    Never wrote an empire building story but have you thought about the jump-3 ship misjumping and forcing Novak to a distant primitive human colony under attack by aliens or something to pressure her into building an empire quickly to rebuild the jump-3 so she can return her crew home? And saving...

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

    Hmm I can’t quite wrap my head around the dton concept, I know it’s displacement ton but what displacement and how does it correlate to actual weight?

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

    What? What does this mean? Do you mean to says it's impossible for a covert attempt at stealing it? How? Like I'm genuinely curious as to how you came to that conclusion. Yes? So the deal won't happen period no matter how much the Vilani begs. Also yeah the black box may not need replacement...

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

    It doesnt matter if its done covertly or not its still possible and if its possible then the Terrans wont go for it I dont get your reasoning, like have you considered this from the perspective of the Terrans? The Emperor himself personally orders soldiers to guarantee safety, but you know...

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

    There is no way the Vilani/consulate faction will be able to protect the consulate from all covert attempts to sneak in and steal it. Remember the defenders have to get lucky everytime while the enemies only needs to be lucky once, and the vilani Emperor is not a monolith he cant just declare...

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

    I highly doubt that unless a significant Terran presence exists because any consulate with the FTL comm is going to target number 1 for the Vilani, in fact not only the Vilani but the multiple Vilani factions would want it for themselves to gain an immense advantage. Also other foreign powers...

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

    To be fair Dr Saunders is a genius like he's the best in hyperspace physics and the only one that can come close is McAndrews who wrote the foundation for the jump drive in the first place, it's not that hard to see him standing on Novak's work to find a new breakthrough it's how science works...

    What is the Empress Wave?

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

    Come on cliff I know you want to do it, call it the Enterprise do it dooooooo it! In other news I agree that the confederacy can’t face Vilani battleships but they don’t have to do like in canon they can use their jump-3 to bypass and hit their logistics, without which capitals are especially...

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

    I like this end goal idea of yours and if that expands to the rest of the Imperial space because remember Terra isn’t the only lone world being gobbled up by the Vilani then it would be a worthy end boss to tackle

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

    The black box whiteout issue was solved here? Also bear in mind I'm not a battle tech expert but the clan chatternet exists so it's definitely possible, mind you right now the Confederacy is tiny compared to the Clan worlds so it could be even cheaper

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

    Thanks for the update and I really like that someone else got the KF theory, it’s always interesting to see that the setting is also moving about instead of only the protagonist. I do have to disagree that jump 3 is bigger than the black box because well it’s FTL comm faster than even jump 9...

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

    I'm not a battle tech expert but from what I know there is a primitive jump drive at 15 light years or 6 parsecs but that's even more bulky and expensive, better to go with the refined version that has all the kinks worked out

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

    YES YES YES, hell yes my favourite fanfic is back, did a full reread and cannot wait for more. I cannot wait until she breaks out the jump 9/KF and draw up plans for olympus like recharge station that would break everythimg EVEN MOAR. also the basic Battletech war machines like PAL, Battle...
