'Kapřík' Supermassive Cargo Freighter
i enjoy building these platforms too much
with a whopping 16 engines (some of which are epic/rare), it is capable of a tremendous 2,5GN of thrust, pushing this hefty 1 947 ton beast to a reliable 273,05km/s
Tumblr media
each wing producing 1800/s of each thruster fuel type, it should be capable of sustaining full thrust for an indefinite period (as long as it is kept fully supplied with water/iron ore/carbon)[and you use 16 normal-quality thrusters lmao]
the main cargo hold also has a capacity of 899 item slots, which can be further increased with quality cargo bays
Tumblr media
the main asteroid processing center, not much to say about it. just dont use the advanced processing recipes too much since they're actually less efficient for producing water/carbon/iron ore (i didnt check that beforehand?? fortunately it wasnt hard to revert some crushers back to the original recipes)[i had to due to a lack of water production and excessive calcite production]
Tumblr media
the thick boy, the nuclear reactor placed scarily close to the front, the ore smelter and ammo/rocket production center.
9 piercing ammo assemblers and 6 rocket assemblers should be enough right???!! so far i havent had any problems yet :DD
it might be massively overbuilt, and i will probably never use the 900 slot capacity of this beast
the Kapřík will initially be used for personal transport to Aquilo, but will later serve as a universal hauler of all planetary exports to make quantum processors on Aquilo (considering they need one final product from each planet)
fun facts:
the kapřík takes its name from the czech word for carp :)
my original inspiration for the build was the imperial cutter from elite dangerous, however the initial finished build just looked like a massive penis so i had to flatten it
Tumblr media
the new hammerhead shape also probably helps with faster asteroid acquisition, and makes sure the south wings dont get any head on collisions with asteroids

A weird trope I really like is Space Platforms
My working definition of a Space Platform is something that satisfies all of these criteria:
Artificial
Terrain (used primarily as a surface to stand and/or build on )
Suspended in space or high in the sky
Despite objective local gravity such that you could fall “down” off the side
Some things that are and aren’t Space Platforms
Stacraft’s Space Platform terrain, probably the purest example of it:
Tumblr media
You walk on them, you build buildings on them, and there’s ice cream shops built into the walls (also they’re literally called space platforms):
Tumblr media
Wube had planned on but eventually abandoned space platforms for Factorio that are very clearly inspired by Starcraft:
Tumblr media
Gryphon Station in Tyrian has standing water and jungles exposed to the Space Air:
Tumblr media
Motos I’m pretty sure explicitly refers to the environment as a series of space platforms; there’s no buildings (unless you count Nabicons) but the platforms are clearly artificial, they’re thin enough that the only thing you can do is stand (and jump) on them, and the objective of the game is to shove enemies off the platform and into the void:
Tumblr media
Skyroads consists of driving and jumping a space car along treacherous space platforms:
Tumblr media
Final Destination in Smash Bros.:
Tumblr media
They seem to be a lot more common in games than in other media, but they’re out there. Most famously probably is The Jetsons:
Tumblr media
The truck stop in Spaceballs is a fantastic space platform:
Tumblr media
The Wander Over Yonder episode “The Box” has people milling about on space platforms (but contrast with “Duck Dodgers In The 24½th Century” later):
Tumblr media
The ring city from Treasure Planet is a weird one because it’s the only one I’ve encountered that doesn’t have a uniform up and down, but unlike the rotating space stations it’s meant to evoke, you still experience objective gravity while standing on your ship next to it
Tumblr media
And last, close to my heart is the floating platform “Cool Lightning” from the lost comic Monster Killers (which was heavily influenced by video games):
Tumblr media
Now for some things that are not Space Platforms, even though they’re great in their own ways.
1) Floating Islands (they’re terrain, but not artificial terrain):
Tumblr media Tumblr media
2) The RLS Legacy from Treasure Planet and other tall ships in space (vehicles, not terrain):
Tumblr media
3) Buildings with lots of interior volume and no walkable surfaces, such as these buildings in The Jetsons:
Tumblr media
and the Cloud City in Star Wars:
Tumblr media
4) Artificial terrain that relies on centrifugal artificial gravity, such as Ringworld, the Halo Installations, O’Neill Cylinder, Stanford Torus, etc. These more or less obey real world physics and aren’t magically levitating, and while you could “fall off” one, you aren’t affected by gravity unless you’re standing on the surface:
Tumblr media
And now for some borderline cases.
Neverhood. Hoborg constructed it, but does his divinity mean that it’s natural rather than artificial? Aesthetics are more “floating island” than “space platform” but the lore points the other way:
Tumblr media
Death Egg and Doomsday Zones in Sonic & Knuckles. The interior seems to contain most of the important stuff, but Sonic spends most of the time running around on the exterior:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The walkways in Duck Dodgers In The 24½th Century. They’re very similar to the Wander Over Yonder platforms, but they’re not extensive enough that I’m happy calling them “terrain.” Space Balconies maybe.

