Re: Seeking Clarification: Zero-G environments?

Would be dead complex like most weather I think! If you just had an unpowered station with no movement or temp differential for years, think the air would finally wind up stationary. Just realised I've been getting something else worng: been having people swig from bottles in zero-g, and don't think...

Re: Seeking Clarification: Zero-G environments?

Ooops, my bad on that one :) Although the air inside a station would probably wind up rotating along with the station, given enough time. Thanks for the wikipedia link. When I'm more awake I'll try getting my head around it. There was a wonderful bit in Iain M Banks "Consider Phlebas" when...

Re: Seeking Clarification: Zero-G environments?

What would it feel like to walk around the inside wall of a zero-g rotating cylinder through (we'll leave the sawn-off corners of the Coriolis stations for later). Would you feel like something was turning you sideways, and in what direction? Would it matter if you were walking around the circumfere...

Re: Something to Remember Me By: A not-so-brief history of Boxcar and Red

Hee Hee. My brain is above its operating temperature!

You certainly have the raw talent for fiction, everything else can come with practice I reckon, although it can be a bit of a grind!

Re: Something to Remember Me By: A not-so-brief history of Boxcar and Red

Damn good work! Did you have an earlier piece on the main game forums that mentions Red's undercarriage by any chance...? Did you say you were a writing student? I did an MA at Northumbria a few years ago, had enormous trouble slipping anything genre-based by them :( Mind you, this has enough charac...

Re: The Dark Wheel

Didn't mention crystals, but it's interesting!

All a bit academic to me if I can't visit the system in question. There are weird threads in the main forum where people write in code...

Re: Story from a nobody

I like it! Especially original background for the pilot! Know what Flip means about the dialogue though, but it really doesn't have to be much to break up a paragraph, something like I approached the station without anyone giving me so much as a quick glance. When a shifty man appeared to collect th...

Re: Seeking Clarification: Zero-G environments?

Hi and thanks for the plug! So far as it goes, I'm taking my cue from Elite:Reclamation which I read and enjoyed. Ships spend a fair amount of time in rotating stations that simulate at least microgravity, or landed on planets which have the real thing; so they have to be arranged to cope. Besides, ...

Re: The Dark Wheel

Erm... could I ask for a little background?

I think I have gathered that Shnrarta Dezra and the Founder's world are the same thing, and only accessible to Elite pilots and the early backers of the game. Are the Pilot's Federation and Dark Wheel minor factions in that area, and/or player groups?

Re: ... than to arrive (crack at a serial novella)

12. Minister Straughn was having a bad day at work. That is to say, he was at work, or at least the serious part. The Planetary Assembly did not have a huge amount of power or influence; the representatives of the Federation, Empire, and Peraybyssos Corporation were far more important. It did not ha...
