"You really think it'll be that easy?"

You shrug.

"Who knows? The more complicated your plans, the more likely they are to fail. It's better to improvise on the spot, if you ask me."

"That's a fancy way of saying you don't have the proper equipment or a real plan for this."

"Well, unless you two have a better idea?"

"No, i just... ah, damn it. You're right, i'm sure it'll be fine. I'm sorry, i've just lost my nerve a bit."

"Woohoo, now this is gonna be an adventure!"

"Alright, calm down. Now if we do this right he'll never know what hit him. I know we've only got one laser on this ship, but i've been looking at how shields work and i think i know what to do.
We're gonna creep up real slow like. Slow enough that his shields don't react to us, see?"

"Oh lord, no."

"And then we're gonna shove our modest little laser right up his tailpipe!"

"That's so stupid! What if he detects us?! He could be armed to the teeth!"

"Don't worry, i'll be in the cockpit, piloting the ship manually-"

"THAT'S EVEN WORSE! Do you even know how to pilot a ship?!"

"Sure! Everything out here is so simple that it makes flying a chopper look like rocket science."

"And what's a chopper, exactly?"

"Eh, don't worry about it. Just suffice to say, you'd never get on one if you saw it. And they've got a really weird control scheme. Anyways, i have some "experience" with this type of thing, so don't worry about it."

"I don't like how you said "experience" just now."

"It was just your imagination. Now then, Cylia and i need to go shopping for personal shields. Kyla, can you get us fueled up in the meantime?"

"Sure thing, Captain!"

...

A few hours later and you've managed to get yourself the second shittiest pair of shields money can buy. Only rated for light phaser fire, but still better than nothing!
Kyla meanwhile managed to get a deal through one of her contacts and ended up refueling the ship completely, although she also paid an extra thousand credits out of her own pocket to do so.
Meaning that now, besides Kyla, everyone is broke.

"Alright boys, it's starting to get late. Is there anything else that we might consider before boarding? I have a few ideas, but i can't make them work without cash."

"What kinds of ideas?"

"Flashbangs. It's a type of grenade that blinds and deafens the target."

"...What's a grenade?"

"Oh for the love of- IT'S A BOMB! You throw it by hand, and it explodes! And don't tell me it's crazy, because i already know!"

"Sounds interesting, actually!"

"Oh, Kyla... not you too?"

"I don't know how the real ones work, but it can't be too difficult to make something similar. All it needs is a small explosive charge and a bunch of magnesium powder, i think."

"Oh wow... i could work with this! Your ship's fab can do metals and chemicals, right? I'll have a design done in under an hour!"

"Alright. Just one thing, no electronics. I want a fully mechanical pull-pin design."

"You really know how to speak my language, David!"

True. Don't try to fuck a boulder though, please. Even if it has a meaty center.

>>4866227
Cylia isn't that small and Kyla looks pretty sturdy.
On the other hand, the human phallus is absolutely massive compared to what our closest relatives in nature are equipped with. Also no barbs.

>>4866282
Also David got a 20 on a d20, so he's packing some shmeat.

>>4866303
Did the QM of StarWars quest say he dropped the quest because of horni posters demanding cunny?

>>4866303
Why did he leave, still don’t know.

Also I agree on keeping the horny posting down

>>4866215
Was the first thread saved in suptg?

>>4866306
You could try.

>>4866303
Being a horny little shit is also a form of engagement.
Just to be clear though, i won't be writing any smut, and this isn't going to end in a harem.
David only wants a single partner. He's the sort that wouldn't get remarried if his wife died.

>>4866303
"Fuck" is literally in the name of the Quest.
What did you expect?

>>4866313
I don’t think it was?

>>4866314
David based in every way
>>4866316
Solid point
>>4866320
Lemme do it quickly then

>>4866314
time to marry the catgirl then

>>4866314
After the neccessary prepararions the time comes to merge all the waifu candidates into one amalgation in mad scientist style

>>4866215
Get to know our crew a bit better. I have a goodnidea we know what makes Stalker tick, but what is Kyla besides a gearhead? We should learn a bit about where they come from and what they want out of life besides shiny mechanical things and generic success.

>>4866286
Mmm... piure. Delicioso y es una excelente fuente de yodo. It is expensive however, very much so!

>>4866330
Happy marriage arc comes at the end
>>4866345
We should get to know them better considering we met them like half an hour ago in universe.

David should invest in deployable tracking beacons for ships and possibly find a way to hack the alien PDAs.

