  • Any ship traveling towards another ship would have its nose pointed towards it.

    If both ships travel towards each other, their noses would be aligned, but their roll would likely be different.

    That’s a bit different from what’s being shown in the comic where ships seem to have any orientation, no matter the context.

    As for a galactic up/down, the galactic disc would be the obvious reference. That still leaves a 50/50 chance that two civilizations would choose the same direction as up.
















  • I am fine with anyone blocking me. I absolutely agree that doesn’t somehow ‘infringe on my free speech’ or whatever. My concern was about self censorship, social pressures, enforcing taboo within communities that would use tools such as this. I think the real victims of labelling ‘good’ and ‘bad’ people by color will end up being the members of the very communities that embrace this kind of idea. It does absolutely remind me of an episode of Black Mirror. I think it’s a very ‘dark path’ kind of thing, whether people might find that dramatic or not.

    “go meet your neighbors and make some connections that matter” - is pretty condescending. My neighbours are nice. Danish woman and a Polish guy. But then again, I can’t see their ‘color’, so who really knows.
