I suppose that tiamat fuel are military fuel for the loroi. I also suppose that this fuel are expensive. As such I suppose there are plenty of vessels among the loroi and their allies that essentially use the same fusion fuel that humanity use. As such refuling loroi freighters should be possible. T...

I recently saw an old disaster/thriller movie where an airliner ended up in trouble due to a madman of a prisoner took a high powered revolver from his guard when keeled over due to an heart attack. Two wounded people and a shot up hydraulics system later and they where in trouble. Defending against...

Absolutely. I restrict the fireing arcs thou to prevent them from hitting the stored munitions.

Ricochet/bouncers?

I doubt that Alex's borrowed blaster pistol shots can bounce.

That brings up an important point - why is Beryl so sure the area is clear just because she can't sense minds, might there not be automated or robotic defences without minds? Would you put automated weaponry... in the place where you store your torpedoes? Absolutely. I restrict the fireing arcs tho...

That has certain interesting military implications, vis a vis the value of reconnaissance, and the relative advantage of offense and defense. The Loroi farseers may not be as much of a game changer as I thought they were. In outsiderverse everyone sees everyone in the same star system. As there is ...

The Orgus were vague about Loroi telepathic abilities, since they didn't have firsthand knowledge, so I don't think it's fair to say that humanity knew for sure about the Loroi Farsensing Device. Looking at Star Trek telepathy ranges from rhe extreme over lightyears apart down to Vulcans that requi...

Interstellar travelling ships, FTL or not really should be huge I think unless it is a probe. And in any case interstellar or interplanetary, the one thing that protect against cosmic radiation are mass. A small ship with a thin hull isn't that but if your ship is a mile long, boxy thing, chances ar...

Good but I just noticed that Alex doesn't have a backpack. Since this Umiak ship has been depressurized he wouldn't have more breathable air then what is in his helmet.

I like the new backgrounds. The characters feel a more natural part of the world now. Is it an effect or did you draw the backgrounds by hand? They're a combination of 3D elements and hand-painting. Did violent decompression kill those two umaki? If so is their exoskeleton that durable? Violent dec...

On the other hand a loroi musican could just to have the music in her head and then send that experience using her sanzai.

An average person already lives long enough to learn several languages, play a musical instrument and a trade, see the world, raise their children, teach that next generation everything they know (including how to be better people) and be a grandparent. If said average person was luck to born in a ...

Not sure if you meant the battles in "Outsider" specifically, or space battles in general. Epic space battles seem to have gone out of style. The reason, I heard somewhere, is that they all look alike--it's apparently hard to make any one epic space battle appear unique. You don't shoot at where th...

The Umiak have so little respect for their own lives and individuality that perhaps they by a few adjustments can convert themselves into living automatons to achive the mental individuality of a computer. The end result of considering yourself as a "thing" rather then a person.

Humans who repeatedly experience the death of close comrades suffer from certain well known emotional issues. The cast so far (Fireblade excepted) doesn't seem repressed enough for this, although it's hard to assess an alien psychology. But if this speculation is true, then Cloud's suicide should a...

A Swede asks a Gallen, "Why is your caste crazy?" The confused Gallen answers back, "We are not crazy." The Swede insists, "Yes, you are. Everyone calls you that." "But our caste is called Gallen." "Exactly!" As a swede I did understand that. Gallen sounds like "galen" meaning crazy in Swedish.

The game Frontier, the sequel to Elite have a similar jump drive system. You can visit the Centauri system but, well the coloni orbit Proxima Centauri and jumping into the system arrival are at a "jumpzone" relative to the two central stars. There are no "micro jump" to reach Proxima so it is a VERY...

I see, they had have some function or it would be a bad design. Having said that what where George Lucas thinking when he gave imperial scout troopers helmets that totally blocks out their peripheral vision? The rule of cool fail to meet reason...

Those uncoloured closeup pictures of Talon show something I had not noticed before. What Ibelived to just be part of a pilot version of her black jumpsuit undergarments are actually some kind of ports. Cybernetic acces ports for breathing liquids? Which ports do you mean? The pictures above, the la...

Hardly. I as a Patreon supporter have seen several uncompleted pages that are in the works. I suspect that the holdup are 3D sculpting of the enviroment again.
