no sheldon you are being sheldon.
A nit picking posterior aching whiner who can only critique.
Out of all the problems in the story this is the one you latch onto, because YOU WANT FLYING MOUNTS.
You are a crying baby in need of a bottle. Unfortunately, no mothers milk can give you real world useful logic.
I love how the kid ignores the ELE that did not cause the extinction of the humans, but just so happened to get the rest of the biosphere. Or the way weapons never seem to run out of ammo.
But because he may not get a hovercraft, oh my gosh. Someone must pay for that inconsistency.
Again, i will say. Fair weather friend.
I don't get why people try to bring science into science-fiction, clue is in the genre title...
Although I do admit it does make it more interesting when it is taken into account eg: Mass Effect lore with element zero allowing faster than light-speed travel due to it by creating a field that reduces the mass of objects around it, thus allowing for space travel, instead of just having faster than light travel just cause of space magic
And on the flying mount thing I'm pretty sure it was said by Trion that flying mounts were a no-go

See OP! This is what we in the real world call a REASONABLE OPINION.
As it is not mired in childish ranting based around a missing toy.
And Kiesh i agree with you on all counts. Science fact has its uses in science fiction. Hell science fiction can even inspire and become science fact, but they are still very much mutually exclusive.
You know if you want flying mounts. Star wars the old republic is now free to play, dingbat.
Wow, you're all full of cheer.
If you want to fly, find the right hill and hit boost about 1/2 way up. Works all the time.
Oh and ummm, just because you don't understand someone's faith doesn't mean you should bash it. Makes you look stupid.
