    ...but for me, the greatest reason for a #space program is all the warmongers who make things to kill people, can make things that uplift humanity, literally.

    All the war industry is space industry.

  4. Conversation on discord has me thinking about Traveller again. (Still?)

    More precisely, ship sizes. I definitely prefer a smaller ship universe. By MT battleships are 500-700k tons. But even mid CT after high guard things like the Azanti is 60k.

    But if we go back to where the Kinunir is a Cruiser at 1,200 tons, and a light mercenary cruiser is 800 tons, what size should we cap battleships and carriers?

  8. TTCombat's Bioficers fleet will arrive imminently. Corrupted AIs that outlived their creators, now harvesting civilisations for spare parts. Bodies in, drones out. I for one welcome our new flesh-weaving overlords. #ChatGPTerror #TTCombat #Wargaming #miniatures #scifi #space #starships #dropfleetCommander l.d20.ninja/bdvjxa6b

  9. While many of the scale models were historical, science fiction models were also represented.

    My partner was particularly taken with this Klingon Bird of Prey painted with Canada Goose colouring.

    The entry was titled, appropriately, “The Canada Goose: A Warrior’s Bird.”

  14. According to the baseline scenario, a total of four cargo 📦 #Starships and two crewed 👩‍🚀👨‍🚀 Starships with a payload capacity of 100 MT each are available until 📆 2029 to bring the required systems to Mars. A power🔋supply system (#PSS) is needed for all activities on Mars. It could be investigated if a refueling ⛽ in #Mars orbit 🌌 scenario would enable return flights. nature.com/articles/s41598-024

  15. The #ESA announced that #Airbus will design and build the landing platform for the ($1.3 billion 💰) #ExoMars mission.
    #SpaceX is aiming for the 📆 2026 launch window for #Mars 🔴 and certainly will be targeting one or more #Starships for late 📆 2028 arstechnica.com/space/2025/03/

    That’s a lot of Trek! I have watched it all as it came out with the exception of a few episodes in 1966 before the neighbour kid pushed me to try it in TOS season one. So, I am always impressed by younger newcomers who systematically binge to catch up.

    Understand your love of ‘The Magicians’. :packetcat_smile:

    I’d like to recommend however that you give ‘The Ark’ a try if you haven’t been already. Its second season finale just ran on Syfy US last week, and will be on Peacock as of this week. ‘The Ark’ is a Dean Devlin creation that appeals to a lot of Star Trek, Stargate and classic sci-fi television fans. Like 90s Star Trek, it’s getting better as it goes on. Hopefully, it will be renewed for more seasons.

    Outside the US, it’s available in many countries but across a diversity of services. Check out the hashtags below to see if you might have it.

    I am in the process of setting up a new group chat bot account for ‘The Ark’ that interested people in the fediverse will be able to follow.


    There’s also interest in a group rewatch/watch and discussion here. I’ll be setting up a schedule in a few weeks. Input will be welcome!

  17. CW: The Ark - satisfying S2 Finale makes the case for S3! It’s the Earth exodus show that just keeps getting better, avoiding the narrative pitfalls of its predecessors. Aspirational Sci-fi lives!

    @crcollins

    Glad you found this!

    Please keep the comments coming, with content warnings to cover spoilers as many are just finding this show.

    2 for 2 for The Ark in terms of landing seasonal arcs!

    While a show with a longer commitment might have drawn out the quest for a habitable colony planet for another season, bringing that story to a close after two seasons makes for a kind of resolution overall.

    Splitting the original crew, removing the main human antagonists one way or another, and introducing the question of alien civilizations in the final scene sets up the potential for a wider scope of interactions and exploration as the show hopefully moves forward to a third season.

    Wondering about what others thought of the introduction of some kind of virtual staging for Homebase 1.

    (Is there anyone who doesn’t think Homebase 1 is a tribute to Moonbase 1?)

    A few of us are looking to have a watch/rewatch party going soon. Look for a group bit account and a schedule to be announced soon.)

  19. I've been thinking about the Classic #TravellerRPG Type S Scout/Courier.

    A typical deck plan can be seen here : freelancetraveller.com/feature and from outside, it looks like this: canvastemple.com/index.php?mai

    Now there is a problem with this. Look at the deck plan. Look at the line of thrust.

    The walls should be floors!

    But there is a solution - and one found in the real world!

    Have a look at the RV Flip!

    youtu.be/tQxQfQU_hsk?si=nj7J8i

    So when in atmosphere or on the ground, the fittings could be rotated one way, and in space, under thrust, the other! No messing around with grav-plates!

  20. Traveller

    I may be weird, but I usually don’t worry variations from different ship design systems. As long as it’s legal in the system it was designed with, it’s good enough for me. I just chalk it up to deviations from different shipyards.

    So I’ll use anything from Classic Traveller to T5 to Cepheus. In the end the only real difference is a few MCr here or there.

  21. I lamented a lack of a master Traveller Starship Index.

    So I started working on one.

    Woefully incomplete. I haven’t even gotten through the classic adventures and supplements yet.

    Also uncertain if I should add any more essential columns.

  26. Picked up a few more books.....
    I really should stop and spend more time reading what I have, but I can't help it when I come across a deal like this 4 books for $5.00 (Which is really 5 books, one books is two in, just flip it upside down and read it backward.)

  30. "Thug Life" (#QuentinTarantino Does #StarTrek!)

    "At one level, this is a humorous spin on the idea of Quentin #Tarantino doing Star #Trek. At another level, it's a long tracking shot of three cool #Starships getting their groove on."
