Now I feel people are just playing games with semantics... that is why I stopped studying philosophy (it's all been downhill since Plato ).

Miniscale got me playing with my Legos again, though I will I had the time to actually organize the parts and the money for new ones.

Shrakner, do you perhaps read the MicroBricks blog? http://microbricks.blogspot.com/

Sometimes high craftsmanship won't save you when it significantly impacts how much one can produce, but examining how both ships are engineered is a fruitful comparison. If you compare specifications and performance of vessels, then compare within class but if you want to look at manufacturing techn...

Off topic question, Do Loroi have muscles that allow them to move their ears or are they fixed like most humans ears (though some people can wiggle theirs)? I've just have been wondering this since I first read this comic about a year ago... silly yes. Also, how sensitive is Loroi hearing? I would e...

A scientific control; a species that remains unmodified and left to its own devices (or humanity is the harbinger of destruction and the Historians know it...).

Struck me as a wall someone threw up to keep someone/something else out/contained. Might fail soon (THE DRAMA). It's a plot wall which has limited the expansion options for the combatants in this story. If there were plenty of room for both Umiak and Loroi to expand then there would be little reaso...

For boarding to be successful there boarding party needs to have some electronic warfare capabilities and be able to lock out the crew from their computer systems, which might not be too difficult given the enemies physical contact with the ships systems.

Though the Loroi have dedicated security units (Teidar and specialized Soroin), every member of the crew is expected to be able to be armed and fight in a boarding action. And yes, this means Beryl too (as we will soon see). ah AH! the cat out of the bag, after saying for a long time that boarding ...

Probably power armor with synthetic muscle/strength enhancements (there are material like this currently in development).

Just a note, looking at p79 http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/outsider079.html and p7 and p12 http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/outsider012.html

The beams do appear to have the same color, but I might need someone with a better sense of color to judge.

Question, would a Loroi be able to mentally attack a human effectively while in hand to hand combat?

hi hi Even if you are looking at it from a narrative viewpoint, saying that the Umiak found the tanker ship would really cut Alex off entirely. However, since I'm trying not to look at this from a narrative point of view, and it seems likely to me that they are calling on the telephone because they...

I thought it was a web domain....

I always have to keep in mind that something out there Historians just doesn't want humanity poking its nose into the conflict. I'm guessing they're going to say that they have seen similar wrecks that the Loroi have in their possession. Voitan, what your the basis for this conspiracy plot because ...

We have a message for humaniti, "All your Base are Belong to Us." They said you would know what it means.

Also is that a bar code on the Umiak's head?

(I should be studying real analysis right now but naaaa.)

Not when even an Umiak battle group can camp out at a hundred thousand kilometers away from you, kill all your ships, take a four hour nap and still have over half an hour to evade your incoming rail gun salvo. Umm (digression)? I thought Umiak went weeks without sleeping, would they even be capabl...

Perhaps neither the Loroi or the Umiak are very imaginative as cultures.... but standard Loroi battle protocol is to hit and run like those dang Mangudai from AOEII. We are currently watching the Loroi do something which is against standard battle procedure. If the Loroi did run and gun like you sug...

I was just thinking about the superheavy. Since the Umiak who engineer and construct their ships are often assigned to them for life, maybe some Umiak design ships that are prohibitively costly to operate on the front consistently in order to extend their own lifespans. More time to write poetry and...

Dfacto, furthermore humanity might ally itself with the Umiak and gain actual technology from them. This war could have been started by the Loroi and Umiak are fighting a "war of survival" like the Russians did against the Germans. The Loroi have a history of being brutal conquerors and even though ...
