Although, reading it, this did pop into my brain. -- Fleetwide Bulletin System Under no circumstances are you to come into contact with a Terran aquatic creature called a dolphin without express command level approval. Only Parat Tempo is sufficiently trained to deal with their lies . In future joi...

It's amazing what you've done with a great humorous prompt fic, taking it in directions beyond mere crack and having an honest examination of the events. By all means, keep it up! :lol: Although, reading it, this did pop into my brain. -- Fleetwide Bulletin System Under no circumstances are you to c...

My explanations suck. You've been on +250 for a number of expansions, this turn you hit the threshold for +500 per expansion. And I did tell you, after all: [X] Mining Operations Expansion: Expand your existing mine on Niflheim for more glorious ore. Due to the depth of your current mine, further ex...

+250 per expansion. Originally it was free. Then it got +250, so: Expansion N = 0, where N is the arbitrary threshold for expansions costing rather than being free, N+1 = 250, N+2 = 500, N+3 = 750, N+4 = 1000, etc. After a certain point the rate will double to +500 per expansion, then +1000 per expa...

@Razor: Shouldn't the mining income be -50% because the ordnance plant was finished in turn 10. Also one of the two of us must have messed up their food counting. EDIT: Turn 10 mining expansion should cost 1250RUs The mining income for Turn 9 was halved due to the fallout shelter. Since the moon cr...

Nay, my mental notes have disappeared :( This puts us on completely even ground. :P I'm updating the prior posts with a new feature for ease of navigation. You can see it if you check back on the opening pages at the bottom of each relevant quest post. I'm hoping to make it a standard feature to ma...

I'm not dead. I apologise for the frequent hiatuses. I finally got done moving house and will try to keep the quest updated once a week. It turns out that I forgot a few of the plotlines as well. I should be able to recover them once I get my notes fully in order. Update was a bit hectic because of ...

Even then you're still dealing with energy storage after a fashion, just that the energy is locked up in matter and released via fusion, or locked up in a black hole and released via hawking radiation. The "ideal" forms of energy are either vacuum energy, or by convincing matter that the strong nucl...

Just like there was no Star Control 3.

An episode or two of Extra History doesn't really count as studying the history, but it's useful to get the broad strokes, and the situational factors, if not the causes, were a close match. Postwar, lots of warriors with only one purpose, little to do. Considering the alternative was to descend int...

Looking over the epilogue, it seems that the Loroi experienced a similar problem that Japan did at the end of the Sengoku Jidai; they had a bunch of warriors that knew only war. Japan 'resolved' the problem by banning their peasantry from having weapons and wasting lives in Korea. The Loroi solution...

As it says in the forum description: Outsider Discussion Discussion regarding the Outsider webcomic, science, technology and science fiction. The forum is broad enough in scope and small enough in traffic to not really warrant dedicated subforums. Even an off topic forum, we're just too small. Maybe...

Voting is now closed. Here's what won: [X] Frontier Party [X] Ordnance Plant [X] Improving Relations [X] Mining Operations Expansion [X] Industrial Autoplant [X] Teaching Trade You rolled a 7 on Asteroid Day, meaning Fenrir broke apart early on in February. I've already done the math for the ensuing...

Survey is up, please vote here.

First off, I'd like to apologise for the long hiatus. The holidays certainly played a part in delaying things, however there were other factors, including helping a dear friend deal with some rather nasty drug withdrawal, that added to things. Throw in that my brother had complications due to surger...

Where is a permanent black marker when you really need one? Five minutes in paint. :P http://i.imgur.com/npnndKN.jpg I know the scene is mean to be cute, but Beryl allowing herself to fall asleep in front of her superior and her charge/ambassador?! That´s Star Trek level of incompetence, not to men...

I laughed out loud, I really did.

Made my night. And the last few hours of the year.

Alright, since nothing needs to change... Turn 9 Results Military: [X] Colonial Point Defense Mounting: Break the spare parts for the L'Amour's point defense laser and assemble a PDL array in the colony itself. We'll need to divert power from the light ore refinery to properly power it up, and resta...

No, the languages are too different. More likely the overflow will translate to the follow on research, from Izumi learning Trade to her teaching it to everyone. Thus far Izumi's been the person who's been doing a lot of the interpreting, though Spear's high English score means she can talk to you o...

Okay, voting is closed. Here's what won with their attendant rolls: [X] Colonial Point Defense Mounting (No roll for this) [X] The Final Debate (Rolled 74 + 16 = 90) [X] Shearing Down (Rolled 90 + 10 (dragoon bonus) = 100) [X] Machine Shop (Rolled 2 + 14 = 16) [X] Every Step You Take (Rolled 86) [X]...
