That's actually a massive issue. What's the reason for going there if we can't mine materials from the surface?

If this is made, it would have to have a rather low population, or be spread out amongst multiple platforms. It actually might be less populated than Luna, methinks, because the lack of the ability to land on the surface poses a massive obstacle to population growth. Also, Laputa was named because it meant "The Bitch." Swift was a satirist, after all.

I've thought about colonization of Venus, but with cloud colonies there just wouldn't realistically be enough actual living space to allow a significant portion of the human population to live there. Granted, this is a universe where humanity has FTL travel and the ability to manipulate gravitrons, but the point about living space still stands since you're going to need most of the space on the platforms just for the equipment just to keep a cloud city afloat. Since it's a universe with gravitron manipulation, then the issue of low gravity on Mars is effectively solved. So is the issue of transportation over interplanetary distances. I'm not shitting on the idea of Venus colonies. I think those are a cool addition to the lore. But I just don't think they'll be that big or important in the grand scheme of things.

No, she's the other ones with the super white girl accents.

Honestly, The Ship seeems magnitudes better than Nuclear Dawn, which is just a reskinned version of the free but terrible game Empires. Not to shit on your generosity, though.

That's not an error. It takes about 5 minutes for the launcher to even get to the main menu.

THE HYPE IS REAL IT'S FUCKING REAL

Pla... that's not how guns work. Also, while any bullet can kill you provided it hits a vital area, a .22LR round will not cause more internal damage than a 5.56 NATO round. If the bullet stays in you (without hitting a vital), that's actually a good thing. People who are shot often have the bullets left inside them because it's safer to do that than remove them and potentially cause further damage. Meanwhile, exit wounds will cause heavy bleeding and will potentially be fatal. And regarding body armor, there's no such thing as armor that can simply shrug off bullets. If you get shot, it's going to feel like you got punched in the gut (or worse), no matter what kind of ammunition is being used. That's if you're lucky enough to not have the bullet just straight up pierce the armor, even.

There's really no point to this. Tens of thousands of different guns can and probably do exist in-universe, but large organizations with paramilitary/dedicated security personnel are going to have a small set of standard issue weapons, partially because it simplifies training and procurement, and partially because it's highly likely that contracts will be made with manufacturers to supply the organization's firearm needs. There wouldn't be a huge selection of firearms available to the employees, and any self-respecting organization is going to provide gear to their personnel rather than have them buy and use their own.

yiss

Maybe the loyalty implants of the heads malfunction and make them loyal to the Syndicate instead of Nanotrasen?

When it's all laid out like this, it actually does make sense to drastically increase the lifespan of the average person in the SS13-verse. Cloning and prosthetics would already ensure a few more decades tacked onto one's life on their own, and the possibility that the medicines used have nanotech incorporated into them would actually add several more.

WE NEED TO IMPLEMENT THAT CODE SO WE CAN HAVE NEW AMMUNITION FOR PNEUMATIC CANNONS BABY CANNONS YES

I'm a red-blooded American, so naturally I possess an ingrained adoration for firearms of all sorts. But yeah, the most you can really do with this is make different sprites, adjust the values by miniscule amounts and make any guns that are more powerful rarer or simply harder to obtain ammunition for. As much as it pains me to say it, there's not too much flexibility in terms of firearms in 2d spessmen. Unless you start talking about magrifles.

As far as space catholicism is concerned, it would be easier to just have different sects. No racist popes, no rise of Space Roma. I actually "created" a sect based off of Orson Scott Card's Speaker for the Dead, which I called "Las Hijas de la Mente de Cristo." You know, because who's gonna stop me?

I installed the modpack and Java 64-bit. Shit's still broken.

I really don't think this is necessary. Catholics in universe would probably stick to tradition, methinks. Maybe some progressive actions, but not too much.

Nope. This is what Vittorio sounds like.

I doubt this is going to happen. You can only show so much detail on 32x32 pixel sprites.

As far as I know, it doesn't vary between states. 21 is the drinking age of the United States. And it's probably good that it is too, since 18 year olds tend to be goddamn idiots. Not saying that 21 year olds aren't, but they've at least had 3 more years to mature. Supposedly.

I'm still going to say "fuck that person." Because fuck that person.
