I just discovered HFY yesterday and for some reason I can't get enough of it right now lol. I'm wondering though, are these stories written or edited by AI in any way? There are lots of little similarities with the storytelling. Like, its often mentioned that "they knew this was just the beginning" - and some other slightly repetitive things within stories that sort of set off my AI alarm. Not that I'm complaining - I've been listening to these all day! Just curious. Thanks for the content.
Not sire how to tell you this, but a planet exploded by artificial means is not going to send a Shockwave through the galaxy. Supernova don't even do this.
So it was the Shockwave for you. Not the aliens😂 it's fiction man. You don't know the cap of the weapon used plus our physics may not calculate to their physics if they even have a physics.
@nkosistrainbullies5806 physics is physics. Everywhere. That's the point. There isn't a different physics somewhere else. To even affect Earth, a supernova would ha e to happen within 150 light years of Earth. We are talking at least a 10 solar mass star literally eating itself inside out in a fraction of a second. Enough energy released that for a few DAYS, a single star outlines its entire host galaxy. Our galaxy is 100,000 light years in diameter. Our average sun converts 400 billion tons of hydrogen to helium every second. Amd. That's a normal burn of first stage fusion in a star. The amount of energy released in a supernova is unfathomable. I mean, you're talking about relativistic infallible speeds and objects that are neutron degenerate. Immovable object and unstoppable force. You could convert an entire planetary mass to pure energy, and it still would not equal what a small supernova puts out. So no, there is no way a planetary self-destruct system is going to send a shockwave across the galaxy. It will barely make other planets in its own system take notice. And yes... it's fiction... but it is SCIENCE fiction. And given the size of the universe the probability of there being ither life asymptotically approaches 1. There is simply too much stuff. 200 billion stars in our galaxy and nearly that many planets. Amd we aren't even the big galaxy in our local group. That would be Andromeda. 20 galaxies in our group. And we are a small group part of the Virgo Supercluster. Which is also a very tiny fraction of the Great Laniakea Supercluster. Even this is a small part of The Great Wall structure. Or going out even further the enormous tendrils and filaments of Galactic neighborhoods filling the known universe (45 billion light years in every direction from Earth.) Hundreds of trillions of galaxies with hundreds of billions of stars each.
They are all crafted from standard scenarios: alien invasion vs earth, one earth warrior vs aliens, interspecies romance, etc. The best are the humerous ones, humans abusing bureacracy to confound galactics, humans revealing actual strength before mocking aliens, humans adapting advanced tech with office or cleaning supplies. My favorite was when the aliens tried to capture a grade school for cultural intimidation, only to be defeated by the spectrum of parental committees, PTA, soccer moms, and bake sale ladies who came to peotect their kids. Grizzly moms are a recurring theme, like the special forces mother who borrowed a starship and ruined three planetary civilizations hunting the pirates who took her kid.
Interesting take on the story, nice tech solutions, if not a little impractical or impossible. Maybe a bit too easy of a fight too. Maybe need a fleet of support ships where some of them can be caught by devastating fire showing off the enemy weapon fire and combat strength, they where kind wet noodles and air balloons not doing much for a ruthless war race that dominated the Galaxy...
Their planet was not in our solar system, it sounded like outside our galaxy? Suns go nova. We barely have equipment to notice it. Plus they are +400 light years away. I don’t think earth would be damaged.
Unlikely to be outside our galaxy. Galaxies really are spectacularly large. Tue, the explosion would probably not have reached us, for sure, but we can see supernova and record them from millions of lightyears away.
Better story than most. Some strategy to the weapons used - although it would have been more interesting if there was more about this. Some character depth but it would have been more engaging if the characters were drawn in more detail, the interactions between the human characters and the interactions between the Dratheon leaders and the human leaders and perhaps even some digression to details about human sailors involved in their specific critical tasks to give a sense of how the humans were fighting and handling the battle.
I like this science fiction it's very good compared how old I am I've seen a lot of science fiction movies in my life science fiction this is good damn good need more
If the Home Planet was like Earth they would not need to hit the core. Just pierce the crust in as many places as possible to release the magma. Actually, one big hit would do. The resultant volcanic eruptions would do the job nicely. (Check out the Deccan Traps.)
