So nothing more has been introduced nor have i answered any questions for a very good reason.

Very few people know this, mostly Sarah and rest of tech. But on the 26th of last month i was hospitalised with a serious life threatening infection that i almost died from in hospital. As I write this from my hospital bed, I have about three more weeks in hospital as I rehab back to being on my feet. So this is the only post im going to be doing about this as while you deserve an answer I deserve not to have to deal with club stuff while im still on the mend.

First of all.

The USCM isnt about reinventing the wheel. It makes one real system change mechanically. That being to convert from basing ship size and capability off of crew compliment to mass and volume.

Chapter one is unsurprisingly just the first step in the process of the new method and its about outlining a specs capabilities. Ita supposed to be framework level not final detail level. Its about taking an idea and knowing what you have to work with as you make further design choices.

There is no desire or intent to remove detail and nuance from specs or to make them cookie cutter. The USCM is more about making the process logical and straight forward to do, so that its entry level is low but its mastery level is high.

Always remember too before you decide to blast off on a angry tirade. Every step has been marked wip or work in progress. No one is attempting to ram through anything.

Thankyou for your comments i look forward to continuing this discussion after i get out of hospital.
