It's HERE !!
What about intel? Battles / wars have been won based on which side had better intel. A classic example is Midway in WW II. Captn. Roselle is now in co...
Given that some of Capt. Scott's and Admiral Dumas's tech people have been at war for decades. Hardware without software is useless. The PC I'm using ...
Re-read some of Casmir's dinner conversions with his daughter and Yanni. They have been completely thru the data ark. Which is or soon will be going b...
YES!! I know what I'm doing tomorrow.
A quick question. How many times each day do you check to see if episode 13 is here? I'm guilty of two to three. (even on Sundays)
Hmmm. Does that mean Tanna will remain, or does Ryk’s comment imply something like that the star for Tanna will be removed after the Jung counter-att...
Are you proposing turning the arms into combat ships? Exactly, they already have thrusters, re-use those. Add a ZPED, jump drive, control systems, and...
I like the idea of re-cycling BP arms. WRT rail-guns, isn't the velocity limited by rail length? If so, take two BP arms weld them together and insta...
Sumomech Participant @sumomech I think the biggest problem for the Alliance is the Battle platforms as there are more than a dozen in service. Tw...
On a different tangent. As more planets join the Alliance at some point there is going to have to be an Alliance HQ. Given the now regular runs betwee...
A couple of thoughts. How big is the main bay or more importantly the tunnel on Karuzara base? The reason I ask, after destroying two 20 kilometer wid...
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...
Actually Dumar is the perfect choice. He has never had any contact with the Jung, so can not possibly be a Jung operative. Has decades of military exp...
Just started Chapter 2 :-), don't think I'll get many chores done today.
Show of hands. How many check here and Amazon daily? (raises hand)
You explained it well. Every object creates a gravity well, the more massive the object the deeper and larger the gravity well. The black hole in "the...
A thought on 402s. They had to pull out the FTL gear to make room for the jump drive. 402s have two reactors. If you pull both reactors and replace wi...
Why not create a Robbie. Remember the classic film "Forbidden Planet". ".....simple alcohol and fusel oils. Would 60 gallons be sufficient?"
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 ...
How many years did the Karuzar use that asteroid as a base, even though they were being actively hunted. They managed to stay hidden. I think the Taka...
Re-read chapter 5 of Born of the Ashes. Commander Dumar "Only to the extent needed to sufficiently reduce her mass......" Why would they be worried ab...
Which would be listed as "MIA presumed destroyed" in the fleet records. Of course Tug knows different. He can send a capital ship, without getting int...
Greg (pappy) Boyington flew with the AVG before the start of WW II, to do so he had to resign from the US military.
As I struggle with trying to settle into a routine that balances ‘quality of life’ with a ‘successful business’, I have been thinking about how I writ...
Can you think of anyone else who will, 100% of the time, hit the self-destruct button if called upon, other than the Ghatazhak? Think of it as cheap i...
With the production capacity of the Takarans, they should be cranking out jump conversion kits for shuttles and other small crafts, consisting of emit...
With a little fine tuning of the ZPED / jump drive, 30 light years per hour should be easy, meaning the Aurora can be anywhere in the fringe in less t...
The Jung may well have thousands of ships and hundreds of capital ships, however they at best have 50 to 100 fuel depots. Nathan knows all too well wh...
Assuming that we manage to get useful data from the Jung memory cores. I think the first targets would be shipyards, take away their ability to build ...
