Lambast MercyI've seen the offending unitard in question.

One can recover from the shocking array of sequins quite quickly, but the tassel placement.. . It haunts me to this day.

Anyone read or seen the show Altered Carbon? Could be a possibility?

The other option is we are all piloting robotic bodies.

Plot twist, we are actually sentient AI and don't know that we replace humans hundreds of years ago!

I've watched & enjoyed the 1st season of AC so far. I've also enjoyed what was available in the AC series of novels via Audible.

I actually enjoyed the novels better.

I think lots of different authors bring their (versions of) concepts into the general SciFi genre... The Expanse series, for instance, although I haven't read any novel version, seemed to me 1 of the most realistic near-future visions I've seen, & I've been a lifelong fan of SciFi. I also loved watching Interstellar, which also made a good effort to respecting RL science.

SciFi is what turned my eyes to the stars, & was only nurtured by the space program & watching the 1st lunar landing, my telescope, & from Star Trek onwards.

& <poof!> I stumbled across E:D. I appreciate all the many attempts at reality & being somewhat well-versed in the sciences...

I can see what E:D has tried to do. I'm looking fwd to seeing if the Odyssey expansion at least does a decent job of maintaining that.

...We both learned something that day. I learned to always double check that the door is ACTUALLY locked and you learned about proper tassel placement.

I'm a huge fan of the Expanse. Read the books a while ago and loving the series now. Elite Dangerous is probably the closes we will get to living in that world.

Synthya WylderFar be it from me to claim any sort of "Lore-Guru" status, but...

Afaik, Outposts tended to be rather spartan & minimalistic, geared more to basic functionality. Maybe, think 'frontier border settlement'-like?

So, no gravity on outposts, & what 'gravity' there is, is found only in 3 places: on some sort of body like a planet or moon, a station (which rotates thus providing centrifugal force) & a ship either in constant acceleration (inertia) or in a circular loop course (centrifugal force).

I can imagine that bars in an outpost might have magnetic seats or bungee straps, & drinks served in covered cups, or squeezable containers (imagine the sport of catching a floating globule in your mouth or shooting it over to a mate)...

Jacuzzis or hot tubs might be found in limited/select luxury suites in a miniature spinning drum of some sort... but being spartan, might not even be available?

Datapads... maybe, like a very advanced version of a smartphone might be today? E:D universe is >1K years into the future, minus perhaps whatever tech might have been lost either during the global war prior to the beginning of the mass exodus, or added to by the needs of the relatively advanced tech & time period.

Don't take my word on things tho... there are far better informed "Lore-Meisters" here than I.


You are bang on the nose.

Bonus points if you can get them to spin in unison.

Now THAT kinda show will cost.

...Not much in the way of credits mind you, but don't plan on walking away with a shred of self respect.

It ain't all bad though. You do get yourself a set of lightly used, sort of sweaty, not too smelly tassels to take home with you!
