@Hans Ruopp: By definition, dynasty simply refers to the situation where rule is kept in the family, such as by passing power to their son or daughter...

After reading the comments on here here’s my two cents. One I don’t think it’s as easy as you think it is to stop a ship in ftl. The fact the Aurora...

The Star Trek fan in me thinks… NO WAY!!! She has access to his med file & phyc file…. not sure that Nathan would do that. Nathan always seems ...

It wouldn't be unreasonable for the first wave or so to be cheaper, unshielded Jung ships. However, if that was the case, then someone on the Aurora s...

I’m thinking that BV01 and 02 were not technically “lost” without firing a shot. I’m thinking that they my be out there beyond the Oort Cloud being us...

Bischof has an excellent point about that class of fighter. However, I'm also inclined to think that several hundred of them is rather optimistic/exce...

I've noticed at least one case where it should probably be "Celestia" but is "Celestial".

Is it bad that I already finished it? I tried to pace myself but I ended up blowing through 96 percent of the book yesterday, and finished the last fe...

With the escape of the Jung general toward Alpha Centauri, it may be a problem later. I think he will contact the current Jung reinforcements on the ...

I think were saying the same thing.<br> If you approach a Jung Battle platform from 200,000 kilometers out, by the time you get close enough to ...

I would imagine it would work well if each book was considered an arc. Given the books are each around 200-300 pages long, I would imagine each book w...

Up until 1941 battleships were considered the pinnacle of naval power. Between the sinking of the Bismark and Pearl Harbor naval doctrine got rewrote,...

True enough Hamsterman. It can be difficult to think faster than you can type at those speeds as well.

I've got the same build and I have no issues logging in, then again I use the "remember me" feature, I don't generally log in much. That being said, I...

There's probably some nodding going on between series, but it seems to me that the idea of what a haven is, simply makes it a rather good choice for n...

@Eric: Now I'm curious about Ryk's typing speed. Perhaps someone should create a topic for listing typing speeds. Another thing to consider is that so...

I'm inclined to side with Eric on this one. It also seems like a taste of the next book would just make one want to read the next book even more. That...

I agree with Nuclearman – “It seems like a bad idea to get near a battle platform.” Long distance, or attrition, seem like the best tactics. Anythin...

It seems like a bad idea to get near a battle platform. Probably better to just use FTL (comm) drones on it, especially if it's just sitting in orbit....

The issue with those type approaches is predictability on both sides, the solution in both cases is to add randomness. The aurora should be jumping so...

Nuclearman: I would think only N (or 2N) drones + 1 drone server would be needed in an N way conversation. There would be a central fixed point to co...

It seems like they would have to know much more about how the jump drive actually works to have any chance of doing better than jump drones. That bein...

@hamsterman and @wolfman That's exactly the kind of solution(s) I was thinking of when I said point-to-point. It doesn't actually travel through norm...

I may have glassed over it on accident, but in response to what Nuclearman said about the two possibilities of the jump weapons: I believe it was Vla...

@Nuclearman<br> I am really looking forward to learning more about the Jung, as I stated like the way Mr Brown seems to be heading. As am I. ...

I think Mike Shepherd solved the problem of high-G accel in his Kris Longknife novels by introducing gravity couches his characters use during manouve...

One other factor you’re not considering is that the Aurora cannot jump through something. To do so would be the same as trying to plow your way throug...

@Luka: It seems like a lot of the info about the Jung currently available is second-hand or worst. The Jung don't seem to care much about talking abou...

One question: Why does the Aurora stand and shot at incoming missiles? Why not let them get close, then jump a few thousand meters past them? Let th...

It seems like you really mean to say "75 books in the Frontier's Saga universe", or whatever you've call it call your universe.
