Re: Miscellaneous Umiak/misc. races question-and-answer thread
However, I don't recall if Niven ever addressed how you get in and out of the thing. It's got to have a door, and even if the door is made of the same material, the interface is going to be vulnerable. Not only does it need an airlock hatch and hangar doors, but also openings were cables can run th...

Re: The Human Aliens as the Good Guys
There hasn't been 'Word of God' of how Yinghuo's foreign policies developed after the formation of the TCA fleet, but chances are that groups like the Tharsis Independents still keep a wary eye on them.

Re: The Human Aliens as the Good Guys
Well, Humanity already isn't "the good guys" in this setting. Only take a look at how the Yinghuo nation on Mars operates.

Re: Loroi Trade translation request general
Famous story 1. Two Dutch CEOs were once reprimanded by a stewardess on an American flight after an American passenger had complained about their conversation. The passenger kept hearing "cool f*ck" and "freeze f*ck", which had greatly disturbed him. The two Dutch gentlemen however, had merely been...

Re: Page 216: Time to move!
How could external clocks measure the duration of a jump, especially when the transit is faster than light and over interstellar distances? In Loroi case their farseers can detect ship, when it arrives at distant star. Or just simply jump there and back and compare onboard clock time with observer'...

Re: Page 215: About to Jump? Take drugs!
I can imagine Alex will charge in a let's say "wobbly" way with the Loroi. Due to jump sickness.

A couple rockets a year doesn't begin to equal the port capacity needed to ship for a whole country!

Not to mention the French territory bordering Brazil you implied doesn't have sufficient port facilities.

Re: Page 215: About to Jump? Take drugs!
On the matter of the mentioned vibrations during jump. Is this something that happens despite your tech level or equipment within the Outsider setting? I can imagine that human jump technology might be cruder then what the Loroi and Umiak use, so the latter might be able to have easier transitions t...
