Re: Seeking Clarification: Zero-G environments?

13. –- DROPPING – TOO CLOSE --- --- WARNING --- VELOCITY COMPENSATORS DISENGAGED --- --- BRACE FOR IMPACT --- An FSD smash was a cruel thing. One moment the asteroid layer was expanding to fill the canopy, making every muscle tense for collision. Then there was a brief pause and vision filled with t...

Re: Seeking Clarification: Zero-G environments?

Yup, a flexible packet would work best but I've already been talking about bottles in the novel. I'll try and come up with some suitable high-tech gizmo. In the meantime, I have a coriolis force question, especially if the smart Mr Gorf is still about! The wikipedia thing talks about spheres and a r...

Re: Extracts from Straylight0's logbook

Thanks, but be careful choosing your spirit animal! She is perilously close to psychological collapse at the moment; not just all the stresses outlined above, but she was in the great failure at 34 Pegasi and then spent several days in desperate diplomacy to stop the false-flag attacks igniting civi...

Re: Seeking Clarification: Zero-G environments?

It's like Star Wars that way... the blue glow around the letterbox is a forcefield that holds air in while allowing ships through. Suppose it's simpler than maintaining dozens of separate airlocks and vacuum interfaces on all the doors and hatches leading to the bay or repressurising hangars when pe...

Re: Extracts from Straylight0's logbook

(logbook extract from a few weeks ago. Bit rambling) The Abyss stares back I never believed in Hell until I went to war. Galnet would have you believe humanity isn’t in battle, that the fate of many systems is being decided by ballots, debates and budgets. In some lucky cases it is, but there are st...

Re: Extracts from Straylight0's logbook

Rescued Prisoner Statement Hi, a rescued prisoner wanted me to forward the below: I will not tell you my name or the system I am from, because there are millions like me still there. I cannot say what slavery is like in other parts of the Empire, but this I do know: my grandparents were slaves, my p...

Re: Extracts from Straylight0's logbook

Musing in witch-space Witch-space has changed. Anyone who says they understand hyperspace is lying, although not as much as someone who says they understand human nature.
