Elite: Dangerous PvE - Mobius

16. Commodore Thule paused inside the door of the security compound, and allowed herself a sigh. She had examined herself in the mirror before leaving her office. Grey hair neatly combed and bound, uniform clean and straight, boots and buttons nicely but not excessively polished, spine perfectly ali...

Oops can't believe I didn't subscribe this topic... and that's an embarassing grammar mistake alright... ! I was originally going to ask Code if they wanted to co-operate and appear as themselves, but that went by the wayside. Current plan is to do nasty things to a thinly disguised version of a pro...

15. The bodyguard heaved Debra further into the conference room and kicked the door closed behind him. ‘You’re hurting me!’ Debra clawed ineffectually at the man’s hand where it sank into her shoulder. ‘Let me go! You can’t hold me!’ ‘Evidence to the contrary, dear,’ said Tara. She looked almost hap...

Memo to self: try and write more story for Dan. Im afraid I just started him off as a newcomer character to introduce us to Arjanna and the squad, I was originally going to phase him out as a viewpoint character, but I can’t abandon him like that now... gotta find him something to do... 14. Karlon s...

That's cool, you seem to have the zero-g thing down pat and you can pull of the difficult job of making space combat more than a list of manouvres and actions! Spotted one little type, think if was off of or of off or something. Did wonder a bit what kind of ship the Castenadas were flying before we...

Talking about the fairground ride here? Think you're right, you would only feel the force of the thing you were sitting on, although that would be angled in towards the centre of the roundabout. If it's like that enclosed rotating room I was in once, it's when you actually move yourself instead of s...

Like the Coriolis force on Earth, the effect of that is too smallfor us to feel--only becomes important for things like the sniping over titanic distances. In everyday life, we do not feel a force pulling us right in the northern hemisphere, or at least I don't. Likewise, the curvature of a ship or ...

PS Pretty sure it's not like being in an aeroplane or a cruise ship, at least when they are moving in a straight line--everything is different when you're in something that is rotating, which is why this Coriolis stuff is so hard. Relativity says there is no such thing as absolute motion, you can ne...

Actually I think the guy who jumped and the ball would both move at least slightly, because as they moved up their distance from the centre of rotation would change but they would keep the same "sideways" part of their velocity. Or maybe it would simply turn under them? I think I'll make A...

[Do like the idea of "bottle" meaning squeezies by the way] [puts hands to head and concentrates] You are in a cylindrical space station You are facing the end that is rotating clockwise with reference to an outside observer (always comforts me that rotation is absolute) You start walking ...
