Knowing Vitubia our Space arc will be less grimdark like 40k and more balls to the walls insane like Endless Space

>>43125120
Reposting for Sapling. I would ideally like this base to be set in the past because it would make sense that we would be interested in setting up this base circa 950 or so. It's up to you on that.

I also think we an ESL moment Hoomen, but the more I think about it, the more we really need to think about what exactly our relationship is historically because there are several ways of looking at it.
>1. From my understanding of your lore, your unification would probably have two effects on my nation.
>>a. Alarm. a militaristic state that espouses your values stands in contrast to my nation greatly.
>>b. "Well, At least our neighbors aren't schizos."
>2. With that in mind, I am interested in how our borders came to be. My nation would have preferred to have a more natural frontier border, I have brought this up with you several times, as well as with the map anons that I would rather not have my long northern border essentially be a valley.
>3. Why exactly are we cast as a friendly nation with you given that our ideologies are far apart, our cultures are not exactly similar, you sort of speak a totally different tongue, and your religion can be seen as rather revolutionary to my conservative nation? Furthermore, Why exactly would we be more than willing, as the proud nation we are, to help you establish a navy when we are more than capable of dealing with threats ourselves? What is my nation really getting out of this whole arrangement? It's not like we are lacking in things like raw materials and probably have a well developed, but perhaps backwards, economy. Food is hardly an issue for us either frankly, I don't know what oldrep was thinking and if i am honest... The only real reason I can think of is that we see you as a threat and would rather essentially be a tributary to you (Which I absolutely do not want at all.) It feels rather one sided all things considered, and given my nation's own superiority complex, it baffles me in a way.
>4. I also have had many headaches from being forced to accept past lore without much choice from the beginning. I would rather not hold on to lore that I did not create and came from an era in this thread that is totally different than the current thread. This is not to say we cannot be on good terms, but I would rather a relationship be actually mutually beneficial rather than just me giving you a bunch of things in exchange for practically nothing. I understand it was potatoes, but again, that raises the question of why we had issues with food to begin with considering we are a much older nation than you. It's also not like we cannot import food from other countries that we trade with.

In short, most of the disagreements we have come down to the simple fact that in the end, I was strapped with past lore and basically had to accept it. I do not want that to continue as it is just going to lead to my own frustration. Let's figure it out properly. Put it in a rentry, no more half heart efforts by either of us here.

Would Kaela and /mhm/ be the shipbuilders of space vitubia?

>>43136618
Probably not the only ones, but yea that could be one of their specialties. The finest Kaelan railguns.

>>43137097
We could add her streaming behaviour as a potential inspirational aspect, their crafts are made for efficiency and last long. A Kaela made space craft could easily be the type that you hear about when people talk about space ships or escape pods drifting through space while having fully intact and unharmed cargo

>>43136520
In my experience that burn out happens after you spend a long time working hard with little breaks both at work and home. And before you ask yes writing, drawing, and sometimes video games are work. So its best to find a schedule of meditation time between school, work, and home. Meditation if done right can make you feel more refreshed than napping.

>>43129578
Its alright Hoshiyomi, hope you feel better soon! Hopefully I'll have something of a write up about the Darkling Mire for when you return

>>43108985
Dunno who this was, but the idea of a big ass fish in a big ass aquarium on top of a big ass tree is pretty funny to me

>>43150228
The neat thing is that you could combine the fresnel lens and the aquarium in this setup, and the water would also act as as heatsink for the anglerfish's light, which would be produce large amounts of heat just by staying on. There was a kind of light bulb that did this, though obviously it didn't use water, what was it...

>>43153940
yeah, Id just feel bad for the lil fella up there all by himself

/meat/ in space is just dark eldar

>>43155401
Yeah, it wouldn't be a very exciting life... Well, the lighthouse keeper could keep it company. Maybe they could work in shifts? One month up the tree and then they're returned to the waves?

>>43155571
Ok, lets entertain the idea. How would we go about getting a 200lbs fish down from the top of a 300ft tree?

>>43155799
First, give the ship drugs so it chills out and its metabolism slows down. Second, fish the fish out of his aquarium with a crane. Third, cover the fish in a wet towel to keep it nice and moist. Fourth, lower the fish down the tree with the crane. Into some kind of chariot-bathtub.
Ez pz.