here’s my potato vulcanus transport platform, figuring out an efficient design for something that (should) survive a space trip is fun tbh!! i have not yet tested if this will get me to vulcanus safely so i’ll hope for the best :D

Anyway. Bi and Mspec Lesbians aren't a hotly "debated" topic or even new to queer culture, it's just the newest thing that bullies who REALLY want to be homophobic and even racist use to justify harassing gay people they don't like.
It's the thinnest possible veneer of progressive language wrapped around TERF and reactionary rhetoric so that they can feel righteous for forming an angry mob against vulnerable targets. If you're gullible enough to fall for the newest wave of bigotry within the queer community, and turn on your allies because they're "confusing" or "invading your spaces," the SAME way they turned on bi/pan labels, trans people, xenogenders, neopronouns, and aroace people before this, then get lost.
#No patience. Wither and rot.#These motherfuckers dogpiled the legend who leaked the no fly list because it identified as the wrong type of lesbian.#They will attack the people doing DIRECT ACTION over dumbfuck label discourse. Deeply unserious people.#Embarrassing to think that there are rubes out there who keep falling for this#For ALL our sakes I hope this is literally their first rodeos and they really haven't fallen for this bullshit twice.#But unfortunately I'm too old to be that hopeful.#I didn't get to see the big ''public block list'' made for us dirty queers who support or are bi/mspec lesbians but I hope I was on it#If a man is best judged by his enemies then exclusionists who echo terf rhetoric are the ones I WANT to have.#And ''public lesbian block list'' is in quotes because if you REALLY thought that such a thing wasn't a ''GO HARASS THESE PEOPLE'' charter-#--then you have a black mold where your brain used to be and it's rapidly eating into the bathroom tile you call a skull#Unironically you should not have a platform if you are THAT stupid or malicious to think it was anything BUT a harassment charter#I hope they're ashamed.#Context for those unaware: a flesh-eating amoeba created a public blocklist for people who supported bi lesbians#Minors and extremely small creators without big platforms were on that list#People got harassed but the most namely was Lockandkeyhyena who had people raiding his server with racial slurs and death threats.#I hope everyone involved sees who their ''allies'' are when they spread that sentiment.#A bunch of people ACTUALLY 'invading someone's space' to post the n-word and suicidebait.#THAT is who you appeal to. Sit with that.

Happy indie Animation Day!!
Kinoko the kuparkuke is the protagonist for our indie, 2D metroidvania game set in outer space, currently in development by a small team of two from the UK.
We love video games and animation and we look forward to see what other people have to show!

fulgora!!??
i modified my carrier platform "Vulkánus 2" to compensate for the decreased solar efficiency in Fulgoran orbit, thus came to be the "Fulgorál" platform
Tumblr media
however on it's second trip to Fulgora, it has failed and is unable to return to Nauvis
i needed a platform to reliably carry my stuff from Nauvis to Fulgora and back, and possibly be capable of Vulcanus or Gleba transport aswell
thus i present to you the "Nervóz" heavy carrier platform
Tumblr media
taking it's name from the NERVA nuclear rocket engine, it includes a thick 40MW nuclear reactor.
it will serve as a mass transport carrier platform with it's 379 slots of carrying capacity
it has a peak thrust of 918MN and a top speed of 239.27km/s (although it's able to maintain this only during the first half of the flight)
will update later on its reliability :3
the blueprint string is way too long to post here, so dm me if you wanna use this in your own game

At this point, talks about "mutilated bodies" tell me everything I need to know about people's politics. I truly don't believe you can combine the idea of mutilated or degenerate bodies with anything even slightly progressive in terms of autonomy. If you believe yourself to be progressive or anything left of an unapologetic fascist, you frankly cannot truly entertain the idea that some bodies and people are inherently mutilated or degenerate. It is an inherently fascist idea.

i’m confused. you are a huge fan of pjo characters right? so how do you sit there and not call out a problem? you claim percy to be smart, but when rick writes about percy being an idiot and annabeth deeming him as one for an entire book, you are fine with that? youre fine with how she was shocked at him being smart? why are you pretending like everything is fine? inlike most of us, you have a platform. you can reach people. the only way to make things change is to speak up. aka the only way for rick to change is if we tell him what’s wrong. just like we told him to represent nico better and he did.
it is not okay for him to write annabeth like he did. he butchered her character and make her treat percy terribly. the annabeth haters are going to actually get a platform now. you have to call rick out!!
I think there’s been a misunderstanding. I haven’t said Percy’s portrayal as unintelligent is a good thing — I just haven’t had the chance to share a full review yet. I actually agree with you that it’s disappointing how often Rick makes Percy the butt of jokes about his intelligence, and I think Percy (and Annabeth) deserves better representation too. But it feels like your message is coming at me as though I’m opposed to this view, when I’m not. I also want to highlight that I’m just one person, and while I appreciate passionate discussions about representation, I don’t appreciate being spoken to in a confrontational way, especially when we’re on the same side. I support speaking up when things need to change, but it’s important to approach these conversations respectfully.
