Show Notes
Alien Reconnaissance
Distress calls. Radio broadcasts and other ways to watch the best.speech.ever.
Alien Arrival
Wormholes. Telefragging. In-system ship speeds and an incredible ability to slow down.
Human Reverse Engineering
Twenty years of reverse engineering alien tech has yielded great fruit. Propulsion! Anti-gravity.
Getting Stuff in Space
It’s hard! Gravity wells. Magic fusion antigravity obviates the main utility of Lagrange points.
Inertial Dampening
Fluid sack inertial dampening.Breathable oxygenated fluids. Vectors!
Data in a Coma
Muscular atrophy. Twenty years without moving. Communicating with locked-in patients.
City Destroyers
Gratiuitous city destruction. Tactics and strategy. Are the aliens just jerks?
They flew into my butthole! My only weakness, how did you know?!
Harvester Ships
