A Meta Gaming Blog talking about How to Frame Narrative, Exploiting and Exploring Biases, and Using Work Productivity and Motivation tools in a TRPGs most of the time.
I decided to just used chatgpt4 turbo to help me finish my side project and help me also document each portion in detail so when i eventually will have total amnesia again because so much time will have passed from the last time.
I feel useless when I have a fever and chills, and its frustrating when your brain is half as effective. I might as well make something - a dumber me can make than wait for a smarter me to be back on line.
this uses blender 4.0 with 60fps 1920x1080 camera. Uploaded the new files and the files that contain the render settings if you want to reproduce this for your game.
One drive link to the Blender file - 240305 600m diamater Spin habitat.blend this is the 46mb file of the rings for the purpose of understanding what it really looks like.
This is how each spin habitat appears to spin, assuming it is reaching the correct angular velocity or rotation speed to achieve 1G of gravity.
This emphasizes the following in designing a spin habitat:
1) that the spinning section is interior and there is a FIXED exterior (relative to the spinning interior). Crucial is that it minimizes resource and design reinforcement by only having less mass spin.
2) The passageways are either outside the middle or one side. Otherwise, the center cannot be "Fixed." The center, unmoving, can be storage and SHIP docking, a key logistical place. It can also contain all the mass that will not be subjected to 1G—even some farms can be in the 0G interior.
This rate of spin is such a big deal - it makes all the scifi shows spin rates look off.
Thanks to Anders Backman, in the Traveller RPG FB group, to call out the mistake.
Sorry for plugging our product: Mneme Space Combat by next week we will upload Tender and Habitat to Mneme World Generator so that those who bought it can use the habitat and tenders as well.
*of course if you buy the product you will get all the models so you can detail it and customize it. Of course you fund us as well - so we keep doing this kind of value.
So Nicco is working on the Tokens, Maps (of the Habitat), and Animation. We had to do the animation to illustrate how it's supposed to work and be used. As you can see in the previous pictures the Nacells allow the Tender to maneuver and orient its cargo. The huge clamp is necessary - you can't just have TINY fixed mounts and handle something so EXPENSIVE and valuable. I come from construction and manufacturing - material handling and logistics is a fascination of mine and I'd be embarrassed if I didn't apply my knowledge.
Do you think people will want a Book detailing a 1-10 million DTON habitat for 10,000-100,000 people?
Huge habitats are mass-produced to orbit new resource extraction hubs. Designed to be self-sustaining for centuries and can serve refugees and mass migrations. When you mine Jupiter - a world 300x the mass of earth with Jovian Forges: Tethers that Skim and plunge into the surface of Gas Worlds - to extract materials and resources - you are mining more resources than ever imaginable on a Terrestrial world. The ability to produce Habitats that are effectively cities and industries - industries producing small self-contained worlds.
Nicco and I, with the freelancers who like our projects - can make such a project. We just dont know if there is a market for it since it takes someone who is into economics, demographics, logistics, with 3D modeling and Design, and who can detail such worlds.
An update. That's a 200DT ring and a 100DT tender. 200DT ring is like a motor home for the higher TLs when the incomes of the characters are greater.
In earlier TLs like 2050s such a habitat is only owned by states.
The internal ring is the one moving as well as the passageway that goes into the ring.
with a Stationary area - it allows for storage, docking station, as well as counter-balancing infrastructure.
The system - ring and tenders are designed to be flexible. Ideally they slow down the spin and gravity on points of transition so that people do not suffer from the vertico too badly.
some corrections. The passage tubes will be moved away from the non-moving core. The tube will be spinning along with the inner internal section. The outer and center is non-rotating.
Some cases this is the ideal mode of travel. In some its what you see above.
The rings are modular. There are templates and standard designs that allow for expansion. We will have rules for less Thrust-1 when moving much larger objects.
with drugs and inner-ear corrective modifications (like glasses for the inner ear, earphones that mitigate the nausea as well as surgery and smart prosthetics/cybernetics)
https://www.artificial-gravity.com/sw/SpinCalc/ the Courier's 3mf and STL files are uploaded. You can get it in the Onedrive Folder that comes with the Mneme Space combat purchase (I hope you bookmark it, because prototypes and our other drafts that didnt make the cut is there for your own use if you still want it).
Charles Jamer C. Pangindian is working on the Resin Files Folio: https://charlesjamerpangin2.wixsite.com/plight
Christian Tormes is working on the FDM files
Their contact details for commissions will be included in the folder.
we cannot make the scale proportional or its going to be too big. So what happens is there is a RESIN and FDM file of each model and they start at 10DT (with 15mm for resin). for every Increase of size, we make a smaller increase or else we wont have space for the 5,000 or 2M dton assets. We will be using STL and 3mf
We are going through revisions of the Tender: It has to be able to PULL or PUSH a ring. the ring typically has its spinning happening in a housing so that moving counterweights can counteract the Tennis Racket Effect. It has to be spinning in the housing for so many other reasons and the space within the ring as docking and storage and farms. We have this concept called the "Ox Neck" the kind of structure you need the tender to have to Push or Pull a more massive object.
Wings of Honneamis - my research on Real world rockets and that the Ship design system allows for the recreation of the Early and Current Space race is key so that in settings where people are reconstructing lost technology and alternate technologies. Example the space race in Wings of Honneamis.
Scale
1 million seconds is 11 days
1 billion seconds is 32 years.
With environmental tech earth can hold tens of billions
jupiter has the resources of thousands of earths - the habitat you see of 700m diameters could be 1 of millions. The economic activity producing Graphene superstructures for Rings and Space-elevators and Inertia Tethers (all are graphene based tethers used for the largest mega structures) could produce hundreds or thousands kilometers of such an earth day. (using a Bishops' Ring to create the day and night cycle)

34 million cubic meteres or about 2 million dtons.
Organizing all these notes so that I can make ships using a DTON bill of materials system is going to mean I have researched all the ships and found the best way to recreate these ships.
Then I have to create tools and show how to calculate: Delta-V budget using ISP, Flow-rate, Thrust, and loaded Mass. With boosters which uses the Rocket Equation, I have to create the formulas to be accessible.

Delta-V calucations: there are two ways to calculate Delta-V.
1) Acceleration * Time. This is mostly accurate if it were an electric car in an atmosphere with no air resistance, since there is very little mass difference when it uses up power from its batteries.
2) Rocket equation: ISP * Gravity * Log (Initial or loaded Mass / Final or empty Mass). I never use logarithms in my work and at least AI can help me review concepts I never use. (Sadly if my work was physics based, then I would need practice for my basic EQ and thats harder to practice with an AI.)
Rocket Equation for Every Stage added up will make the final Delta-V.
Surface Area to Volume Ratio. that some shapes have a particular Volume to Surface Area relationships, as well as a relationship to the longest dimension. This came into play when we were creating the STL files for Resin printing of Mneme Space Combat
a 10DT ship, 1/10 of a Scout is roughly 1/2 in leongth as the 100DT scout. While a Ship with 2x the volume (100DT to 200DT) will have about 25% more length.
