Re: Alpha Centauri B b

Man, science is the best.

I've always wondered about binary systems. How close (or far) do the stars orbit from each other?

Also, how long before scientists start giving planets crazy sci-fi names instead of...well..."b"?

Re: Hello...

I remember that, it was by Kris Straub as a spinoff of Starslip. I know Starslip ended fairly recently, but I don't think he ever went back to that comic. Unfortunate, it's actually how I discovered Outsider (and a few other comics, actually).

Re: What would YOU pick - (un)official Kickstarter thread

Saw this in a /tg/ thread, thought I'd bring it to the attention of our resident kickers. Affording something like this is a long way off for me, but it's still pretty freakin' cool. http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/formlabs/form-1-an-affordable-professional-3d-printer EDIT: The tiers have a big ...

Re: What was recovered from the wreck of the Bellarmine

Actually, they might have brought movies and books and other such sundries just to show off human culture, too--say, for example, if they made contact and were then cut off from returning to Earth for the next few years for whatever reason. New allies will want to know stuff about you!

Re: Outsider IRC channel

Well no time like the present--

I honestly have never done anything in IRC. Is there a favorite, trusted client? If so, do I need to do anything other than download/install?

Mr. Cain, as I recall, always made do with a laspistol. The bolt pistol on the covers was Imperium propaganda. Also, if Alex...

Re: sci-fi creative writting tips?
