Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Some Umiak vessels don't have this capability, because some Umiak engineer was min-maxing his design to get that obsessive-compulsive endorphine high. ... my playthroughs of MoO2 , GalCiv , screw it, every 4X game ever feel specifically called out by this remark. :lol: Never give me the option to d...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Random question... could the engineered misesa outcompete Earth flora on our own soil? For example, if you planted a patch of it inside a wheat field in Kansas, would it eventually take over the wheat?

Did not expect Beryl to have a weapon trained on him.
There's a thought... do Loroi las pistols make sound when fired?

We may not have heard from her yet, but until proven otherwise, I am calling her Commander Zero Chill. That is one intense stare.

I'd laugh if the Soia picked up something ridiculous like the platypus to copy.

Re: Page 207: Tempo showing off
Even then, if the countermeasures are easy to implement, like going in pairs or/and have non-biological or remote backups double-check everything, there's no reason not to use them every single time. The counter measures seem very difficult to implement. What good is a sensor that detects Loroi if ...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Grif would just get kicked in the nuts more often than he already does.
Golf would be interesting among Mizol and Teidar. The latter could drive across courses and the former would never miss a putt.

Shots fired
One huge plot hole from Star Trek is why the Federation didn't utilize Betazoids (full ones, anyway) in every way they possibly could. Forget Lwaxana, EVERY Federation ambassador should have been a Betazoid.

Re: Page 207: Tempo showing off
Not shown: the oil check Beryl is giving Alex in panel 3.
Seriously though, great work. Wonder if Tempo is going to have this trooper shoot up his pals or just make sure he leaves peacefully? How will she keep the other Umiak from seeing her?

Re: Page 206: Just needs an expert's touch
I think that's a reasonable assumption. At most you'd probably have a sense of "life here," and that's it. Easy to detect fleets in dead star systems, harder when there are millions of aliens on a colony world masking the signature of the fleet.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
It depends on where the enemy forces are in the system, which unfortunately you can't know beforehand. If they're guarding the arrival zone in force, then it's not "impossible" but unlikely that a lone ship could evade them. Got it. Would a more reasonable strategy be for a lone ship to hang back d...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Hey Arioch, I was wondering, is 'blockade running' a possibility given how Outsider ships detect, move in-system, and jump between systems? Using the map from 121, let's say you needed to get a message from Azimol to a safe system beyond Rallis, leaving you two contested systems in-between. Could a ...

Re: Page 198: Beated!
Good point. So humans in general are immune. That's not one of their MoO traits. To be fair, this isn't a one-for-one by a long shot (even though Beryl, Tempo, and Fireblade are nearly identical to the Elerian Scientist, Spy, and Soldier respectively). The heavy implication is that humans are the t...

Chess. I kinda wanna make a physical Crossfire set now. Just gotta find some Heroscape terrain and a 3D printer… :mrgreen: I bought a bunch of cheap chess pieces, and I'm going to print out a board and do some playtesting with family members. Later in the story, there is a Crossfire match using a f...

Re: Beards?
In modern day, beards are prohibited when you need to readily seal facemasks such as oxygen masks. It makes sense for a crew like that of the Bellarmine to undergo such a treatment while underway.

Re: How to Make Mecha Work in a realish setting
I decided to do a integrity check at the start after responding to the original attack about 5 ton mech ;) You know the Mech weight I gave and armour of 20mm? It was a lie, totally made up to be far heavier. I wanted to see if. https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/063/491/my_trap_card.j...
