[justforthelulz]

No honor among thieves or mercenaries.
Even without outside entities, they'll turn on themselves eventually.

 

[Hollow7F]

Mod Note: Please use spoiler tags when talking about chapter-specific or future events.

 

[Salfaro]

Gonna bet that verbal agreement aint all that great, and he's gonna end up fighting the military too.

 

[Korvalus]

I have trouble sizing the MC's and the other's ships. Is it a gunship (like a Thunderhawk/Stormbird), a corvette (Mill. Falcon size), bigger...? Because if it's bigger than a corvette, I don't think it could pull the stunts of ch. 1 that easily...

 

[aibaby]

I hope the manga is as good in illustrating the battles as the WN is in describing it. Gon be gud

 

[Aronida]

@Korvalus honestly I think it's just an OP as fuck ship . Don't know the size but it must be fast and the weapon seemed very strong

 

[AbuHajaar]

If the army can't handle small fast ships then they're gonna be in a hell of a lot of trouble if the neighboring state decides to prepare an army of fast small ships.
Like what

 

[Kampfarsch]

@AbuHajaar the problem is when small fast ships try to run away ya dingus
and they CAN handle them its just a chore

 

[Talismaster]

@AbuHajaar
The army is expecting to do most of the heavy lifting against other battleships in the case of another state invading. While doing that, they can’t handle smaller, faster ships slipping through, with more important things to focus on. For that purpose, they’re hiring mercenaries to act as a net. Probably.

I assume that heavy battleships can’t move as fast as smaller ones. That said, that’s the end of where my speculation can go. I don’t know why they don’t have enough of their own destroyers or whatnot.

Edit: basing it off of Naval ship speeds, a heavy battleship can only move at about 33 knots, but a corvette can move at up to 60 knots. Interestingly, destroyers can only move at up to 30 knots or so...

 

[suzubelle]

Pretty much like strategy games... the small ones are pretty annoying when you just ignore them

@Talismaster I think the story said this was taking place in one of the most isolated areas in space. Anti-fighter ships would probably be assigned to the more populated regions where there are more civilian space stations.

@ShionVaynex The volume 1 cover art on the series' main page pretty much confirms that.

 

[welcome2atlantis]

For Eris' sake, why did it cut right before the party.

 

[LogLauncher]

Thanks for the chapter!!

 

[CelticMutt]

@Korvalus - It's probably around the Millenium Falcon's size, which is a light freighter. An actual corvette would be Leia's ship from the start of the original Star Wars movie (A New Hope) and would require a crew of dozens or more. For a more recent example, I bet MC's ship is bigger than Mando's, since there are clearly individual crew rooms, but probably not more than two or three times as big.

 

[nachtness]

man, khrisna sure Iike exceIsior cIass with sIight nerf without the super power IoI

 

[warlockbeta]

@korvalus Due to the terminalogy and appearances in the novel and manga it has a lot of physical similarities to an elite dangerous fer de lance.
But I think it's probably a little larger than a python in elite dangerous due to the stuff packed inside.

Wonder how long until he realizes this is as real as it gets.
