It would still have the spinal mount problem and the relative low mobility of Earth engine and acceleration dampening field issues inherent in Earth ship design at the moment. Also how can one be sure the beam would defuse over the distances to be less useful than expected? At 650,000 km (over two l...

The Outsider's Terran's heavy lasers have a range of 50,000 km and do relatively pathetic damage much past 20,000 km. These are main battery weapons. However, aside from the armor piercing qualities, the heavy laser is still more effective than the Mjolnir Cannon starting at 30,000 km. And while the...

~We shall have the male groom, than have our way with him.~

SO, who's most likly to steal all the blankets I'd figure Talon or Spiral as being bold enough to try, but only Fireblade or Tempo having what it takes to cause others not to fight the theft. My guess would be someone offers to share theirs with Alex, only for Beryl or Tempo transform the offer int...

Both faction are using some kind of Antimatter substitute, or something that is antimatter, but not (I'm not sure why it is not just antimatter...maybe its more stable and doesn't need the extensive magnetic containment setups of Star Trek like starships.)

hi hi Considering the environment Perrein, I would think they'd need to be able to deal with all kinds of parasites, probably much more insidious than lice. Space Crabs. She's likely being considerate, either for her own culture, or how she's perceiving Human culture with limited knowledge and only...

So would this war be more the French-German front lines, or the German-Russian front lines in World War One? I can imagine the World War II German-Soviet lines being more back and forth along large regions of territory had the Germans not had....other problems (fronts) to deal with. There was a lot ...

I would assume each Loroi's figure is hand drawn and quite nice.

I am under the impression the Wave Loom has somewhat of a Area of Effect in where its fired. Such a thing would be useful in taking out formations of gunboats. Especially if the newer model in the Emperor's flagship has dealt with at least some of the major drawbacks of the Wave Looms of the Vortex ...

One thing we aren't sure of yet is what the two side have built up since the last major offensive. The War Cruiser seems to be one of the Loroi's newest cruiser types, and its seems to be half the firepower of the battlecruisers and more than the heavy cruisers. Their Wave Loom forces seem to have h...

If I've read the maps and campaigns correctly, the Loroi haven't yet made an offensive into pre-war Umiak territory. They haven't even quite made it back to their old colony systems nor the starting system of the war (Ukko). They have gotten as far as Nelain which is one jump from Morat space, and t...

The Fortress of Inevitable Snuggling.

That could turn into a lot of Babylon 5 style Psi Corps nonsense really quickly. "The Corps is Mother, the Corps is Father."

Bonus points if the Historians play the Vorlon roll in the equation.

That only means the Loroi won't be able to detect TCA movements in nearby star systems via Farseer. The TCA will still be in the dark unless they can use the Loroi's telepathic blindness to Humans as a tactical advantage in setting up well hidden observation posts along the systems leading to TCA sp...

Monty Python's humor has become global enough that you can find references to it in many places. Recent Japanese anime for instance, which surprised me. That and they had enough variety that there is bound to be a referential joke that can be made in most instances. Some are more obscure than others...

Be brave and face the peril. They only want to probe the mind...maybe other places. It is the duty of the Scout Corps to encounter the perils.

This is pretty bad (on my part). My brain immediately when to the Castle Anthrax scene.

What would you call that? It shouldn't be Terran fiction, but give then a few decades, and you could be Terboos.

Are they prepared for Fireblade's mental snoring/PTSD nightmares?

While not quite that high, if there is a small piece of Masters of Orion in this setting, that is a Human trait that can at least get you some good trade deals and if nothing else get non-aggression pact with the weirdest races...aside from the erratic ones that shift moods on you....or are influenc...
