victor: given that B5 has been the gold standard that no other scifi show has come even close to since but the expanse is at least playing on the same play field. on the original request. lost in space(heard some good things about it) westworld(fascinating idea, saw a few episodes should probably wa...

red: It is the low point of her career and I would say it is basically a split arc, the first being how everything goes to hell and the second the rather up slope battle to claw herself out of hell.

Somewhat better with time, yes. to be honest though, the first Honor book is one of the weakest books he has written and does not stand well on it's own imho, but as back story to a series it works well enough. The 'perfect soldier' can be a bit annoying but after a while it is shown there actually ...

"Only while riding on badly driven vehicles."

well, given his 17 IQ stat he is literally a Genius, university level Engineering course which mere mortals complete in four years, this guy? a single semester.... yes he is scary smart, skipping a few grades? piece of cake.

Dragoon: just chiming in on the strength thing, humans are most assuredly not the strongest on earth pound for pound, even given similar body shapes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfDxg0pJAX4 <--- orangutans are silly strong with enough grip strength to actually crush your tibia(lower leg bone) si...

my guess is towards the sound of the guns, seems like the loroi way.... which will be annoying for our heroes.

A warrior child of Clan A is taken in a raid by Clan B, and raised in Clan B where no one really paid any attention to where she came from. She rises to prominence and eventually leads Clan B in an attack on Clan A, and destroys them. A survivor recognizes her telepathic signature and informs her t...

no real scale to check, but a guesstimate from me based on the system and that jump points tend to the outer part of the system would be 1 hour minimum, probably closer to 3, but it depends wildly on how large the star in question is, as in brown dwarf would be a matter of light minutes from a jump ...

damn, necroing a bit here, but still. dahak: are you seriously saying that 3x3m rooms are that uncommon where you live? damn, where would that be, hobbitville? dwarfhome? overkill engine: electrolaser is a interesting idea, and really useful for high tech stunguns too, but electro zaps strong enough...

dex: climate change is a thing, it is happening, and it is man made.... how bad is it? that I am not so sure about but not good is a pretty safe assumption though, and yes plants love co2, since oxygen is basically an inedible byproduct for them, humans and most animals however do not like more than...

nuclear winter is extremely overhyped, why? dunno, but it is. where do i get the balls to call something so commonly accepted bullshit? simple math, physics and history. #1 energy, mount tambor(the volcanic eruption that caused the previously mentioned year without summer) chugged out a rough estima...

the plane the US military needs is a cold hard look at the F-16 and see how can we make this better while retaining ease of use and maintenance, then mass produce the shit out of it again, so the military actually can have enough flipping planes to be all the places it needs to be at the same time. ...

dahak: golly g, the first ever produced gyrojet had some issues, shocking, what it did was prove that it was POSSIBLE. and it's actually 22.5m3 which means 3x3x2.5 which is rather confined according to most definitions.... would actually be difficult as bloody hell to reload the damn thing if it was...

tamri&dahak: http://www.tactical-life.com/gear/carl- ... -launcher/ another example of recoiless rifle used in confined space... and if you want to scale it down.... gyrojet actually works.

Arioch: just like the japanese it was mostly the 'protect the home' thing, but the difference in social expectation changes things a lot, norse mothers were the owners of the home, the ones carrying the keys, there are a few stories of what happens when you fucked with them, sometimes it was VERY bl...

you messed with a viking(technically old norse or a few other ethnic groups, but people just bunch'em up with the raiders, outcastes and pretty much criminals of the era and geography, because they are awesome and get lots of hollywood time) woman at your own peril. to go back to beryls reaction, i'...

krulle: mass effect -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_Effect and expanse -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Expanse_(TV_series) and i enjoyed the books it is based on. on some reasonably good read, there was a former memeber around here called starfyre that wrote a decent story a tad bit over ...

being an adult, so much things that encroach on gaming time.... on more games i'd like to see, a non-bugged-to-shit stardrive game would be awesome, prolly not gonna happen though. a sequel to fallout: new vegas... because fallout 4 is so almost great it's painful. something that actually might be u...

jupiter incident....yeah, that one was nice. for me, mechwarrior 5 mercs would be awesome....oh right, they actually ARE making that. http://www.mw5mercs.com/ hmm, something i'd like to see but not actually getting.... Starwars KOTOR 3 would be awe....oh right, that's The old republic....yeah, alrea...
