I'd ask if that needle was a tad excessive but knowing you as I do through your other material I get the impression you'd say no.

I'm not dead yet. Just busy with trying to get my own writing done. Decent variant off the Kera-Tech Light Glitterboy. But how dare you steal the Samaritan name off of the CS Medic SAMAS? I know I sent that design to you, ya schmuck

I'd be interested in seeing your Glitterboy or even this medic Samas of yours if you have any of your stuff posted someplace?

I try, I try to come up with original names, but 'General Generic Name Syndrome' strikes again!
But naming it after a famous paramedic gave me only a few names, of which the most distinctive , -Dominique Jean Larrey-, is a little awkward and I'd like to save 'Larrey' for a flying hover ambulance.
But in-universe? To the CS: recieve one raspberry.
The Raven wrote:I don't think many of my older designs are posted anywhere anymore. The SAMAS units I did are in the process of being redone for one of my Rifter submissions, so I won't be reposting those again for quite a while. As to Kera-Tech, reposting the designs from that day and age would require some revamping, since the writing I did then was, shall we say, not quite to my standards now. I'm older, wiser, and much pickier now about my writing. It would also require posting a lot of backstory on Kera-Tech, Montro Bay, the Pacific War, and the races that are the core of Kera-Tech. The various designs might also throw people for a loop, since I was tending towards 'realistic' weapons (the M-2150XL that Talis based this medic GB off of was armed with a heavy hitting cadmium-telluride pellet fed plasma cannon for example).

I don't think Talis will shoot you... too many times. Kera-Tech was based out of Montro Bay, which was the post cataclysm version of Monterrey Bay, California.

I apologize for bringing it up again.

In real life the gyrojet could have revolutionized weaponry quite easily had the manufacturer's contracted ammunition people been able to understand that there should be quality control... Awful hard to spin stabilize a round when one of the three ports on the ammo is blocked.

Yep, accuracy was the problem, and considering they were testing the weapons in Vietnam, where muck and clog were the order of the day, clogged vent ports in the ammunition would be a common problem.
Of course, with Rifts Earth, any society capable of manufacturing MDC materials would find it easy to have computer-controlled quality, especially when it came to micromachining, hyper-accurate round balancing in production, and the implementation of exotic materials(like the low cost permanent 'dry' lubricant surfacing I'm so fond of) and dust-repellent materials.

Well, it left the factory with one exhaust nacelle clogged up in several batches. Though the jungle and climate couldn't have helped... but if it had been made to spec I'm sure it would have performed better. I've seen one of the guns in person at a gun show and a couple of rounds of ammunition... Couldn't convince the guy to let me shoot it though then again, until someone brings out modern production batches of the ammunition its quite likely that what's extant is all that will ever exist so I can understand his reluctance.

I did see somewhere on the net about a project group that was taking .50 cal rounds and converting them into gyro jet rounds, resurrecting the design. Not sure what happened to the group or where I saw it now. They were experimenting with a couple different propellants though.

Better living through chemistry. And 'Rocket Gun' just sounds so fantastic.

These days, 'the Alliance' is an informal open door and extended handshake to anybody who wants to use my toys. setting, and ideas.

Besides, a piece of fiction detailing some of the uplifted civilizations being informed of Hoyt's crimes and future for their people. Much crossover speculation and stories could happen, after all, Hoyt did visit multiple timeline of numerous universes we humans regard today as fiction. Could it also be that fanfiction/fanon is also a multiverse in itself? Despite Interdee's safeguard and warnings, Hoyt did his homework and did roughly equal good and harm.
Fandom organizations could stand out such as Bronies Allied Across the Megaverse. (B.A.A.M.)
Something to think about...

While I admit that some of my designs are powerful I wasn't trying to be the kid with the best toys. I was simply making designs that I liked. At some point in the future I'll probably revise them to reign in their power. One fighter design, the Cerberus-class Heavy Assault Fighter, makes use of a micro-singularity weapon which should probably be a capital ship only weapon. My other fighters have other issue like too many weapons, excessive MDC values, an engine that should only be on bigger ships, or any number of other problems.
