Well, I have a web site in the works, another crappy frontpage one (I hate WYSIWYG editors, but I am too lazy to go all HTML, and I can make it... Prettier) but I should probably publish it soon, maybe friday (the 3rd I think...). It won't be complete, but I will get the drawings up. But DIrtie commie, Early in stories I often create characters with a quick description regarding emmotions (eg. the commander in the Taking Tritus story) who I had orriginally plotted to bge a cold person, who became the friendly commander who usually dies on mission three in most games... I didn't think this one would go over too well actually, and I considered it my worst story yet, which is why I shot him down...

Nice, as always. I always feel like you know what you're talking about. Like here:
"He was a cowboy type, already showing rogue blood in him, something that the Marin Corps had no room for until this war. Wars since about 2050 have been as simple as a series of assassinations or black ops attacks, sometimes requiring a surgical strike at most. "
:)

The only thing I had a problem with is-like you said-the pilot didn't have a whole lot of emotion, and I feel that in 1st person, there should be a lot of emotion, cuz its YOU. Anyways, great job.

really?! thats awesome. i, like you, tried to dream up a society living on saturns multiple moons. and its really fun to create it in a realistic and functional way. in my head, i have a lot of my ideas laid out. ive always wanted to draw my weapons and buildings out but i cant draw for beans. if u have any concept designs, send them in!

Yeah, isolationism s great! But I actually have some masps, and other things from this story. I have drawwings of every vehicle and confusing structure, and I have many other things like that. I have reasons behind everything, Lunar 4 for being the fourth planet with moons found, and other stuff. Maybe I should ask Louis to psot them into my next story... But yeah, I will at least post them on my site soon...

you may or may not know/remember but a few months ago i had a debate about the validity of STANDARD time. that doesnt make sense, but for a small orbital configuration like the one you created, thats cool.

I created a world, not a universe.. The rest can go screw itself, It's Lunar 4, Nepike and Narcos taht I worry about... I try to make an original story, and this is just one more way I guess, but I don't want to wake up at 5 PM universal time...

good work man. sweet dialogue, no second-hand words here. "7:43 a.m. L4E (Lunar 4 Eastern)" although most will disagree with me, i think ur time keeping method is much more PRACTICAL than universal time, cause its one BIG universe. And the chaff idea for the counters were good. thats new, all i ever thought of was firing counter explosives to detonate incoming bogies but its better....financially....ur way. does the chaff disrupt onboard systems too?

Also, crypticly, perhaps marking failure of this story (I am a supersticious person...) was posted at 9:11...

Wow, and this one was what I believed was my worst one yet. I really didn't put in too much emotion at all from the pilot, mainly all pretty literal...

Good job. I like the first person perspective - it gives you a sense of being in the pilot's shoes during a battle. Keep up the good work. I look forward to the next chapter.
