You and me both - if there's a loose thread, I'll pull on it 🤣

Yes, that would help the initial understanding. And diagrams. My current questions are about what the different levels of the assorted interface packages mean, and also what appear to be pretty basic contradictions between CRB and CSC. I'm going to look back through the older parts of the...

Just saw that ☝️ and came her to say that likely has more than the couple of pages with passing comments in Armies of the FFW.

We seem to be getting at crossed purposes. My comment was on https://forum.mongoosepublishing.com/threads/rules-clarification-agent-programs-cscp69.125603/post-1020199, where Jon says that the user needs to know azimuth and elevation to use his GRNS. This sub-part of the thread seems to have...

The DJV one is thorough (and I like it a lot), but it would take a while to use it to generate several characters, I think.

Behind The Claw Armies of the Fifth Frontier War (as an example of a terrorism Vs freedom fighter discussion)

I just don't understand how the traveler knows exactly (or even vaguely) where to point their mobile computing device or whatever it is to measure the elevation. During daylight there's definitely not going to be anything to look at. Even during night how are they distinguishing the near...

Sure - by very skilled users, using high magnitude, well-known stars, to a low degree of precision.

On earth, GSO is 36,000km, though. And, I don't understand how you precisely measure angle of elevation from a device on a planet's surface to something you can't see 36,000 to 42,000km away. I can just about see the ISS with the naked eye, but (1) I know where to look to find it because I...

I disagree with this. If my phone picks up just one GPS satellite, it has no idea what direction that signal's coming from. Ignoring altitude and clock drift the signal from one satellite gives me a circle on whose circumference I could be anywhere.

I've never heard of that. The individual device would need to know precise orbit information for the satellite, and from the description the device needs to be transmitting to the satellite as well, and it needs a way for measuring angular elevation. The transmission would probably be something...

Hmmm. I'm struggling to work out how to use a single satellite in orbit over the equator to determine position...

Interesting. If it were a single MPO satellite orbiting an earth-size world, the orbital period would be 2 to 24h, rather than 10 to 60 minutes, though :)

What's that from? My CRB (MgT2e 2022) says:

That's a very interesting idea. Since I've actually been playing I've not had much time in my old passion of designing robots 😁
