Definitely. Everything is mass produced with shit tier quality. Your weapon broke? Here's a new one. Weren't the drop pods disposable as well? I loved how she called all the privates sardines, it added to the setting in which everything was disposable and readily replaced (including soldiers). It struck me as being oddly reminiscent of the Imperial Guard from 40k, while being set in the "not to distant future" scenario with a level of technological advancement that didn't seem too far fetched.

>>31000135
Exactly. The tech was plausibly descended from what we have and what we are developing today. Armored exo suits that make you tough and mobile, but not fuckin Space Marines.

Right away I'm triggered because nobody ever would fight over a tiny retarded rock like Deimos and certainly not with fucking orbit-dropped infantry. There is no atmosphere to drop through. It's not even big enough to easily capture anything with it's own gravity, the margin of error is slim and any miss means you'll go straight for Mars. Even if you had artificial gravity to "make it heavier" the point of that would be what, exactly? So it's easier to walk on? For what purpose? There is literally no good reason to use either of the Martian moons outside of mining and even then robots do the job a million billion times better and more cheaply.

No. Shut the fuck up. Going from Titan (of all places) to Deimos to drop troops on it so it can be captured because "it's strategic and the Martians own it" is stupid. Nothing about anything I just typed makes any sense and rereading that sentence has killed brain cells and I've probably developed a tumor because some of those cells refuse to die from something so absurdly stupid.

I pressed post too early.

You're just angry because I'm pissing on your fantasy parade but I don't know how else to handle this pathetic pseudo-science horseshit. I really don't. I'm sorry it has to be this way but there's a certain point where disbelief can't be suspended without first undergoing a lobotomy because sometimes an author pushes things so far they become just plain dumb. For more information I'll direct you to the movie Prometheus and to the movie Avatar. When I can start jabbing my bony, emaciated fingers through the plot within the first few paragraphs you have fucked up. If you're going to write a sci-fi story make at least that part believable enough to get me hooked, if your story has shit the bed before we've even left the house then the rest of the adventure is fucked.

Maybe if the story skipped Deimos and went straight to Mars it would have a better chance. Now if the author was dead-set on including Deimos they could include a little passage about how the moon's robotic mining facility was completely fucked by the invading fleet as they dashed the fucker across the Martian atmosphere. That would be more believable, using the local satellites as orbital bombardment because ha-ha we're invading with infantry for some dumb fucking reason. I'd probably get lost somewhere around there though because invading an entire planet with infantry forces is a *retarded* idea. Just blast the fucks on the ground from orbit until they piss themselves and surrender, you have literally every conceivable advantage and if they valued their lives they would capitulate immediately. Orbit to surface invasions? Dumb. Bad idea. You've gone hundreds of thousands of kilometers to essentially bash your head into a brick wall so you can scratch an itch on your nose. Great job, dumbass.

Oh and your clumsy analogy doesn't even work, gravity is not the same as "the resource" and "resources" are featured elsewhere in your hamfisted fuckup.

No. It's dumb. I hate it when this stupid, stupid shit is vomited because it makes people believe wildly dumb things and then when somebody smart comes along they inevitably go, "NUH UH, I SAW IT ON TV." You saw/read/heard of a tiny, condensed explanation of something very complicated and probably passed on by somebody who didn't understand it. This is the kind of bullshit that propagates raw ignorance in the face of established science and otherwise known fact, simply because the average idiot thinks in simple terms and doesn't really want to try to comprehend what's actually going on. Case in point this reply: >>31001456 I said I didn't like something and why I didn't like it, and then in comes a moron to try and defend their shitty story full of dumb things. So I made a reply explaining in greater detail why they're an idiot, and now you're here crying because I said mean words. Sorry to be the one to tell you this but life sucks, junior. Deal with it.

Oh and something else:

>>31001647
>hundreds of thousands of kilometers
My bad, I was thinking of Earth to Mars. In actuality if they're coming from Titan and assuming they left at the closest point it would be about a billion kilometers. Mars at aphelion is about 249 million km, and Titan (well, Saturn) is 1.35 billion at perihelion, but in all likelihood after hohmann orbits and corrections the total travel distance would be well beyond a single billion kilometers.

So little correction there. Even so, having been thinking of Earth to Mars it's even worse thinking of Titan to Mars. If my math is correct that requires a delta-v of 15.43 km/s which is *insane* if you're moving a ship designed to invade another planet.

Except your Iwo Jima analogy doesn't work, because in the game of orbital mechanics a single Wildcat can fly from Pensacola to Tokyo and it carries B61 bombs. Ultimately the end result is Iwo Jima is just as irrelevant as Guadalcanal, Midway, and even Pearl Harbor because we're at a technology level where cross-ocean warfare is easy enough to consider pissing away all our Wildcats on stupid bombing missions.

Alternatively the other option, the one I've been discussing, is still there. There's all sorts of howitzers in California that can shell Japan, it just won't be the most accurate because of reasons not really applicable in this analogy. So instead of wasting all this time and effort sending aircraft we could just sit back and lob an endless wave of munitions until Japan capitulates.

>>31002301
>I've played enough kerbal to know how irrelevant of a number this is when you have acces to nuclear propulsion
I don't think KSP accurately models the ability to fling a chunk of metal at percentages of light speed at another planet, since you're dealing with the same levels of energy production. You might as well make it efficient and less prone to mishap which is the basis of any successful military force. Otherwise we'd still be using swords "because it's cool" and issuing everyone M82s because "fiddy cals are awesome."

You get more mad with every post and you let off steam by making even saltier post, thus creating a never-ending loop that in the end purges the thread and leaves you with anger with no outlet or audience and without final word.

To the very lost poster,

To make it short. /k/ likes guns. And because /k/ likes combat from the grunt perspective. It likes seeing CAS blow the fuck up out of harden positions. It likes seeing hard of hearing cannon cookers asking weird questions as fire missions are preformed. It likes seeing the average grunt deal with above average bullshit in and out of combat. The book you want is a numbers book. The only time k wants numbers is from an educational thread or if that scenario stand fucker come around. That's what space combat would be, numbers. Who has more weapons, more ammo, more ships, and which side can lose more before calling it quits... Not exactly the most fun read compared to FPJ.

There's "different logic" and then there's lazy. I don't respect lazy. I don't like lazy. People got really angry when I said their favorite story is stupid, I've been laughing ever since. Maybe I'm a bad person, but I work with dumb motherfuckers all day and I have to explain complex things to them so they can make decisions.

>You get more mad with every post
This? This is therapeutic. It's more or less everything I want to say to a project manager I'm forced to work with who I'm pretty sure lied about his academic credentials or is just dumb as a sack of hammers. When I have to explain the fucking pythagorean theorem to a grown man in charge of an eleven million dollar engineering project it makes me want to die inside. Really. It does. So I hope you can imagine why coming across this story went right up my "piss me right the fuck off" alley.

I'm sorry for ruining your day, but I initially said flat-out I didn't like the fucking story and gave a sentence why. Yeah I had fun laughing at the angry white knights, but still, sorry it got to the point where it ruined your shit.
