Having examples to follow certainly speeds up advancement; I don't recall saying otherwise. Some technology springs up to fulfill a need, but other technology springs up on its own and creates a "need" that no one knew they had. Take the development of the Internet as a key example. In 1985, there ...

IF the opponent ever finds out where your supply bases are.... You can also just drop the supplies on camouflaged stores in the outer rim of more-or-less safe systems (undisputed, but not free from occasional attacks). Your people know, if needed they come and pick up the drifting stuff, and get bac...

But it may well be that holographic projectors are limited in mixing the colours. We don't know how fine their resolution is, which is what allows mixing of colours.

Chapter 13, part 3 [...] It was a foolproof tactic against most aliens, including the Shells, unless the target ship was too big and they had to board it in order to sense everyone aboard. Even then the complexity of the task was due to the numbers involved than any other factor. Razormist liked to...

To q2: cooldown. The energy supply of reactors is continuous, but strong lasers cannot fire continuously, due to heat buildup between the mirrors. So, the energy of teh reactor is channelled through a second laser system while the first cools down. This way the reactor output is better used than jus...

Dang, I'm checking your site far too often, I am very curious to see how this story develops. But I've done t...

Chapter 13, part 2 [...] Hiding did protect the army from being destroyed from within but it wasn’t enough to full the other warriors. Even if they couldn’t directly sense them, the commander’s confidants would realize that she is hiding something just from the smallest signs of nervousness and ten...

Fireblade lost her home and everyone she knew when Seren was occupied (and later purged) by the Umiak, and has survived two lost ships (a distinction not appreciated by her fellows). There's more in the first forum compilation . Just search for "Fireblade" when you scroll through them. There's no s...

I don't know enough Anime to even understand much of the stories you're talking about here, but the railroad going through a portal/gate/wormhole reminds me of the Night's Dawn trilogy by Peter F. Hamilton. There, all of Humanity and their colonies are connected by wormholes, and travel is effected ...

Even at our tech level it would be possible to take a nucleus from a male, and put it in an egg cell (preferably Loroi or a closely related animal, but iSCNT is a thing too) and you'd get a clone. To avoid age problems, you'd use a young male. Of course, SCNT is very resource and time intensive, an...

I would link to it if I could but I have no idea how to link to a specific post in a thread so here is a link to the tread itself. http://www.well-of-souls.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1041 Next to the post title is a small circle with a triangle in it (pointing to the right, right of the poster'...

There is some ambiguity about hard-shell team sizes, see spoiler.... Chapter 13, part 1 [...] “I believe that Mizol Torimor Shadowcloud explained our telepathy and telekinesis.
