yeah lol, forgot about this. So are we readding Lapis' flight speed or no?

And are we getting a mass/energy for alexandrite?

The Star GBE issue drew pretty much all my attention. Sad thing is it's still going, and won't be done for literally weeks, since we apparently MUST have DT present to proceed with anything.

I saw, im sorry its taking so long to go through...
I really just wanted to get this done before me and Azzy revised the SCP verse

No, it isn't I am informing Weekly why I haven't gotten around to trying to calc Alexandrite's mass energy.

Oh, missread that then (should give some input later).
Anyway, the changes here has been applied, there's a Supersonic calc for Lapis (not accepted yet), but maybe you would like to calculate that one from Rising the Farm; but notice that only cuz Lapis disappeared from the sight, doesn't means that she is far away from Earth.
I wouldn't support the mass-energy convertion thingy, but at this point I don't care, so that is up to you.

Hey, you said it was 5 kilometers right? Can we just use that distance and the timeframe given to find the speed?
- 9,978
- 2,015
Guess it could work, unless the value for human sight is different and/or it vary depending of an object size is another.
- 61,177
- 14,747
A rough estimate puts it at around mach 3