>>4866314
>David only wants a single partner. He's the sort that wouldn't get remarried if his wife died
Dam I feel this

>>4866393
invest in bacon instead

>>4866433

>>4866330
Why? If we must choose a waifu from available options, Kyla is more fun, more useful, more culturally-similar, and probably more physically-compatible.

Honestly, I like catgirls and goblin shortstacks, but there's no reason to wed either of 'em. Maybe a roll in the hay if we get pent up in space, but anything else is premature.

>>4866489
>>4866496
I was one of them, it's really annoying when you can barely tell who you are.

Did we get the toilets remodeled? What do you do to even bathe in space? I assume the spaceship is semi decent at recycling matter, so even trash/waste can at least be repurposed into something we sell I suppose?

>>4866525
Seconding investigating this.

Also, I'm the same anon as >>4866345 (hjGoK3Tw). Was out and about.

>>4866485
HItting the ship with a torpedo that then launches a beacon that drills/embeds onto the ship THEN triggers only after an hour seems like an interesting move.

Wonder if there's a chemical calculation computer on board. If we could figure out oxidizers for explosives, we'd be doing some crazy things.

>>4866525
The toilets definitely need remodeled. The current ones are thoroughly unpleasant to use.
Since there's gravity on the ship, you could just have a normal bathroom.

>>4866652
psst, what is a good toilet in space without the risk of prolapse?

>>4866666
As expected of Ultra-Satan.

>>4866666
ah, ultra instinct satan, how is hell going?

>>4866666
Better question, what the hell do we use for tp? And don't give me BS about the 3 seashells!

>>4866652
Sounds like the aays turn off gravity to conserve power and/or be lazy whenever they can.
>>4867071
That's probably why there's a vacuum. No wood for making paper in space. Might be the time to consider a bidet like those Japanese toilets.

>>4866215

The next couple of days are spent preparing and getting to know eachother a little better. In that time, you hunt down a single punk for grocery money, but not much else happens.

"So Kyla, what's your home planet like?"

"Uhmmm... swampy, i guess? There are really big trees covering most of the planet's surface, so not a lot of light reaches the ground and a ton of moisture gets trapped. It's kind of cold there compared to a lot of places."

"Do i need to turn up the AC for you?"

"Nah, that kind of thing is normal. There's plenty of medicines you can take to regulate your body temperature! What about your planet, though?"

"It's varied. There are ice caps at the poles, frozen tundras, burning deserts, vast oceans, rotten swamps, green forests and overgrown jungles, endless plains and towering mountains..."

"Holy cow! How unstable is your climate and geography?!"

"I don't really have a frame of reference to tell you. We have powerful earthquakes all the time. Fires rage across some areas of the planet regularly, and the coasts are popular places to live due to their beauty, but every year there's this thing called "hurricane season" in which storms hundreds of miles wide form off the coast and reduce huge swaths of the coast to rubble. The area that i lived in has a different issue, tornadoes. When the weather is just right, huge winds will gather in the sky and turn on their sides, creating a funnel-shaped cloud that rips apart trees and buildings, sucking them into the sky. The most powerful ones can have windspeeds in excess of 300mph, and they'll rip the soil from the earth itself. Nobody survives a direct hit from one of those."

Kyla and Cylia both stare at you in dumbfounded shock for over a minute. The look in your eyes and on your face tells them you're not joking.

"How? How do you live there? And why? Isn't there somewhere safer?"

"We live there because that's where our families lived. We stay because it's normal to us. A risk that we accept as part of our lives. After all, what are we supposed to do about it? You can't stop nature."

"How many people do you lose to to your weather every year?"

"Couple dozen from tornadoes every year. With earthquakes, it depends. Sometimes a few hundred, sometimes a few thousand... sometimes hundreds of thousands."

"What...?"

"How can hundreds of thousands of humans die in a single year from earthquakes?"

"It's usually a single earthquake, or a series of them. My world isn't equally developed all over, you see. Some places, like my home country, are capable of "space travel", but others are full of people who live in houses made of stick and mud, who don't even know how to read. And if they live on or near the coast, well..."

"Tsunamis... The Caithan homeworld has little land, mostly desert, but a lot of that lies below sea level. Our ancestors built artificial mountains to block off the sea, but there are stories of great floods that sunk our ancestral lands entirely... "

>>4867099
We should tell them about Godzilla, just for safe measures.

>>4867099
we should tell them about the cold war

>>4867099
I think they need to hear about our greatest natural calamity, mosquitos.

