Minor inconsistency, on the Soft Cathedral page it says they were exterminated with singularity weapons but on the Sagittarius Sphere page it says there exterminated with conversion weapons.

Fixed Smile It now says conversion weapons in both articles.

Thanks for catching this!

Links to the Void Factory article at https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/56a75bc63a599
are missing from many (all?) of the Void bubble related articles, although the Factory article has links to them.
I discovered the Void Factory link while searching the forum to find something about bubble production rates.

I have a vague memory of reading the Factory article a few years ago, so I suspect the loss of the links to it happened relatively recently.

E.g. I think the following articles, linked to by the Factory article, should link to the Factory article:

https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/493f257196523 (Displacement Drive)

https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/493ea0a001290 (Halo Drive)

https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/493f29cc472f0 (Reactionless Drives)

https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/4b53cbf383f6a (Void Bubble)

https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/5624484e9ce65 (Void Pocket)

https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/493e974094949 (Void Ships)

https://www.orionsarm.com/eg-article/4b76a3e624ba6 (Void Swarms)

Some of these articles have links to other articles which might benefit from links to the Factory article, but I think those listed above are sufficient.


ETA: at the moment the Weylforge article and the Technology article seem to be the only articles linking to the Void Factory article.

Done; thanks!

It’d be nice if the page at https://www.orionsarm.com/page/552 (Voices: Future Tense Submissions) were to include links to the other pages related to the magazine, or, better yet, if they all linked to one another. These pages include

https://www.orionsarm.com/page/472 (Calls for Submissions)

https://www.orionsarm.com/page/516  (Voices: Future Tense)

Unfortunately, my impression is that the magazine is on indefinite hiatus, since no issues seem to have been published since 2015 (https://www.orionsarm.com/page/513), and that issue has an introductory statement which says it’s the last one for a while. It’d be nice if a statement describing the current status were included in one or more of the pages mentioned above.

this rewrite of the calls for submissions page is almost done 
https://www.orionsarm.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=4797

Which replaces “voices future tense” with a more general “Orion’s arm universe project “

yes. We have some of the older issues backed up on Todd’s hard drive apparently so those can be fixed at some point when that’s possible to get the files



RE: Proof-reading EG - selden - 06-16-2021

Thanks for the link. That’s one of many forum topics I hadn’t read.

In the data panel “Territory and Population”
The last line consists of the titles of various Population statistics but doesn’t show any values.

It’d be really nice if the “Stories by Author” page at https://www.orionsarm.com/xcms.php?r=oa-story-list&list=by-author included an indication for those stories which were published in hard copy. It’s a bit disappointing to select a story to read and then get a message that it was published elsewhere instead of the text of the story. A parenthetical comment in the story’s title itself would be very helpful I think.

I seem to recall a previous report that stories by authors whose last names start with an H are out of order, being located before stories by authors whose names start with a G.

Also, the one author whose last name starts with an I is in the middle of those starting with a J.

Otherwise, the ordering seems ok.


RE: Proof-reading EG - selden - 06-22-2021

Noticed on discord by ATMLVE, the date for board members seems inappropriate on the page https://www.orionsarm.com/xcms.php?r=oa-people#person2 (Contributor Bios)

It might be more appropriate to show a range of dates for board membership instead of a single beginning(?) date.
