Hamsterman: The ex-admiral might just be posturing to get himself in a position of power to gain a leadership position in the Alliance. There are peo...
Mike Strong- This is a case of stalemate as they mentioned. The oldest Jung Colonies might be pretty industrialized themselves, this would require a...
1) As it is becoming more apparent that there are more worlds than just the once we know of in Sol Sector and the PC we might see him going into the g...
I don't think anyone wants to negotiate with the Jung except to negotiate their surrender. If the Alliance negotiates peace with the Jung it will be a...
I would say the easiest and safest thing would be to asses the situation and once there is some breathing space and the captured frigates and first ba...
They could always turn the Ghatazhak into the equivalent of Special Forces used to train new troops and crack hard targets. As bad as it sounds, there...
No tantrum, just an expression of the ultimate, all encompassing, irrefutable power of the author. That's fine but even an author has to introduce som...
The Jung are insanely driven to conquer all. Would they not send out spies to every possible sector on a continuous basis and be building continually ...
They may already have the Jump technology. Its only a fifty year sleep to get to the PC at 20light. And if they have the jump, they would stage from T...
The spy is easy. The whole Nash family. A very common name, Jung spies have been settled for generations, and Nash becomes captain because his captain...
I would agree that the “spy” (if any) has to be either Captain Poc or Captain Nash. That would make a lot of sense. Ryk seems to be setting up Rosel...
OK, then why did the Karuzara leave on a 27 light year trip to Kuiper Four Seven for 37 days after the battle? I believe it is because the asteroid ...
I was right!! Siggie can go bite his humble pie. Ryk you rock 10 stars for #12Exactly what were you right about?
Siggie, it’s also a matter of experience. Nathan and Cam have fought jump-ship battles, the 8 senior EDF officers have not. Kinda of like giving Lee o...
As for the 3 Scout Captains. 2 were Senior to Nathan.. Nathan promoted the other.. Senior to him in an organization that no longer exists. Making them...
@ siggie every fact you find is taken out of context to support your view Just because it doesn't support your position doesn't mean its out of con...
This is an argument against fixed position bases. Most of the examples mentioned in the thread regarding the bonuses of having an asteroid base may ne...
facts be damned Exactly which facts are we talking about that would negate my comments? It seems to me it is you who ignores some of the most importa...
Siggy, you actually did research? Stunned. And that statement was quite some time ago in a system that repaired the Aurora very quickly even though ...
@ david the Wallach was kkv’ed in orbit of corinair, the campaglia was the initial capital ship that was impaled with the auroura if you recall in he...
you have totally missed everything written in the books. Such as? you want a base, karuzara is a base, not for mining, but it contains the major com...
Siggie What makes you think putting emitters on an asteroid, then jumping it is wasteful? Of all the SF series I have read, it is one of the best wa...
and what you have been missing the asteroid can be jumped with the newer zped drives from darvano to the fringe. Yes, and wouldn't it be better to ...
this above quote siggie shows you haven’t read the books or what people are posting to refute your off the wall thoughts. THEY DO NOT NEED TO FIND AN ...
@siggie you think to much, there has been a system found for karuzara or the yamaro bases. I wont spoil your fun reading to find where and when it w...
Since this thread is slowing down somewhat, I thought maybe I would present an “off the wall” possibility of what’s in the Darvano System. The Auror...
Siggie, This entire series has spanned 6 months maybe more. What your suggesting would take a decade or more. You keep saying that an asteroid is at h...
A permanent base can’t flee WHEN not IF it gets discovered. An asteroid can easily do that. And asteroid cannot expand indefinitely, whereas a perma...
Let’s not forget the 16 functional 402s (Falcons, hope the pilots come up with a really cool squadron patch) Loki and Josh did some really good recon ...
Siggie, we understand all of your points and you are right. No one denies that long term, a large base with ample repair and refit facilities is the w...