>>4867219
If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid.

>>4867219
Not really. Like all things it turns out to be capitalism gone wrong. Some US businessmen wanted to sell the US lots of nukes, so they told the US that Russia was totally making tons of nukes and they needed lots of nukes. Then Russia reacted to the US making tons of nukes to stop the nukes that Russia didn't have yet.

I wouldn't worry about shapeshifters, Anon. Haha!

>>4867563
Well I mean sure but the story of The Thing is pretty lacklustre when told through words rather than a visual medium.

>>4867099

"I'm sorry to hear about that, Cylia. It sounds a lot like what earth is going through right now."

"It's happening on earth too?"

"Kind of. I don't know if it's that extreme. See, we've been digging up billion year old coal... er, carbon deposits and burning them for fuel, releasing all that into the air as carbon dioxide, which traps heat from our sun and warms up the whole planet. More energy in the system means worse weather, so all that stuff i talked about before, well, except the earthquakes, it's getting worse."

"I see. So the change wasn't noticed until it was already too late?"

"Oh, no. We noticed. In fact we're still doing it right now. Me personally, i'm a big advocate for nuclear power instead. It's safe as long as you don't fucking cheap out."

"...What do you mean "Nuclear" power?"

"Meaning you take some unstable elemental metals, purify them into a big enough lump that they start heating up from their own internal radiation, then poke at it to make it angry so it gives off more heat. Then you just capture that heat and use it to generate energy! It's way, way more efficient than burning carbon for power, but people are afraid of it because there have been a few... accidents."

"Don't tell me. I don't want to imagine what you idiots might have done with something that dangerous."

"The core melted and exploded. It went everywhere. We can never go back there."

"Noooooooo! Why?! WHY WOULD YOU PLAY WITH RADIATION?!"

"We weren't playing with it! We just didn't know what the hell we were doing, it was the 80's man!"

"It's not worth it! Radiation kills you instantly, there's no way to safely handle it!"

"Oh come on, now you're just being hyperbolic. ...Wait, you are, right? Radiation doesn't kill humans instantly, even in super high doses."

"It does! Or, it should...! I don't think i've ever heard of a race that was immune to radiation!"

"Well, we're not immune. If we receive a big dose we get really sick, and even if we recover there's an increased chance of cancer due to the damage to our cells. But if the dose is too high, all of our DNA is destroyed and we die a slow, agonizing death while our cells die of old age and don't get replaced. Basically we just melt while still alive over the course of a few weeks."

"That's horrific! How could that possibly be a good thing?! Why would you evolve to do that?!"

"Because it gives us a chance, i guess? I dunno, it would have gone back all the way to the oldest organisms on earth. Maybe we just have a lot of radiation there."

"Uhg, i think i'm gonna be sick... i don't even want to imagine something like that."

Kyla seems to disagree. You can see her beaming from here.

"Woah, that's amazing! You're a total FREAK! It's already weird that you can survive in such a wide temperature range, but now you're radiation resistant as well?!"

"Heh, yeah. We're tenacious little bastards. You want to hear about this little critter called a cockroach?"

"A what now?"

You know very well the Space Council is going to abduct them in and the cucks in the government will accept.

>>4868041
You know heavyworlders like us (based on the total weight-to-fuel weight ratio required for hydrogen fuel rockets to escape the gravity well) should theoretically have significantly higher tech levels in quite a lot of stuff than surrounding aliens when we hit interstellar travel. In comparison to lightworlder neighbors our technologies are most likely to shine in terms of efficiency and longevity, as any heavyworlders are going to burn through their planet's natural resources and tolerance for waste products/waste heat before they get off planet for the easier resources and solutions that can be had in space. The next most likely exceptional aspect will be reliability, as technologies designed for use in and escape from a heavyworld gravity well will obviously need to be vastly more robust in the first place. Redundancy is also probably not very common except in heavyworlder tech, as it seems like most environments are forgiving enough that the consequences of failure in a major system might not need immediate resumption of function in order to avoid catastrophic doom.

I'm surprised this stuff hasn't come up yet, but I suppose we haven't delved into the first-contacts with other heavyworld apex predator species yet either.

>>4868172
There was a floating gasbag-octopus thing a while back, but they were both a dude and if I remember correctly, a wimp.

>>4868177
Not that anon here, but the "-philia" subfix means attracted to, and the "terato-" prefix means "relating to monsters or abnormal forms"

So it means "attracted to monsters or abnormal forms."

