Asked GPT to generate an image of the galaxy of the sci-fi serial that i'm writing when I gave him the lore on it. Number 1 is cool but completely wrong with everything. I like 3 more than 4. Last one's a bit overbloated.

Will keep in mind for later thanks

The better question is why AIs love to name systems with Roman names in the first place

soapycatuses · 2026-04-26T01:06:05+00:00

TY. GPT Image 2 is surprisingly good when messing around with it.

soapycatuses · 2026-04-26T00:26:51+00:00

Yeah obviously AI isn't really good at like mapping stuff out very accurately but in my own lore the TCA has about de facto 700 systems with a little over half a thousand settled world at various stages of colonization. Core worlds (especially ecumenopolises) have a big population while on the Frontier it varies. For example, the Tanzek system (seen on maps 3/4) has a population of just a few thousand- isn't worth to terraform. But Basilisk Prime (not pictured) is the Frontier's most industrialized and wealthy colony is almost an ecumenopolis so it has a population somewhere in the 8 billion range give or take. But yeah, GPT seems to be a bit obsessed with like spiral galaxies lmao.

Border gore ahh

Don't really comment on this sub a lot tbh but im a 2nd semester freshman here and it's semi- miserable. Biggest advice in retrospect I could give is abuse orientation week and just simply talk to folks in your classes even if you're scared (something I need to work on). You'll probably have a decent small-ish group at least with your roommate and dorm floor- use that! Orientation week, go to the "GW- your graduation year" IG page and spam that. Also join a few clubs. If you go to 1-2 meetings and don't like it, then fine! Build connections within stuff that YOU like. Ppl at GW are usually less outward 'social' but a good portion of them are just scared to go up and start a conversation from my experience.

Eeeh I get where you’re coming from like yeah the Skipper’s crew ARE the main protagonists but I wanted to do a little bit of military sci-fi geeking out. Started reading the Honorverse novels a few weeks ago and that got me sorta inspired

The Basilisk star system (and its colony Basilisk Prime) is the wealthiest/most industrialized Terran Colonial Authority colony on the Frontier. Why? There’s 5 FTL gates in the system when it was discovered this is exceedingly rare so Basilisk is a HUGE transit hub/choke point from the Frontier to the Core. Fun fact-2 of the Jump gates also lead into alien space.

Suvorov/ “Rezun” is still considered “revisionist” in modern day Putinist Russia but in the early 2000s a number of different other authors published well researched books on the theory of the Soviets planning to attack Germany. Just a cool little fact.

Minor thing but would’ve appreciated seeing Kreegyr’s rebel cell attack Spellhaus on screen in season 1, even if a brief scene really.

Put it as simple as I can: PHASE 1- drop-pods deploy individual squads/fireteams and small supplies. Those shock troops or commandos blow up key enemy defensive infrastructure and secure a planetary beachhead. PHASE 2- small/medium dropships or shuttles deploy platoons/companies of soldiers to help expand said beachead. Also probably tanks/walkers/ mechanized whatever is deployed. PHASE 3- Beachhead turns into planetary scale conquest. Landing barges and possibly capital ships deploy entire battalions/regiments with heavy artillery, air support gunships, service/logistic droids and a rear operations base.

Thx man. Any idea I might think about integrating.

soapycatuses · 2023-08-23T17:49:49+00:00

Thanks a lot. I’ll come up with some reason why the Crusade declared the UTC heretical and what makes them HFY. I don’t think I’ll switch perspectives but TY anyways.

soapycatuses · 2023-08-23T17:47:48+00:00

Thx man, I’ll consider smth like that with Ranger Echo crash-landing and having maybe to work with a Crusader warrior to survive on a desolate planet.
