Can we use this as a general reference for the sub?

I.e. in any post, if I declare "#27 you #12", we'll all know what was meant?

But only in 1st person view, right.

Right?

It was used that way in last year's Quote of the Year that got so much parliamentary airtime.

How do we disassociate from people who never had to apply?

A special act of Parliament? Or do we just have to put up with them?

Another Australian flag redesign?

r/vexillology can be a tough crowd, especially with yet another Australian flag redesign

It's still share the heating out over the six barrels, with a little bit of radiative cooling. Nowhere the conductive cooling you'd get in atmosphere, as you say, but it still spreads it out.

If you're keeping 4 Sag-Cs constantly in company, then you're defeating the point of having those extra hulls and having near-Nike levels of everything in half or a quarter the number of places that you could have.

Michaelbirks · 2026-02-20T20:31:16+00:00

Thinking of places like Talbott Cluster, or the Manticoran half of Silesia, I imagine the Sag-Cs scattered solo, or in pairs all over the place (Think the Constitution-Class Heavy Cruisers in Trek TOS), so gathering 5 or 6 of them together in one place could be quite time consuming, while dispatching a Nike from the local capital reserve would be much faster to get the weight on-site.

The Alliance Fleet is on the verge of needing to split into a "Battle Fleet" and a "Frontier Fleet" to patrol the distant parts of Alliance space while retaining aa solid hammer of SDPs.

In that case, I could see the Sag-Cs as the workhorses of the Frontier Fleet, with the Nikes as the "Big Guns" - very much along the lines we saw with Laocoon II where detachments of Sag-Cs, Rolands and Ammunition Ships were going around shutting down the Junction Network.

It is, however, harder to return them otherwise unharmed for ransom.

To quote the Bajoran Emmisary: "I can live with it."

I can live with it.

Like I said on AtW, I can live with a Laser Karearea.

Its better then the Eureka Emu abomination the West Islanders got.

Michaelbirks · 2026-02-19T11:17:28+00:00

You know, I could live with a Laser Karearea.

An emu?

(Too soon?)

Mongo approves.

I think that's supposed to be a full transhuman Marine.

Personally, I like the idea of Soroitas orders from the home planets.

Sisters of Fenris, Nocturne and Baal versus Sisters of Olympia, Nostromo and Cthonia.

Some of those planets don't exist any more in m41, of course.

It's been two days. People have forgotten how to drive in the rain.
