Re: How can the Loroi win?
I just rather see the Umiak and Loroi get blown back to the Stone Age.

Re: Page 164: Smells like buttocks!
But, who are the good guys (or gals) and who are the bad guys? I suspect the Umiak are bad guys, but the others? Hmmmmm. If we are just talking about the setting for this comic then both Loroi and Umiak are the bad guys. The Umiak will enslave, a universally bad thing, your entire race and gear it ...

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread
Has Arioch or anyone else mentioned how large/powerful Terran civilian vessels are? If there are any battleship size freighters which can be retrofitted into combat capable vessels, I would think that would help quite a bit. I was just reading about Zheng He's Merchant Fleet http://en.wikipedia.org...

Re: The Loroi are Evil!
Putting the survival of your species over the survival of another species requires no morality adjustment? I disagree. The survival of your own species should take top priority over everything, the only thing that would come close would be the survival of a close ally. Oh, so you find it acceptable...

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread
Nah, the Loroi can do it faster than we can either way. We DO have our area mapped and one of the somewhat valuable things we have is our maps and the Orgus maps. The Loroi can do it faster, yeah... ... but they haven't , despite having a lot longer to do it in. And now they're probably too busy bu...

Re: The Loroi are Evil!
I'm inclined to think that the Loroi are evil as well as the Umiak, but only by their actions. Genocide of a sentient race or those with potential to become sentient is genocide, plain and simple. No morality adjustments are needed. Putting the survival of your species over the survival of another ...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
I have always wondered, though I am not sure if you have place any thought into it, what kind of computers would the Loroi or for that matter anyone would even use? I suppose its a pretty far in-technical lore question to ask, but I am puzzled over it. The amount of calculations needed to do what th...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Wow, that flew over my head there for a minute. Exotic matter, from my understanding, is matter that can exist, but usually doesn't and it tends to have unique properties not normally found in other things. Right. Taimat is an arrangement of matter that is produced artificially, and has unusual pro...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
So we know that Terrans use Fusion power with direct energy harvesting methods. Somehow though the Loroi use anti-matter reactors? I have a hard time believing that they can generate the necessary quantities for a starship. Loroi engines use a matter-annihilation reaction, but they don't use antima...

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread
The Terran's use fusion reactors which require hydrogen or at least some form of hydrogen to function, among other things. Do they keep storage containers as their main source or do they collect their hydrogen from the Universe since it is so abundant?

On a scale of 1 to 10 how utterly terrified are the Big Wigs of Earth Government and the Military of the situation? Well, they don't know what they're up against, or what the international situation is really like, so there are people who will be optimistic and those who will be pessimistic. For al...

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread
Yes, it would be fusion reactor. The reactor(s) are probably tied in some direct way to the drives, so that the reactor plasma is probably part of the drive exhaust, and so a) generating electricity is not the main thing that makes the drive work, and b) since you've got hot plasma being ejected at...

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread
Holy cow! I didn't think we were even researching such a thing. Uh.. yeah that is partially what I am thinking of, but also other methods that would just enhance what we currently we do.
Thanks for the link!

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread
Here's one that came to mind. The Terran ships run on fusion or at least I hope so. Currently almost all power plants rely on the heat generated to make steam that turns a turbine. Do the Terran's still follow the same process or have we discovered a more efficient means of harnessing power?

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread
Is there any particular reason that we haven't developed handheld railguns? My brother seems to be convinced that they would've had that by now before moving onto particle weapons.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Do the Loroi rely so much on their Far-Sensing ability that it has become a crutch for them? If the Umiak have figured out a way to get past it then their defenses are in trouble if not essentially crippled.
Sorry if this was asked before.
