Baron Bifford posted:I know what the fluff says, but what purpose did the writers have in mind to establish that in the first place? Why did they decide that EDIs and HAL 9000s were unsuitable for their particular vision of the 41st millennium? It was just so that they could use servitors? Keeps the base level of technology down too. No AIs to help with research, meaning dudes in armour still use hand weapons and prey before replacing a spark plug. Enough on that though

Arquinsiel posted:There's a short story in an old Citadel Journal or Inferno! I have lying around somewhere that actually goes into some detail about one pressganged dude's time on a ship, he works out how many people there are on the ship by counting his gun crew and some other ship knowledge. That story also has an arco-flagellant in too IRC

Impaired Casing posted:This is what's bothering me. I was all set to buy it, only to find out it's 16 bucks plus whatever little fee I get to convert US dollars to euros. And you know the only reason they do not offer a non enhanced edition is because no one would buy the enhanced edition if there was a cheaper one. Seriously, 16 bucks is more than I spend on actual, physical books. Pretty much all non indie kindle sci fi ebooks cost that in Australia
