    My book is up on Inkshares

    Didn't know about those and I'm not really "torturing" myself with Inkshares. If you check out the The Battle Plan sample, which is the only thing left of the sample chapters on the page after my recent tear down, it outlines my plans for turning the whole series into a universe shared among me...

    My book is up on Inkshares

    Well I've been debating on whether to put another post on here or not but figured I might as well. The preorder campaign for Battle Flag has failed so it won't be printed, right now. It's dropped back into what's known as the draft phase and I'm going to let it sit there for a little while. I'm...

    My book is up on Inkshares

    Well two weeks left to reach at least 250 preorders. Without some sort of miraculous surge in orders this book isn't going to happen, at least not right now. It could happen, but I would have to get at least 18 orders every day from now to the end of the campaign.

    My book is up on Inkshares

    So I got back from Vacation yesterday and checked on the book's campaign and I have 27 DAYS LEFT and only 8 orders. So if you folks want to read this thing I could use all the help I can get. Orders, referrals, advice, whatever will help drive those orders up to the minimum.

    KSP A-14 Raptor

    The mass is 19.647 tons, according to the engineer's report in the SPH. I'm not sure where to read my Delta V, I usually just go by that m/s reading on the nav ball. The fuel tanks are the standard jet engine fuel tanks, so no oxidizer onboard. When I did my speed run, where everything began...

    My book is up on Inkshares

    Well I just crossed the halfway point in my preorder campaign and I've only got 7 orders. I could really use all the help I can get, I've gotta hit a bare minimum of 250 preorders before they'll print it, and I'm hoping some of the Wingnuts might want to pick it up. Even if they don't I could...

    KSP A-14 Raptor

    So I got my Delta V\speed up to about 1,300 m/s before things started burning of the ship, I was up over 1,406 when vital stuff began exploding. It doesn't seem to have the umph to get suborbital, whether it be the engines or lifting ability, kind of feels like both. Anyway. If there's a file I...

    KSP A-14 Raptor

    I hadn't thought about that. :) I just finished it yesterday and have only been interested in just getting it to fly, so there hasn't been much need to get the Kerbal out. I'm going to fly it some more today or tomorrow and see how fast it will truly go and maybe try to get it up to at least a...

    KSP A-14 Raptor

    So yeah, I built an A-14 Raptor in Kerbal Space Program just to see if I could get it to fly and it does. I don't know if anyone has tried this yet, but I built it all with stock parts, no mods, and it seems to work alright. I had to stick the R.A.P.I.E.R. Engines on it to give it enough speed...

    My book is up on Inkshares

    It's all there in the link, but to keep things simple, it's called Battle Flag: The Road To Hell. There's a few sample chapters but what other Wingnuts may find interesting is the The Battle Plan sample, which isn't really a chapter but details my overall plans for how the series will be shared...

    My book is up on Inkshares

    Well I'm just finishing up my first month on the campaign and I've got 6 preorders, which doesn't bode well for the campaign. But I'm not terribly upset if no one wants to buy it, I've offered it to a lot of agents and been turned down by all of them, so I'm used to rejection. :) What I've...

    My book is up on Inkshares

    So I opened up Pre-orders for my book and they'll be available until Oct. 16 2016, wish me luck! By the way, to the mods, if this is inappropriate for the forum please accept my apologies. This book has been a long time coming and is sort of my uber-fanfic for Wing Commander, even though it's...

    My book is up on Inkshares

    So the last two sample chapters are up for those interested in reading them.

    My book is up on Inkshares

    I put up two more sample chapters, from much later in the book, to anyone interested in checking out the later stages of the story. Let me know what you think, either here or on Inkshares.

    [SPOILERS] Star Wars movie thread... [Don't read this thread if you haven't seen the movie yet]

    It tended to hit a lot of the same beats as the original trilogy, like almost every fight was meant to be a throwback to the old films, but overall I thought it was a great return to the old style and enough fun to be worth the ticket price. But then again, in my case, the ticket price was...

    25 Years?

    Geez, you're making me feel old, I was in high school when I first played WC. I didn't have too much trouble working boot disks and autoexecs, although I did kind of enjoy creating them, but then again my early computer days were marked with Vic 20s and Commodore 64s, where more often than not...

    choose your own adventure

    Strategy guides and internet walktroughs skew this a little bit. For example, the first few times I played through WC1 and 2 I would suddenly find myself on the losing track and have no idea how I got there. This was back in the day before the internet was the behemoth* it is today and strategy...
