The Starship Design Bureau has a problem: they’ve been too damn good at their jobs. The Excelsior-class was a once-in-a-century design, integrating advanced propulsion, science, and tactical systems into a spaceframe so robust and serviceable it borders on perfection. Initially it was meant to...

The year is 2243, station Zeta 2 has finally come online proving that the subsequence wormhole system worked through the interstellar medium. The old Stellar Rail network was important for sending out new ships or mass material transport that didn't mind taking the STL path instead of the far...

The planet of Temaris is located in the Mid Rim, down the Corellian Run. To get there, one must turn off the Run and take a small jump towards the local hyperspace route named The Angel’s Passage. Temaris had seen better days. It was still suffering from the big Mid Rim Economy Crash fifty years...

Building the Future You have had a good war. A war that was fought on the home front with degrees rather than with guns, a war of laboratories and theories and bureaucracy that’s given you a reputation in the government and contacts in the capital. Rather than the great global war that the...

From the window, you have a perfect view of Temaris, your homeworld. Even if you have spent more time up here on the starship yards of your family than down there, you still appreciate the view. Most of the time, you’re down there for parties and a bit of your education that hadn’t been centered...

Good morning! As you probably know, when we move SV to XF2 - hopefully in only about a month - many things will be changing. One of those thing will be the rating icons. Right now, SV's rating icons - the little things at the bottom of a post for like, hugs, what have you - are 16x16 pixel...

The Ascendant Hierarchy reigns supreme. It reigns over countless star systems and more than a thousand worlds. Its enemies fall before its might sooner or later and its territory continues to expand outward in glorious conquest. Under the leadership of Emperor Gardolf and House Kaiser, the...

How does one actually write and run something like, say, a CK2 quest? Is there a wiki which compares different rulesets used for doing this? Is there a general guide on how to do this sort of endeavor I'm especially interested in, at the very least, seeing example quests that are empire...

This discussion, as it often happens, was started with an offhand comment in one of the quests. That prompted a responce. (quotes anonymized because I don't know if people want to continue talking about those points) I've been criticized: I've been supported: I've seen statements even more...

You’ve done it. Graduated! Succeeded! Beaten the unholy slog that was university! Bloody well took long enough. But all the work, the aggravating classmates, the ever-ongoing stress... oof. But now you're out. It had been a tough choice, several years ago, deciding to attend… [] University of...

Relevant article. It seems like this company is going for a medium between minimum size, minimum cost rockets like Rocket Lab's Electron and major, multi-ton payload rockets, aiming for a 10 million dollar rocket that can lift a bit more than 1 ton by 2020. I'm pretty skeptical of the 2020...

Welcome to the first official Sufficient Velocity Alternate History Flag Thread I! To start off, here's a redesign I made for Illinois. It's based on the Illinois centennial flag created by Wallace Rice in 1918. The original symbolism - modified a bit - reads as follows. The white on the...

It came up recently in the 'Controversial Gaming Opinions' thread that we don't really have anywhere to perform substantive analysis of video games as a whole. As such, I'm creating this thread for the purposes of analyzing what makes games tick. While what makes a good game is arguably as...
