I'll have you know she was challenged to an HONORABLE DUEL by the COWARD who was hired to murder her FIRST ever LOVER and then proceeded to CHALLENGE and DEFEAT the killer AND the man who hired him and this picture represents the moment she went to the ship's SHOOTING RANGE to refresh her ANCIENT-STYLE .45 PISTOL SKILLS aboard the SHIP SHE COMMANDED.

That's the series that had a convoluted explanation for having basically Napoleonic era ship-of-the-line battles IN SPACE, right?
I'm so glad I read the real thing instead.

Malachi Constant posted:

Honestly, it's one of the more realistic depictions of spaceship fights, assuming that there are inertial engines that accelerate at a tremendous rates. The fleets spend hours accelerating toward each other across a solar system and the actual combat happens over about a tenth of a second. The most destructive force is nukes detonating at relativistic velocities so that they hit the enemy ships as high energy gamma rays. Eventually FTL sensors come into play which is dubious, but I admit that the scene where the Grayson Navy launches their completely unexpectedly massive missile salvo toward the enemy still leaves me verklempt. "For Honor, and no quarter!". Yes I really am the dork I was pretending to be.
The most realistic space battle was in Harry Harrison's Starworld.:colbert:

Memento posted:

About six years ago, a batch of knock-off Chinese drones hit Australia that hadn't been programmed to return to base properly. They had GPS in the drone and the control unit, and when they got low on battery, they were supposed to go back to base. Instead, they went Home. Home, in this case, was a factory in Shenzhen, so they just took off north as fast as their rotors would carry them.

Some people found them. Most didn't.

That would be a good business model if Home were a little less far away. In fact, I think there's a fairy tale along these lines (shady guy sells a horse/goat/whatever that always runs back to him).

I just to think "wolverine" was the word for a female wolf (like "vixen" for a fox).
In my defense, in German a wolverine is called "Vielfraß" (glutton, as in the Latin name for the species, Gulo gulo).
