The only things valuable for the loroi are our resources

Our biological data and our cultural history will be relevant to their interests, and if there are any Soia interactions in our species history.

I'm sure their curiosity is just as strong as ours.

This is assuming it wasn't the Buggers* that smoked poor old Bell in the first place. Oh I'm most sure it wasn't them, as well. As Jardin said, his people will keep on coming and coming, until they're [the baddies] HISTORY . See what Arioch did there? :mrgreen: It's a good thing a certain emissary ...

This sounds like a crazy ass doomsday weapon or an interesting power source for a ship.

Any way to then carry the destructive potential using Outsider's FTL abilities?

I wonder what interesting tricks or inventions can spring from this, especially as better methods of manufacturing envisioned in the future becomes available.

Relevant to my interests, because I play Eclipse Phase.

They don't necessarily need AI's, it could simply be remotely piloted.

But the Loroi being distasteful of robots and AI is news to me.

Ohhh... that has some uncomfortable implications for Jardin's crewmembers, but Loroi could use robots to search for survivors if their psychic thrashing is a concern.

I think without a clear view of the remains, it's not easy to entirely rule out the possibility of survivors. What if in the ensuing blast, a section of the ship separated before all energy transferred into it? A lot of things are unlikely, but within the realm of possibility, as was Jardin's surviv...

I wouldn't necessarily write off the whole crew as lost. There is possibly some survivors, and of those, most likely the furthest from the starboard reactor.

Also seems unlikely to me considering the information i the Insider. The jump distance is only really safe up to 10 light years. Safety isn't an issue if you ask me if you're delivering death from the adjacent star system. As a matter of fact, it may take a dangerous mindset to weaponize the FTL in...

If it gets up to its ultimate goal, of generating a megawatt’s worth o...

There are no "gates", just a point or vector you want to be on toward the next star, so that the destination star's gravity well will suck you back out of hyperspace. This has to be exploitable somehow, but so far what's running in my head is fuzzy at best at how to go about it. I'm still thinking ...

how so? your not really precise as were you "jump" it not like you could jump next to a ship and even less ON a ship. Hitting very mobile ships would be tricky, but not impossible. But consider this. You can bombard planets, and defense stations without giving them any time to defend themselves. Th...

I'm guessing Battle Globes aren't being considered because a ball just doesn't look as interesting.

Why fight fair in real time, when your FTL tech can be turned into weaponry?
