Re: Page 105 discussion

Laughing at top-ranking officers in a military dictatorship is probably not good for one's career (or health).
No equivalent of the presidential roast then, drat.

Awesome new page!

Anyone have any idea as to why Tempo suddenly decided to tag along? I have a few.

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror

Awesome chapter! I can't wait to see what the Loroi are up to. Sorry about the Facebook incident happens to us all.

Hey Arioch I just had a thought, does jump sickness effect the Historians?

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror

Absalom, with respect I feel like your trolling. At several points you disagree with me seemingly to just to agree with me later on. Or disagree with a theory I presented just to restate that theory in slightly different words a paragraph later. Dragoongfa the great thing about every marine having p...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror

Why I do declare! It's as if you were channeling the spirit of Dan Abbnet himself! Awesome chapter dragoongfa. A tiny bit of constructive criticism, plasma flamers were described in GURPS as being extremely effective in boarding actions for precisely this sort of scenario. A three meter cone of plas...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror

Powered armor makes sense, but a lot of the Tau and Battletech stuff is significantly larger than a human frame: instead of those, robots & small vehicles make more sense for a confined space like the Bennet class. Well yes Absalom a lot of the before mentioned sci fi universe tech is considerably ...

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread

Arioch, is humanity conducting any research into jump sickness in order to find a cure or mitigator for it? Jump sickness seems quite debilitating even at low tech levels when the maximum speed of vessels is only 5-6g's and FTL jumps are spaced farther apart. I can only imagine how much more debilit...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror

Heavier armor, greater firepower, improved mobility, increased battlefield intelligence and awareness in a comparatively small, compact package. Battlesuits give every marine the firepower of an entire squad, a vast advantage in a ship to ship boarding action when the enemy has a finite number of tr...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror

If you define a mech as a legged vehicle instead of a protective article of clothing, then they probably don't have mechs on-ship, due to lack of any point: just use wheels/treads and maneuvering thrusters for anything massive enough to need mechanized transportation. I was thinking Tau Battlesuits...

Re: Miscellaneous Umiak/misc. races question-and-answer thre

There's no evidence at all that the Loroi were involved in a massive scale telepathic manipulation of the Barsam population. & As long as you can acknowledge that you're just making stuff up out of whole cloth, I guess that's cool though. As I just stated, the Loroi treatment of the Golim and their...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror

Krulle my point was to try to get you to acknowledge that this is a military vessel with massive numbers of military grades weapons, in the form of cannons and torpedoes. Not having small arms, battle suits and light mechs (all of which is TL9 tech) is... odd. To me at least. There are a ton of smal...

Re: Miscellaneous Umiak/misc. races question-and-answer thre

Remember that the Barsam 'sacrificed' their independence so they could be a voice of pacifism in the Loroi Union and somehow limit the damage of the hamfisted actions of the Loroi. From my point of view they are a noble society who practice what they preach. And from my point of view the Barsam wer...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror

Then why bring military vessels at all? Wouldn't it be cheaper to re-purpose and refit civilian craft?

Re: Miscellaneous Umiak/misc. races question-and-answer thre

I still think that you are too negative. Dragoongfa the comic tells a story of genocide, the enslavement of species, planetary bombardments, mind rape, casual murder of civilians on a massive scale, and that's just the opening act. It's hard for me to see that in a positive light. It's a GREAT stor...
