Re: Insider page: Barsam

It may have a stationary component, containing the endpoints of the elevators and solar collection arrays, and a mobile part, that spins at above orbital velocity inside the structure itself. Seems like a pretty standard orbital ring. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMbI6sk-62E&t=16s Always upvote ...

Re: Insider page: Barsam

...but the scale should be that the tube is around 50-100 km in diameter, and the radius of the ring is probably about 20,000 km (Armis being less massive than Earth and rotating more rapidly). Impressive. I was mentally scaling the ring to about 100m dia, but that's probably because I'm thinking a...

Re: Crypto

I have nfi about the blockchain, but if you're looking at crypto as a store of value, don't bother; it's a fiat currency with no backing, as opposed to government-issued fiat currencies backed by a government promise to 'make good'. Functionally there may be little difference but at least you can ho...

Re: Page 137: Adieu SG-51

In fact, it makes the scenario even more WW1-like; forces on the fronts of the Great War were also greatly hampered by the primitive communications infrastructure, which showed especially during major offensives. Albeit, it mosty favoured the defender, whereas here it actually helps the attacker. I...

Re: Page 136: When the douchebags crash the party

Don't know about that production capacity, Krulle. The TCA/Scout corps alone had roughly 200 ships constructed for them in roughly half a century, and that number doesn't include civilian/private ships necessary for interstellar trade -and transportation needs. ...leads me to think that there are l...

Re: Page 136: When the douchebags crash the party

I think that you meant insignificant industrial capacity, the difference in size and tech level between Humanity and the Umiak/Loroi is like comparing a small WW1 era nation to modern China and the USA. I meant industrial capacity by volume of production, not tech level. As in Humanity produces Y b...

Re: Page 136: When the douchebags crash the party

Didn't I read somewhere here on the forums or in the Insider pages that Humanities industrial capacity was a significant proportion of the Loroi's? Yes, most of it is involved in producing trinkety fluff but Humans have shown a great aptitude for shifting production capacity from civilian to militar...

Re: Page 136: When the douchebags crash the party

New user here. The bugs are attacking the Leido Crossroads. They are also attacking Sala 128 and Sala 101. If the bugs are intending to break through to Enedd and the interior, the Leido and Sala 128 forces will be able to meet up at Enedd as it is the next jump from both systems. Sala 128 may also ...
