Well I think the reporting should have done more to show the context in which these comments were being made.


Anyway.

I guess yeah, just, in context with the FS universe, even if they are in rare battle groups there seems to have been well. An explosion of new ship designs.

I just have trouble reconciling the high military spending that would require with the shambles of the Terran economy. A new destroyer? good, probably necessary. TWO new destroyer designs? How on earth did Terran command sell that to the security council? Ditto for corvettes. Someone in the planning department had a little bit to much coffee I think

On the other hand, I positively love the introduction of logistics ships. <---- Major making of sense right there

Ditto for ships you know, actually retreating rather then sitting there and eating bombs, although it is disappointing to not make things go 'boom' quite as often, it's excellent from a realism standpoint.

The GTVA is super paranoid about the Shivans and had to come up with some ways of fighting them. If you remember the Procyon Insurgency, one of the reasons behind the rebellion's rise was due to massive military spending instead of on what really mattered to the population. Something similar probably happened in the BP universe in the form of the mini-brush wars mentioned in the fiction.

here's how they sold it

****ing SHIVANS! ****ing EIGHTY! ****! ****!

whatever the GTVA did to get these projects funded, you can bet it was pretty blunt, and it probably did not help the economy as a whole. but there were bigger things to worry about.

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

No. They even stole an Arcadia in Operation Templar.

No, there is no canonical Vasudan installation. Another proof of ridiculous Zod hateness.

The Karnak is a good fanon GW-era Zod installation though.

It's a SW-like feature that was missing in FreeSpace. I for one liked to see something like the Karnak.