>>43155986
ship->fish

>>43155799
Have the inside of the tree be hollow and filled with water. Have the "fish" be a special mutated Sapling, who understands what his job is, so he ain't just swimming around.

>>43156113
Algaesapling... My beloved...

>>43156113
>be a special mutated Sapling
kinda feel like that'd be even more cruel
>hey sapling, thanks for your decades of ceaseless devotion to our goddess, you get to be a lightbulb now
I can't see many lining up for the job. Could conceivably use SCUM saplings, but that would involve forcing the blessing/curse onto someone to turn them into another semi-sentient being instead of "killing" them by turning them into a plant... Thats a whole kettle of cultural implications to start up...

>>43155986
>300+ foot crane
this is /uuu/, not /nasa/

>>43156397
What if it was a job with the highest honor, and highest hardship? Like, you spend half a year lighting up the seas like a badass, and then you get to be treated like an astronaut when you're back in your village while another LightSapling goes on-duty.

>>43156554
>when you're back in your village
Cant undo saplification effects, it'd be a one-way trip to fish-town

>>43156472
Anon, the crane is just mounted on the tree. Not like, standing next to it kek.

>>43156643
You mean an elevator then?

>>43156623
They can just live in a swamp village with the lillypadsaplings.

>>43156554
Basically this

>>43156714
Idk if Im being gaslit or if Im actually coming around to the idea now...

>>43156707
Not quite, just because an elevator can only go up and down. You'd want the fish-crane to be able to swing its pulley from over the fresnel-tank to the open/over the bathtub-chariot. Like in picrel.

Our thread’s pretty dead so maybe Liora knows…

There are still writers here, people still come visit to write and discuss worldbuilding. It will never be over until I start seeing literally only bumps instead of discussion inbetween! I think I've been too influenced by the hope of /wAIfu/ to the point I spread it to other places...

JUMP AND HUG THE BREAD DOG

Should we just make a shit ton of planets with and start building from there? I feel like that might be the way to go, I'm on a work schedule so while I'd like to sit around and brainstorm about shit I'm unavailable but things like that carbon based planet with diamonds under the surface seem like they'd be very important resources, not for diamonds as jewelry but for weapons and saws needed to carve up ships and build shit.

Proposal: Make an archive and anchor for the space stuff.

Ey yo bread dog, wanna have some fun?

And CLEAR

>>43188814
This but we should probably have a few actual lore entries for it first kek

>>43188814
>>43192348
I put together a little newfag guide, including a plant/system adding process
Feel free to try adding stellar objects, see if the system supports the use cases we need.
https://rentry.org/cvt40k-start-how
I think all this space stuff could go in a subsection of the main archive? Since there's already a section for AUs.
Also as always, feedback on the doc posted is welcome.

>>43194937
Planet/star*

Gentlemen?

>>43194937
I'd prefer a full new archive, so we don't have to slog through the old one in case stuff gets lost or misplaced

>>43195081
I don't feel strongly one way or another, a second archive to maintain is just a second archive to maintain. Second opinions?

>>43195192
I think an archive in the main archive is the way to go so a sub archive if you will.
It's a space setting so its going to have lots of possible factors to consider and info from how nations work to planetary conditions, best not to bog down the main doc too much with that kind of info.

Also, it might be a fun exercise to make an All Tomorrows galaxy of different body horror/spec bio creatures.

>>43196059
That's why I think a single nebula is too small a scale, we should extend it to a full on galaxy so we can populate it with as many things as we want

>>43196174
The Nebula does have like, a thousand systems, and prolly tens of thousands of planets. You could spec bio it for the rest of your life and it wouldn't be full.

>>43196331 (me)
Though you can also just write about stuff outside the Nebula, it just wouldn't have vitubium.

>>43195662
So, main archive has a link to the CVT40k archive? Yeah, I think that would work.

>>43196174
The only real limitations are that someone might get upset that their nation being present implies a history that they didn't consent to, although in that case just snap your fingers and say it's a coincidentally similar culture and shit. A nebula is plenty of space but we could make a new nebula, call it the Freak Shit Quasar or something

>>43197055
Desu the gods are in their Heaven(ly Realm), but there can be any arbitrary number of nations that worship them. Similarities are attributed to worshipping the same real divinity.

>>43195192
New archive

It needs an anchor regardless that all discussion on this can be put on because otherwise you have two different worlds and universes discussed. That can be confusing.

>>43196887
So why not just put a link to it in the OP then?

