Sorry, was a little pre-occupied with my occupation. And tax(return)s 'round the corner
In short, not much time for me in march.

I do agree with Yandere's sentiment that words not wording workingly do be a problem this time of year.

Scratch that, place your bets on polymarket.

Looks like I'll be working on memorial day weekend. And no, this does not mean place any bets on polymarket.

due to a typo on my part I was nearly convinced I owed the IRS nearly $3000 in excess taxes this year.

Bio
-There will be delays in replies. Largely due to working overtime, voluntary obligations; other RPs and online-things may compete for my attention.
'Bout me:
Started RPing (badly) back in '05, mostly doing nation-RPs with an emphasis on technology and strategy, later edging out to character-espionage and military-tactics before doing "less serious" character roleplays that were outside of the 2005-2008 continuity.
That's when I went to Dead-Frontier, and found the RP community there, joined a clan, did some pretty good roleplays and pretty much loosened-up my online-personality. When the clan-leader decided to move her RPs here, most of the clan followed.
Took a course in technical-writing back in '08, so now I may sometimes use the semicolon correctly.
In 2010 I dusted off the old nation-RP continuity I had, doing a few hetelia-esque RP-shenanigans there..
RP-Habbits: I tend to geek-out on little technical-details, and sometimes infer how those details would impact the background of the roleplay. Great for world-building, not so great when you had a perfectly good plotline and I just MacGyver it off the rails (though I usually er to the side of amusement, sometimes it creates very grim side-stories).

Brovo said This is the basic setup for Empire. If we're lucky, he'll take Crimea and be done with it, snuggling up to his warm water port.If not, well... Anyone got a nuclear bunker for me to chill in, by chance?
Incidentally, these are the sorts of moments the BSA unwittingly trains for.

^Good starting point for hard sci-fi.
Onboard a ship trying to accelerate, 'down' is usually going to be towards the rear of the ship. Making the USS Enterprise a case of Space is not an oceon, stop using naval terminology in something that is more akin to dogfightiong a pair of X-15s and F-104s in ballistic traectories
After that, it really depends on whether you want Asimov/Clarke/Heinlein-style hardness, or some Trek-Warsie-Whovian fandom-aspects.
The vast size of space = Long engagement distances = It'll take several seconds for that keel-burning laser to reach you = plenty of time to do random jinking and hope they fry their own heatsinks first.
BTW: In Ender's Game... that ice-belt trick was mostly because in the book, back in battle-school, they used to work with battle-cubes ['stars']... the way you describe it sounds more like the primitive 'over tha top' tactic the old Salamander commander used. In the book, Ender's tactics got... a bit more !physics... (like deploying wires/becoming trapeeze-artists to change trajectories by using the orbital-masses of their own ships, aerobraking, and shooting the sun's corona for an epic air-gravity-assist, early-on, he learned to 'land' on a cube, but soon found it better to just vault from cube to cube at exponential velocities... a 'toon consisted of 40 students...)
In short, the way Ender fought in the book was less 'cover' and more 'Trapeeze-artists in a pitch-black tent with machine-guns, flashlights, and meatshields'.
-VERY FEW of his 'battles' lasted longer than three minutes and had the tempo of room-clearing/CQB.
*Which is why the admirals loved him. Because he and a bunch of launchies could outright murder their well-seasoned and best tacticians in about the time it took to finish reading this post.
Anyways, the ultimate deciding factor is how long you've got before you:
1. Loss of sensors (Cannot 'see') / Out of ammunition/laser-coolant (cannot shoot) / out of propellant (cannot 'move')
2. Start flying a predictable trajectory (Now easy to hit)
3. Deploy radiators (loss of armor-protection)
4. Loss of radiators/Saturation of heat-sink (there is one final way to dispose of heat... venting... but once you lose stuff to vent... well.. you'll either fry or decide you can afford to vent something else)
Damage-control teams can work miracles over time, but once you reach stage 4, life aboard the ship is usually pretty hostile to those guys.
Nuclear reactor meltdowns are unlikely, you can nearly always scram the reactor. Or eject it, followed by pulverizing it to sub-critical masses.
-But you may be so hard-up, that you're venting breathing-air to maintain a habitable crew-temprature. And if you've ejected the core, it's pretty much game-over until someone loans you a new one.

Hello im interested in a few plots but cant really decide :/ if it interests yiu you can pm me. The soldier x civilian one may be more realistic considering im in the armed forces
If it falls-through I've got a Chinese tank-squadron (Type 62-I) ready to roll.
-That, or some post-Prokhorovka 25th Tank-Brigade remenants (3 T-34-76, 12 T-70, 1 Su-122 [based on T-34 hull]).

Oh now I see it. That was when the sisters met Blake and got into a catfight (honestly no pun intended)
May have been intended by the staff...
Lol, bow, goes great with your (tries to think of something) Pajamas! (completely misses the bodily-features, and that she really isn't dressed for sleep) meanwhile Ruby's eye-cover looks like cat-ears.
-Gotta lookout for them ninja-stealth-puns.
Also, being a faunus, Blake could still read in the dark.
This may sound a bit odd, but I think Yang is evil. Or to be put very bluntly, does not wish to become a huntress for the same motives as her younger sister.
-Trailer-spoilers. Also, Weiss's musical performance is being used as rave-music.
Jett Ryu said
Well Pyrrha did say he had an unusually strong Aura. Wouldn't surprise me.I had a thought a while ago: if the humans of Remnant were created from Dust, did something-- or some-- create them? And where did the Faunus come from? What connection do they have with the Grimm?
Hush, you.
We both know, that if we ever guess a plot-element correctly, and any of Monty's minions see this, he'll just work another triple-overtime and re-write the whole thing or die trying.
And if Monty dies, the whole series dies.
Do you want the series to die? No. So stop guessing.

I've gotta say your examples are so interesting it's making me want to attempt it.
The Glorious Potato-gun-propelled airplane demands it.
This gun, is not as recoilless as its name suggests

I'm sure that it's not just me who wants Tucker to randomly appear once and go "Bow-chicka-bow-wow" and say that he's like Superman. XD
Cardin.
Cardin will say it.
-And then call dibbs on Pyrrha's bronze armor.
BTW: I have mentioned that Tucker is wearing Agent Florida's Teal Freelancer-armor, with all its augmentations, right?
That, or just a funny background moment.