Aren't they flying a bit too fast in drone/weapons range? 😆 EDIT: Also, that alien energy weapon would've vaporized a lot since it nearly took out shields that were supposed to withstand star's core.
@@squidgy1973 Well there is the word science in Science Fiction, You know, the thing scientists do. Like determening how suns die and explode and how planets doesn't implode. I'm all for science fiction, I read lots of it in my days, but I think it must be based on science, Otherwise it's just fiction. It must be logical.
@@IainRowley So Human victory is just an accident of history? Nope. The Drathions are depicted repeatedly as having more advanced technology and greater resources. They would have been able to build a far larger fleet of ships far more capable than the Vanguard. It’s a logic hole in the story. Sorry.
@@hemaccabe4292The whole point of a lot of these stories is that aliens do not think like humans, we use methods not obvious to them, which makes sense as they are aliens.
@@squidgy1973 I'm helping the author by providing him with fair critique. He describes the Drathions as having both higher technology and vastly greater resources. If the author wants to say the humans have found some sort of hole in the Drathion technology, that's fine, but he needs to prepare that in the story and hasn't.
I doubt this is all of them. Assume that billions of them still exist in ships that were not part of the fight and colony planets. Go after each one. Don't negotiate. Don't colonize anything taken over. Eliminate and leave.
Has lots of repetition of words, like someone smiling and collective exhale/cheer. Also, blowing up a planet far away in another system won't do shit to damage anything in another star system. Seems like someone (or something) doesn't know how large space really is and how low the odds are of something being launched on a precise trajectory to hit earth.
Sounds like a story written by an 8th grader who has been playing way too much call of duty. Also sounds like one of those stupid internet commercials that goes on for an hour telling you keep watching this video to find out whatever stupid thing it is they use to hook you.
Wait, the power of the explosion would've reached earth, yet the power of the cannons can only blow up an *unprepared* fleet? Seems to me they didn't have the priorities straight in design the weapon. In any case, that must have the power of a Quasar or Blazear to affect earth from literally thousands, if not, millions of Light years away.
What a charming and optimistic description of genocide. Perhaps you're not aware of this, but the vast majority of the inhabitants of Planet Earth are rather against this sort of thing. But maybe I'm being too judgemental. If you would be willing to write a prequel that would provide the reader with greater context? Pray tell, whatever could those mean, terrible Dratheons have done to warrant such an extreme measure? Give me SOMETHING to root for. And please, I have worked around heavy equipment and IT all of my life, and NOTHING ever works as well as our weapons did in this ... uhhh ... story. Get real. No last-minute glitches, no unexpected enemy counter-measures, not even a broken fingernail --- my trips to the grocery store are more exciting.
As a scifi fan I thought these stories would be nice to listen to, however there's no depth. Every story hinges on humans being perfect soldiers/sailors/warfighters, the human means & methods of warfighting being completely unknown to advance alien foes, allies being too passive, civilized & dim in their thinking to be effective & the overwhelming superior alien enemy always being easy to defeat with trickery & boldness. Not sure what the point of these stories are. There's no growth or deployment of any characters, just humans flexing on alien cultures. Not sure if the author has ever looked at our society or ever served in the military, but that's not how any of us act. Yes, the military plans a lot (especially US which these stories seemed to use as a template), but does not mean when the military enters an engagement it just waltz's in & out shine's everyone in the room.
Too little struggle, too much hyperbole, broad stoked "white wash", science presented like "Magic", and plot armor so thick the story cannot contain it even if it was a novel.
So many of these stories make me think that these AI writers must have been been trained with Warhammer 40k books... 😂
The Men of iron are busy writing stories to entertain the citizens of the imperium
these stories are better than woke movies
AI certainly likes the words “precision” and “efficiency”
Production Note: Audio Decreased 50% at about 20:50... No apparent Alien influence...

To have damaged Earth, I'm guessing the Drathion sector is somewhere inside the troposphere. I mean, shockwaves don't travel in a vacuum 😂😂😂

This is what happens when you draw the attention of a species from a Class-14 Deathworld.

The goal of war should never be genocide. This is why allowing AI to make decisions even creative ones is dangerous.
