absalom: given natures dislike of vacuums and the ensuing propensity for rapid dispersion, colored gasses would probably work just fine, especially combined with MASSIVE spotlights and laser shows.

zak: not saying older people can't be competent and skilled, was not even talking about age we are talking about experience, and how the people in power quite often disregard the experience of the ones on the front lines(this is often older people in chair jobs and younger on the front lines when it...

fred: that 'more experience' thing has always confused me, i know that's what happens but it's such a load of bullshit, seniority? sure, but age does not make someone wise nor skilled, those come from experience and learning the right lessons from it, and at this time there is not a single human tha...

ice: as i said, they would catch the ball before total collapse, just saying it would probably be a very rough transition, remember the wall street crash of 29? fear and panic can cause tremendous amounts of damage to society. and no, being stranded alone is nowhere near as bad as solitary confineme...

on a similar note, solitary confinement! that shit will eff you up quickly and i speak from experience here. you might think 'hey, i spend most my time on the net anyway! and people are annoying! me? i like being alone!' yeah that's what i thought, but there is that confinement bit which buggers tha...

on female warriors why yes, there still is a 'reason' not to have them as fighters at least in a lower tech setting, same reason why females are not quite as wanted in the workforce in most of the jobs around here today, that being getting pregnant and being unavailable/less effective for quite a fe...

about sots2 according to legend paradox clearly stated 'take your time and get a finished product from the start, no worries we will float you' at which point kerberos rushed the job like bloody hell confusing the shit out of the paradox guys.

according to legend.

paradox games tend to be kinda special, i personally like a few of them, others.... not so much, for instance cant stand crusader kings cause the combination of family dating sim thingy and serious conquest just rubs me wrong.

edit: yes, gonna get it and try it, probably gonna love it.

mallet: imperfect combustion could leave a 'trail' it would not be there for long, would disperse rather quickly and not be visually identical to contrails, but as I said, not ENTIRELY stupid, and if 'a visual thing does not follow physics perfectly' is the worst you can say....well it probably isn'...

mallet: they spun up ceres and dug out the station inside, so 'rotating sections' is not entirely wrong, the sections in question are just attached to a rotating asteroid.

and 'contrails' in space are not entirely stupid as long as reaction drives are used...just mostly stupid, but visually pleasing.

red: actually imho honorverse is kinda age of sail in space, but the fact remains that there is damn near zero terrain to make use of in space, a open field battle has more opportunity for 'tactics' there at least is 'earth' to work with, outmaneuvering...yeah, due to shorter deployment times on the...

already got the preorder in, but upvoted on the greenlight anyway.

red: Problem with tactics in space is there aren't really that much to it since there is very little terrain to make use of(which is were tactics really comes in), pretty much the whole thing is get real sneaky(and do things that could go wrong spectacularly) or keep your fleet clustered for larger ...

Joe: I do believe you are underestimating the value of terran infrastructure on logistics, our food is incompatible with theirs? whoopity do! that can be worked around rather quickly given modern agriculture a workforce and a place to do it(human space got both) fuel, again can be rather quickly con...

system shock 2, the only game ever to creep the *bleep* out of me, 'nuf said.
first half of the game is brilliant, the latter half....not so much, due mostly to technical limitations to be honest since the 3d of the era simply could not do bio gunk well.

verdict.
cautiously optimistic.

yasuki: 1: not so much behind as to the side, it seems the umiak are trying to outflank/englobe the loroi and cut them of from expansion and humanity would be a good way to avoid this from a pure logistics stand point. 2: this is a issue, yes, but the umiak have shown great reluctance to use anyone ...

actually timed jumps could very well work, crude yes, but by jumping parts of the fleet depending on how much of the fleet and interval it could be used to send a message... but I am guessing three instances at most and depending on when you put the 'main push' you could send a message....it's only ...

fred: that just might actually need more than 10mbit, however when the bloody hell do you need THAT on a mobile device? and if you intend to use such insane bandwidths you just might go a little parallel with multiple streams instead. overall I personally do not like streaming, I do understand the a...

or just VERY many links....if just about every led light everywhere was a 'link' the coverage would be a lot better....and is a possible solution to the bandwidth usage problem.... this way WOULD lower the bandwidth something enormously but it should work since when the bloody hell did you really ne...

absalom: on minimum wage, if you take that back further i wonder when it would start going the other way... my guess would be past the 1900 mark....well i was wrong, if for no other reason than there being no minimum wage law before 1912, albeit only for women and children, for a equal law we have t...
