Humans when its time to go to war with aliens: "That's absolutely absurd and I won't hear it any further!

as long as our ground forces are Astartes, Mechs from Battletech, and Emperor Class Titans....and the Marines have to at least reference Chesty Puller.....ie: have Chesty Puller Class Marine Expeditionary units where its a task force that just so happens to be entirely under the marine corp and all the ships can provide orbital close air support like space spectre gunships....so basically 40k the shit out of it
And that was without super GAIs working together and having all the flight data from previous FTL ships, currently in use FTL ships, and all the previous designs humans have come up with for different vessels, machines, and so on. Even without real pressure, they could design vessels of different configurations and uses 'just in case', maybe even run battle and civilian simulations constantly to see what's good for what.
@@AndrooUK and on top of that the narrator states the first combat ships were repurposed “hunks of metal”. Something actual humans have been doing for centuries. In the War of 1812 the “navy” of the US started as private merchant and exploration vessels repurposed into combat ones while purpose built ones had to be built.
@@IAmTheRealBill Actually, I have walked the decks of one of the war of 1812 privateers. Really. The USS Lynx. She's still sailing the US to teach people. Of course, Lynx isn't on the US Navy register anymore, and her guns are not comparable to today's. I've seen her fire her guns on Independence Day at night. That was still impressive....

Interesting and engrossing story. However, you keep confusing "instellar" with "intergalactic," and occasionally with "interplanetary." These are beginner mistakes, and you should correct them.
Quite right. Most of the online scifi community waffles on precise space language. My biggest pet peeve is how many stories call every star system a "solar system" even when they call humanity's home system Sol so often they should really connect the dots. I guess "star system" just sounds a bit old fashioned and Asimov-esque but it bugs me.
@JadeBilkey Omg, that's my pet peeve also! No one uses "stellar" system anymore. They all use "solar system" when they mean "stellar system" or "star system!" I have despaired of ever seeing that corrected.
@@mordechai- I usually have it under control, but first me it is scale. First the scale of interplanetary and interstellar ships given what we know. The closest I have seen to getting that scale right is the ships in Warframe, but they fail on the crew scale; though that is for gameplay. The other is scale of population on planets. Even Asmiov’s Trantor is woefully small in that regard. An entire planet essentially turned in a giant building would be sparse at the level of population he cited as crowded. IIRC he originally put it at about 600 per square mile. For reference, NYC is approximately 30k per square mile. It has been a while but I think later he used a figure an order of magnitude higher. But that wouldn’t come close to NYC even.
does anyone know the short story told from the perspective of alien traders that mention "possession is 9/10ths the law" and they recall ripping off humans with junk, then the humans use that junk to reverse engineer technology and fight a war against another species
Third party STLs and 3d printed minis of preexisting mechs directly undercut the company's profits. The fact that the company won't produce their own is silly, yes, but their attempt to prevent third party sources from doing it is readily understandable.

Is the narrator claiming Earth ripped off tech or relies on Alpha Centauri for our own starter? Doubtful.
I wish we had 10 big ships not one. We are losers we hide them love the storys
Third party STLs and 3d printed minis of preexisting mechs directly undercut the company's profits. The fact that the company won't produce their own is silly, yes, but their attempt to prevent third party sources from doing it is readily understandable. Just because the player base doesn't have a problem with it doesn't mean it hasn't been a problem for the company.

What in the David Attenborough?
I was enjoying that until the part that made it clear that the original author is a tree hugger. And then I enjoyed the rest of it.
Becoming a tree-hugger is a quantum leap in consciousness. Grow up.
So the US created a intergalactic fleet capable of wiping out planets cause the aliens fucked w their boats? welp thats America for you welcome to earth
Could probably have been a good story, but the pacing of the reading is just ruining for me.
I'm fairly certain if you graffiti my range rover then we all decided you been tripping cuz graffiti carries a longer sentence than sexual assault
You lost me with all the trees on Sol3 being sentient
recent discover shows trees have feelings and talk to each other via a mycelia root network and diffrent types of pollen...it sounds nuts but clearly they have proof or can show it,and turns out not just trees but most plants...kinda makes one wonder what will vegans eat now lol
Why not?
We have Sapient trees here, wake up.

Greed is what moves earth
Let me guess - this short story was written by a American ?😂
Ouch 😂
Rent free.
Hey that hurts
TUF AIG conflict.... Aghhh, I wish I understood the plethora of acronyms...
0:01 to 0:50 Sorry...did you say that Humans are a "friendly" species? Have you read their history?
...also "no pirate would dare..." who is going to stop them? By definition isn't piracy illegal? Aren't you already trying to stop them?
Hay I found your Easter egg
Cover photo looks a lot like Scarlett Johansson
Where is the rest?
A "short stroy" is not 50 minutes long dude. Thats a large story. Once it goes beyond a few hours its a kinda small book, 6-8 hours is just a book, 12 is a good books, and 16+ hours of content is a big book.... i may have gotten off topic
Novella really.
What kind of stories do you hear? 50 min is small. 16 hours is a book
Short story, to me 🤔
to bastardized a quote, "hey look read a story, to 10 seconds, 11 tops"
Typical modern attention span
The trees being sentient is dumb. I'm still keeping all my wood products. Those prick trees should have let us know. So, everything that's happened to them is their own fault. 🤨
but its getting closer to proven fact..they already can show the communicate to each other
They couldn't communicate with us. How is that their fault?
It's still awkward lol, and horrifying. the thing literally takes 7 business days for them to beg for mercy.

All humans revere scientists? Since when?
To some degree
The concept of the big bang was invented by a Belgium priest.
And genetics was invented by a monk.
… in the future? This is set in the future after all.
I can confirm from personal inter dimensional experiences that the real future with God the Creator and His Son Jesus Christ will certainly be very satisfying. There is a good bit of information both specific and more generalized can be found in the Holy Bible. A very worthy text that many would prefer would just F ffffade away.
