I don't know. It is definitely a longstanding trope though. It is how 40K Space Marines do it when the teleportariums aren't practical. It is how Droids board in SWTOR.. It was used early in The Expanse. I believe they were used in Babylon 5. It was how the Magog boarded ships in Andromeda.

OK, after playing more in the past couple of weeks than the past couple of years, I came to a realization. I almost never use my Sabre, and my loaner Super Hornet even less. The only time I use the Sabre is when the Blue and Vanguard are both waiting for the insurance timer. And I use it for...

As a certified MOUT instructor (years ago) you don't use the doors to breach. That is asking to be killed. It even happens in Science Fiction. Remember the first released Star Wars movie? All those bodies stacked up at the airlock. Breaching charges and boarding torpedoes are the way to go...

I get it. I was looking at it from an operating cost perspective. Since they (with one exception) all use the same components, operating costs should be similar. And no the S3 ship doesn't automatically lose. The Corsair and Connie hit harder but they have a tougher time getting nose on target...

To be fair, I don't have a dog in this fight. My Cutlass is the Blue, so not quite the same idea. The Zeus II MR is the Blue's competition. There are other ships, that fit in this category that are general purpose and depending on what your actual focus is should be under consideration. The...

The fuel situation is not settled. No ship has it's final fuel values. In fact most ships before the MSR, have fuel values based on component size. A couple from before the MSR, have higher capacities, and expect those to have more range, but anything MSR and later, can't be properly judged...

https://www.shadesofgreen.org/ Prices have gone way up. It wasn't that long ago that the most expensive room for E-6 and below at both Shades of Green and Hale Koa (Which is the only hotel on Wakiki Beach) was less than $30.

I've been using GameGlass for years. Rooster is correct. The client (Tablet) not the server is where you change shards. The server is where you can set up a shard. If you buy one or more of the commercial shards you can use it on multiple devices, for example I usually have avionics on my...

Resort at Disney World owned by the US Army Morale Welfare and Recreation Fund. It is one of the non-Disney resorts in the former Reedy Creek Improvement District, now CFTOD. The army runs it for military members, their families, retirees, and veterans. It sits a block and a short walk (before...

Disney has killed Star Wars (and Marvel and Pixar). The only way Disney can make great Star Wars is to fire the entire C-Suite, both at Disney and Lucas Films, fire Filoni and the entire creative staff, and hire writers that know how to tell a great story. Wishing and hoping isn't going to make...

I was talking about the weather forecast.

LOL. I thought the forercast was for a colder and wetter winter this year.

Come on. Aren't there supposed to be snowflakes on the forums?

There is a long tradition of dropping people from orbit. Blame it on Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers (The book). Since then it has been a staple of Military Sci-Fi. I'm more surprised they are talking Mechs but not Drop Pods. Traveller RPG: Warhamer 40K: Halo:

External, something like this?

A Platoon or two of these guys should be enough. And they even fit into most places you would want infantry in Star Citizen.

At the scale of Mech they are looking at, and the interior of ships, caves and bunkers we have, Mechs don't have much utility. To work they have to be, about, man sized, which makes them power armor.

Add Retaliator base and modules to that list.

It's a good business model, it is a poor game development model.

This bike was only $15 (IIRC) because it's built from a referral Merlin. I thought, with all the time they are spending on ground vehicles, it might be a good idea to have one. Fast, agile and multi-use. My wife has a Yellow Jacket, which she loves the looks of. Now, since it won't even...