>>43198125
No, honestly this is more relevant now and the future than vitubia.

>>43198846
An anchor for it will be made regardless. If we have two archives, it makes sense to have an anchor for each. Whether it's relevant or not doesn't play a role here.

I'm just happy to see you here, bread man, it's still taking a bit for me to recognize you without the trip, but I'll get it soon enough. I should just sleep, I already had my bread breakfast so atleast a nap is needed. I should also write that idea about a pygmalion story, instead of just getting busy with other stuff that stops me from writing...

>>43203723
Oh also, since I have you here and it doesn't really need much input rn, as well as some thought before we do decide on it.

Wanna just cancel the whole graduation/ /nasa/ ending thing? It'd be more fun if we just continued on like normal, and it ain't like this is even all that much about actual threads anymore.

Aight, as requested. Doc where CVT40k-related stuff will be archived.

Cute, I'll add it to the next OP if I bake

>>43208876
I kinda wanna join the fun but for sci-fi I have even fewer materials that actually come from vtuber lore or the thread and I don’t know if I should fill the space with even more of my own preference

>I agree to start working with Hoshiyomi to make a port in /uuu/
>Fauna starts playing sailing game
WE ARE

>>43213631
>I don’t know if I should fill the space with even more of my own preference
even if you dot know how to represent vnug in sci fi, you really dont need to worry about representation that much since in a sci fi setting there can be multiple different representations of the same thread from different cultures and you adding any content to the discussion would help others by introducing a new way that they could interact with a new civ.
You got any spacey ideas that fit your preference? A spacey interpretation of /vnug/?

>>43214908
It’s /vtwbg/ so it would have to reflect what my home thread’s like but it’s not like we have a lot to reflect in that regard. I don’t think it would be too similar to what I’ve written for the main timeline as I don’t think it would be interesting to just port what I have to a different setting
So far I only have few random ideas that need some tidying up, but worldbuilding an eyeball planet sounds fun and both Liora and Kokone’s into mecha so I’ll put that in one way or another

>>43215171
Would Kokone's interest in the Cthulhu mythos come into play or are lovecraftian cosmic horror off the table for planet possum? I've yet to delve into the dreamlands and nodons part of the mythos but it could be a new avenue to explore.
Also, the hell is an eyeball planet? Looks cool and spooky, probably going to make for some interesting habitation as well

>>43215667
The Dreamlands is in its own dimension that humans can only access but also change it by dreaming. As much as it fits Kokone’s lore I don’t know how to work that into this setting as a concrete place. Maybe some kind of collective subconscious realm that people can tap into while dreaming?
Eyeball planets are cool! They’re basically planets that are tidally-locked to their star(s?) so one side is always sunny and hot while the other side is always dark and cold. In the case of habitable worlds without significant greenhouse effect the habitable regions might form a ring or a circle between these two extremes

>>43216030
I guess it really depends on what you end up going for, it could possibly act as a go between world to use for space travel, kind of like shadesmar in the cosmere.
So it'd have a kind of ring of life where people can live and grow crops without fear of the intense conditions? It sounds like this is a planet that doesn't rotate so would it not have a day night cycle?

>>43216498
I like the idea of astral projection as some kinda FTL method but I think I might hold off on that for now until I work out more about the planet itself
Basically yes although the conditions can still be kinda intense! Since one side of the planet’s always burning and the other side freezing the surface wind will always blow in the same direction from the cold side to the hot side, so I imagine the twilight zone will be constantly blasted by strong wind. That said the constant flow of wind and water (which will also flow in the same direction) also helps moderating the weather so that helps the ring of life to be somewhat survivable compared with the desert and the ice sheet
Tidally-locked planets technically still rotates, just that it rotates at a speed that makes one side of it always facing the star. Normally that would make the sun of the planet always at the same spot (like near the horizons for the twilight zone) but since planets kinda wobble by themselves the sun would still move slightly across the years that could allow for some seasonal change, although seasons on a planet like this can be more severe and less stable. I think people compare it to the seasons in ASoIaF

>>43205903
Well it depends. Sana's graduation will affect /nasa/'s chuubanite. So we might not be able to develop chuubanite space engine fuel. After graduation /nasa/ just disappeared. So we won't have a country on the map anymore either way.

