Seeing the ending of INF:A, that's not surprising...

Please note that Giove(Iuppiter)and Terra(Earth) aren't Woo's inventions. In SA:H the Gioviali(I want to write in my mother language,so?)were powerful. A jovian colony should be composed by space stations since the planet is almost inhabitable. A weakness.

Yup, no colony on Jupiter, but it does have moons...

Most names used in FS2 are Latin/Greek,similar to Italian ones.

Where are you from? Everyone here that isn't from America/Great Britain should specify his nationality in signatures,for example.

Well, yeah, Woo didn't invent the names, but if we have Earth and Jupiter colonies fighting, that still sounds about the same...

Earth is our planet,G..ehm,Iuppiter is the biggest one.possibly BR based his plot on this.

Did you forget that there are other planetoids beyond Nettuno(since Plutone isn't a planet anymore... :( )like Sedna and Quaoar? No one mentioned them for a Sol campaign(maybe because there aren't so much Sol campaigns...)

Actually I'm looking into areas at the edge of the system for INFA 2...

I'm using some of those in the Dreamcatcher story... you may see action as far out as Eris in the Scattered Disk! :yes:
No, that wasn't a spoiler. I am toying with the idea of basing some stuff out there though.

Sedna,Quaoar,Pluto....they're not planets but they are enough big to have installations.

Of course, this calls in the old "How far does an intrasystem jump go" argument. And please let's not start that. But I do wonder: is the Scattered Disk pushing it a little? :doubt:

If Inferno: Alliance is indeed a revamp of Sol: A History, I won't complain in the slightest. S:aH was fun, but lacking in some respects. Given the number of colonies S:aH posits, and the amount of resources in our home system (i.e. the asteroid belt, entirely impossible to truly control or blockade effectively), it should be more than easy to have a long, drawn out, bloddy intrasystem war among these colonies and Terra.

I didn't use one piece of S:AH so I wouldn't call it a revamp. They may have some similarities though.

I thought S:AH was just a little unrealistic, I mean, blowing up the moons of Mars? Well, if we've destroyed a few moons, then why don't we blow up a planet? And if we can do that......

5GT bombs do seem a bit excessive... (stupid harbingers). I mean come on, I did a calculation using harbingers, and found a fenris can take more pounding than Earth... WTF?

 
Kudos to the Fenris shipbuilders in that case.  :lol:

Well, the Harbinger was saved for planetary bombardment.... But if you mean blow up Earth like the Death Star, then that's something else.