Most fancy Greco-Latin words function like this, and if you can figure out one part you can probably deduce the rest from context.

I have some character ideas swimming around.

>>4868210
Does it involve a gatling phaser?
Say did we find any phasers off the thugs we mobbed up for food muny?

>>4868211
Nope. Most people don't have phasers, even in the underground.
Most people are herbivores, and most of them prefer to run rather than fight.

It's mainly the more aggressive species that want to take up a weapon, even in defense.
Instead, they'll do anything they can do avoid putting themselves in that situation in the first place.

Bullying is an effective tactic against them. You don't even need a weapon.
It's because a lot of them come from worlds where competitive evolution isn't a thing

>>4868216
Bullshit. We can bully them with phasers. Set them to their lowest setting and shoot them with a fully automatic equivalent of a BB-Gun. The ones with the big solid slugs.

>>4868219
>not just carrying a second belt with you everywhere you go with the explicit purpose of slapping people with it
Slippers, wooden spoons, switches, and extension cables are also valid choices. Anything that brings up childhood ass-beating memories.

>>4868219
We are going for the Gatling laser for the sole reason being that we can have a Gatling laser

>>4868177

>>4868210
cheers QM

>>4868226
Ah, but what kind of gatling laser? The fallout kind? Some other kind? Literally just a gatling gun but instead of bullets it's phasers?

>>4868240
Well per the discussion last thread it'll be a Doom gatling style except where each barrel would be on the Doom gatling gun we'd have a rotary array of 3 phasers I think.

Made easily possible due to phasers using buttons to fire rather than triggers.

>>4868226
Fuck yeah, we need a ghetto rig it like some Fallout Gatling Laser.
>>4868240
Fallout Lasers seem pretty perfect for effective but chunky design that shall be forever known as human.

I'm liking this quest, OP. Maybe a little too on the nose for me at points, but it's definitely fun, and you seem engaged to it, so all the power to you. If anything, you keep up with your quest a lot better than most QM's who are starting out. Even better than some longer-running quests that can last for ages.

I'm not so much for the xenophilia like the other anons, not to the extreme anyway. Catgirl humanoids are about where I see the line, but I can look past what the other anons are going for. Just be careful when it comes to that stuff, because it can spark some nasty flame-wars. Doing romance or relations in popular quests requires a lot of skill and thought. Not least because you want to keep everyone cool. Anyway, that's just a bit of a forewarning. Don't take it as me trying to sway you or inject an opinion.

Hopefully your quest can live long and prosper. Have an HFY image.

If she leaks a dangerous acid by alien standards.. does she taste like lemonade?

>>4868489
No, it's dangerous by our standards. Like, melt through plastic dangerous. Also, she's not an alien. I, as a weeb, know that she is part of the supporting cast for My Hero Academia, and she can produce acid of varying viscosities and ph levels.

She does like the Alien moves though, if that counts for anything.

>>4867942

You talk with eachother for quite some time about eachother's homeworlds, traditions and standards. Mostly about yours, honestly, as they're by far the most interesting, but eventually you get a notification that it's time to go.
The Sadia Corporation ship is about to leave port, and for the first time you also break free of the station and start heading off into deep space.
The autopilot takes care of most everything, including following the transport ship's spacial wake, effectively dragging you along as they enter slipspace.

"Wow! That's a damn good autopilot! These greys really know what they're doing."

"Thank you, miss Kyla. I have been programmed to perform a number of tasks typically set upon lesser artificial intelligences, but i am quite proud of my ability."

"I've been meaning to say this, but your ship's AI seems really... fluent."

"Are they not supposed to be?"

"Not at all, no. She seems so lifelike, i'm not really sure how to feel about it."

"I've just been counting myself lucky this whole time. If she's smarter then that's better, am i wrong?"

"Not always..."

"Captain, i am detecting an interdiction. The slipspace sheath is collapsing, you should prepare for combat."

"Damn, seriously?! He didn't wait for long, did he?"

"It's alright, Cap'n. The stealth field aught to hold up just fine. Now it's just a matter of slipping in..."

"And that's where i come in. Alright, i'm headed to the cockpit. Kyla, get your suit on and get ready. Cylia, wait by the docking port. I'll meet you there when it's time."

You sit down heavily in the undersized pilot's seat and order the computer to hand over manual control. You feel the ship lurch once as you fall out of slipspace, and then once again as the controls unlock.
The transport ship in front of you is still there, but you don't see the other guy just yet... ah! There he is! Appearing in a streak of bright blue light, the pirate vessel appears before you out of nowhere.
He immediately begins firing on them, but their shields are holding for the moment. In the meantime, you move to slip in behind him and get inside his shield bubble unnoticed.