That said just because Sana graduated does not mean Sanalites are gone. Most Sanalites would leave with Lamington station. However the Sanalites that remain will integrate into other nations and culture. My plan with the bakery is that the Sanalites moving to /who/ will need to do a lot of community service jobs to gain favor of the town. Sanalites will spread their culture and ideas with whoever they come into contact with regardless if we have Sana.

But these are just my thoughts. What's your thoughts on wanting to change the ending? Apologies for late response. I was finishing dinner.

>>43217006
It all comes back to ASoIaF...
Oh well, I wonder if mega twisters would be an issue with the climate dichotomy. I can see a very extensive system of underground networks that could be used to house the civilization and create new tech, but that's in the future, both the conceptual future and the temporal feature!
I think this is the kind of thing that I want to play around with in terms of a sci fi setting, a mix of both cool planetary features that actually exist and how a civilization would exist in them and improvised space tech that's more of a shrug and a nudge towards the more chaotic and pulpy nature of alot of sci fi. Need to start working on my own planet and its deal since alot of the worldbuilding for a civilization seems like it would start here

>>43217741
All cool on the response, no worries.

And no, I meant as in completely scrap the whole thing. We go back to the Civil War arc, end that up in a week or two and just go from there like normal. Not like chuubanite was any issue in the past anyway, so we don't lose anything there. We're a tech focused nation anyway, not a magic one.

>>43218202
We'll have to explain Sanalites leaving /nasa/'s territory somehow. The nation's gone if the thread is gone. If you want to change the ending then that's fine but I don't think we can bring /nasa/ back. Perhaps /nasa/ can be still around as a satellite colony in space. Sanalites can enter or leave the station but we will have no political influence on the world. Sound fair?

>>43218744
>bring /nasa/ back.
That's exactly what I'm saying. We scratch that whole deal and just keep having fun with it. Specially now that Sapling is here, we got some actual people on our side of the world. Bakery can just have some small details changed on the personell and how it was established, but it was gonna happen anyway, so that's cool.

>>43218901
Well we can say /nasa/ never left. However /nasa/ no longer has territory nor country on the ground. We also hold no political influence as Sana left the Hololive pantheon. The Sanalites on the ground are just people who want to be in Vitubia. Also for sanity sake /nasa/'s technology stays on the ship. If you move to earth then you leave your tech on the station.

>>43219373
Nope, we scratch all that. We literally turn the clock back to idk when was it, the summer? sometime after the squirrels left. Anything after that is a blank slate. So we still there, on the cold north, probably cleaning up after the Festival of the Sheep, wondering what's gonna happen next. Lamington still stands, schizo raids happen occasionally, Hoomans still drooling over our tech, Saplings still uuu-ing over our southern border, all that fun stuff. I think it'd be pretty fun, at least more fun whatever this rn is.

>>43215171
Future setting doesn't necessarily mean hard sci-fi, space fantasy would be cool too.
>>43215171
Tidally locked planets are awesome! Happy to see one pop up already. And if you start missing day cycles, you can always give it a moon that is tidally locked to the planet.
Also, evolution can sometimes be more fresh than a fresh start. How might Palkyries change, evolve and adapt over tens of thousands of years of spatial inhabitation? They might be unrecognizable from what they used to be. That's just one way to go about it though.
One thing for sure is that Valkyries are an amazing thematic fit for Gundams.

>>43218066
Lava tubes could be a good place to live in as the planet would have significant volcanism at least in the past, and being that close to the sun means some form of shelters from solar radiation would be necessary before shielding becomes a thing!

>>43220875
I like unusual worlds and a planet split in halves like that sounds pretty cool without being totally uninhabitable!
I don’t know if I want my works from the two settings be connected and the idea of Palkyries is to reflect the physical look of the fanbase without making them too unhuman anyway

>>43222292
>Lava can provide light and heat that fuels subterranean life
Holy shit why did I not think of that, volcano bros cannot stop winning

>>43219727
Whatever you decide then.

>>43222591
Are you up for it?

>>43222542
Life on Earth probably comes from around hydrothermal vents so in a way it has already happened! They would be an excellent source of energy and chemicals if I ever worldbuild an underwater species of sorts

>>43222722
I put Sana and /nasa/ behind me. That's why I'm just doing general food and agriculture world building now. My preference is that /nasa/ stays gone from Vitubia. Nations should reflect the thread. /nasa/ doesn't exist in the catalog. So it shouldn't exist on Vitubia.

