Rrinku replied to the thread Rules Clarification: Sustained Damage Space Combat.Mm. I think what the rule is just saying is that above certain damage vs size differentials it's not reasonable for any shot to be able...

Rrinku replied to the thread Inbound System Comms.Gravity waves are constantly washing over us. They are extremely weak, even nearby ones. It's unlikely anything would overload, but we...

Rrinku replied to the thread Pioneer - Get Ready for Launch!.I'm not sure that's exactly how it went, but it's been a while since I read it.

Rrinku replied to the thread Inbound System Comms.In practice, the gravity detectors are only really useful for observing stuff inside a system, or stellar objects. Gravity waves do...
