Perhaps it could be a series of very short stories/parables that Anver tells Yunker that are directly related to Kha's experiences as the book goes on. Of course that breaks with your current storytelling style of independent books.

Thanks. Ponder my navel, I must.

I started by researching dark energy for power production this evening. To achieve the amount of dark energy believed to be in our universe only requires the mass-energy equivalent of 4 hydrogen atoms per cubic meter of space. I was going to drop it as a power source, but I found another article that talks about harnessing dark energy for everyday needs, although not in the author's lifetime. So I've got only a few hundred years before Professor Hinkley is supposed to make his major breakthroughs in astrophysics. I'm trying to think if there's one unifying concept that allows for FTL, flight cocoons for atmospheric-like mechanics in space, a great source of power, and cool weapons.

I'm going to punt this topic over to my thread, so I don't hijack yours.

Mine need serious work. I don't do anything creative yet. Just blast cannons ("novas" and "supernovas") and missiles. The only thing that I think may be unique in my battles is that I use heavily armored raiders to board enemy ships when hangar bay shields are knocked out.

I have something called brilliance cannons (prototypes) in chapter one, but they're all just variations of Star Wars/Star Trek tech. I need something different. I was thinking of something that involves either dark energy and/or dark matter. And maybe something that uses the starlanes to pop out of spacetime, travel to the other ship, and then re-enter spacetime and blow up. Another could be a weapon that sends powerful gravity waves at the enemy.

All need plenty of research.

What is a Mar and why does it eat the word 'everyone''?

Inline reviews alone are worth the price of admission.

Reads like C++.

I started making up the Roman curses. It's so much easier. Bastard? Bastardus! Thus, Caligula becomes Little Bastardus. As Kdot said, Latin makes everything sounds cool: bacon - porcus flavius. Don't tell him, but I actually looked it up, thinking it might be real.

Kdot probably has more spreadsheets to track your books than I do for my own. My spreadsheet has weird sh*t in it, though. One sheet is a table dedicated to calculating global population decline caused by Dr. Ess. That's how I found out it's virtually impossible to wipe out most of the human race, even with 85% sterility due to the vaccine. It is cool to see the weird population swings across 100 years.

You go girl! (I'm speaking to Lady Kay, of course.)

Thank goodness I have my handy dandy decoder ring to figure out what you're trying to say...