Grabbing the control, you move towards the back of Laggard's ship... entirely too quickly. The ship feels almost like a mouse that's been set to high sensitivity, and it's just way more than you were expecting.
You manage to jerk the ship to the side at the last moment, only grazing his shield with your own. The gravity generator is overwhelmed by the shock and you feel the inertia of the impact, just a bit.
Kyla comes over the radio at that moment.

"What the hell was that, Dave?!"

"Not now, busy!"

Laggart's ship almost immediately takes off vertically, again with surprising speed. His ship is smaller than yours, but more heavily armored. You didn't expect it to be quite this quick.

"You two better hold on to something, because this is gonna be bumpy!"

Since your ambush failed, all you can do is gun him down without being gunned down. His lasers all face forwards, so you just have to stay at his back. Easier said than done.
He keeps juking and jiving to keep you from getting behind him. He's pretty good!

But you can tell, you could push your ship a lot harder than this. And now you're starting to get used to the controls.

"Computer! Focus the gravity field on Cylia and Kyla! Inertial dampening only!"

"Captain, i cannot recommen-"

"THAT IS AN ORDER!"

You immediately feel the gravity shut off, followed by the inertia from your own ship's movements. You can actually feel the feedback from your inputs now!
The g-force is enough to force you down into your seat, hard. It feels amazing! This is it, this is what you always imagined space combat being like!
You grab the control stick and blast forward, swinging around to get behind him and launching a barrage of laser fire.

His shields dim and flicker, but don't go down.
The pirate ship spins in place to face you directly, and you move before it can fire.
You see his laser cannons light up, but they miss you entirely. There's a slight delay between lock-on and firing, and it has trouble even locking on if your movements are erratic enough.

But then, the pirate ship's movements change dramatically.
The simple, almost robotic movements from before are gone. Now his ship almost seems to flow through space with gentle, gliding movements.

"I guess you took over, huh Laggard? Computer, re-engage the stealth field and enter silent running. Maintain full reactor power, this ain't over yet!"

Your cockpit's dim red light is replaced with the cool blue light indicative of the stealth field's activation. The temperature inside the ship immediately jumps by ten degrees or so as you enter silent running mode, despite being in the middle of combat.

Laggard clearly loses sight of you and you take advantage of it, accelerating rapidly and hitting him from all directions. He's doing his best to evade, but he can't see you to make a judgement either.
You get at least a dozen clean shots on him before his shields crumble, and now all that's left is to hit his main engines!
But it's getting hot in here fast, so you'd better take care of it quickly.

>>4869809

Laggard turns and start to make a maneuver towards the cargo ship, but it's too late for that.
You line yourself up directly with his main thruster and manually control the laser turret with your left hand, firing straight down the center of the nozzle.

There's a flash of light and a burst of gas as his fuel tanks rupture, and the engine nozzles are destroyed with them.
The ship starts drifting uncontrolled. Without any gas, his RCS thrusters aren't functional. Those laser cannons are still active though, so you're careful to avoid them.

"Alright, deactivate the stealth field and start dumping heat. I'm boiling in here."

"Affirmative, Captain."

About that time, Cylia bursts into the cockpit, followed shortly by Kyla who's half-in half-out of her undersized space suit.
Both of them yell in unison.

"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING?!"

"Woah, woah! Calm down! I took care of it."

"What is "it" exactly?! The plan! What happened to the plan?!"

"It's still on, there was just a little hiccup. Kyla, i'm gonna come up beside him now so hurry up and get dressed."

"What the hell were you doing in here? It's like a million degrees, i thought something was on fire!"

"Kyla? The plan. His thrusters are down."

"Ah, fine! But we're having a talk about this later!"

Kyla walks off, clearly dripping with sweat. Cylia on the other hand isn't sweating much, but you can see and hear her panting heavily. It's definitely hot, but your crewmates don't seem to be able to stand it very well. It's only been a few minutes.

"Did... hah... did he give you a lot of trouble?"

"Not really. His shields were a pain with only one laser, but since his ship is mostly intact, i don't think that'll be a problem in the future."

"Huh? What, are you... are you going to strip down his ship... for parts?"

Cylia has to take a moment to sit down and catch her breath.

"Yeah, i'm gonna take what i can and sell the rest. Hey computer, how's that heat dump going?"

