Arioch, could we please have that last panel posted in Insider at full-resolution? It's a gorgeous scene.

I first saw it on Facebok and it's a shame it has to be scaled down for the actual comic. Great work!

Please rename this thread to "Hot and Steamy".

I'm interested in Tempo's opinion that the Loroi worlds "did not have animals suitable for farming beyond meat and hides". Neither did earth, 5000 years ago. Ever tried to eat a wild banana? They're almost inedible - as are wild apples and root vegetables. I'm sure we might say the same of most chic...

We've touched on urban warfare before, and it's just to niche. At least, the way humanity has experienced it so far. Urban warfare is relatively new in human history: Generally most forces want to keep fighting away from cities; they are the objective rather than the battleground. Even when fighting...

Let's set technology and tank-comparisons aside for a moment. Assume that eventually battery or energy generation technology will develop sufficiently to be able to power almost anything using a cell the size of your hand. Weapons technology will evolve, as will armour plating to match. So far so sc...

What about repairs? How much more difficult would an exoskeleton or larger mecha be compared to a military vehicle a tank or an attack helicopter or even an transport shuttle? An urban mech is only 5million USD a Firefly is about the same or do you mean something else? Please stop using fictional r...

We already do mining and drilling at the bottom of the ocean - By using ships with drilling strings a few km long, going down as deep as is necessary. Back in the late 1970s when offshore drilling was only just developing, it was speculated that in order to drill on the seabed, huge habitats would b...

can Fireblade DO pyrokinesis? Yes. If not explicitly stated anywhere else, it's on the GURPS character sheet for her in the insider. It's also been stated that while Fireblade is a particularly powerful psychic, she isn't particularly well-skilled at subtle manipulation tasks. So she could end up s...

Knowing that Arioch is a Homeworld fan... Homeworld: Cataclysm - Somtaaw "Seeker" Reconnaissance Fighter As a result of the fact that most recon patrols require spending long periods of time in a small cockpit, many Seekers pilots are young, single women of smaller stature. This has led to deep reco...

It's a big mistake to assume that the chinese people and elites are moved by what seem to be mainly liberal bourgeoisie concerns and sensibilities. This. Mistakes and successes are evaluated differently when a civilisation with a different culture is using a totally different value system. No one s...

Worth bearing in mind. Humanity hasn't joined a "side" yet.

So, we have... Tempo, Mizol Parat (O5), Fireblade Teidar Pallan (O4), Beryl, Listel Tozet (O3), Reed, Soroin Pideir (O1), Flint, Soroin Pideir (O1), Cloud, Soroin Paset (OC), Talon, Tenoin Arrir (O2), Spiral, Tenoin Narrat (O1) I presume that the general consensus among the Lori would be that Temp i...

I like this page a lot, for several reasons: - It makes for good story pacing after the intensity of the Umiak invasion force, pursuit of the shuttle and combat encounter earlier. It also gives the characters, all of who are military personnel, a chance to take a breath and relax. - The Loroi warrio...

From the topic Character Discussion - Talon and Spiral Here are some items previously mentioned on the forums: All the members of Talon & Spiral's Taben Tenoin training band got the same tattoo, and most of the members of the original squadron of 20 were drawn from the same band of about 50. Spiral ...

The seii is a ritual totem, that is representative of the fortunes of the diral band (a group of Loroi warrior youths in training). SNIP Upon graduation from the trials, the seii is taken from the leader by an elder and thrown into a bonfire, symbolizing the dissolution of the diral band. By tradit...

If Outsider was a movie, the change in camera angle here to Focus on Beryl and Jardin would have cleverly prevented from us seeing Spiral naked for three seconds.

On the next page she'll be wearing a cocktail dress.

There's something about the unfortunate placement of the cushions that draws my eye every time I see this panel. Somehow at first glance Spiral always looks... More well built... Than normal.