>>43223142
Eh, ok, no fun then.

>>43220875
What would be the effect of the night cycle if you had like 40 moons? Could it be rigged in a way that its always night while also managing different variations of night, so kind of like different degrees of darkness to signify the night while never actually having a total day type time period?

>>43223497
I was told to move on from Sana so I did. You can do whatever with /nasa/. I'm just stating my opinion.

>>43222292
>I like unusual worlds and a planet split in halves like that sounds pretty cool without being totally uninhabitable!
Yeah! Someone else could also put their tidally locked planet in a binary system, so there's both a strip of habitable land and a day night cycle... The possibilities are endless.
>I don’t know if I want my works from the two settings be connected
That's understandable, I'm just throwing ideas around. Looking forward to what you come up with, as always.
>>43223510
Interesting idea... If those moons are big enough to reflect a significant amount of light, they'd probably result in a pretty exciting tidal cycle. There would be a once in a hundred years moment where every moon is aligned in the same axis and every coastal city gets flooded to shit. Sounds kino.

>>43224050
Yea, and I moved on as well, doesn't mean that we can't write for it tho.

>>43224322
No thread, no nation. Simple as.

>>43224487
I say there is a nation an a country. Simple as.

>>43127810
First,
>With that in mind, I am interested in how our borders came to be.
Hoshiyomia's older than the Republic. So honestly I have no qualms with Hoshiyomia occupying the more defensible borders. Something like parts of the south being originally under Imperial control but the natives rebelled. Which pushes the Imperials (now Hoshiyomians) to near the current borders. While there were some skirmishes borders didn't change much due to 1. internal politics of the Principality (historically the grand prince has less power over the nobels/ infighting, something like that) 2. subordinate relations between southern petty states with the Principality 3. Trade. The south's supposed to have a series of fortifications.
Second,
>Why exactly are we cast as a friendly nation with you
My headcanon is that it's more so the Republic approached the Principality for friendly relations. There weren't many interactions between Suzy and Mumei but she's the first JP to check out her stream. And note that the Republic was battered after the Founding War, even if it managed to prop up its economy and managed to win the war. Considering there has been an ongoing war between the fanbase and schizos for over a century the nobles are likely glad that it's over and not much had spilled over. It's also supposed to be focused on repairing the many ruined cities and recolonizing the ravaged countryside especially in the East. That would keep the Hoomans busy for decades to come. And depending on how your nobles work they could also be the ones bankrolling many of the projects after the war, wishing to line their own pockets with the potential returns. And based on existing trade/personal relations, and seeing the Republic as a lesser threat a friendly relationship would grow.
>to help you establish a navy when we are more than capable of dealing with threats ourselves?
Profits. Or not necessarily by the Hoshiyomian state officially. Could be a bunch of retired officers, sponsored by merchants from both side hired to establish a fledging navy that could protect their interest. (Though for the Republic it probably has some state involvement)
>Food is hardly an issue for us either frankly
Import for food surplus? Hoshiyomia could have a relatively less productive system. The noble landowners simply rent out their land to peasants like an open-field system. Which they barely invest in. Whereas their energy is more concentrated at sectors that gives them immediate return like artisanal industries. And since the land is owned by the nobles instead of granted by the king (historically?) it was hard for Hoshiyomia to make many land reforms. As such food surplus needs to be imported in order for cities to grow.
>Given my nation's own superiority complex
The rep might not agree with this but I want to make /who/ a sort of "quietly proud" nation. In that, while it does consider itself superior, it doesn't try to promote its lifestyle and project its power much. Modesty is practiced both on a personal level and an ideological level. So the good relation has a lot to do with the fact that the nobles get along fine with the politicians and elites of the Republic for a long time. While some consider the Republic a threat, for many years it was not that obvious since the benefits outweigh the potential danger. However both factors within the Principality and /who/ could slowly make the more belligerent parties win out in political discourse.
Third,
>I also have had many headaches from being forced to accept past lore without much choice from the beginning
I do relate to that somewhat. Luckily I have mostly similar thinking as the rep, only differing on details for the most part. I would ask you to forgive the old rep since none of us had much idea what we were doing back then. And I could help out more to hash out the history and stuff if you are struggling. Just ask.

d-d-do we clear? I'm still in training...

