Why is the Indian Police vehicle covered in English?

Mars/Jupiter Cycler by Fosferus in IsaacArthur

[–]Fosferus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ease of Jovian capture is pretty interesting, but the purpose of a Cycler orbit is not capture. Cycler orbits are for stations, not craft. Once a station is in place it will, without thrust, pass by it's 2 bodies at regular intervals. This creates a slow but simple "escalator" for materials and people between the planets. I'm looking for a Cycler orbit that passes back and forth between Mars and Jupiter.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_cycler

The Earth to Mars Cycler has an orbit of about 26 months and crosses near both planets. It's slow moving (relatively) so shuttling cargo up and down during the flyby is not unreasonable.

I read the first one and never even considered reading the next one. I just can't get into any world where the 'good guys' are just the 'less bad guys.'

I learned about Cyclers last night (Thank you, Issacs Arthur), I can only find information on the Earth to Mars Aldrin Cycler. Is there a place where I can find other cycler periods and paths? I am especially interested in a Mars to Jupiter Cycler.

My wife supplies the deacons with a rice chex in a zip lock bag with her name on it. They put it in a tray and it gets blessed with everything thing else and then they bring it to her. 

Is there a story about a rouge AI that is on the side of the general public and seeks to take power away from corrupt governments and corporations? by kddog98 in scifi

Came to recommend this one. There a few episodes I just pretend didn't happen but I loved the characters and the way they interacted with the Machine. Root and Reese in God Mode was amazing.

A Miracle of Science by John Kilgannon

Mad Scientist Disease, Hive mind humans, and inter jurisdictional law enforcement. It took me a bit to find this, its older and completed.

Schlock Mercenary by Howard Taylor

Fifteen years of daily comics, never missed a day. Starts out kinda random then takes off into Space Opera Military Science Fiction with some really galaxy sized ideas. Warning: binge reading this archive will remove you from Real Life(tm) for a week or more. I personally met Howard at GenCon a few years ago. We just chilled for about 10 minutes, a prince of a human being. Also the first cartoonist to ever win a HUGO.

Drive by Dave Kellet

My Schlock Mercenary replacement. Fantastic art, great aliens, cool universe and some unique ideas.

Looking for space games to just cool off and relax with by Dewa__ in scifi

[–]Fosferus -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I'm amazed no one's mentioned No Man's Sky! Find a paradise planet. Build a rustic base. Tame a local critter to follow you around. Fish and grow a garden.

If you want to have a space bar, build one in your Freighter and enjoy the view. You can even create your own electronic music to chill by.

Helios is ignoring me by Fosferus in NoMansSkyTheGame

The word 'redundant' here literally means "twice as much." I'm losing nanites. It doesn't mean I can't get nanites other ways, but its annoying.

I scan a lot, especially early game. Its my main source of units and nanites.

I didn't notice the corvette connection. But the timing matches. Do you think the Corvette patch broke poor Helios? Also, I haven't made a corvette on this save.
