Re: Farsense and Sensibility.
I think that some what answerss a question I was about to ask, but I was wondering. If an Loroi telesends an account of an event say a battle will it be as she experienced it or will there be a tinge of bias and her interpritation of the battle. would it be accurate to say that the Loroi don't lie ...

Re: Fanart: Lego Loroi Cruiser [in-progress]
It is truly remarkable what one can achieve through the power of imagination and a little perseverance. Kudos to all for the awesome links to browse through. Don't forget the massive amount of engineering LEGO put into designing all those pieces. None of what LEGO fans have created would be possibl...

Re: Page 88
My guess is that the umiak have is a Soia relic, as opposed to a device that was produced from the Umiak's developing a better understanding of what the farseers is actually doing. As such I would expect the availability of such a device would be severely limited due to duplication issues.

Page 88 won't be up until later today, Squeeeeee :) but the updates to the FTL page are up now.

Re: Hyperspace
Since all the nearby mass is in realspace, and apparently none of it (except the crazy people in their starships) in hyperspace, there is always going to be net gravitational pull in the direction of -hyperspace toward realspace. So what if you're in -hyperspace does gravity pull you back to realsp...

Re: Hyperspace
Repost from the previous forums. Here is my best guess at specifics of how hyperspace works with pictures. As far as I know it is still constant with all information provided by Arioch. On massive wall of text coming up. If you map our 3+1 dimensional (3 space and 1 time dimension) universe into a 2...

Re: Hyperspace
However, if say you continued to aim yourself to the next grav well (if at all possible while still within hyperspace) and not exit hyperspace, can you "curve" yourself back to a home system to restart the process all over again? See No. You're essentially ballistic in hyperspace. There's no way to...

Re: Physiological/psychological effects on Ship Design.
At one time I did a lot of research into capital ship design. My conclusion from my research is that the only reliable way to tell if one design was better then another is to have 10 or so on engagements where one ship sinks the other. The ship that is the most successful is the better design. Anyth...

Re: Page 85
It wouldn't matter anyway if the Loroi gave humanity access to all their military technology, we only have six colonies, nowhere near enough industrial capacity to build a war machine of any consequence. If anything resources, industrial capability and logistics are the biggest concern for the Loro...

What the Outsider humans strength is I cant quite peg yet as all we have to guess at for the whole is one recently field promoted human. He seems rather more level headed and planning than would be expected of you average crewmember in the situation though. Perhaps your average outsider human ends ...

I don't think that that question has ever been scientifically investigated. (Mainly do the serve shortage of anti-iron atoms) I have no idea what the theory says should happen.icekatze wrote:hi hi

Re: Concept Fanart of Future Terran Ship Designs
After they allied with the Loroi; they only offered a primitive version of their plasma array when the Loroi empire was on the verge of total defeat. The Historians prefer to be information black holes. Information goes in, Nothing comes out. they didn't offer primitive version of the plasma becaus...

Re: Concept Fanart of Future Terran Ship Designs
With the understanding that the Loroi are rather unwilling to share high-level technology, perhaps the humans could get some gear from the Historians or Barsam, since both seemed very interested in Alexander Jardin. The Historians are a extremely tight fisted with their tech and information in gene...

Well, Stillstorm did say to "reserve nothing," so if she held onto them, she'd be disobeying orders I guess.
I though that Stillstorm was referring to point defense in that line.
