  1. Forging Ahead (GURPS Interstellar Wars/Celestial Forge)

    The point is that it's not actually possible. This means that Terra will never actual trust the Vilani to stick to their deal. In such a case of course they wouldn't agree to the deal, but that's a very different argument than what you were making before.

  2. Forging Ahead (GURPS Interstellar Wars/Celestial Forge)

    There is no way anyone could still it covertly - it's a BattleTech Device that requires basically no maintainence to keep working for a century. You can drop it in a pit and fill it with concrete - as long as the data cable is long enough to stick out it won't affect the operation. Anyone...

  3. Forging Ahead (GURPS Interstellar Wars/Celestial Forge)

    Target to what? Remember we're talking about the Villani inviting the Terrans in order to get the use of the FTL com, the consulate would be protected by the Vilani empire. And? A few dozen stations providing links from the various regional capitals and the imperial capital would be enough to...

  4. Forging Ahead (GURPS Interstellar Wars/Celestial Forge)

    Not nearly as much as you may thing, or as there used to be. They'd be just as leery if someone with credentials showed up to provide them with the solution. The normal process is approximately like this: 1)Scientists develop a possible solution, test it in their lab and are pretty sure it...

  5. Forging Ahead (GURPS Interstellar Wars/Celestial Forge)

    Yes, and? I stand by my previous statement. There might be cases where that's superior but for strategic movement it's decidedly inferior than BT jumpdrives which can go ~9.2 parsecs a jump. And that's before starting to count hot charging, Lithium-Fusion Batteries, charging stations, pirate...

  6. Forging Ahead (GURPS Interstellar Wars/Celestial Forge)

    Assuming you meant 55 kiloJouls per second, i.e 55kilowatts, and assuming it's efficent enough that you can use it for something other than a bomb(55kW in a 5cm diameter iron sphere means it goes from room temp to liquid in around 6 seconds, that's explosive disassembly of anything around it)...

  7. Forging Ahead (GURPS Interstellar Wars/Celestial Forge)

    HURRAY!!! Glad to see this alive and especially glad to read you're going to try and continue it - Sophia's thoughts after completing the quest made it sound like you were preparing to wrap up the story just to give it some sort of ending. Really? I wonder why they consider a super genius...

  8. Catgirl Isekai Gone Wrong

    Very nice chapter, glad to see the mother survived. So were things not as gone as the mother believed, or did something else answer? Thanks for the rec, while people ignoring the MC and dismissing her and her desires/concerns because she's young and female is certainly realistic, it's not...

  9. Reality Intrudes [Worm/Matrix AU]

    Nice chapter, I liked Piggot's POV, although I find it interesting that she didn't even react to being informed that Armsmaster, after challenging an unknown cape, attacked the cape without warning or identifying himself. While I wouldn't expect her to admit it publicly, the fact Armsmaster gave...

  10. Tanya’s Hogwarts Adventures (Youjo Senki, Harry Potter)

    That seems like the least likely explanation of all his available options.

  11. Tanya’s Hogwarts Adventures (Youjo Senki, Harry Potter)

    I misspoke - I wonder if there was a war with Trench warfare and either aircraft or magical aerial attacks for Tanya to have participated in 1926. Not sure about the Rif war or the Latin America conflicts, but neither the Russian civil war or china's wars at the time involved trench warfare.

  12. Tanya’s Hogwarts Adventures (Youjo Senki, Harry Potter)

    Great chapter, and great job showing the "moral" dilemmas of an evil Dumbledore, and a realistically evil Dumbledore I wonder if there was was a war in 1926 for Tanya to have participated in? Dumbledore seems to be assuming it was simple reincarnation and that she was a normal witch in her...

  13. Tanya’s Hogwarts Adventures (Youjo Senki, Harry Potter)

    That's assuming the language she was speaking was close enough to HP world's German to be mutually comprehensible, and that Tanya was shouting comprehensible sentences while literally frothing at the mouth. I don't think either of those is a safe bet, both together pretty much guarantee no one...

  14. Tanya’s Hogwarts Adventures (Youjo Senki, Harry Potter)

    Any serious discussion on that runs into rule 8, but I disagree.

  15. Tanya’s Hogwarts Adventures (Youjo Senki, Harry Potter)

    She is. Her job is to enforce the laws and stop those breaking them, possibly also protect people as best she can within those constraints. Her job is NOT to stop the elected government from engaging in poorly thought out policies that risk people's lives. Amelia is the head of law enforcement...
