The link is right there on the front page, just above the "list of updates"...
Never noticed you can click it.
Interesting scrolling through. Gives precise dates for publication of pages, and some amendment indications.

First update.

Jeebus... I was still in college. What were you all doing?

I couldn't even guess when I joined or how I found Outsider. That was probably over a decade ago at this point.

Junior year in high school.

Started my final thesis in university...

A friend of mine got me into Outsider 6-7 years ago. I can't believe it's been that long as I'm typing this lol.

April 2004 freshman in college

and i discovered Outsider from Arioch well constructed Homeworld shipyards site.

Dunno when exactly I found the comic, but page 57 was the first update I remember. So I found the comic sometime during the end of 2008/ jan 2009, seeing how I also remember getting super hyped about the evangelion crossover after I binged the extra materials.

I have a weak memory of TV Tropes having something to do with it. I may have been looking up the term "space Elves" of some reason.

Oh yeah. *facepalm*

Don't feel bad. I didn't get what he was talking about either.

I think sometime in 2004 when the comic actually went up, though my memory is a little hazy. I do recall seeing the thread on relic news forums and sierra shortly after.

I can't say exactly when, but thanks to that link Krulle posted, I can say sometime in 2003 between pages 10 and 11...

Holy crap, I've been following this for a looooooong time.

I found this webcomic years ago, and was very taken in by the depth to which you’ve researched and built the world these characters live in, Arioch. It has been over a decade since I last checked this site for updates, and I’m happy to see that things are still coming along! I plan to stick around this time, hence my registering on the forums.

Welcome (back), Corpsman.

Your handle sounds familiar. Were your registered at the old forums?

Probably learning a few words, or trying to put everything I could find on the floor in my mouth. You know, your typical toddler stuff.

I can’t recall, but it sounds like I was if you recognize me. I really have enjoyed circling back around to this comic, especially now that I have a work background that allows me to possess a greater appreciation for all of the technical details of your work.

In more detailed context, you may recall that I was one of the early “Q&A” contributors to a podcast that you participated in or were a member of with a few other webcomic writers. I had some basic questions about the physics of projectile weapons or somesuch as they pertained to space combat, if I’m not mistaken. The podcast title escapes me, but somehow asking that question is still firmly rooted in my mind.

Thanks!

I found the comic when I started playing Stars in Shadow back in late 2016. After the disappointment of MoO2016 (and before Stellaris revamped its strategic map system), I was very happy to find it. Still dip into a game now and then, especially on work trips. After all, you can run it on practically anything.

Rediscovered the comic when Arioch started posting more pages last year.
