@Melanie, I doubt that earth has been devastated. I think it was pushed enough to loose much of its industrial capacity, but not to the brink of apoca...
FYI I am using a css addon for chrome and this worked quite well for me: p + div.et_quote { margin-top:27px } It worked even better with #posts p,...
According to Ryk, Aurora designed like a ~Kinder egg, you got the massive layered armor on the outside, with the actual ship on the inside i.e. a self...
The idea of a jump capable suit made me wonder what other uses there might be for a jump drive if it was possible to be able to make very small jump d...
Dispute away! Biggest problem is hitting the target at all, but also, the problem with high speed projectiles, is that they usually just penetrate the...
As for other books, I loved “the lost fleet” series from Jack Campbell, especially since similar to Ryk he tries to keep the tactics true as we would ...
If BV-01/02 were to simply be destroyed, they would not need a artist sketch, and since he did take the time and funds to get that second sketch, I do...
Did everyone notice Ryk put six Defender class ship patches up on here? So the discussion about 4 or 6 Defender-class ships has been settled by the M...
@Apoc, you are right. Not sure what this 'class three' (probably better than anything on earth), but it put us back on track for auxiliary ship! which...
Another smaller based would make sense (*searching* its actually called the 'Yamaro base' in EP7). With this and Ryk ~practically endorsing it above, ...
Nash fan club sign me in :). Although I have to admit that I am a bit disappointed, that with all the love her article received no love at all and is ...
I hate how the quotes dry fucking the text after them. If possible to update the forum css code, please add a little margin-top to the quote class.
I don’t see the Yamaro being fixed. The list of things that still work on the Yamaro is the fabricators, power plants, life support, crew accommodatio...
I am not sure what you guys are arguing about, but going back to the last page. IMHO the idea that Karuzara will pop in Sol as a mobile asteroid bas...
Was my description of them as 'parasites' too strong or just no one cares about the Jung perspective? Because from what I recall they are not just c...
"It is just that recently the 3D printers have got to the point that we can miniaturize them for home use, and they are affordable enough that some pe...
To be honest the only revolutionary thing about '3D printers' is the underlying concept of additive manufacturing, other than that they are mostly toy...
Hi Ryk, Any chance you can add a summary of whats gone before to the start of each book. The series is now up to 11 books, and unless I keep re-readin...
Nah. A chapter or two at most. I have no patience for oppressors. There are too many of them in RL, I don’t want to read their justifications in my...
Looks good, although the passing light effect is a bit excessive, way way way too dense. Kind of a cool video. I like the sets, they looked modern ...
A better concept would be to jump in a device at an angle to the target and have it jump away as it makes contact with the target, in much the same wa...
iirc Jump drive transitions between two points, ignoring shields but not things with big mass in its way. While FTL could't do either. So the extra en...
New stuff on the concept art page: Nice concepts. Btw I can't but notice that the good guys are in blue, and the bad in red 😉 ---- I have a lot o...
Could also be that the curved nature of the Explorer class, makes shells that hit less likely to do as much damage with railguns, but missiles explode...
Been thinking about that one. How about this attack. Start 10 light minutes out. Fire all light speed weapons. Yes, this first batch will be weak ...
Oh bozhe moi! you turned this into tech support thing.. Obviously the audio file at Mixcloud isn't corrupted, because it works for everyone else, and ...
We don't need to go as far as completely automated miningproduction operations, regardless you have to realize that 'jump drive' + 'fabricators' combi...
Worked fine for me with a similar setup, maybe try the direct link to the hosting site
[...] you start to realize that when you consider everything that IS onboard it’s surprising that she isn’t bigger. Thanks for the overview of Aurora...
