I don't think he needs to do that Remember how much Energy is Released on Impact with just the rounds hes using (( Besides Bigger projectile the more Backward force it creates )) The Smaller ones he currently use's are great.jnormg wrote:He may neet to up-scale the rail gun to a larger projectile. (think what damage would be done by a tennis ball-sized chunk of lead traveling at 14000 mph)
IMHO if you think about how hard they will be to detect and defend against ...... And remember any hole in a Spacecraft can be Dangerous... ;D
Also the Speed will be greater in a Vacum .....
If he can safely demonstrate a threat to the transfer station in earth orbit or the the star gate outside the moon's orbit, he can hold food shipments hostage and thus has a strong negotiating position.
Maybe, Maybe not it will depend on How much dammage he's willing to do. also if he can discriminate his targets to only House Trillane opperations on Earth and near earth.. Maybe He can get the Emperess to Take direct action to Reign in House Trillane.
True But there seems to be Seperate Fractions in the noble house's this could work in Jasons favor as it has in the past.. Kumi allready Knows Jason and he protects the weak from the strong.
However, it is a two-edged sword. Kumi is part of House Trillane, and Jyslin is still loyal to the Imperium. Jason needs both. Also, a serious threat to food shipments might trigger a massive retaliation against wilderness settlements everywhere.
Temiko is a free spirit and she wants to stay free of the Faey....
I am extremely curious as to what role Temiko plays. She has a serious reason for disliking the Fey. She now has talent, although mostly untrained, but she has already shown her resourcefulness and her toughness. My guess is she goes with Jason while Tim and Symone remain with the settlement, where they are needed the most.
While I feel she will still Help in jason in some ways what he's going to do will put Eyes on him she want's to avoid at all costs....
Tim and Symone are there because of Jason and they will stay with him what ever he does.
I think Tim will see his freedom is linked to Jason if he wins Tim and Symone win. if jason fails tim and Symone fail too...
Jason is going to start a war the Exomech is exactly what he needs ... Plus it's way too dangerous to move to the new community there is just too much danger in keeping it there, (more danger then it's worth to them)
I also think Tim and Steve will be left to repair the exomech, since Jason now has very little use for it. Anyway, these are just my guesses. No matter which way it goes, it is a fantastic story.
If it were ever discovered it would end every thing for them.
Also Jason is the only one who has a chance of using it and succeeding besides maybe Symone.
