Hey everyone,

I mentioned in one of my earlier comments that I'd post the Invictus' final weapon loadout when I'd finished writing chapter 75. 

Attached is the document I wrote prior to the refit. It includes the weapon loadouts during the various refits, and also Rachel's (my) plan for coordinating all of the work needed during the refit.

I hope you find it interesting!

beefy little assault cruiser, or is it battle cruiser now? (I'm still all for pocket dreadnaught)

Felipe Andrade

I don't know if it's because I'm not a native speaker or have no military/navy background, but I have no idea what those ship classes mean. Size, purpose, I'm always lost. A document similar to this explaining those would be great. A link that's more or less true to your ideas would work as well.

Felipe Andrade

I think it missed a bit drama/angst on Tashana transaction, it felt a bit abrupt. Loved everything else though. It was getting hard to deal with the waiting withdrawal.

Everyone writing naval influenced fiction goes back to the WW2 days. :) Modern ships are down to 4 classes and even some of those are merging. (Frigate/Destroyer, Cruiser, Carrier are pretty much it) Really the main difference is role these days. Frigates are anti-sub, Destroyers are antiship with decent AA, Cruisers are heavy AA with some antiship. The size of the ships have pretty much stabilized.

Daniel Sifrit

That big hangar is hinting that we will start seeing drones soon. :) At least Fay-controlled parasites of some sort. I have been expecting them for a long time - given replicators there is no reason not to move to semi-disposable short range drones. Still need the Raptor for its main job of shuttle, and probably a true stealth replacement since the Raptor isn't anymore...

Super Nova Lance with multiple beam convergence

Dennis Aston

One thing I never understood... With Nova Lance's being so powerful, why go double barrel on a target? Why not stagger a shot on a new target every 15 seconds if the recharge time is 30 seconds?

GrandPaM

Hmm... 4 Medium/Heavy Drone ships with a Progenitor Power core each, and enough size for like 2 beam lasers, shields, and a Nova Lance each - even if they are basically tethered around Invictus for short radius orbits due to keeping Faye's communications links intact - and the Invictus then has the basic hitting power of an entire SQUADRON of ships...

Wookey

Tefler, can you contact me via email address. Have a table 1/2 prepared taking what you have sent which could be updated every time there is a refit

IronLance

LOL, a 10 storey hangar bay, someone will have to see how good an echo chamber it is. (Based on 9 decks (Command thru 9), the Inertial Negation Device was listed as 100m tall in the first refit, making each deck just over 10m in height. Primary Hangar was listed as decks 6-9, i.e. over 40m in height, rough industry standard height for commercial building floor spacing is 3m, with the ground floor being slight taller.) Get Dana to turn off gravity in the hangar and play 0g games.

Wookey

Tefler, how many Maliri have now had their hair bleached by John? I note that John has moved from 25 Maliri bleaches a session in previous visit to 75 this time round. On that basis he is probably >5,000 i.e. 3 sessions a day x 75 per session x 21 days, plus 500 from last time.

Hang on, if the turret wells and singularity driver rails take up deck 2 where have the officer's quarters been moved to and also with the crew/guest quarters on deck 4, wouldn't need to be sound proofed from the sounds of decks 3 & 5?

Michael B. Stewart

I thought I would share a minor typo before this is fully released. "John nodded, and replied, 'Yes, she's a telepath like your mother. It comes in quiet handy.'" "quiet" should be "quite". Thanks.

Earlier you mentioned that thralls live as long as the progenitor. He's making immortals at an impressive rate.

Jedi Khan

Is it just me or did the Invictus become more like a current naval ship in its internal layout, where in order to get from point A to point B, you first have to go to point C or even point D?

2026-09-07 11:00 Tashana's memories : I hope before John wipes her memories of the Waste Lands they examine them in detail about the Underworld & the Enshunu & the brass rod . Being forewarned of any danger from them & reawaken Underworld could save some lives . Also will John be able to duplicate his Astral plan Armor in the physical world ? Being invisible & untouchable would be an awesome upgrade .

Wait did I read it right, they can shoot singularity drivers every 1 sec ?

Terra_Lupis

I just thought of this and will bring it to the attention of everyone else. Apart from rescuing damaged little birds, John has done more mercenary work than trading. Also can't wait for him to spend more time with the Trankarans as we only got a small glimpse into their sector as the was the time of Progen-John. Was also just re-reading the comments from Chapter 25 on Literotica and realised that one room that really hasn't seen that much usage is the pharmacy.

Steve Langford

Tefler, are we going get a word count up progress to publishing Ch76?

Tefler

I've written 4k of chapter 76 so far. I'm hoping to get an other few thousand written this evening.

Hammerhead

Tefler, a question for you... A while back, you asked us to rank John's girls. I am curious whether the results influenced you in the role each of the heroines play. Did you feel the need to alter or expand any given character's traits? Did the results change the storyline? Inquiring minds want to know.

LostSoul

One thing that I been trying to figure out is just how wide and tall Invictus is. We know that the ship is now 750 meters long. Now if memory serves me correct the ship has 9 or 10 decks. If we say each deck is 3 meters tall that would only be 27-30 meters tall. I would think the ship would be much taller than that. Say a aircraft carrier is 74.3m( counting mast) tall, 76.8m wide, and only 332.8m in length.

Dennis Aston

With so many guns I have this mental image of the Invictus looking like some kind of crazy porcupine but with all sides covered.

The beam turrets replaced existing turrets on the ship though...and those were hidden. And I just looked at Tefler's sketch of the Invictus and they seem to be hidden as well. Am I wrong?

And the new Invictus does look like a Damacles Sword now.....very sleek and just looks like it makes the statement, I am with the good guys but don't make the mistake of thinking I am easy prey.

Tefler

All of the weapons are hidden behind armour plating in the hull: Singularity Drivers - Each 400m barrel is embedded in the hull, and now sit where each pair of Mass Driver rails used to be. Nova Lances - They have two, and each one occupies the hardpoint that used to mount 3 Terran beam Lasers Heavy Cannons - The huge turret wells are there so that the 40m weapons can lower into the hull. Gauss Cannons - The turret wells for these are much smaller, and are mounted on the underbelly - all retractable. beam Lasers - These are all mounted in the old turreted Laser Cannon hardpoints, which are designed to retract. Pulse Cannons - These occupy the Gatling Laser turrets, which are also designed to retract.

Master Laurent

Greetings Tefler, After chapter 82 can you please update the word doc and also provide a description of the weapons - I do not know the difference between the beam weapons, Photon Lasers, etc. I did some googling on the gauss cannons / pulse cannons and found several different descriptions. I am going to post a questions on Lit and see if someone has created a cheat sheet.

2026-09-07 11:00 OK, I need some help, *LOL - other than a lobotomy/electroshock treatment according to most* Dana states “We just need to upgrade the heatsinks on the rest of the Invictus’ weapons now,” - What are the weapons she is talking about and the benefits? Photon Lasers, Done, 150%+ Pulse Cannons, Done, ??? Nova Lances, Yes, 150%+? Singularity Driver, Probably, ???% Gauss Cannons, Probably, ???% Heavy Cannons, Doubtful, ???% Also - What about the ESP (Enhanced Shield Penetrating) Projectile rounds for the heavy cannons? That is something the heatsinks may help with. ESP Singularity rounds with Dana touch magic????? And how about Dana doing her metallurgic magic on the projectile rounds? This can be done ASAP on route to the Trankaran space. Bringing forward from past comments - the 80mm Quantum Sniper Rifle for the Valkyrie / Raptor with ESP / Dana rounds?
