Re: Skyrim

not really, no, but then my problem with the elder scrolls series is more a matter of core game mechanics than eye candy. You may want to reconsider. I never tried Morrowind or any of the previous 'Scrolls games. Oblivion's reputation alone scared me off, the level scaling in particular. But Skyrim...

Re: Loroi Ship Design

If humans had equivalent ship tech, what do you think their doctrine and hence, ship design would be?

Looking back, we've done a little of everything. Thought mobility is certainly a favourite.

Re: Loroi Ship Design

I've never been a fan of ships with exposed "superstructure" with so many random doodads hanging my a thread that they look fuzzy.

Re: Page 92

Ah I see now. So say two ships jump closer to friendly lines and then fly in separate directions to a predetermined distance. This could clearly be used to communicate something or other. There are all sorts of variations you could plan off of manoeuvres like this. Complex orders would still need a ...

Re: Page 92

Assuming the Farseer can sense minds all the way down to one person alone on a single ship. How accurate would they be with detecting position?

If they had enough fine control I suppose you could use fighter craft to spell out a sort of braille. Certainly something more efficient than 1 per hour.

Re: Page 92

What farseers can sense (without detrimental effects) is the spatial location of minds. While this can be used to transmit information by giving specific formations of ships specific meanings. The speed at which random concepts could be transmitted would be very slow and incredibly inconvenient. Tr...

Re: Chapter 2 cover

There is another picture from that thread I forgot to save. I think it was a coloured concept of what Outsider would look like back in 1998, or something like that. It had Tempo, Beryl and Fireblade posing as a group. But given the current uniforms, they looked like they were cosplaying as Elerians ...

Re: Warhammer 40,000

Something to keep in mind about 40k is that the golden age of technology already happened. They may have hit the Singularity, but then someone dun goofed. Its a lot different from something like Star Wars which is locked in "star-medieval stasis". Or a setting that is pre/post Singularity with the e...

hehehe, back in the old forum we had a little story about the Loroi discovering Alex along with a Pet cat. Just by watching their behaviour together they came to believe that Alex was the subordinate.

I had no idea half of those lego bricks even existed... I used to play with lego a lot, then I transitioned to K'nex and kind of grew out of it. Now I make stuff out of chainmail so I guess my habit of making stuff out of lots of little things is still strong. Be careful about getting into DF or Min...
