All Comments on 'A Viper's Nest Ch. 12'

Welcome back, excellent story.

Thanks.

Alright Alright Alright

Great, you’re back I thought the story was abandoned

Um didn't post my Matthew McConaughey salute. Welcome back. Alright Alright Alright lol

Just to say that I’m still writing this story, it just takes time. Feel free to join my discord (available on my user profile), for more up-to-date info.

This is a truly great series

wow nice to you back..... Been awhile.. please keep up the good work.............

Good to see you are carrying on with the story.

I would have liked to have seen an explanation as to why they didn't remotely control all the turrets from a combat room from within the bridge rather than having manually be next to or in the turrets to aim and fire them. It seems to put lives at risk for no additional benefit.

I got the idea from Battlestar Galactica. They have gunners inside the turrets, so I decided to roll with it. Plus if you like big aliens with muscles, the gunnery vipers fit the bill.

@VioletOrchid85 - Thanks for the reference and explanation.

I found a video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUcrdlIjvsI which led to the comment "It makes sense with Galactica not being networked as a defense against Cylon hacking, but that is a lot of crew dangling out in danger!". So the reasoning for gunners in turrets was because as a defense against Cylons hacking the network. Not sure if its canon or not as that was just a comment under a YouTube video.

Another thread pointed out that the Millennium Falcon had manual turrets but I think that's probably because of space reasons as the Imperial Warships were never shown with people manning their turrets.

I also thought it was cool :P

Hello to all, just a quick comment to say that I'm pausing chapter 13 so I can edit chapters 1-10. Once done I'll start uploading each chapter to here and elsewhere again.

The pause to improve the story was a good move. I only found this due to the re-release of chapter 1 This is an amazing space opera and I am looking forward to the coming chapters. Thank you for sharing your talent. 5 stars for all chapters.

Thanks.
