A precise enough TK should be able to just generate sound waves directly, no need for a theremin or other instruments. Maybe just a simple membrane that they can vibrate, just like how we do it except with a loroi's mind instead of an electromagnet. Precise control would allow to play music. Power w...

Yeah, I'd love it if I could just somehow plug in SIS' tactical battle system in CTS, it'd make the game a lot more fun to play.

I meant the game which was released in 2003. Playing it was as exciting as watching paint dry. The only amusing thing was the occasional, most likely unintentional humor. I mean, an opress'o'meter slider setting? Really? :lol: Then, there was a newer version, named Master of Orion: Conquer the Star...

The most recent title has eschewed numbers and goes by MOO CTS instead.

American bread contains azodicarbonamide and potassium bromate.

American cereals contain butylated hydroxyanisole and butylated hydroxytoluene.

All these substances are known carcinogens that are banned in basically the rest of the developed world. Bon appétit !

Everybody wants to live forever. w44Hvb6dLbw Everyone wants to live forever No one ever gets it together Everyone wants to live forever Oo whoa whoa Oo whoa whoa Oo whoa whoa Oooooo But few will want to live for more than 500 years when "eternal life" becomes available. In fact, most won't live lon...

IMHO Asian artists tend to be less black & white than Western ones. Disney, StarWars, Marvel, Harry Potter, even Tolkien. They all reduce the good versus evil dichotomy to a level of infantility that would embarrass a five year old. At least Tolkien had a valid reason to do so. You shouldn't restri...

Nobody's thought of the Meklar for the Historians? In original MoO/MoO2 as well as in CTS, they're cyborgs, but in Mo03 they're fully artificial beings who have basically overthrown their cybernetic creators (who themselves had presumably replaced their fully-biological ancestors). I kind of get tha...

I think that even between similar humanoid species, the physical differences would just be too great to allow for fair competitive sports. Depends on the sport. Things like golf or skeet shooting could be opened to interspecies competitions without too much unfair advantages. I think it refers to t...

I still suspect that she could have surrendered, and then been rescued before the Umiak could remove her from the ship... assuming the current operation goes successfully. Cloud's literal suicide mission was a deception operation. The aim was to hide the presence of the rest of the crew by letting ...

1. Then why aren't all children of PK talents able to use such powers as well? 2. Additionally, some mothers don't carry their children to term, and instead, use an incubator for the remaining time. I said "a factor", not "a guaranteed 100% surefire foolproof certainty". But I'm going to say that #...

PK occurrence rates differ in different populations; though no one has identified sequences of genes tied to PK, the offspring of a PK is more likely to exhibit PK than the offspring of a Loroi who didn't have PK. Among the Sister Worlds, Deinar has the highest occurrence rate, and Taben the lowest...

The solution, therefore, is two-fold: You need to get your carriers (who can provide some measure of protection) as close to the target as possible Doing that, it is the carriers that you risk losing, along with everyone and everything on board all at once. So what you need to do is a thorough camp...

They use dropships that are essentially shuttles. Individual armored fighting vehicles might have their own reentry systems, but it doesn't seem cost-effective to me to have individual reentry craft for each soldier, and I don't really see the combat value to it. Individual pods would make it harde...

I am aware that Loroi noses and ears grow longer with old age, so assuming their life continued on past it's natural expiration date then hopefully the nose and ears would not keep growing longer... since that would require periodical surgery to keep the Loroi living a normal life. BTW that's somet...

Just after I said the WIP thread was abandoned, Arioch makes of me a liar.

Looks like our heroes will get out of the shuttle. The ceiling in the Umiak ship's hangar looks kind of like a warehouse, lots of metal trusses, industrial lights, and what appears to be a gantry.

There used to be a WIP thread, but it's been replaced by Patreon, which makes sense. Though obviously now, you don't see activity when checking the forum, you need to check Patreon instead.

A civilian is someone who failed or quit the warrior diral, so there's no such thing as a "civilian diral."

Has there ever been instances of raising the metaphorical bar because there just weren't enough civilians to support the warriors, so trials were made harder to fail more people?

That brings to mind the question of how the loroi themselves would tackle the problem: Narrator voice (or subtitles) summarizing sanzai exchanges? Actors speak for the record (literally) so sanzai is replaced by spoken dialogue? "Visions" are inserted to represent sanzai communications? Some mad sci...

Yes, timon is the term used when relating to air pressure. I'm guessing that at the tech level of most Loroi devices, outside of HVAC systems, pneumatic systems don't play much of a role. Psychokinetics can compress and project air missiles in what is essentially an air bullet or "pneumo" (called s...
