High velocity combat vessels that uncouple from the
FTL carrier craft and overwhelm the defending fleets.
Essentially, an aircraft carrier in space… On steroids…
It sounds to me like this young man is on the track for officer’s school!
Simple, hopefully fast transport with the FTL drives. Without seeing
how well they work, we don’t know yet if it’s as fast as gate travel. If
not faster since you don’t have to fly to them. I like the recovery option,
recovering damaged ships would always be a huge hassle otherwise.
Please allow me this, my thoughts on the murders of Charlie Kirk and
Iryna Zaruska and the insane, malevolent reactions of some:
“(They) have awakened a sleeping giant and filled it with a terrible resolve.”
Admiral Yamamoto
I do not condone what happened to Charlie Kirk
even if I disagreed with everything he said and organized.
Violence will NOT solve this country’s problems.
I have to wonder why the same outrage didn’t occur
when two Democratic state senators and their spouses
were assassinated by a right-wing fanatic.
PC – you are right, we are fast heading to a boiling point
And SOMEBODY needs to turn the heat down.
The difference is in the reactions on both sides. Can you show me any videos of the Right celebrating the deaths
of those politicians? I can show you thousands of TicToc and X videos of Leftists dancing and singing, celebrating
the death of Charlie Kirk and calling for more Conservatives to be killed.
Show me the news programs that blamed Biden for the murders, I can show you many that blame Trump for Kirk
and Zaruska.
Show me the cities burning over the death of Kirk who just wanted to engage college students who disagreed with
him in real dialogue, who allowed them to speak freely and actually debate him, and I’ll show you hundreds of
instances of Leftists using violence to shut down and and attempt to silence speakers on the Right like Laken
Riley, Josh Shapiro, Stephen Crowder, and others who aren’t even allowed to speak on campuses.
Show me a politician on the Right like Maxine Waters who gives public speeches calling on Leftists to intimidate
people on the Right, to run them out of public spaces like gas stations and restaurants.
The far Left is showing us who they are, and we see it. They want us dead, and we’re prepared.
Antifa threatened, “Rural America, we’re coming for you!” and Rural America said “OK”.
It is the far and not-so-far Left that is calling for and celebrating violence and death, not the Right.
I just watched a dem Representative, he was asking the
“far right” to tone down the outcry over the shooting.
But if it was a wanted criminal that was shot there’d be a riot.
I live in rural America. When BLM was demonstrating up
in Dallas, the mayor of Cleburne (just north of where I live)
said, in public, “Yes, we know our city was named for a
Confederate general. No, we’re not ashamed of that. No,
we’re not going to change it. And if you come here, rioting,
trying to make us change it, we WILL shoot you.” Needless
to see, it’s still Cleburne.
Same here, when the covid riots started, both my sister
and her hubby was worried they’d reach us here, I tried
to explain to them that riots need a large population to
keep going, but their worry got the best of them. We are
set between 2 small towns, neither have more than 3000
population, so any riot would be a few dozen people, tops.
The LEO’s could easily deal with them…
I can point to a US Senator who tried to blame the left for
the assassinations in Minnesota.
I can point to rightist talking heads who said
“100% we need to politicize the death of Irena”.
I can point to right wing people who made
fun and libeled Nancy Pelosi’s innocent husband
when he was attacked by a right wing extremist.
Please do not claim the right does not have it’s
violent fanatics and those who celebrate their actions.
I don’t celebrate Kirk’s assassination.
And I read an editorial a liberal commentator,
celebrating how Charlie Kirk engaged with
his opponents and anyone who would listen.
I can appreciate his willingness to engage
even as I disagree with everything he
believes.
Whatever the goal of the killer, he
may have spawned a spiral of violence
where each side trades “kills”.
that it will spawn more violence.
We have to step back from this damned “Culture War”.
Can you explain why cities aren’t burning after Charlie Kirk,
but Democrats BACKED people burning cities when a thug died?
Maybe those demoscum politicians would get more sympathy if
they backed good people and good policies.
Charlie Kirk was a gentle soul who only wanted to help and
educate the young about the hypocrisy they were being force
fed and the lies of the so-called value of the classes they
were taking. He was no a threat than any other wise-speaking
person, he neither deserved not earned what happened to him.
Those people that did this only seen a threat to what they
considered “the way of life” that all the kids should think their
way. I’ve watched several video’s like one where a woman
(white) reporter took a elderly black man into a republican
rally, he was greeted warmly and was invited to stay. But when
the lady that asked him to do this took him over to the democrat
rally, she was threatened, yelled at, and pushed around, forcing
them both to leave. I hate to say it, but the civil war between
red and blue has started, just none of them have the guts to
declare it openly. Maybe they want to poison enough minds so
they start it on it’s own…
Oh wait…
“Even Trump”? The guy who claims Kirk as a close personal
friend (now) and not just a supporter, who just ordered the
deaths of suspected drug smuggler “terrorists” in circumstances
where any evidence ended up at the bottom of the sea? Of
COURSE he wants him to get the death penalty.

“I want to thank President Trump and his incredible family for the same.
Mr. President, my husband loved you. And he knew that you loved him too.
He did. Your friendship was amazing. You supported him so well, as he did for you.”.
A surprise party
I like this take on FTL assistance, space trucking flatbeds.
Yep. Drop off the ships, they’ll wait while you go get more.
And since they have grav and standard ion drives,
they can go in and pick up damaged ships.
Gonna need a hell of a lot of
tie down straps to keep the
ships on the flatbed.
Same docking clamps that freighters use with containers.
Versatility and standardization.
Battle Riders.

Hmmmmm. Reminded of the English fleet going up against the Spanish Armada.

You’re not wrong, PC. You’re not wrong. When the
giant will react, and how, remains to be seen.
Yes the fit is about to hit the shan.
I cannot rationalize the comments of
some people.

even if I disagreed with everything he said and organized.
