    Humans when its time to go to war with aliens:
    "That's absolutely absurd and I won't hear it any further! The Normandy isn't a satisfactory design for a standard warship, clearly we should build the Enterprise."
    "Aww, I wanted the Battlestar Galactica."
    "I thought the Infinity would be a good one myself..."
    "Guys, were talking about an interstellar war with races that have thiusands of years of technological advancement on us, this whole discussion is ridiculous...clearly Star Destroyers are the best bet, they even have theme music."

      as long as our ground forces are Astartes, Mechs from Battletech, and Emperor Class Titans....and the Marines have to at least reference Chesty Puller.....ie: have Chesty Puller Class Marine Expeditionary units where its a task force that just so happens to be entirely under the marine corp and all the ships can provide orbital close air support like space spectre gunships....so basically 40k the shit out of it

      The truth is, everything is categorized in some ways - it's just, for most people, they take what was assigned to an object at face value and never bother to question the how, the why, or the what of the label and it's potential to be only partially relevant, or perhaps entirely misleading.

      no? it was meant to be kelvin. the entire point of that section of story is talking about extremophiles. having your body boil at -243C is extreme. also, plenty of compounds boil at those temperature, like hydrogen or helium.

    Third party STLs and 3d printed minis of preexisting mechs directly undercut the company's profits. The fact that the company won't produce their own is silly, yes, but their attempt to prevent third party sources from doing it is readily understandable. Just because the player base doesn't have a problem with it doesn't mean it hasn't been a problem for the company.

    • @JadeBilkey
      @JadeBilkey 8 місяців тому +1

      Quite right. Most of the online scifi community waffles on precise space language. My biggest pet peeve is how many stories call every star system a "solar system" even when they call humanity's home system Sol so often they should really connect the dots.
      I guess "star system" just sounds a bit old fashioned and Asimov-esque but it bugs me.

    • @mordechai-
      @mordechai- 8 місяців тому

      @@mordechai- I usually have it under control, but first me it is scale. First the scale of interplanetary and interstellar ships given what we know. The closest I have seen to getting that scale right is the ships in Warframe, but they fail on the crew scale; though that is for gameplay.
      The other is scale of population on planets. Even Asmiov’s Trantor is woefully small in that regard. An entire planet essentially turned in a giant building would be sparse at the level of population he cited as crowded. IIRC he originally put it at about 600 per square mile. For reference, NYC is approximately 30k per square mile. It has been a while but I think later he used a figure an order of magnitude higher. But that wouldn’t come close to NYC even.
