Re: Terran Ship Classes

Assuming the Umiak offensive fails (as so many others have) than an expedition out to Earth space to set up logistics for another front in the next decade or two makes long term sense. The war has already been going on for decades, it might remain going on for decades until a new element gets introd...

Re: Terran Ship Classes

While I don't know the Orgus tech, I can image they might be able to pull more Gs of acceleration than a current Terran model warship. It might not be anywhere close to modern interstellar warships, but even 10G or 12G acceleration is better than what Earth can manage in the present. They might at l...

Re: Terran Ship Classes

The Japanese seem to be planning on building a pair of 20,000 ton anti-ballistic missile defense ship in the next few years. While they might list is as a destroyer, a lot of people are considering them cruisers. Though they might get a specific purpose designation rather than an older naval classif...

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path

Retooling would take time, but that could be a good backup plan if the flanking offensive don't end the war.

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path

Probably a little less time since the Loroi ships are capable of far greater acceleration than Earth ships are capable of at this point in time. A Loroi fleet could transverse a system faster than an Earth any Earth ships currently in service. Even their slower offensive ships can make at least 24 G...

Re: Space Battleship Yamato 2202: Soldiers of Love

I look forward to what they might come up with since there is a bunch of plot points that just can't work anymore due to how things have happened between Earth and Gamilas.

Re: Space Battleship Yamato 2202: Soldiers of Love

Lambda is an alternate universe that seems like a mix of Yamato with Neon Genesis Evangelion. Rebel 3199 takes place (or at least will start) in the year 2207. So, Earth will have at least a year or two to prepare. What will they be able to do with 26 episodes to retell the story of a 148 minute lon...

Re: Off-Topic: Gaming

I remember that the first MMO I played was Earth & Beyond, followed by Guild Wars. I remember that I didn't care about the music in Guild Wars all that much and had a CD playing tracks from Revenge of the Sith going while I played. Later a friend got me into World of Warcraft (and am still there fro...

Re: MoO II races and their parallels in Outsider

I tried to play MoO3. Really tried. Just couldn't quite figure it out. I did manage to lose by the Galactic Council voting some race into power over the "New Orions" but I was outside the core worlds and thus not part of the council to start with. I also somehow remember that the "pirates" news had ...

It's time for some plundering, looting, and good old fashion privateering. Got a ship to steal.