"Heatsinks are fully saturated, Captain. I'm afraid it will take some time to remove the heat buildup."

"Man, what a hunk of junk. That's gonna need fixed, too."

"Captain, the heat buildup was caused by pushing the ship beyond it's design specifications, in combination with activating cold running mode mid-combat. The ship is not to blame."

"Nobody asked, computer! This design is shit, and i'm not happy with it! It's getting some upgrades as soon as we get back to port!"

"Understood, Captain."

"Good. Now adjust atmospheric humidity to 0%. Cylia, go get some water from the mess room and cool off."

It's not long before you hear Kyla over the radio. She's at Laggard's docking port, but he seems to have locked out the controls. That doesn't stop her for long.

"Alright, i'm almost through! You're gonna have to force open the inner door somehow, but the docking mechanism should engage automatically."

"Thanks. I think i'm gonna head in on my own, so take care of the ship while i take care of him."

"Roger Roger!"

Thank you QM so much for addressing the laws of thermodynamics unlike many space opera sci-fis.

David is planning a more "active" cooling solution.
That is, dump the excess heat into some water, then spray it out the side of the ship as steam.
Yes, you can only dump so much heat that way before you're out of water, but you can also do it very quickly, and even use the high-pressure steam to generate extra thrust.

Your ship currently has issues with waste heat management because it's completely coated in anti-laser armor, meaning that it can't dissipate heat through the hull and has to use radiator fins.

Proportionally, how big are the fins? How are they shaped? Where are they positioned?

>>4870132
They're long, continuous fins that run the length of the ship's belly. They stick out past the armor by about a foot and glow red hot when dumping heat.

Anything you can dig out of the ground is next to worthless in space. It's the knowledge of how to make something and the ability to enact that knowledge that's valuable.
Of course, that also means that certain copyrighted materials are extremely valuable.

Wouldn't the steam give away our position, since it's for the stealth system?

>>4870224
It would give off a massive heat signature while active.
But it would also allow you to cool the ship quickly even mid-battle, then jump back into stealth.
It would also extend how long you could operate the ship out of spec for.

When you enter stealth mode/silent running, the ship holds in all of it's heat and reactor signatures to become completely black on scanners, as if nothing was there.
No generated heat or energy escapes.

You could still look out the window and see it, but it's invisible to the scanners that everyone uses. Nobody's looking for ships using radar or visible light.

They've found better ways to scan for things and moved on.
Even scanning for heat signatures is more of a secondary thing, in case they've got a stealth field like yours.

Hentai is for banging girls, gay shit is called something that starts with Y, like, y are you even alive.

We are not going to be as nice as Shepard, and the CCP exists on earth still, and jews. that isn't good.

Thermal scanners are the backup. Ships are mainly tracked using the unique subspace signatures put out by devices that use dark matter/dark energy, like the slipspace drive and frame shift drive.

>>4870265
Only more reason to add one in

>>4870273
Neat, so if they didn't use thermals for backups they wouldn't detect chemical rockets at all.

>>4870273
So radar just never comes up, we shall be a phantom ship.

>>4870273
So how good are these thermal scanners if they're only backups then? Particularly when they're being used at combat ranges (I assume they've got various sensitivity settings). Would thermal chaff be able to blind them? Then again, I guess our water-based heat dumps would essentially be thermal chaff.

>>4870291
They're fairly high resolution and sensitivity.
Thermal chaff would be a nightmare for them.

These are things with FTL. Radar feels unreliable when it comes to tracking and can give away our position. Maybe if we had a drop drone that broadcasts radar information we can decipher?
Eg. Dump a mini ship/drone that drops off more radar mines and feeds back semi encrypted information about the general area. We actually have stealth measures against our own tech and don't get noticed. Bonus points for making it look like they're thermal detectors that happen to make radio waves as a byproduct so that no aliens can figure out what we're doing easily?

I'm not sure how thermals in space would even work since there's almost nothing to transfer the heat. Space is a great insulator.

>Space is a great insulator.
That's why it takes a long time to remove heat using heat fins, and why David is planning on using water instead.
It's also why thermal scanners tend to be really sensitive. One, because the signatures are usually rather small, and two, in order to try and detect people who are running cold.

Which fucks you over if someone sprays burning chaff all over the place.

Bruh. I don't even know what to say. You just don't get it, but suffice to say they'd be exactly the same as used on modern aircraft and work fine.

Oh nowwwwwwwwww I get it.

>>4870306
I feel like the mini drone thing will fuck us over but other then that how will radar give us away?
