      One of my favourite things on the Roci are the point defense cannon (PDC).

      In space they make a little brrrrrt noise

      In atmosphere they sound like artillery. BOOM BOOM BOOM. And they act like artillery too, all you can do is try to cover your ears.

      Just fun to think how powerful those “little” PDCs need to be.

      +1 for the Roci

      Finished the series this week and am already suffering from withdrawal.

            It was pure perfection. Like if you’ve only seen the tv show, the book ending isn’t something you need to read, it’s something you deserve to read.

          Yeaah, I really need to get to them! Especially since the last 3 didn’t make it to the TV series, from what I’ve read.

        Should have known I’d already find the Roci here.

      Oh that’s a good ship.

      I was going to say the Trimaxion Drone Ship from Flight of the Navigator. Seems lame now. lol.

      ahem

      Definitely not the Chetzemoka lol

      Although as much as I love the Roci, I might have to go with the Donnager as my real favorite. It’s just so damned intimidating.

      Seriously? Someone named a spaceship after an old horse?

      Cool.

      I’m a huge Expanse fan, but come on. Compared to the Enterprise, the Roci shouldn’t even be hauling garbage, it should be taken away as garbage!
