The eternal book recommendation thread remains, most excellently. Read Through Struggle, the Stars based off last week’s thread. I liked it; the science really is a ten on the Mohs scale and it scratched an itch I’d had since finishing The Expanse for well done space combat. Had a very weird drop in quality in any sections on the surface. Reminded me of the Bobiverse that way. Anyone have any ideas why so many authors that can create fully realized space combat systems just default New Earth Sheriff Department Ford Skytruck as soon as they hit atmosphere? Also more book recommendations please and thank you.
I'll shill my own hard scifi novel Ex Nihilo, Nihil Supernum
I assure you it has juicy space combat, and is about as hard scifi as I can write with my theoretical degree in physics. Even my lack of interest in calculating orbital transfers is explained by the fact that in this post-abortive singularity setting, we've got some serious torch ships, so brachistochrone orbits it is baby.
Should the mod-UI be altered to make filtered comments more obvious? I'm seeing more and more responses to them.
Huh. Is this one of those? Because it doesn't seem that way to me, except when I'm explicitly looking at filtered ones. Good point, maybe I'll raise it with Zorba. Either way, it's a perfectly inoffensive comment, so I'll take it as a prompt to clear the queue while the others are sleeping.
It's visible now, but yes, it was filtered when I commented.
