Re: [Space]Steampunk Firefly Idea
Swap out one of the cargo holds for a soft landing system? But the point I'm aiming for will probably be 50 years AFTER the establishment of the first trans-lunar colony, making it a moot issue for the most part

Re: [Space]Steampunk Firefly Idea
<shrug> Okay, we won't look at the rocket engineer behind the curtain. I just wanted to point out that you didn't really have viable colonization ability at a hard science TL7.

Re: [Space]Steampunk Firefly Idea
I don't know how far you've progressed with history or anything, but this is what I might do with the idea.
I'd have conjunctions, perhaps with the help of an uninhabitable intermediary moon, that make transfer between the inhabited moon and one of the other moons easier, but only occurring every few decades. This allows for the occasional wave of lower tech colonisation events to have happened in the past, by the setting's mad scientists, religious cults, or now-defunct superpowers (think of Portugal today). The setting's modern tech allows freer transport between the worlds and so they are just coming to grips with the secret settlements and power bases that were established decades or even centuries ago.

Re: [Space]Steampunk Firefly Idea
Somehow the phrase "hard science TL7" got into a thread titled "Steampunk Firefly".

Re: [Space]Steampunk Firefly Idea
Both Steampunk and Firefly are pretty hard sci-fi
