"Ok pinky, out the airlock with ya!"

Didn't expect that, but it fits the bill perfectly. Stupid, but just not stupid enough to avoid real trouble later.

And for his next magic trick, Alex grosses out an entire cafeteria of Loroi with his nasty human face-stuffing.

The search is on!

Know what else is uncanny? Everyone has been ripping off Tolkien for 50 years and getting away with it.

Don't worry about it too much. If there's no direct plagiarism people won't care, or probably even notice.

Fact: bad guys get better ships.

Missed a spot

Also yes, I agree with your analysis. At this case it looks like a choice between crazy nazi space elves and probably crazy communist space roaches. A neutral diplomat's nightmare.

I would hope that a species generations ahead of us in tech would have the necessary AI to crack unknown code.

Then again the Terrans could be using quantum computing by that point which would make it a useless endeavor.

If you want to argue the humans will have carefully deleted anything of interest, fine. If you want to argue it's all password protected, fine, but there's no such thing as a protected system once a hacker has physical access to it. But it's silly to claim they'll have to reverse engineer the techn...

They'd have more touble with that than humans would reverse-engineering a plasma cannon.

Ehem. I refer you to the case of Jeff Goldblum vs Aliens.

I'd like to know how many chapters it's supposed to have in total.

You could animate the battles fairly easily, but nailing the character bits in 3d/2d without a skilled team would be very time consuming. To be honest I think this would work better as live action. Cheesy "we're aliens because our faces are superficially different" costumes have worked for Star Trek...

Yeah, Machiavelli wasn't dastardly style. He was... well I think his portrait says it all. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/e/e2/Portrait_of_Niccol%C3%B2_Machiavelli_by_Santi_di_Tito.jpg/466px-Portrait_of_Niccol%C3%B2_Machiavelli_by_Santi_di_Tito.jpg If he was showing just a tiny ...

I don't think there should be any confusion with the hyperspace-realspace gravity interaction. Once you enter hyperspace all points are accessed instantly (or close enough). The gravity where you start and the gravity along your vector are all as they truly are at that moment, not as you see them th...

Lots of discussion on farsensing so I thought it could use its own thread. Probably again. My take on it: Loroi telepathy is instant, as it says in the Outsider, and so is the Farsensing device. It has to be because 1) It's an extension of the Loroi telepathy 2) If it wasn't it would be useless for ...

Figure out my reference fanboys.

Outlaw Star. Next.

What percentage is "cat" and what percentage is "girl"?

If farsensing is instant, the perhaps it is connected to hyperspace, and the Umiak accidentally discovered how to disrupt it with a new model of jump engine.

I was thinking more along the lines of Stillstorm aggressively initiating combat and sorting through the wrecks. Maybe not very likely, but then again, neither are boarding operations in general. At the very least, she now has the motive, should a chance opportunity present itself. I believe Arioch...

One thing that just crossed my mind: Maybe this "boarding action," that has been implied is going to be the Tempest boarding one of the Umiak ships. I had always kind of assumed that it would be the Umiak boarding the Tempest, but Stillstorm has a distinct cause to try to verify some of those claim...

K then. You send your human sentimental army at me and I'll send my drone fleet. I'll accelerate to 20 g and so will you. Your entire crew compliment will turn to paste. (assuming current physics, not anti-grav generator sci-fi) Have fun losing to machines, next time you'll be using them too. That t...
