I loved the "Cure for cancer causes autism" comment!! 🤣🤣🤣
This could be a full series of aiding the Mari in their war against the bugs!
Awesome play off of Starship Troopers "would you like to know more?"
"because fuck bugs, that's why." Beautiful.
That made me laugh out loud!
I love the human ship being called the "Cavalry" and the fact that you could then say "....the Cavalry charged in...." Lol.
Edited for spelling
Dude.
It's the cavalry.
Not the Calvary.
They're two different words which have nothing to do with one another.
@@themarlboromandalorian My bad for the spelling error and yes, you are correct. I haven't noticed. I've corrected the spelling.
Waiting for one of the authors to name a ship "Cry Havoc" and load it with human space Marines
Brilliant!
soooooooooooooooooooooo, they send designs for a corvette, and we send a full size battleship......... sounds about right ;p
I was waiting for the Cavalry Captain to issue the order "bug spray at the ready!" Of course bug spray is no use in space, hence a nuke or three. Great story, thanks.
or a chemical weapon maybe?
120,500tons? There are cruise ships bigger than that.
The story did talk about new materials. Maybe a super light weight metal or something?
well this is space travel not water
Maybe a ‘Space’ ton… the sT 🤔
sT: The weight of a standardized asteroid confirming to a set of established dimensions and components.
Yes, that sT! A 120,500 sT big ship 😎
Given that if you divide that by 16 you get around 7,500. That difference isn't too far removed from the largest surface warship designs (that have any real merit) and some of the smaller ones still worthy of being called a warship. 7500 tons might be a destroyer today, but it was a cruiser in the past, who is to say it won't be a corvette in the future.
Also, the biggest commercial ships utterly dwarf the biggest warships. The biggest warships are American supercarriers, around 100,000 tons of displacement. The biggest commercial ship ever made was around 650,000 tons displacement, note: displacement, not deadweight or gross tonnage. (it was scrapped 15 years ago, and idk what the biggest currently is)
food for thought: The gross tonnage of that 650k ton ship was only around 250k tons. Gross tonnage is about internal volume and tbh might make more sense for spaceships, since displacement is specifically about how much water a ship displaces. So if that 120,500 tons was gross tonnage, when thinking in terms of displacement it could be maybe 350k tons. Granted displacement and deadweight tonnage are about mass, gross tonnage and gross register tonnage (different from gross tonnage) are about internal volume. So both types of measurements have their place in a spaceship. It really only remains to choose which to use if one wants to use an existing unit.
edit: Between the 1940s and the late 1960s, USN aircraft carriers a bit more than doubled in size. E.g. the USS Midway when launched weighed in at 45k tons. USS Nimitz, laid down in 68 and finally launch in 72, came in at around 100k tons. USS John F. Kennedy, the newest carrier launched in 2019 (still being fitted out and not in active service yet) weighs the same. I.e. in some things, even when bigger is better, there is still a size that is ideal.
Different materials with diferent weight due to less density.
Also space ships are not design to be on a planet, should you use a submarine in space? No because it was designen to withstand his own weight and extreme pressure from the water... not the same design.
Great story. Humanity wins due to an error in translation. That's good stuff!
Human flagship. Surely only needed to be build once.
🚀🏴☠️🎸
oh you can be sure a second ships was done in the 4 mos it took them to get there wit all the glitches worked out
Love the name of the aliens Māori and x16 size the normal size.
Neat. Like the theme. Enjoyed it.😊
"so much empty space on the hull, ready to be stuffed with guns." god that's an American sentence.
The Cavalry is charging to the rescue.
Possibly Canadian as we know there responsible for most of the Geneva convention
no such thing as overkill when it comes to enemies change our mind
Excellent!
Lol ! Size does matter 😂😂 !
They should have sent Baygon Insecticide spray drones..
If you meant to build a 1x1x1 cube, but built it 16x16x16 it's got 4096x the volume.
Humans accidentally built a whole fleet in one ship. Lol.
I love this 😂
THAT'S what she said🙄😉
🤷🏻♂️
Somebody had to say it,
I'll show myself out🫣
Starship troopers?
Nice one
hello storyteller I sit here listening to your story smoking some weed the story movie me thank you for a very good story Man bye...
Lordy starship trooper back story
If all the measurements were accidentally multiplied by 16, then the trip to their planet should have taken just over 3 weeks, not 4 months 😂
Ok dad no need to bring your Calc and drafting board to story time
Jerry forgot to carry the 3.
If your mass is 16 times larger, your speed will not increase using the same engine as one 16 times smaller.
