[quote who="eoncommander" reply="410" id="2347942"]oh, gotta go back and read 10.2 again[/quote] Actually, I went back again and replaced points of antimatter to units of antimatter. I liked that better.
[quote who="eoncommander" reply="414" id="2347958"] yeah i've been reading that. and why does the High One have to be human? Not saying yes or no, just want to know your reasoning. its a guess. he said, "good hunting." its a term a modern military man might use, not an advent god[/quote] Ok.....ha not the connection I was trying to achieve, but you'll see who else uses that phrase in later chapters...
[quote who="eoncommander" reply="412" id="2347954"]much better. talking about chapter 10, part 2. i would tweak a few things, like instead of a private have a colonel or something, who might actually have contributed to the design, or overseen the building o fthe ship, and who would actually know something about the ship. but thats very minor[/quote] Well, a scientist could have a low rank and still work on the ship.

[quote who="eoncommander" reply="410" id="2347942"]oh, gotta go back and read 10.2 again i liked the removal of the psitech bit, thought it made a lot of sense. and i use IE, and the font looks weird all in all, a very good chapter. though the high one must be human. i mean, a normal human, or at least used to be. have you read The Undying's post about the background to sins? https://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/360075 it is quite good [/quote]
OK! Both chapters 10, 2 and 10, 3 have been edited and changed! If you still have problems with them, let me know. And before anyone mentions this, antimatter will remain in points. Not changing that, that's how they measure how much they have of it.
[quote who="HiddenMaster" reply="406" id="2347414"]Now, the thing about Hati removing Veronica's psitech, I think theres a problem with that. In the Sins manual, it says that the Advent use neuro chemicals and cybernetic implants to augment their psionic abilities. I would assume that everyone in the Unity, uses these to increase psionic abilities, and the higher ranking people in the Advent are the ones that are simply more

A NOTE: The High One and occasionally Haiti speak in what, for now, is known as the High One's language. On Firefox where I post and edit these chapters, the font symbol doesn't appear. Only on Internet Explorer and Impulse can you see the symbol font, but on Internet explorer it does this weird thing with an indent so I wouldn't recommend viewing it on their either. I don't know about Google Chrome or any other web programs, but for now only on Impulse can you correctly see this chap
