Not new though is it, despite the genus name.

This is newer (and cool) but, well, nevermind.

I think the core code needs three commodities for various internal reasons: slaves, minerals and alloys

For escape pods, mining and destroyed ships respectively, right?

Four Forces with varying liveries based on location which could be any system with most forms of Government. No need for a unique livery for every system as many Police Forces use the same livery despite location and distance Nice. Or four different 'branches' One for each of the controlled goods a...

I am sorry but why did the giant snake not try to eat him, or at the very least bite him or constrict him Snakes generally have a slow metabolism. Hungry and aggressive or sated and placid. Could a scientific expedition with 15 scientists on board not have at least a single wet suit among them nor ...

It's a Westralian thing.

Fair dinkum.

Hope that's not an exclusively East Australian thing...

Isn't GalCop already a corporation and doesn't it already have it? You see my point, right? Where is the GalCop branding on the default Vipers? According to you it's only in the corporate states and my argument is that makes no sense. I didn't say it was on the ships I asked if GalCop wouldn't alre...

Corporations love branding Isn't GalCop already a corporation and doesn't it already have it? You see my point, right? So do you imagine that they 'co-run' the police with GalCop, as I asked earlier, or is it that they insist that GalCop branding match their local sensibilities (like a certain sear...

And I'm going to let this noob fly the Grey Swan , am I? Yeah, nah. "There are large, white swans, and there are small, black swans," he explained, "But there are no medium-sized swans, and there are no grey swans. The non-existence of grey swans mitigates against belief in Mr Darwin...

Sound interesting/promising/worth developing/tedious? Hit me with your thoughts/ideas/suggestions. Well, escorting an anaconda would be quite tedious I think, as would replacing an indisposed pilot. Intercepting assassins is a bit less sedentary however. How about some different solutions to two of...

I'm thinking Corporate States (with the goal of heading towards a Corp State System OXP), but perhaps not every one. Perhaps only those with a productivity greater than 20000 MCr. What's the logic here? Do you think that: Liveries are corporate in nature? The corporations run the police for/with Ga...

The horrendously expensive liners need top-notch protection . A slither of Cobra Mk.1s? Surely a nest of vipers with some interceptors mixed in is more the sort of thing? How many escorts and what they are armed with is arguably as (if not more) important as what ships they are. Six vipers with bea...

True, but the logic our pirates use doesn't cover those things. They shoot things to get cargo. So no cargo = no pirate attacks... = no need for escorts... = freedom to traverse any system unmolested... except that's not quite right is it? ...and yes I know you said to get cargo not because they kn...
