It's been too long since I read the stuff to go into detail, but my complaints boil down to authorial failure. 1) The Abh are stated to be genetically customized for space. Yay. Why is it that they seem to be the only ones? This is supposed to be how many thousands of years in the future? Most of hu...

The simple answer to your question is "Don't have them be Mass Drivers." Have them be something else. New tech, different tech, whatever, so long as it gets the job done. If they simply must be Mass Drivers for some reason, then make something up. Maybe the enemy they expect to fight use highly armo...

What? How? I have seen only couple of episodes so I have no idea what you are talking about. Many of the episodes of the first and second doctors' runs are believed to be permanently lost. Way back when the show started they only kept the original prints around for a little while before destroying ...

Hot damn! Looks like our boy might be about to hit the diplomatic bigtime! The good ensign is moving up in the world, for sure.

So in both cases you stick relatively near to the surface, which makes your ships detectable. Not to mention that ships entering orbit would be unbelievably easy to detect. Hell, something as small as the space shuttle launching kills everything for miles around from the damn vibrations. Can you im...

Hey guys, just posting to let everyone know I'm still in this, I've just got no idea what to post about! Sorry I didn't catch your edit bunnyboy, would have responded to that. Would anyone who knows the system be willing to take over GM duties? I don't think we can count on The Unforsaken coming back.

It will if The Unforsaken ever decides to post again. My understanding was that he was supposed to post and take us to the next scene, but It's been like a week.

I guess he was really busy this weekend. Too bad that we didn't get to see what happens.

Daingen kinda reminds me of the Battlestars. I've always thought they were a pretty interesting ship design.

Darius looked up at the sound of Maiannon's voice. Maiannon, you're not dead! And you brought friends! Well, things certainly are looking up. I was just about to ask for volunteers. I've got a good lead on a factory that could have most of the materials we'll need for the passenger section. Darius' ...

I noticed Maiannon failed to mention the good Doctor. And that's sad. I will post whenever you guys get back to the hideout.

oh god what have I done But serously So it'd be safe to assume, for the purpose of the story, that any technology not related to space flight or space ships in some manner (which have all been covered rather thoroughly in Insider and other threads) that humans don't posses much more technologically ...

You want open space? Fuck your open spaces, this ain't no yacht. That's room you could be using to hold a bigger reactor, more hull plating, or (my personal favorite) guns. Lot's of guns. Stargate: the great race: (roughly quoted) With you auxiliary Ox tank you should be able to hold up until rescu...

Soooo.... is Gudo going to post or should we move on?

Flying bricks can be awesome so long as you remember to cover every surface that's not an engine exhaust with weapons. Laser turrets, missle banks, ECM equipment, a fucking ram, doesn't matter. Just so long as it looks like it was designed by someone who said, "I'm going to make a ship that can do t...

Say Arioch, what's the view on transhumanism in the future? Do people try to do crazy shit like make human eyes see more of the EM spectrum, or make ourselves more tolerant of gasses (for example carbon dioxide vis a vis alligator genes like in Kim Stanley Robinson's Mars books)? Or maybe get impla...

They would all laugh until we crash land on their capital

A yo ho ho, it's a space pirates life for me!

I'm sorry. I'll stop now.

Okay, fine. I see your point there. Say Arioch, what's the view on transhumanism in the future? Do people try to do crazy shit like make human eyes see more of the EM spectrum, or make ourselves more tolerant of gasses (for example carbon dioxide vis a vis alligator genes like in Kim Stanley Robinso...

Really, anything that gets people to stop having boring unfunny arguments over physics that this thread isn't even supposed to be about anyway . Seriously please, stop getting butthurt over physics or people calling your ideas unrealistic. Go have internet slap fight somewhere else. Thank you. You ...

Okaaaay.... sooo... Let's talk about pets, from the future! What new and interesting variations of traditional pets, or entirely new pets, do you think the next hundred years, space exploration, and the advanced technology that comes with those things will bring us? I'm hoping for cybernetic hamster...
