Honestly, I suspect that mostly only affects business level users, who need the easier access without authentication on the computer side, or personal users who are idiots and set it up to log into the computer on the other end without a password. Anytime TV tries to connect to my home PC, the...

Yeah, I think that's the key. If they switched side DURING and fought with the good guys, they're eligible for any award they earned. if they switched sides after, though, they're not really eligible.

The issue with awarding them the medal is that you're effectively awarding the enemy for fighting against you. They may have fought in the same conflict, but they weren't fighting for the same goal which the medal is commemorating.

Generally speaking, if you use examples from IRL (of which, admittedly, there are few), you only receive medals from buddies. So even if you change sides later, unless you fought on the side that is awarding the medal during the specific conflict, you don't receive it. It's pretty common to...

((OOC: Just so you know, this will never be anything more than non-canon at this point. Earth is a lost planet, and even mentions of it are a no-no. We may be in the same universe, but we have absolutely no idea where earth is, or even how long it's been since we knew where it was.))

I tend to categorize them more or less like Primitive. It's more Fantasy than Science-Fiction, to me, even if they do include certain elements of science.

Trust has never been a commodity when it comes to dealing with Yamatai, though. For pretty much anyone, including most of Yamatai itself.

Personally, I'm with you on the idea, Fred. I'd rather not see it happen at all. But if it happens, I'd rather see it happen as a limited use, plot related thing, instead of just a random piece of technology Yamatai develops and then never touches again.

Honestly? I'd do something in character to justify a lack of usage on it. Maybe have it be a piece of alien tech someone in a plot finds, sends off to headquarters, and moves on? That way, you can use it a few times to make the moves you're thinking of, then it can "break" in character, and...

I believe that under Doshii's reading, damage over the Threshold is applied to the shield until it runs out, then it applies to the hull.

Just for the sake of clarity, it's still listed in the submission rules that other submissions or existing content can't be used as justification for a submission. Your submission is judged on its own merits, not what it does or doesn't have that other articles do or don't.

Bad phrasing on my part. I meant that the ship behind the shield will take absolutely nothing, and at SDR1, they're going to take a while to get through any decent shielding. I suspect that's what Doshii was trying to check, that you meant this to be a very lightweight weapon. Also, what's the...

You're missing the point he was trying to make. Each weapon's impact is counted against the Threshhold separately. A shield system with a threshold of 2 would take no damage whatsoever from a dozen SDR2 hits, but it would take damage from a single SDR3 hit.

It's an alternate form of the word, but it's a valid one.

The short form of it is technically spelled with an s from what I can see, Osaka. You can be "prizing" something open, but you "prise" it open. Apparently that one is the same on both sides of the pond.

I'll drink one for you tonight, Lamb. Best of luck to you in getting things sorted out, but I'm sure you'll manage.

Basically, do you want to be specialized for emergency lifesaving, and field work (as an enlisted soldier), or the more sterilized, hospital room kind of medical work (as an officer)?

To reiterate the last part of what I said, though, a medic and a doctor are two very different jobs, though it wouldn't be horribly unusual for a small ship's doctor to serve as their medic. Which job were you looking at?
