What I got most out of that is that Mars is mostly from the global south. Bring on the afrofuturism!

Indeed, nearly the entirety of some Polynesian societies migrated off-planet and the rest is made up of a mix of south asian (Indonesia especially), varying amounts of badly hit coastal African nations and much smaller amounts of Europeans/North Americans. The primary origin of people of 'European' descent on Mars is actually Australia, New Zealand and South Africa although english is generally the accepted tongue for cross-enclave communication thanks to its ubiquity and default status as the worlds second language. Polynesian and other island cultures are in fact massively over-represented off-planet compared to overall numbers of humanity due to the extreme outward pressure as their homelands disappeared under the sea.

Are you simulating global warming in any way by changing the planet temperature and requiring infrastructure on Earth?

So I'm guessing Rugby is the national Martian Sport?

Got to imagine they've tweaked / reinvented most sports to be played in 40% gravity and in cramped conditions. Not alot of free space in pressure domes to devote to a big grass field.

Put nets up around the pitch to catch players when tackling throws them into the air and be prepared for passing to be a lot more interesting/acrobatic. As for the space concerns I could imagine some early colony designers making large communal meeting spaces/mess halls easily convertible into sports pitches/town meeting halls/talent night stages. That way you maximise the use of a given space whilst reinforcing community spirit and resolve, something no doubt quite useful when trying to start a colony in a hostile environment.

Have they done studies on what rising sea levels would do to Australia? I kind of wonder if everything (people, animals, plants, etc.) would just move inland when the seas rise. It's not like the continent is hurting for empty space.

I think the problem is that all the empty space is desert that can only support scrubby vegetation and some spiders, not millions of humans

Yea, but is it desert because that's the way God wants it, or is it desert because of prevailing weather patterns that will change with rising sea levels?

TLDR: if the oceans 'suddenly' rise it will be Hurricane Katrina times a thousand with very few places that can accommodate that many refugees and government aid may as well not exist, and literally everyone in the world is competing for the same vital resources that are in short supply (food/water/safety/hospitals) So "there's a slim chance society might not collapse" is an optimistic prediction.

On a similar note, I feel like I have a good handle on IC naming conventions until I see "Chelsea Clinton class" cruisers or whatever.

I'm that Space South African admiral warcrimes from Call of duty: infinite warfare. Probably not for long though!

The last Call of Duty I actually played was like... 3. Not Modern Warfare 3, just plain CoD 3. Are Mars the baddies in Infinite Warfare?

Nevets posted:Yea, but is it desert because that's the way God wants it, or is it desert because of prevailing weather patterns that will change with rising sea levels? The former. Where rain WOULD move inland, it is blocked by a ruddy great mountain range.Global warming = - farming land. and what's left gets extra rations of rain.

Saros posted:There's a call of duty in space? That's uh, something. The worst received Call of Duty ever! To the point where they immediately poo poo their pants and announced the next one is going back to WW2 (but likely not changing at all, it'll just be the same gameplay with Thompsons, and BARs and PPShs and stuff instead of M16s and MP5s). I finally caught back up with the thread. Good to see I got my ship! and nearly died in the first command run without doing anything useful to help the fleet at all! At least I survived, a valiant hero of the war for Titan Freedom.

Finally caught up to the thread. Never played this crazy game and the moment ship specs and such are mentioned my eyes glaze over so of course I added myself to be spacedorfed and cannot wait to take part in voting tactical decisions I should have no part to be in. So how difficult is this game actually to get into? All the menus seem pretty daunting at first glance but is it something that'll make sense in context or would a new player be having the wiki open for the first few weeks like DF?

I keep the wiki open all the time, I've been playing on & off for years. You're more than welcome to ask any questions at all either here or over on the discord chat. There are no dumb questions when it comes to a game this complex, so do ask anything When we're talking ship specs we're usually looking at the design summary. If you want a quick primer then check out the summary breakdown on the wiki page for class design Edit: Here's maybe a more simple primer, looking at those Phobos fighter-bombers we saw last combat. It's all situationally important stuff but these are maybe most immediately important
