  1. Kudos on the mobile version, I'll be sure to try it out. My preferred browser is Opera because I'm on a limited data plan (and it tends to load sites so much faster) yet it throws a fit when I try to use the default skin menus or reply.

     

    PC lag is minimal, it just seems like this forum takes longer to load than other boards but not such that it gives me flashbacks of the bad old days of dial up.

    I picked this up a while back for only 3 bucks on Kindle. Its a great read for fans of the space opera genre as well as fans of the Atomic Rockets site. It features relatively well fleshed out characters, most of whom are neither particularly Star Trek levels of sanitary nor neo Galactica levels of nihilistic and very well described, very entertaining space and ground action with extremely realistic physics. It was a book that really got me started along the route of not fretting overly much over how much megattonage a 'verse could throw around and to be more entertained by how it uses what it has. You can do a lot of pretty captivating things with a gigawatt or two of lasers and kinetics.

     

    I highly recommend it.
