Tamren, Quake me thinks you are missing the point It's not that we can't benefit the Loroi logistically, the point we were trying to make is that that we wouldn't be able to benefit the Loroi in any meaningful time scale before the war ends. At minimum to even establish contact with humanity the lo...

A liberty ship type freighter makes sense for the post war era where humanity will be trading materials and technology with the union. But I don't think we could provide any meaningful logistical support for the war within a useful timeframe. The war would have to calm down sufficiently for the loro...

The only thing we have to offer is local map knowledge, and that of the Orgus. Even that would be very important, scouting jump routes takes a lot of time, at minimum you would have to jump ships through every permutation along the intended route and have those ships report back before you can risk ...

Why wouldn't they be accelerating? The whole point of underway replenishment is to have the capability to resupply your ships without having them come to a stop. In the context of spaceships that means both the supply ship and the warship would be under acceleration with matched course and speed as ...

Well again it's a moot point because they wouldn't be able to take advantage of humanity providing them a flanking route, it seems like the war will be over or decided before the loroi can even attempt to ship a diplomat over to human space. I'm just saying a flanking suicide strike like that would ...

I could not disagree more. The umiak might have industrial might on their side, but they're not magic. The forces on the side of the heirarchy facing the loroi are going to vastly outmatch anything else in their empire. If they were able to make equally sized defensive fleets and point them in every...

They could but it would be very slow because hyperspace exploration is dangerous and the "empty quarter" where humanity lives isn't well surveyed. You can do all of the math beforehand but hyperspace topography is invisible and the only way to check if a potential jump link is viable or not is to se...

I'm not even sure the backdoor route will be militarily significant in the current conflict. If the war was set to last another 25 years then sure, a backdoor attack that stabs the umiak in the kidneys would almost certainly be fatal to their war effort, even if it was a suicide run. But as it stand...

You're welcome. I have a few more ideas in the pipeline but I got sidetracked catching up on the miscellaneous questions thread which is now up to several hundred more pages than it had when I last read it.

The way I imagined it is that there would be different tiers of fuel tanker designed for increasingly risky operations. - At the lowest end you have plain civilian tanker designs, slow and thin skinned. - The next tier up is military fuel tankers, these would be faster and armed/armoured to some deg...

How do Loroi transfer fuel between their starships? If things like gunboat tethers exist could you stretch a hose between two starships or is everything done with containers through the hangar bay like we see with Black Razor in chapter 2?

Couple things I've been wondering about Listels: 1. Do all Listels have perfect memory from birth or is it a combination of genetics and training? 2. Do Listels suffer more than other Loroi from traumatic experiences they can't forget? 3. How many Listels would typically be assigned to a starship of...

It's been a while since the last update and I felt like making something to pass the time. The game is simple, design a ship as if you were using the Master of Orion ship builder with Outsider themed components and post the result using the same template as the insider article. My focus will be on L...

Actually it just happened again when I tried to reload this page. Full message: Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to well-of-souls.com.

When I tried to visit the site just now Firefox came up with a malicious website warning and said that the problem was a "bad cert domain" where the website certificate points to somewhere else. It was some kind of "hosting.com" URL but when I went back to take a picture of it I didn't get the warni...

Did you change the frontpage recently? It looks a bit different, the text on the update list is smaller for instance. I was wondering if you could change the frontpage to make all content centered on the screen. On my screen everything hugs the left side and takes up just over half of the space, whi...
