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

Ask for the location of two "insurance" nukes in areas we already control as a sign of good faith. I'm off the opinion that we should offer him the chance to live out a quiet, modest life rather than return to the IC.

Unconditional Surrender it is, then. Provide assurances that he'll get to live, under permanent house arrest, in a relatively modest apartment.

This is fantastic. Serpentis posted:Yeah, as much as I dug for the GM-space-hulk, this is the smarter thing to do. Equally though, maybe we need to give them to the TFS right now and ask for a "repair team" to do the scanning and copying later to prevent the UN from nicking the wrecks for themselves as part of the 'peace-keeping clean up' or such bollocks. They'd have a much harder go publicly and politically of taking them from the TFS, an aggrieved fledging state, than big ol' bad military republic on the warpath Mars. I'm getting flashbacks to the "Propaganda war" in BGreman's Aurora LP. This is the same Putin who, in our actual timeline, right now, has annexed Crimea outright as a fait accompli and has embroiled the eastern half of the Ukraine in a Totally Not Russian Backed insurrection. If they just take the ships, or Titan for that matter, who's going to stop them? Outside of guaranteeing Titan's freedom by means of our SSBMs on Mars aimed at Earth there's nothing that would prevent it if they wished. Earth's entire behaviour around Titan is dictated by how much we're willing to end life in the solar system over what they do, and they've found an escape hatch already.

Nevets posted:I doubt Terra offered us exclusive access to this JP without looking at least once, but I'll bet they only glanced long enough to notice the lack of gas giants and the most habitable planet was only slight more hospitable than Mars. I'm skeptical of that suggestion too. It didn't take us THAT long to find the ruins. They either have an even bigger find and just want to throw us this bone because we don't know better, or they effectively wrote this off as a defensible location and haven't bothered with scouting it and haven't found any future points yet.

Crazycryodude posted:The Earth crews have also been through far more jumps than the Martian crews. Our dudes take longer to recover after each jump, Earth's dudes will only have it worse with their buggier tech and more jumps. This, definitely. I'm betting that Mars putting strict limits on jump rotations right away had an effect in not letting this happen to us.

Crazycryodude posted:Earth's biosphere is already teetering on the edge of collapse, this might be the shock that puts it over the edge. Not the explosions themselves, they're pretty miniscule when compared to a planet, but the impending refugee crisis will lead to poo poo like clear-cutting the Amazon to put up apartment blocks and plant farms to replace all the ones in Ukraine that just got irradiated. We might very well need to come in with our terraformers and seed banks or whatever to help prop it up. What a strange coincidence, Terra relatively recently discovered a liveable new world. I'm sure that there will be a number of volunteers. Gridlocked posted:Anyone else get the Metro reference? Yep So, mechanically, what is the event of nuclear fallout in Aurora? Does previously 100% compatible Terra now need infrastructure in a vast scale, disproportionate to the effects? Does the fallout dissipate? Can we "loan" a terraformer to Earth?

Crazycryodude posted:In Aurora, nukes hitting a planet kick up two things - dust, and radiation. Radiation reduces population growth and increases unrest, which reduces production. Dust increases the planetary albedo, and enough of it can cool the planet down so much that environmental problems can start occuring. You can build enhanced radiation warheads that do less damage to other ships/ground facilities but pump quadruple radiation onto the planet they hit, but I doubt Earth had those just sitting on a random DDG. Enough radiation can paralyze a planet's economy and start killing the population off, it's a good way to shut down large planets without having to kill everyone (or do kill everyone with neutron bombs while leaving the factories and such mostly intact for you to steal). Enough dust getting kicked up can do things like lower the average planetary temperature enough that the oceans freeze, increasing the albedo even more, making the temperature drop even more, and now you've got a runaway ice-age freezing everyone to death if there's no infrastructure for them to shelter in. But Earth only took 12 nukes, and small ones at that, so I doubt they'll see anything so drastic. You'd need a much heavier bombardment to kill the planet. Nice explanation, thanks. Does the albedo eventually return to normal?

GunnerJ posted:The bit about this incident from the Facility's point of view indicated that what tried to come through was a corrupted member of its... type? So it's possible what we're seeing here is a non-corrupted version, and that's why facility is so excited. That, along with the sudden compulsion for facility to go into it seems plausible.

You're all taking a weird interpretation of practicable. It means "tell command when you have the chance to to report in without compromising your situation, they'll inform earth" rather than "split off a ship to jump back even if it would cripple your fighting capability". It's supposed to allow leeway so as to prevent slavish adherence from causing harm. It doesn't mean "whenever you feel like it up to and including never". Yes inform earth through appropriate channels once our ships report in.

For squadron jumps, how is the number of additional ships determined? Is it a count, or tonnage limit?
