I stand semi-corrected. | |

In Response To: Contradictions and astronomy. (uberfoop) Assuming the math I just did is right, for LNoS to be seen from 1900 miles away along Reach's curvature, it would have to flying at over 650km. Technically this is still very much withing what would be considered low orbit, and I'm not, strictly speaking, totally wrong, but that altitude is probably substantially higher than what we see it at in-game. What I'm saying is, my estimate of "substantially larger than the old Mongol Empire" is presumably exaggerated if the LNoS wasn't being fairly variable in its altitude. The area in which it would be visible at the altitude seen is still fairly huge, but not THAT huge. A Mongol Empire division instead of a Mongol Empire, or something.
