Panel 7 – Ten meters? That’s almost kissing range.
PC (or anybody else) – I don’t recall if we’ve seen
the Daggers vs the Tobies. My memory says the
stingships that destroyed that original fighter that
chased Chirk were renamed Tobies, but my memory
ain’t what I think I remember it was. Any episodes
with good sideshots?
https://thegentlewolf.net/comic/tgw-133/ gives a good view
about the size of one of the older VW bug. Lower and longer
but I’m willing to bet they are close to the same weight.
Jeesh these idiots, there are several people in the crowd that
have the Emperor’s ear and support and he doesn’t know any
of them? I thought he was the guy in the meeting when Miral
and Ahmya had their reconciliation…
Ah, that explains much, They are taking out what little defenses
they have on the ships and them either talk them down or
disable the engines. Then they can have a little “talk” about the
real situation and what they can look forward to.
I forgot that. Heh, well then this is like a Karen
trying to get the chief of police’s son arrested
for being black. And since this is clearly a nobody
trying to control who does what in “his” town,
he just got nailed for fraud.
I’m not sure how Japanese law works, but that’s not how it
works in England. None of Camilla’s or Catherine’s kin are
in the line of succession. They would have influence though.
Japanese law. Emperor – bio, adopt, illegit,. then the next family male.
until Higashi has a son, Yoshi is it…
oh an after 1947 law,. No females.! she can enforce his law,
not change it.!
So if the Daggers are/were accelerating at 80g and then maneuvering
to avoid anti-missile counter measures,
WHY are the pilots not smears stuck to the sides of the cockpit?
AND if 51 seconds is the point of contact, well…
the Imperial ships are probably less than 10,000 kilometers away.
(BTE calculations using the 51 seconds and the 80g put the launch
point at roughly 19000 kilometers away if the acceleration continued
for the full 51 seconds.
If they are managing to get as close as 10 meters without bumping,
they have to reverse acceleration half way through
(See “The Expanse” for inter planetary travel.)
We can invoke inertial dampers and well placed anti grav cushions
to resolve the 80g issue.
But the distance? David Webber’s Space Battles (Honor Harringinton
universe will be a popular read in this audience) involve minutes
10’s of thousands of Kilometers.
Sci Fi geek here.
And Naval ships (and Space Naval ships especially) don’t have a
whole lot to engage inside a certain perimeter.
Most space craft have grav drives in the interior set to pull on everything
in the craft to counter the acceleration effects. Most of them anyway. The
Daggers and Toby’s must have them or the crews would be a gooy mess
inside. They pull on you the same direction that the craft is moving so
you barely feel anything. https://thegentlewolf.net/comic/tgw-137/ panel 6
As I seem to remember, the grav drives on the Wolf Empire ships
act on all objects within the field effect with equal effect.
In short, the craft are their own gravity well, and everything
in it is subject to the gravity field generated by the drives.
There are drives inside the ships to pull on the people during the
time to counter the inertia, the drives that move the ship pull on
spacial objects, not the ship. https://thegentlewolf.net/comic/tgw-091/
i based the numbers on what was said previously
IE: launch detected 30,000 away… accelerating
to 60g… so…
60g acell = g = m/s^2 = 9.80665m/s
range 30k / speed 9.8m/s = 3059.14t
3059.14t / 60 second = 50.98 (51s)
typical math IF all remains constant.!!!
So my look up used the following distance formula*
d = (v*t) +(1/2*a*t**2)
d is distance
v is initial velocity (I assumed 0)
a is acceleration (9.8*80)
t**2 is time squared (51*51)
[old school programming notation!]
That
d = 1/2* (9.8*80)*(51*51)
d = 1,019,592 meters
d = 1019 Kilometers
Acceleration is a funny thing.
Keep it up and you end up going really, really fast
v = a*t
v = 9.8*51
v=39,984 m/s
v=39.984 km/sec (well past escape velocity Earth Normal)
A greater authority has arrived.
shicho = mayor
40 small – Daggers.
120 large – Tobies.
I do hope Mr. Mayor and Cpt. Bat
brought clean undies as both will need them
Undershirt for Cpt and shorts for Mayor.
Panel 4 – “Ah Shit!” moment in 3 – 2 – 1 . . .
Panel 8 as well.
As the guillotine catch is released,
and the blade begins its fall…….

https://thegentlewolf.net/comic/tgw-136/ gives a better side-view
fighters attached to the Wyvern..
looking for a better…
https://thegentlewolf.net/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/DESN-Wyvern-FR0001a-1536×1323.jpg
The toby’s are nearly twice the size of the
Daggers and since they carry 60 missiles
in a drum they look like they are pregnant.
https://thegentlewolf.net/comic/tgw-1144/ is a good
comparison of a toby with people standing by it for size.
FOUND IT! Episodes 133 & 136 appear to be the Daggers.
Episode 1094 gives an excellent sideview of a Toby, by name.

No, these town council clowns are not the same ones
from the Miral/Ahmya recon. They were arrested when
IT shot Miral.
“Emperor’s ear” .. more like royal’s themselves..
prince Yoshi,. princess Nori,. royal attaché Miral..
since big sis just became the Empress.!
which makes Yoshi second inline for the throne…
I forgot that. Heh, well then this is like a Karen

I think the under text is fitting for both story lines…

Most SciFi works that employ such things refer to
them as “inertial compensators”.
Oops! Or “inertial dampers”.

And https://thegentlewolf.net/comic/tgw-137/
the last two links explain how they avoid the
splatter effect of sudden, rapid acceleration.

Yep. That answered my “splatter” question pretty clearly.
(In my defense, that was a really long time ago.)
