... if they wanted to create entities that could be better pilots they could have created DRONES LIKE WE DO TODAY IRL. The Loroi should have that ability too, yet they use combat pilots. Possibly due to the telepathy, or possibly cultural issues, or just the genre needing fighter pilots. And that a...

The zerg, tyranids, and so on tend to appear to violate thermodynamics, so the ability of good engineering to produce them reflects on the worldbuilding, not on the capabilities of the creators. But my point was the Loroi appear to have been created to be soldiers in a high tech war, one where thing...

...humans buildup of muscle mass during extended periods of physical labor is heavily dependent on metabolism, low metabolism means lower muscle mass gain, high metabolism means high muscle mass. The Loroi thus... I would be very surprised if two things weren't true. A) Loroi have a more efficient ...

I always figured the eponymous outsider was Alex. Is there another one that Arioch's hinted at somewhere? It is Outsider, not Outsiders...

I may pick up the games, but it'll be campaign only for me.

Depending on mod support, there might be some expansion in multiplayer PVE in it. I've had a lot of fun lately with survival mods in supreme commander for instance.

That's a good point Siber, though I doubt it's an oversight. Logic, and Arioch's previous post... Yup. But I'm just saying that without that insight, or without Tempo there, I wouldn't be forced to assume malice, just a mix of callousness and ineptitude. With Tempo around, it becomes a lot more cer...

nice digiweapon.

That appears to be a 40k thing? Good guess, but no cigar.

I got a pretty nice drawing tablet for christmas and have taken the opportunity to shake some rust off my drawing skills. So here's a Loroi! Image hidden in spoiler! https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/896078/Art/Fanart/2015_01_31_Memaladi.png I have no idea how you draw all those crazy dos they hav...

The fact that they look at each other's faces when conversing suggests to me that they have some ability to read body language, though I'd definitely expect their diplomats and spies to be better at it than your average commando. I also doubt that the mind probe was expected to be lethal, but it see...

Well, personally I hold it in a fairly low regard. Technically and organizationally impressive, but not fun or aesthetically enjoyable for me.

Icekatze, everything I've been hearing about the current reusable rocket attempts these days presents fuel as the smallest part of a launch cost. I did some digging, and the NASA official line is that the average shuttle launch cost $450 million. I haven't been able to find information direct from N...

A bit of frivolity... from what I've read on the matter, pants are guessed to have taken over from skirts due to horseback riding, but they also gained ground in anywhere with harsh conditions. From the Tempest tapestry, it looks like Loroi warriors have favored pants for quite a long time, but does...

I thought you might appreciate that tidbit

In the various gaming site video reports you can see snippets of a common B-roll they were given... which is fairly standard practice. But someone posted the whole 5 min 25 sec B-roll on youtube, which is a pretty good look at things. KpxPtX5MQkI There are some small issues that could be fixed in th...

My money is on humanity offering nothing special to the war effort. Their economy is small and their tech subpar. Nothing special isn't nothing of course, every little bit counts, but getting us up to more than shipping fuel to the front inside the decade might take more investment than the Loroi ca...

Well, Alex does call it a cell, and considering he's been in there at least a week I'd hope he has access to the kind of facilities you might find in a call but are unlikely to find in a random storage compartment.

Something that occurred to me about Alex's imprisonment is that those holding cells are probably intended to only ever house Loroi, and the training and procedures of the guards probably matches. From how sanzai is described to work, a Loroi put in that cell and never visited would be far less isola...

I've been disappointed thus far with Hardware , which is a browser-based Facebook-style "casual" game, so I have mixed feelings about the news. This isn't correct. I got to test some of the early builds, and as far as I can tell there's no expectation of silence on my part, so let me say that at no...

If the Umiak are believed to be created via an artificial process (and, since they're akin to insects, and therefore have a natural exoskeleton) does that mean that the Umiak don't have to wear a space suit, just some kind of breathing apparatus? Just for reference, were it not for "the bends", hum...
