A mans that draws space doges and their shenanigans

Also doing some stuff with @l5resident on his setting on @TheLunarWar

@Theodore1jensen @gahhnie Yeah that’ll work for the most part

[Lives at YML 6 @skull_b0nes]

@Kevinhalse @Theodore1jensen @gahhnie That is, horrifically inefficient usage of fissile resources, especially considering you could just use them as a direct countermeasure to incoming missiles instead ala Casaba Howitzer.

@Theodore1jensen @gahhnie That engine heat starts getting real hard real quick to mimic with chemical flares the more capable a drive is.

Still doable, just stops being mass efficient pretty quickly

@ZoldenGames Will the importance of rivers as a clean source of water and rapid transport for trade and travel be taken into account?

@IHateMyXHandle @AndrewHard96304 A series that I think really got the tone of warfare constrained by high energy orbital physics down perfectly is the Human Reach series by John J Lumpkin. The actual stories for the most part follow a spy/thriller kinda feel, but the combat described is the best I've encountered

@AkhavS @SpaceKoala You’re right! Moon should absolutely be eaten first.

@Staladus “Ai uprising this” “Ai uprising that” is this the Ai uprising I’m supposed to be afraid of?

@mike_doscher Can’t wait

@AllbonesJones Just wait until you learn about how silicon chips work

@vanlaukaus What are the levels of thrust you could expect outa this bad boy?

[Rex Thundercock @rexthundercock]

I want to ramble about a hypothetical timeline of the colonization of Mars, and how I think it will be playing out, or should play out in the best case.

This will make several assumptions for both simplicity and as an educated guess.

@Mr_BenPrime to obviously need much higher proportional amounts of fuel to get you anywhere and you’ll probably need to stage the craft (such as Daedalus!), but with antimatter you can afford the mass budget to allow for extra amenities.

[Lives at YML 6 @skull_b0nes]

@Mr_BenPrime propulsion can bump you up to higher percentages of c (such as .5+ in comparison to fusion’s .03), allowing for ships to be more readily crewed. Obviously this still leads to the issue of logistics and cost, along with design. With lower end equipment you’re going 2/3

@apachebeamix Are the modifications illegal due the potential of things flying off or the extra volume being used for weapons?

@CommanderFox505 I’m the captain (unfortunate), and I am the only one with nukes (they are the only thing I can keep that husk *thing* away from me)
