Thank you for keeping with human narrators it is why Starbound HFY is the premier Sci-Fi story channel. Great story but very rushed ending. The story went from Thorn keying in the jump sequence in a final prototype to... " they're everywhere" ending with the sudden death of all Kryll. Where is the return of Thorn's ship, the building of the new warships, the attacks against the Kryll, the desperate sending of the "They're everywhere" signal, the recovery of the alien species allying with the dreadfully scary humans.

[@deanfirnatine7814]

Started off great then crashed, made no sense humans were out there without FTL and the the vague ending?

[@mandolinic]

The basic premise of the story is unsound - it's not possible to have an interstellar war without FTL drives. The distances between stars are too vast.

[@kentroglobalinvestmentllc8921]

Bro. It’s called fiction. Ever hear of Star Wars, dune, or any other story involving vast distances ?

[@chestermabanag8590]

​​@@kentroglobalinvestmentllc8921 yeah they and they all used FTl or some kind of shit to travel faster than light

[@patlab555]

@@kentroglobalinvestmentllc8921Star wars have FTL alike using hyperspace engine, Dune has space bending/folding technology with the spice for navigation... @mandolinic is right, it's not possible to have an interstellar war without a technology to allow you to travel between stars faster than the speed of light, whatever the tec you're using, EVEN in a fiction

[@SeedlingNL]

They were looking for a new kind of FTL, one that was considerably faster but ludicrously dangerous. Basically, the difference between hyperspace and quantumspace in Babylon 5.

[@mandolinic]

@@kentroglobalinvestmentllc8921 It's actually SCIENCE fiction, and HARD science fiction, too, so it has to pay lip-service at least to scientific accuracy. As for Star Wars, the Millennium Falcon has hyperspace engines, and in the Dune universe, Guild Heighliners have fold-space engines, which are guided by spice-mutated navigators. Both are forms of FTL travel, and both are fine examples of my point: that interstellar war (and commerce, empires, bureaucracy, etc) is ONLY possible with FTL.

[@michaelroy7754]

Why is the admiral less experienced than the captain? This makes no sense.

[@ruflcupter5]

Real life, how is sergeant more experienced than lieutenant.

[@ruflcupter5]

@@jammer68the question was how a lower rank could be more knowledgeable than upper rank. EXPERIENCE. lineman being one up on deskman. Thank you.

[@marktaylor6553]

How did they fight a galactic war without FTL in the first place? This makes no sense.

[@c.guydubois8270]

Carefully?

[@joegraud1855]

Humans have something called “keep shooting until it falls” 😊

[@davidhenderson3400]

The end makes no sense. The only thing I can think of is what they thought was a FTL drive was in fact some kind of transdimensional drive. The ships that disappeared ended up stuck between realities. With at least one being able to phase back into our reality enough to destroy all the Krell everywhere. But is that is the case then this story left out several chapters.

[@dommydemon]

Omg love it ty

[@DrgnLdyLizzie2001]

I read the title wrong! I thought humans went extinct.

[@tachyon8317]

I saw one video where that was implied. Read by Agro, or NetNarrator, I forgot who. Talkede about xeno battlefield adopted Human Rangers... That none could ever recall ever seeing a Human.

[@StarboundHFY]

fixed :)

[@trenttrent2786]

If we die we will take as many of them with us

[@jasonryanbenitez870]

Huh?? This is confusing 😔 You mean those experimental ships where aimed at the aliens home world causing damge to them? Who the heck would send experiments at an enemy where they could possibly discover FTL too from a failed experimental ship😮

[@patlab555]

yeah, you're right, this does not make any sense

[@deanfirnatine7814]

Yep, how would we even be out there without FTL then the vague ending?

[@korinogaro]

Not defending the story because author failed as hell but it is not a big problem to put nuclear warhead or couple on the ship and make it explode when speed falls under X. Hard to back engineer stuff from plasma.

[@phobiaone306]

That story has holes in it, and the ending made no sense. Galactic War with no FTL?

[@whosaidthat5236]

Can’t have fire or fireballs in space no oxygen.

[@hawk7825]

Banger!

[@bbryan1973]

The story itself has more holes than an acre of Swiss cheese.

[@robertcross9863]

You know I love that I finally found another Chanel like agro squirrel narrates that actually bothers to read the stories themselves instead of using those stupid ai voices

[@kentroglobalinvestmentllc8921]

You found the algorithm on this one omg.

[@alganhar1]

Nothing wrong with the reading, that was fine, the story however was trash...

[@mikewaterfield3599]

Hipity, hopity, GET OFF MY PROPERTY!

[@yomogami4561]

for the algorithm

[@Ugapiku]

Suggestion, with AI you could have different pictures...

[@sdragut]

good start, bad ending. seems like someone else who wanted the story over finished it

[@jonuiuc]

Yeah this story wasn't very good. Has that ai repetitiveness and abrubtness. Reading was fine though.

[@careydodson2804]

All right, I am so confused. What just happened? The story is so full of holes I didn't know where to step without breaking an ankle. Sounds like it may have been piecemeal together from a bunch of other stories. Perhaps this story should have been read over and scrutinized before publishing. Confusing confusing confusing.

[@mrgunn2726]

You lost me with the human shield... dumb.

[@arkandrada3305]

No such thing as “listing” on outer space…

[@harleaqin]

Good reading on a bad story.

[@1983sergev]

Meh... Characters lacking depth/dimension, poor understanding of interstellar war in terms of distance/amount of deaths/ressource count. Had it been presented as a defensive war to protect 1 star-system against invaders it would have been ok-ish I guess, but as presented, it's trash sci-fi at best. 3/10 for trying and publishing it, but the author needs to do a lot more research on the classics like Asimov, Herbert, Salvatore, Carter, Campbell and others who earned their reputation for a reason: you can't write Sci-Fi w/o Science behind it or it's just fiction set in space... Can't write a good story w/o a good understanding of WHAT makes a good story either.

[@farmerfb]

This is stupid... half way through they found an ftl drive...what a bad story. Great dictation though, you can't be responsible for a broken story.

[@Vaquero4382]

I appreciate the human narration, but the story was, ultimately, third rate. Sort of Deus ex machina.

[@richardrejmer8721]

More AI written crap. . Full of inconsistencies and logical flaws in the storyline.

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

Interesting story, but the title is wrong.

[@sandralouth3103]

Gotta get my Sci Fi fix.
