Much appreciated.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Specific responses to:\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Tex Killer - Yes very Star Trek Inspired\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nelien - Thanks, the ending was very very rushed. It's admittedly pretty tacked on. Very good idea about connecting the narratives, that could have been interesting.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>-Dylan Gallardo"},{"author_name":"ChronusZ","author_uid":"10652","time":"Dec 18, 2013 @ 1:54am","epoch":1387331340,"text":"This is quite an interesting concept, and the orbital physics seem very well done.
