I'm not entirely sure what you mean comparing soft- and hard- sci-fi (what's the difference???)

Honestly, not certain how well I can explain it. But, I suppose in short, how close are we to adhering to the laws of physics?
What sorts of weapons are we using? What are our engagement ranges? Is it just WW2's Pacific theatre but in space?

Me sitting in Application purgatory

feel free to hop into IC with them, i'll put them in active characters once they're part of a crew

 

[Orchamut]

Still me just sweating because a bit of magic is the only thing keeping Kabo alive currently.

Okay.
Hey Orcha want another crewmember

I think Iwrax left the door open on her way in.

physics are overrated
just assume we have some sort of inertia in space and that there's a very thin permanent atmosphere of nitrogen and argon in space

think of it as dogfights with more steps, pretty much. similar engagement ranges with similar (but less effective) physics, and hull damage is more serious

also a lot of weapons probably wouldn't exist with normal physics, i'm mostly working off fictional stuff (obviously lol)

don't forget the plasma cannon

also i suggest saving those extra EP you got from Xylv
they'll be useful for implementing IC ugprades

Too late... but I realized a former space pirate ship would be better with a harpoon...

oof

 

[Orchamut]

Still room for one more person to get 7 more EP later on maybe.

i may perhaps join this ship yet

I mean
...I could have Iwrax eat Kabo

NO

KEEP THE KABO

Desperate times call for desperate measures...

alright guys
regarding the ongoing poll in teh IC thread, what are your votes and why?
i voted nov 25th because i want to get the beta done in a decent amount of time so i can implement new stuff
