Of course I've got to reply to stuff as if it were USENET or something:
"John Reiher noted that the AMP suit from Avatar (pictured above) has a problem. The thing can't walk unless it can shift its center of gravity from one foot to another. If you play with the toy version of the mecha, you quickly discover that if it lifts a foot it will fall over. Its hips are too wide."
The AMP works fine. You just dynamically shift left/right.
The net in the image "CTL:BCI
Brain-computer interface", I have experience with that system if you're curious.
Under your classification / stats system, how do you see the E-frames from ExoSquad fitting in? Particularly Marsala and Nara's 2-seater? It doesn't have fully parallel interfaces like in Pacific Rim, but is more like a wired F-14 or something.
Whatever's going on here is not intuitive. It is MUCH easier to apply a patch to the inside, rather than the outside. There's clearly a person on the inside, so that person should be the one applying a patch.
Coincidentally, the general appearance looks vaguely like my latest version of what Cutty's spacecraft looks like. I've been writing it up over the last few weeks, struggling with various details.
Boeing's Starliner capsule finally launches, but runs into more trouble with helium leaks
Late in the day Wednesday, flight controllers detected signs of two more helium leaks in different parts of the ship's plumbing and carried out steps to isolate the affected lines. That stopped the leakage, but disabled six of 28 reaction control system jets in four propulsion modules mounted on the Starliner's service module.
@nyrath Interesting from a #WorldBuilding viewpoint ⬆️ (but also problematic in real life 🤔, we could have a Lunar War in some years if we, as species, are dumb enough).
@nyrath And thinking a little more about it is easy to see player characters of a roleplaying game as members of a Lunar Patrol, trying to mantain peace in the lunar lanes while searching for smuglers.
