Also sidenote, the reason that a main plot is important to my progress: I am already writing plot for two separate stories. I do not have the time and mental capacity to design a third story for my own characters at this moment, and if I did I would probably do it solo anyway.

Wow, I guess my attempts to explain myself late in the night were worse than I thought, because my main purpose of that message went entirely unaddressed. Especially by the main person this was all directed towards. Zombie, every impression you've given me has been that you're overwhelmed. I'm...

Alright, a little transparency is necessary. Let me dispel the fear and anxiety that such a preface might create, I just want to speak earnestly among friends. This has been on my mind for weeks and very little has encouraged me on this front. I've lost the ability to plan for this story or...

Technically correct is the best kind of correct.

He's feeling really under the weather right now.

Currently working on a 'return from hiatus' solo. Not sure if it'll get finished today, but expect me to flesh out some of Megastar Station's design and character stuff in it.

Obviously to maintain perfect gravity everywhere and the like centrifugal force wouldn't be even at that scale, but since we have artifical gravity tech we can say it adjusts things accordingly. The spin force is just saving energy for the station's massive consumption needs - why pass up a...

All very cool. Clarifying station question: I'm assuming each level is its own miniature city really, not like a 3 meter high floor. So there's substantial depth both horizontally from the center axis (inward and outwards) and depth up and down (point to point). That correct?

I'd rather not have it be a plot point at all, actually. More to the point, Viper's existence is in of itself a criminal action if we let it be known. If she's wise she should be wearing armor or some holographic device to disguise what she is off the ship to avoid that sort of attention...

I feel like the Fee wouldn't take prisoners.

With one of our crewmembers not concealing the fact that she's an A.I., anyone want to guess an ETA for the GFP black ops team that's going to take the crew into custody?

Also, I have created a codified psionics system with Zmby's blessing. Feel free to give that a look. Two notes: one, I forgot to make a change to note that you can expand into either side with increasing difficulty, rather than a hard "you can only have one focus and two minors" rule. The other...

Psionic Power Descriptions Raw Power (Red) - A red psion focuses on unleashing their energy in the most direct way possible. These psions focus on generating energy externally and then unleashing it - often all at once. Many of their abilities are destructive, and all are straightforward. They...

A general note regarding planetary design, though: we're not particularly near any of the major species homeworlds (humans, tamearins, Shinso, Quin, etc) as thus far described. I believe Zmby is of the same mind as I am that we're more of a periphery zone, hence a degree of lawlessness and a...

Psionics: the manifestation and control of otherworldly energies by the mind. Few species have the potential at all. They appear in a few individuals out of millions typically, save for engineered or extraordinary species like the Tamearins and Demigor, respectively. An individual’s willpower...

If the moon were big enough to exert a fairly equal gravitational force on the Earth, yes. It's like twin earths.

And no, that's specifically tidal locking to a star. I'm discussing the planets being in the habitable zone, but being tidally locked to one another. Twins.

Okay, first of all, the specific pair of planets I was discussing does not apply to all of them. I think you completely misunderstand what I'm talking about. I am going to put this as straightforwardly as I can: Melena and Tebbiton were described as following the exact same orbital path (the...

No, that's what didn't make sense. Tidally locked to one another means they're close enough to be gravitationally attracted to one another. I just explained why orbiting the exact same path on opposite sides wouldn't occur.

Ahem... a note about orbital characteristics. The Shinso/Cartus planets could have similar orbits, but their paths wouldn't intersect. Planets naturally sweep up all the material in their path: you don't end up with two in the precisely same path. If you wanted to keep that, I'd instead suggest...
