Who in their right mind would say two thousand five hundred instead of two and a half thousand.
In my opinion, this series feels more like a spiritual successor to Outlaw Star than Cowboy Bebop.yay more!!! I am reading the novel, but I really enjoy having visuals. Can you imagine this as an anime, I feel like it would feel different than the manga and novel, but in a more exciting way, like a mix between interspecies reviewers and I can't think of a good space action besides one that has a completely different tone like Cowboy Bebop.
I haven't seen outlaw star, Cowboy Bebop is the closest show I have seen with a similar setting (single ship with crew on an action adventure) just the tone was much too different to even consider it something like a spiritual successor.In my opinion, this series feels more like a spiritual successor to Outlaw Star than Cowboy Bebop.
You don't really need a large volume of air to make radiators work, you just need some medium to dump heat into and that could be anything from a big tank of water, to a thermoelectric generator, to mere photons.Fun fact, space combat IRL, at least ship to ship, would be boring and terrible. Aim laser, hope your laser heats up the enemy faster than theirs warms your ship up, winner is the one with the least cooked crew.
Seriously, dumping heat wouldn't work quickly enough because there's no air to let radiators work well.
Most sci-fi ships have magic cooling.
Ah, I forgot to add the fact that it all happens at distances where no one ever gets close enough to see anything (hundreds, if not thousands, of km out). Lasers would be used for missile defense, regardless, and take them out before they were seen.You don't really need a large volume of air to make radiators work, you just need some medium to dump heat into and that could be anything from a big tank of water, to a thermoelectric generator, to mere photons.
BTW, that heat build-up issue also means that laser weapons are actually a less than ideal weapon for space combat; the emitter and wiring would produce a bunch of heat, and any lenses or mirrors you use to aim or focus the beam would also be soaking up some amount of heat that would need to be dispersed. There's also the problem that if the target has good reflective/refractive armor then you might have as much as 99.998% of your laser's output being sent right back at you.
Except most authors tend to only think of multiple partners loving 1 male or 1 female MC. Instead of multiple partners actually loving each other.you don't need more bedrooms, just a
bigger bed
Lightnovelstranslations.com has the WN. I get the localized US versions on Kindle of the LN. They’re nice because the author usually will add an extra chapter or two that don’t show up anywhere else.Out of curiosity, someone has a link to the novel ? Kinda wanna read it after seeing all these comments
can you, or anyone else caught up with the novel, spoil me? does he ever end up with the noble's daughter or does the prospect seem likely? if not i don't want to continue investing myself in the manga.yay more!!!

you can keep track using novelupdates.com just look up 'I Woke Up Piloting the Strongest Starship, so I Became a Space Mercenary' and add it to your reading list.Out of curiosity, someone has a link to the novel ? Kinda wanna read it after seeing all these comments
This is not accurate.It makes more sense if you consider it from a currency perspective. Using USD as an example, all denominations greater than $100 were discontinued by the US Department of the Treasury over 50 years ago due to lack of use, and even before then, it was exceedingly rare for any transaction to use them instead of a check or some other form of currency exchange. So $2500 for most people would be 25 $100 bills, or twenty-five-hundred.
Funnily enough, Japanese has the opposite problem, where the number system actually doesn't go high enough, so larger numbers like 100,000 or 1,000,000 have to be stated in terms of 10000 (万/man). So 1,000,000 is expressed as "one-hundred ten-thousands".
You misunderstand. My comment about currency is specifically in regards to English, as the original comment I responded to was musing about how native English-speakers have some unique ways of stating numbers that can confuse non-native speakers.This is not accurate.
The Japanese number system based on ten-thousands predates the current denominations of Japanese currency and was borrowed from the Chinese system that is largely the same. It's largely unrelated to the currency and the fact that 10k JPY and 100 USD are largely similar amounts, that both are the largest denominations in circulations, and that 10k and 100 can be used respectively in the number systems as independent counting words, are all just a coincidence.
Late, but I thought I'd chime in with this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercritical_fluidYou're right about the heat build up being an issue for generating lasers, but even with a water tank, you can only soak up so much before it gets saturated and causes a steam explosion.
