That scene was also a sad moment for me, the crew thinks they are safe as the EDF ship approaches and then they are just snuffed out of existance without so much as a care by the ILR.

Tragic.

lesson learn from this

if you survived and enemy leaves your ship.check for bombs you chowderheads.

And civilian minor dependents know this how? And even if they did, how long would it take to sweep a habitat of several hundred and a refining and light manufacturing facility? Finally, this is an entirely unprecedented act, against a civilian operation, so not likely to have a SOP worked up. That being said, the EDF, by contrast, have whole legions of paranoids working up scenarios and action plans.

you are correct on that sir.

they got blown up???!!!!

Ah, this must be your first time watching this. Okay, no spoilers.

Yup. When you get speciest militants running things, anyone who isn't part of the ubermensch are just expendable cattle.

Well it was over fast atleast unlike a bullet wound..

pretty much how it looked.

Except with a lot more mass to create a bugger plasma/debris field.

Death Star go boom.

expect without the BS shock ring

Big Budget Blockbuster filmmaking rule:

If the bad guys set off a megaton explosion, it comes out realistic, terrifying, and unglamorously lethal.

If the good guys set off the boom, the special effects people will spare no expense in making the explosion pretty, colorful, and light show worthy.

I am very afraid this is correct, along with bad guys (except for Johnny Cash) wearing Black hats and the good guys wearing white hats.

No dramatic teleportation in the last second. It's not television.

Space Rabbits are dicks. :(

Bad day.

This was the "$#!% just got real!" chapter of Albedo. There's more shocks to come, but I won't say anything specific to avoid spoilers.

Also, I love how the ship-tech looks from the last few pages. Very functional / utilitarian. And it has held up well over the decades. Anyone who's watched STTOS or Space 1999 has to giggle at least a little at all the old analog tech (tapes, old-fashioned buttons, switches, capacitors, diodes, etc.) But Albedo seems to sidestep all that quite nicely. When I looked at this scene decades ago from my comic, I thought "Dang, those are huge-ass CRTs". Now I can easily think of them as solid-state flat-screens. Twenty five years from now I'll probably be thinking of them as holo-screens.

Thanks again for sharing with us Steve.

The control panels are largely programmable graphic array touch surfaces. You can customize the panel to your task or preferences, or pull up another's work station. There are abbreviated switch and button flip over panels for special occasions.

I may have been thinking of flat panel LED (or equivilent) arrays at the time.

No survivors to tell the tale. All atomized.
