Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Holy shit. The closest equivalent is Adolf Hitler! That's a scary thought. Scary thought, indeed. It was infact the second thing that came to my mind and is a closer fit. Lets hope the Loroi emperor is not a megalomanic, drug addicted, evil person. But that would be an interesting plot twist, don't...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
The closest real-world equivalent I can think of off the top of my head would be Napoleon Bonaparte. What comes to my mind would be the third Oberste Heeresleitung (OHL) under Hindenburg and Ludendorff, from late 1916 onwards. Yes, there was still an Emperor (the Kaiser), but he had no real power a...

Re: Miscellaneous Umiak/misc. races question-and-answer thre
Okay, back to our "Gedankenspiel" (seriously, I could not find a fitting translation for that one, mind game, maybe?): A single-shot capacitor is not going to remotely be as cheap as one shot's worth of propellant. Thats true. However, a magazine with a build in "super-accumulator battery" wouldn't ...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
How many of those 40 worlds have a population that is exceeding 1 billion?The Union contains roughly 150 inhabited worlds, of which about 40 have populations of more than 100 million. This includes both Loroi and alien populations.
Is it unusual that worlds are as densly populated as earth?

Re: Miscellaneous Umiak/misc. races question-and-answer thre
I think you mean "lose"? Yes, stupid typo. Sorry! :oops: If your magazine gets damaged, you duck behind cover/concealment, toss your mag and load a new one. Each mag's battery would probably be capable of fully accelerating something like 25-50% more ammo than it can physically hold, just to ensure...

Re: Miscellaneous Umiak/misc. races question-and-answer thre
I'd more expect that it would be part of the magazine. Using a capacitor as "brass" requires separate power for the brass extraction, it also means more moving parts and more things to go wrong. Thats a possibility, yes. However, if the magazine gets damaged, you would use a lot of shots. Using cap...

Re: Miscellaneous Umiak/misc. races question-and-answer thre
I feel safe in saying that by the 2160s, even humanity almost certainly have effective accumulators which can suffice as small arms railgun power supplies. Remember, they have accumulators that can store enough juice for a hyperspace jump, after all. I could imagine that they use ammunition made of...

Hmmmm... this is odd? Thank you for the spread sheet but for some reason it will only open in protected mode and will not allow me to save the modified sheets? Which is weird cause I have many prexisiting Excel sheet files that open and save perfectly fine. Any advice? In my Office 2013 it showed m...

Re: [Fan Fiction]Calm Seas
Sorry guys, but I have to announce that the next part might take a while thanks to some unforeseen events.
Thats especially annoying because next chapter its going to get interessting. Try to keep this break as short as possible.

Re: [Fan Fiction]Calm Seas
Thanks!
I added a few lines here and there. Also added your idea.
Should be a better read now.

Re: [Fan Fiction]Calm Seas
Sweforce, I like your idea and have to admit that I hand't thought about that possibility.
It would also fit rather well in the story, so I might change a few things or add that to the next (Loroi) chapter. I hope you won't mind.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Hm... The next questions might sound a bit stupid, sorry in advance. Do Loroi collect historical items that are not of Soia origin, especially of their own? Or are those things considered disposable? Do they show such items in museums or public spaces for everyone to see, or are they keept in some L...
