Welcome. Your ships and scifi setting history kind of remind me of Macross.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you.
It is however, actually based on Forbidden Planet and Planet of Vampires in terms of story, and its aesthetic is actually a combination of Chriss Foss, Peter Elson, Gerry Anderson, Shoji Kawamori (There's the Macross influence), Kazutaka Miyatake (Macross, Crusher Joe, Orguss, Space Battleship Yamato), Leiji Matsumoto (Space Battleship Yamato, Captain Harlock, Danguard Ace, Galaxy Express 999), Jun Okuda (Studio Nue), and Yoshiyuki Tomino (Gundam).

Neat!
It's funny when I read the specs for your ships and such, it kind of reminds me of how Palladium fansites will spec or stat out something in them for conversions.
It's a weird observation, just something I noticed.
What is the biggest ship in your setting that isn't like a mobile spacestation or something?
Like it isn't a Death Star and such I mean.

That's odd.
My stat sheet is based on MegaTraveller's layout.
The biggest ships are not going to be posted yet.
As the Science Fiction novels come out I will post more ships, vehicles, and even characters (which I have started working on).
I'm up to book 5 in terms of having most of the ships and vehicles done.
The biggest Terran ship by book 5 is the Neo-Hebrew Titan class.

Neat!
As for why I was thinking stuff like Rifts and such, I think it's the speeds being in miles per hour or mach speeds.
What kind of acceleration are most of these ships capable of? Do you have numbers there?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do you mean Delta-V (Vector acceleration)?
I don't use it for my data sheet stats because in space you're generally trying to get from point-a to point-b in a set amount of time (speed) using a simple burst of thrust to accelerate to speed and then cruise at the set speed.
To calculate the accelerations of all these fighters, shuttles, ships, etc. just isn't worth it as a writing tool for the Science Fiction novels. I just need to know how much time it takes for each craft to go from A to B for time keeping purposes.
Change in velocity is not relevant since it cannot be done for any length of time without incurring some very nasty effects to the crew and ship as acceleration builds, which is why NASA and the US Air Force have stated that inertia-/acceleration-based gravity is not possible (in the book Pulling-G by Eric Seedhouse this is explained quite well), so a MacGuffin is required to simulate gravity.
I use a gravity-well generator called a Tesla-Schauberger gravitational control unit for that.
Once a ship can manipulate gravity acceleration is no longer relevant per se since a ship can stop on a proverbial dime or accelerate to its listed speed within seconds without fear of injuring the crew or damaging the ship.
Hope that helps answer your question.

You're welcome! Luvia is delicious as always.
She features in The El-Melloi Case Files as well, in Volume 1 and I believe will show up in Volume 3. Admittedly those take place in the main Fate timeline but little hints in Volume 1 show she's interested in people like heroes who are gallant and cook.
Sometimes I wonder for your stories how Luvia would've dealt with something like all those calories going to her bust but leaving the rest of her body as toned and trim as ever. 
You know considering Luvia has such an enhanced taste, it makes me wonder how she would react if somehow she got to taste Shirou...? 
Because I did notice Shirou seemed to enjoy her butt squashing into his groin.~

Well as delicious as that idea for an image that might be, it would be a lot less fun as a story because she would just enjoy that too much. I need to bully and humiliate Luvia, it's like my oxygen yo
Hmm, I don't have an aversion to 18+ stuff as such, but with the ending I had in mind for my Luvia one, I don't think that's particularly likely to happen, just a heads up. She'd definitely get addicted, though.
Thanks very much, I do still plan to finish the story one day!

Here is a delicious 18+ fun idea with Shirou & Luvia you might like: she could use her fat roles, or the space between her breasts and belly, and he could stick his dick in to rub against both.
Or maybe he can fuck in between her thighs or some other space she can close~ All that softness and skin of hers.
Or he can simply pound away between her breasts or pussybor somewhere else.
You might not use them but maybe it can give ideas.

Welcome!
Was relooking at that Outsider destroyer pic, and then looking at your other ship pics (the non Star Trek ones) and I started to wonder if the Outsider destroyer was from that setting with the Human Alliance and such.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not as such, though I'm not above reusing my own ideas. The Outsiders were originally developed for a Star Trek roleplaying campaign based very roughly on Trek prehistory and Sierra's Alien Legacy. The intent was to tie together the bevy of godlike aliens in TOS, why they disappeared by TNG, Doomsday Machines, and the various dead empires of Trek prehistory. Part of the plot would have included discovering some of the technology (or at least the inspiration) that would go into the Genesis Project.
The Outsiders themselves, though, are an idea I like so I'll probably use them again.

Regarding that Human Alliance setting, I forget but how does faster-than-light travel work in it?
And how many planets does the HA hold? And what kind of accelerations can warships get up in that setting?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
HA is reasonably hard-science outside of power generation and FTL propulsion (done by hand-waved 'transit,' which has fluid dynamic effects in order to justify having proper finned rocketships). STL propulsion is done via 'starsurfing' which, IIRC, is a mashup between an Orion or Daedalus and a M/AM drive (basically, continuous external detonation of about 50% annihilation efficiency reaction mass that impinges on a pusher plate on gimbals). Accelerations are limited to a = F/M, real-life materials science, and crew capability. Anything over 2G is an emergency load. Anything over 5G continuous isn't going to be manned. Torpedoes could probably pull 20 or 30G depending on their construction.

How does transit work? Any ideas there? Is it a real-space FTL or is it more some type of hyperdrive in that you punch into another dimension to go FTL?
If it is a real-space FTL drive, does it do something like modify the local speed of light around the ship, like within the drive field, to travel FTL?

From the notes:
“TRANSIT DRIVE” (TRANSIT INITIATOR)
The “Transit Drive” is more technically known as the Transit Initiator: the series of particle accelerators (at least three) that effectively break down the Transit Membrane and allows spatial passage into Transit space. This breakdown does happen all the time in nature, especially in high-energy areas such as around black holes and pulsars, but it usually only happens on microscopic scales at best. It takes a very specific set of conditions to generate a Transit Hole large enough for a ship to pass through.
What this breakdown is specifically is that the accelerated particles’ collision at their convergence point blow a hole in the membrane, basically pushing the Transit Medium back and letting a body dive into the vacuum lets it get sucked in. With a lot of velocity relative to the medium behind it, the ship can then push against the Transit Medium when it refills the void and regenerates the Transit Membrane “behind” it in the Transit-Normality Vector direction.
Transit Initiators (or “TIs,” “T-Drives,” “Trives,” “T-Initiators,” “Rippers”) are always computer-controlled since they require extremely accurate timing to both produce the Transit Hole and have the ship pass through before the Transit Hole collapses. Since it is a system—particle accelerators, targeting mechanisms, and firing/timing computer—there are many parts that can break down. Starships generally carry spares or sufficient onboard fabrication capability to at least jury-rig all of these components. Traveling without these precautions is an act of extreme desperation.

Very interesting! What kind of speeds past light is it capable of? Like how many light years can it go per hour or per day you would say?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The HA is noncontiguous (and is all about how even if you can cross the galaxy quickly, it's still a massive volume) so it's about 700 LY/day.

That is fast!
Is there FTL radio or is the quickest way to send information is to send it by ship?

Message torpedo/packet ship only.
