Oh, loroi on Perrein could drink it fine, that's the problem, they couldn't tell.

Just like in a joke that "any warmachine is paradropping. But, a some one only once"

Well, this is in case you basically want your child.

It was good. At one time, I thought about how it is possible to implement interspecific crossing while remaining at least formally within the framework of science. In general, as a result, it turned out that "formally" it is possible, although in fact it is not entirely true. It was based on the fac...

First, you should not consider people who lived earlier as idiots, just because they had less fundamental knowledge and historically conditioned experience, but it is worth remembering that military science develops over time. What is absolutely obvious to the most recent civilian now, at that time...

Picture a pinecone. You've got a central stem around which are arrayed bract scales. I figure a star warship would be like this. The central stem carries the warp drive or whatever is needed for FTL travel (assuming it cannot easily be miniaturized) and surplus equipment. The bract scales detach an...

In fact, all these arguments rest on several points. "Mass to thrust ratio" is speculative, there is also such a thing as delta. A ship with a smaller mass spends much less delta on changing course, with equal thrust-to-weight ratio - therefore, smaller ships, other things being equal, have a much ...

20 miles in modern dogfighting is just seeds. Especially for such a fat duck as AC130. It is contraindicated for AWACS aircraft to approach closer than 80 km to the battlefield, because nothing will miss them, neither ground nor airbased air defense. That's why I "lowered" the coordinator to, roughl...

I was trying to model the concept of a viable fighter in space. It turned out something like a decentralized swarm of drones. One flight coordinator with a live person on board (or several, depending on what level your AIs are and how much you are willing to delegate to them) for a dozen or one and ...

Yes, attempts to depict realistic space weapons using the current level of knowledge (incomplete and non-core) are a pain. In my story, I honestly tried, but in the end I refused, having worked at the level of concepts and roughly imagined what technologies are needed to depict what I need and how t...

Yes, familiar problem. I myself, while writing the text, faced with the fact that when your characters speak at least two languages, one of which is incomprehensible to some of the interlocutors, they speak to each other non-verbally, they think and communicate non-speech with a technique that can n...

As to how they found the shuttle, that's elementary. The shuttle was actively maneuvering when the umiaks were already in the system, which meant it was clearly visible on the sensors. Having its trajectory and knowing the speed at the time of its disappearance from the radar, calculating the area w...

In general, I agree, except that it is "simple" to transfer "words" from thought to verbal speech. It is VERY difficult. We don't notice it because, hey, we learn it from birth, by listening to speech and learning it, and then by practicing speaking ourselves. We literally talk all our lives, from t...

On that note, I remember how Jim once said on the discord that most Loroi women wouldn't mind having their vanity flattered in regards to positive comments on their looks. Since eventually Humans and Loroi will engage in more larger scale contact with each other, some will also inevitably work toge...

@Cthulhu , in general, any energy source of a non-chemical nature is explosive (however, chemical, especially highly efficient ones, like coal and oil, are fire hazardous or toxic-radioactive, especially in dispersive form) simply because it contains a huge amount of energy, which, if the storage i...

Loroi close touch to loroi... Mizol touch to Teidar... Tempo "fingering smile" to Fireblade...

It's smell like fight.

If it's magic, yes.

But if it's science, even if it's fantasy pseudoscience, then not necessarily, no. There's those pesky laws of thermodynamics.

Reed this part of Insider first.

Bodybuilders were just an example anyway, and an extreme one, too. Besides, I also asked about the weight of the equipment and weapons, precisely because of this. If the blasters are rather light and do not have much recoil, then they shouldn't lead to a significant muscle buildup. But, it's not pa...

/ People, please, try to hide large quotes under the spoiler or edit them, otherwise, after a couple of cycles of detailed answers, the thread becomes extremely difficult to read. What I meant is that wielding melee weapons would certainly build up muscle mass, much more than carrying a blaster. I'v...

If it's a man, it's strange. About how the people of the 19th century reacted to the Amazon bodybuilder. It seems like, even now, most will find such a spectacle limitedly attractive (although there are those who like it, yes), but then, in an age of active patriarchal sexism ... Hmm. In the case of...

Can a warrior who passed the trials end up as a civilian or only by failing the trials and once you become a warrior you are always one? IIUC, in order to fly out of the military caste into the civil one, and not immediately to the grave or to clean up shit for life, you need to do something comple...
