Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)

Alex was hardly "in the mood" to give up information to Fireblade and her aides. Maybe there is a way to bring down the human lotai. Exactly. Just having a "defense" against the Loroi wouldn't really help in the war. So I suspect there is something more. If that way is well, I doubt that, since tha...

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)

http://www.well-of-souls.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=30129#p30129 It's been a while since a girl looked at me like that. I wonder if Alex' heart is melting too... I also wonder what's going through her thoughts. And am looking forward to next Monday. I still wonder a bit about the special "mind shie...

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)

hi hi Back on page 53 , there's some of the early base station concept art. It looks like the Tizaba Depot is a tier or two above the Gora Relay, but also maybe a tier above the most basic station design. According to Beryl, the jump point to Rallis leads to nowhere. According to the picture it's a...

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)

http://well-of-souls.com/temp/132_1.jpg Looks like a minor station, probably a basic surveillance and communications post. Taken in context it looks like it will soon be part of the RIP list. Looks like a master of orion starbase or battlestation. If the small lights are windows, it is pretty big.

Re: Page 131: The one in which we learn how Loroi swear

I predict in next pages Tempo will enter the cabin (maybe even drag Alex to camera) and... "persuaded" Clearbrook. "Follow your goddamn orders. This is your final warning." "Oh sh- okey, my bad." I suspect they will either end up on the white haired girl's cruiser or there are some other factions l...

Re: When did you join the forums /start reading Outsider?

I don't even know how I found outsider ;)

I's a question I ask myself: How to advertise stuff, maybe using AdWords or Facebook. But since outsider right now updates irregulary, it wouldn't really make sense to advertise it.

Re: Page 130: Gotta Go Fast

Something just hit me from Alex's thought bubble about Hyperspace Jumps. 'Inherent unknowability of Hyperspace topography'. What if someone who knew the local Hyperspace topography did that jump? Wouldn't that mean that the jump would be far less risky? And we do know about someone who has the tech...

Re: 130: deep jumps vs. white dwarves

Objects with low mass = weak gravity = shallow gravity wells (red/brown dwarfs, white dwarfs, gas giants) are difficult to jump to - the optimal jump arrival areas will be comparatively small and close to the object with very little margin for error In essence, once you get far enough away to reaso...

Re: Page 129: ¨Deep Jump

Sounds as if the Umiak have gained access to some kind of long range jump system. Maybe they have only been granted a limited amount (Historians?) or it's too dangerous to use it. Maybe they sacrificed half their fleet using it.

Re: New Page 128

To be honest after re-reading the page i find that i liked the old dialouge better. The new one feels clunky and non-immersive. I don't understand why the wager has to be explained in the comic since it doesn't seem to have any real storytelling purpose. I never had any problem following the dialou...

hi hi The more I think about it, the less confident I am about Loroi relationships. I mean, it is totally normal where I'm from for friends to give each other a hard time, but not really being serious as a trust thing. But Beryl doesn't even seem to notice Alex's expression when he said it's "Wonde...

Re: New Page 128

She is saying "do not spend yourself too cheaply", which I understand as "do not throw your life away" or at least as "make them pay before you go down". Correct. I was referring to "Luck is [indeed] with you - wager won, and suddenly you lead a fleet while we refuel [...] You will need it where yo...

Moonglow or whatever her name is sure has an interesting attitude about black razor, guess that's some of that Loroi jadedness ? Yeah, looks like she doesn't like Ashrain much and it goes deeper than winning a wager, seeing how smug she looks saying pretty much "you had it coming, I'll be sure to l...

Well given Beryl's xenophilia wouldn't be safe to assume her romantic interests could be based on something different? Is that the first time Beryl and Alex are touching? Last time Alex shook hands with Talon she seemed quite taken aback. Also, Alex seems not to receive a "tingling" sensation from ...

Re: Character Discussion - Talon and Spiral

As much as I love the female cast, I would like to see a Loroi male for a change.

Btw. does anyone here know "the virility factor" (German: Die geschützen Männer)? The situation among the Loroi reminds me a little of that book.

Memory and intelligence aren't really the same thing. Memory is what you can remember, whereas intelligence is how well you can use what you remember. Relevant to each other, but not the same thing. Err, I didn't say they were the same thing. I just assumed that Alex was the "common guy" you often ...

Since Beryl is technically 14(?) & Alex is Idontknowhowold, he should probably treat her more like a daughter/child :mrgreen: It's a bit more complicated than that. Loroi do mature much faster, and even IRL it was just about two centuries ago that fourteen was not deemed too young to be married awa...