Just bump, nigger

look it's either you use the AED or you fucking push your entire weight on the chest of the person with your hands CLEAR

>>43237675
From my first aid class, really you want to be doing both, the AED to shock the heart out of fibrillation and the CPR to actually get the heart pumping again. Though either can happen without either procedure, depending on the patient.
Also fun fact proper CPR should damn near break the ribs of whoever you're saving.

A shout out to a certain sexy bitch from vnug for showing me her. I FUCKING love this bitch

>>43237976
I’m glad you enjoy her content! Her streams are pretty comfortable and her interest in TTRPG and mecha is a godsend if you’re into those as well!

Started putting together some WIP maps so people can visualize where the locations they might create would go. Readability probably needs some improvement.

Come oon.. CLEAR

Yeah we definetly should make an anchor for this stuff kek, this shit is amazing

>>43240960
Pretty

Would it be easier to call the setting Vitubia Space Renaissance? VSR is alot less of a mouthful than CVT40K

>>43254401
You're saying that when the project name is vtwbg. Though to be fair, I don't see why that C has to be there, it can just be VT40k, or if we drop the warhammer reference and go for a different number, []0k

>>43126896
neat stuff

Is there a way to have space guns that shoot bullets instead of just lasers or rockets?

>>43259214
Railguns i think do. Idk look into stellaris unironically

>>43259675
I have it in my library but I've always loathes games that have 100$ plus worth of dlc content, like fuck off and just put that into the main game at that point.
How do railguns work exactly?

>>43259214
Other than electromagnetically accelerated projectiles, smart projectiles and Electrothermal-chemical weapons come to mind. There's also nothing stopping you from staying with simple slug throwers but just with a bigger boom. Really depends on what kind of aesthetic and such you want. Hell UNSC from Halo also canonically still uses 7.62x51mm (albeit I think they were improved and iterated upon) when it's set 500 years into the future.

>>43259772
>railguns
Lines of electromagnets on either side of the chamber that push a magnetic projectile through when turned on. So far the tech isn't that advanced irl, but in theory it is the next step, at least for larger calibers.

>>43259772
There are also coil guns to consider. Rail guns are "simple" in that they are basically using electricity to accelerate and force the projectile down along a rail. Whereas coilguns use electromagnetic fields to 'suck' the projectile forward by turning on coils in a sequence and thus creating velocity.
The latter requires very tight timing and are more complex. While railguns suffer from short barrel life and the tremendous heat generated, they generally fire with a higher velocity. Though those are mostly problems that people have encountered contemporarily.

>>43262053
>The latter requires very tight timing and are more complex.
That's the really fun part. Finding the right frequency of turning them on to make the "wave" push with as much force as possible is just so satisfying.

Vitubia Stellaris Mod soon?

>>43266753
As soon as the eu4 mod finishes

>>43254401
I like CVT because it makes me think of Continuously Variable Transmission which amuses me. But any name that people like would be fine. It's not like the meta name has in-universe applications.
>>43256930
I think we could go for a different number if we wish, but I'd like to point out the tangible benefit of the 40k immediately letting a newcomer know what kind of setting this is through prior knowledge without even having to explain anything.
>>43261165
Actually, that would qualify as a coilgun, which are also very cool. Railguns use electrified rails running current through the projectile to create a Lorentz force on it.
>>43259214
Besides what the others have said, you could also try remixing gyrojets (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gyrojet)), with more advanced tech they can plausibly be viable. They're basically guns where the bullet's gunpowder burns like in a rocket instead of by exploding, accelerating over a longer period and making it spin without rifling. In theory, they could also get to velocities higher than what is allowed by the use of expanding gas in traditional firearms, though that was never implemented.
Chuubanite is also available if you wish, and chuubanite-based weapons also wouldn't necessarily be limited by those same projectile velocity limits, depending on how you set it up.
>>43267280
kek

>>43270032
Then I support us just using 40k for the name and the age of the setting. Simple and easily recognizable, as you said.

>>43270926
Just 40k is easily confused with actual warhammer 40k though. There should prolly be at least one other letter to prevent that ambiguity. So V40k? But VT40k has a nice harmony with /vt/ and /vtwbg/.

>>43271374
VT40K sounds nice, or at least better than V40k since V40K also sounds like it'd be easily confused with warhammer. I like the term Space Renaissance and the abbreviation of VTSR though, it rolls off the tongue and is a nice juxtaposition to OSR.

>>43272597
VTSR and VT40k are both nice. Other opinions?
