You know, I do have an almost embarrassing weakness for people comparing fictional ships, but so many people don't do it right.
We're here for a narrative. A story.
Anyone that's like
"The Hogglebock has a max fuel range of 99.287 but the Burfergurfer has a max fuel range of 102.875, the Hogglebock has a max battery of 921.751, and the Burfergurfer has-"
What are you doing? Anyone can read the fucking stats and you're being boring.
@Craigp it's amazing that roughly half the books in the Honor Harrington series have, as a climactic element, a thirty page explanation of the relative merits of two opposing sides' missiles as they spend thirty minutes approaching one another, and that somehow this ends up being exciting
@Craigp also a refreshing case of boomer military fiction that gets massively, markedly more progressive as it goes (to the point where the author's own inserted political opinions from the early books are subsequently retconned as Sinister Cult Interference)
Give us context. Say that the Burfergurfer can jump straight to Millenor to pick up smeerps to sell on Glorpinorp, but the Hogglebock falls just short.
