Re: Insider, Updates
I'm told that German is the best language for swearing. I'm sure that earth will still be a very multilingual place in 2160, and each colony will have it's own language preferences. The most commonly used languages outside of Earth will probably be English, Mandarin and Spanish. TCA military organi...

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread
So in other words humanity is inexperienced outgunned and outnumber do we have anything going for us? Do remember that humanity does have at least some experience in more or less constant warfare in some parts of the world up to today. And most likely for a fair bit beyond. I'd not be surprised if ...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Since you mention a very grim division between their warrior and civilian population, can we expect the loroi high command to actually be making plans on avoiding the massive issues which might arise from this in the long run? aka we have a lot of young hotheads who have been fighting for the civili...

Re: Miscellaneous Umiak/misc. races question-and-answer thre
I've been wondering, if there's any specific reason why the Umiak client races seem to all not be Soia-Lindon. If there's some sort of selective destruction of those that are, or if some are, but it just isn't mentioned on the races of the hierarchy page. Compared to the loroi alliance which does se...

Re: [RP]Cydonia Rising (OOC)
It is open for new players, but at the moment there are too many Loroi characters. So please create a Human character. You can send me a PM with your intended background, motto and motivation, if you are still interested and we will work out the rest together. Oh was definitely more interested in a...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
I've been sort of curious - we do know that loroi telepathy has more "bandwith" to convey information. But could such a thing (and perhaps did it?) lead to essentially a degeneration of other information venues. Just consider when we're talking from between each other, there's the vocal information ...

Not sure why you don't just follow suit and use what's found in a lot of handbags. Mace sprays.

Re: sci-fi creative writting tips?
well there won't be any lightsabers but I'm leaning towards soft, I know Crest/Banner of the Stars seemed to make use of these weapons (by the way was I the only one who found the Ahb kind of annoying?) but that was an Anime series so I guess that is a bad example. Keep in mind that meelee itself i...

Re: Hello...
First-person shooters almost universally have weapons with extremely short ranges and poor damage that require multiple hits for a kill. This is a gameplay requirement, and has nothing to do with realism. They also almost universally have medical kits that can bring a soldier back from the edge of ...

Re: WANT!
junk: the trouble with bureaucracy is that it keeps spawning more and more of it, since the answer to any problem is more of itself, and quite often when the need for a certain part of it goes away the institution does not, trying to find new ways to be 'useful' and therefor effectively creates pro...

Re: Loroi abilities, and Loroi Judo
Cats actually aren't that social; the domestic variety are largely solitary when in the wild. Which is very unusual for a domesticated animal. The human-cat relationship is a very strange one. Cats actually do follow a relative pack order as well. They aren't as dependant on closeness as dogs but t...

Re: Hello...
But covenant plasma guns on ships are extremely weak if I remember correctly. Which brings us to ground warfare, where the relatively pathetically weak UNSC (weak compared to today's forces) were able to go toe to toe with the technologically more advanced covenant forces, often even outclassing the...

Re: Hello...
I remember that one cannon fluff bible that was released which put infantry weapons at ranges below guns used in WW1 That part would be accurate. During and after WW2 there was a massive shift away from full-power rifle rounds to intermediate power rifle rounds due to the fact that most militaries ...

Yes, but the UNSC has experience in dealing with moving targets... they tend to use highly specialized AIs to deal with moving targets, and this includes detecting and...

Adult Elephants can be taken from the wild, and African elephants have been used for war (Carthegenians used them alot before Rome wiped them off the face of the Earth). A technique used in Africa was to get a fenced off area where a tame elephant cow would be. A wild male, looking for love, would ...
