See you space samurai... A Space Opera

@vietmyke Like, given the size of a galaxy, could there be entire like, star empires with thousands of stars that just, havent been noticed or noticed the empire, especially pre-ftl star empires.

See you space samurai... A Space Opera

out of curiosity..how dense is the empire? like, how big is a sector? do they use like, self replicating clone ships to colonize? or some other method (like aura-created colonies or something)

regardless, thinking of making a bound space daimon on the run from those who would slay or worse, use them for dark ends.

Thinking of making some flavor of space wizard, maybe an AI or possibly someone very very cyborged. or enigmatic alien. choices

Hard Sci-fi Crime/Military

@PerfectThought

Solar sails are interesting, though I think might be less useful the farther you get from a star, though im honestly not an expert on such things, and Im not sure how much thrust you get out of it.

Theres also a type of proposed engine called the "Medusa Drive" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_pulse_p… Which is like a solar sail but you throw (low yeild) nukes in its direction. its a bit more complicated than that, but its a pretty promising hard scifi design.

As for FTL drives, I think something like dune would be a fun way to do it, especially the depiction in the new movie, where it is unclear if the ship moved or is simply two places at once

Hmmm, not quite sure yet. Thinking possibly solarsail ship or something along those lines with like some system of "hyperspace" only accesible by Dune style "hyperspacd" carriers. Still all quite up in the air. Any specicic suggestions?

@PerfectThought

oh dune style sounds fun, Ill be down to talk more tommorow, now I need sleep.

Definitely agree with you, I find it has more opportunities for crreative/interesting tech ideas. I was thinking a basic framework would be a hard sci-fi equivalent to starwars, with the main storyline being focused upon a slightly shady freelance freight ship and her crew!

@PerfectThought

Huh interesting, we talking a torchship? a relativistic ship? or like..we using wormholes or something

The dark ball- who will be successor?

Thinking of making a character, an agent of sorts, working on behalf of a foreign power, just deciding who they are working for, kinda variations of one idea that im not sure what to pick.

A. working on the behalf of Fae enchanters beneath the earth, seeking to expand their political influence, and ensure good relations with whoever rules. but is also opening to marrying.
B.From a great city far away, mainly to gather information about rivals and potential allies, owns a bit of land to make them technically eligible as a suitor.
C.something to do with the moon.

I do like me some hard scifi, though I tend to lean on farther future, to open the possibility for more genetic adaptations for different environments etc

Might have some interest depending on tech-level/options, do like space horror. also will all characters be marines? or will insurectionists also be available, perhaps captured. or things like, space workers who got grounded
