Quote:I've lost about .2G of maximum grav tolerance, but the gains in speed were well worth it, I think.You say this now, but just wait until you land in a harder sci-fi setting where the ships have minimal or no inertial compensation... Although, the fact you'll probably be able to magic something up to handle that on your own with g-mana would probably more than make up for that. I'm picturing you in Honorverse now, adding a couple dozen Gs max accel to one of the ships at a critical juncture, and it's a pretty kickass vision. You could help quite a bit in the second half of the prison planet sequence without actually stealing the show from Honor herself, given this and what's already been discussed with your gravity powers. Of course, gravity detection is a standard sensor technology there, so they'd be readily able to track any time you used it, and I kind of doubt even Mr. A-or-nuthin' would be able to shield against starship-grade weaponry that moves at lightspeed or a significant fraction thereof.
Sustained, relatively normal performance at 4.8g is nothing to sneeze at though, and you probably could still pull off the intended tricks via relatively simple g-mana spellwork, given that the "sit, boy" effect happens automatically when a targeted spell hits.
Also, entire months of no physical concerns, to read and advance your projects via wetware sims and thinkin'? I'm so jealous.
On previous numbers, well, Juunana-go was always kind of an ass but you killed Jinzouningen Juuhachi-go too! Grrr. IOW, I see what you did there.
So has Sette been decanted while you were in for maintenance, or are you in time for the second little sister's birthday? (Unless Quattro was finished first this time around.)
