One of my favourite things on the Roci are the point defense cannon (PDC).

In space they make a little brrrrrt noise

In atmosphere they sound like artillery. BOOM BOOM BOOM. And they act like artillery too, all you can do is try to cover your ears.

Just fun to think how powerful those "little" PDCs need to be.

+1 for the Roci

Finished the series this week and am already suffering from withdrawal.

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

Read the books! There's tons more. Unless that's what you mean.

[-] Naja_kaouthia@sh.itjust.works 5 points 11 months ago

Ah that book ending though. chef’s kiss

[-] MrSpArkle@lemmy.ca 4 points 11 months ago

It was pure perfection. Like if you’ve only seen the tv show, the book ending isn’t something you need to read, it’s something you deserve to read.

Yeaah, I really need to get to them! Especially since the last 3 didn't make it to the TV series, from what I've read.

[-] Naja_kaouthia@sh.itjust.works 3 points 11 months ago

I assure you you won’t regret it.

Should have known I’d already find the Roci here.

[-] starman@programming.dev 6 points 11 months ago

This ship inspired me to ask this question :)

[-] QuarterSwede@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago

Oh that’s a good ship.

I was going to say the Trimaxion Drone Ship from Flight of the Navigator. Seems lame now. lol.

ahem

Definitely not the Chetzemoka lol

Although as much as I love the Roci, I might have to go with the Donnager as my real favorite. It's just so damned intimidating.

[-] illi@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Love seeing Roci up top!

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Seriously? Someone named a spaceship after an old horse?

Cool.

I'm a huge Expanse fan, but come on. Compared to the Enterprise, the Roci shouldn't even be hauling garbage, it should be taken away as garbage!
