Seems like Corinair needs a medal.

Note that typical Walking speed is about 3.7 billionths of the speed of light. @richardh Also Richard, it's not near infinite just largely impractica...

The issue with tactical advantages #3 can be resolved using antimatter warheads rather than nuclear warheads. Antimatter mines sounds a lot like my su...

I'm not sure the book would work as an MMO at least not for a while yet. As an MMO there needs to be room for thousands of characters, while the book ...

You can just make an account here and watch this page perhaps. But that takes the fun out of making a python script especially when it probab...

I went with the Digital Mercenary package on Aug 1st, 2013, but my current computer isn't good enough to play it well (was getting 20-40 frames/sec in...

I had always imagined that the antimatter was stored in containment capsules (referred to in the series as “cores”). Each reactor has numerous cores, ...

As a fan of Firefly and Babylon 5: Crusade (Damn you, FOX!), I’m all in favour for a TV series set in the Frontiers Saga Universe. Note that I say “se...

The thing is – if Nathan beats the Jung in the first part, what will Ryk write about in Parts 2 to 5? Whatever the conclusion of this first part wil...

I recently went through Christopher Nuttall's new book, First Strike which I would recommend. I'm hoping it's the first book in a series as there seem...

I had the incorrect basis for this post. Please delete.

I suspect there probably is a fair bit of room for compressing the novels to able to make movies out of them without too much loss of detail. Though t...

I'd like to see a prequel on that as well, though I think it would be best to wait until an appropriate time in the storyline when it really needed. M...

@mordin: 3D pirates would definitely be an issue. Most of the stuff that can be 3D printed today wouldn't be very hard to reverse engineer a print* (o...

Whether it would need propellant (fuel is used for the ship's powerplant) at all is a good question indeed, but perhaps for another reason. I'll let t...

@soders: You could probably download the file and then transfer it via USB to your ereader, assuming you can access the internet there. I know this wo...

@davidj: Interestingly enough, it would only take at least 500 megajoules to get a BB up to 0.01c. @will91: The speed of light has been measured with...

@swordedge: Here is a railgun update for you, article link. Video from article below. Official Navy Article. <iframe width="560" height="315" src=...

All this talk of TOT attacks is reminding me of missile pods and missile carriers from David Weber's Honorverse along with a couple other series. Basi...

Ironically, I came across an Amazon authors forum post asking about how Kindle unlimited works. I was going to give my best guess but someone already ...

@waynedcam: That probably happened though, I doubt they would have jump tech. It was an accidental discovery caused by a specific approach to making b...

Only problem with jumping the asteroid base to Sol is that it’s a huge target (all be jumpable one). The OAP & Kar Jourag both show how easily st...

@Davud Ecjark: Acceleration conversion isn't much different. 1 gravity ~ 10 meters/second^2 ~ 30 feet/second^2. Basically shift the decimal place left...

@apocnebs I read the article that blue goo is great. Ok guys the earth was just about out of the dark ages how would they have the cleanup for all th...

That seems to be what is implied but perhaps not the same variant. IE: F-15A vs F-15D. It might be good to review the section where the Falcon is firs...

Nooooo!!!! I’m only on the second book and didn’t know that Jalea died!!! How dare you?!?! It's a bad idea to be browsing the forums when you want to...

@Hans Ruopp: Simply because they steal the best tech doesn't mean there isn't some tech transfer in the other direction. One way to do that would be t...

@Hans Ruopp: “The Jung have shipyards all over the sector. Very few of the ships built in the Jung home system venture far from their port. (Kindle Lo...
