SM > CMTM
Wait, what

Much of the CMTM is reprinted from the original Dark Horse UK magazine articles, right? Was it from there?

My car mechanic will never give me a straight answer either.

It mentions it can go faster, but says it's not sustainable and doesn't say by how much.

Yeah I do. Unless there's another contradictory mention of the 0.74 as max speed I just have "high cruising speed".
Great. Now I'm going to be tearing my hair out trying to find the source of that quote.

Anyone have a first edition printing of the CMTM handy? If LBW fixed* it in a revision, then great. I just want to know I'm not entirely insane.QuoteIt was first published on March 1, 1995, and has been reissued twice — by HarperPrism in 1996 and Titan Books in 2012.

* - the "high cruising speed" still seems too slow, but at least it's not "maximum" anymore...

Maybe it was from an earlier edition of the book. I know I didn't just invent that quote out of thin air.
Quote from: SM on Aug 25, 2020, 11:11:22 PMQuoteI absolutely believe mistakes can be made in any medium, I make them all the time and I have no difficulty admitting so. 0.74 light years per sidereal day is indeed a high cruising speed for Conestoga's, and the film indeed does show the Sulaco traveling much faster, precisely as I stated above. Can you explain where the conflict is here?
It's pretty obvious that would be a waste of time.
