@Moon Moth: I believe the main theory as to why we went from largely quadruped to bipedal was to get a better look over the tall grasses to look around (kinda like meerkats) and as Darwinian calculus progressed traits that would allow for this to be permanent developed and we would have the bases fo...

Whose to say our posture needs to be the only one that works? A gorilla like stance might be of use (thinking Grunts from Halo when they walk). I agree most reptiles on earth wouldn't fit the bill. There is a reason many haven't changed much if at all since the days of the dinosaurs. Evalution is a ...

Making an none human race is fun to do in fiction, be it reptilian, amphibian, avian, or alien space babes that want to experience this human concept called "love." That said, lets see how we can think how a race can evolve from standard animal to sapient dominant species. In this case, Reptilian. N...

Then maybe the Loroi were giving him bland food on purpose since as an unknown alien they thought to just give him the basics. Still.... you'd think not all of it would be awful unless Stillstorm did it out of spite. The Loroi have no way of knowing what Alex can even digest, much less find tasty. ...

I'm not sure that men attracted to muscular women has anything to do with homosexuality... but my point was that different individuals of the same species can be attracted to different things. There are all kinds of sexual peccadillos which have no specific reproductive logic to them and aren't eas...

We have problems trying to come up with things that come up due to modern technology and lifestyle be it automobiles, fast food, or the internet. Some of these attempts were better than others. I would suspect that there would be similar problems in the far flung future. I would also wonder hit cult...

Anyone else thinking of this Not the 9 o'clock new sketch? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9VgwxKW0J6I That had me laughing. Judge is clueless about modern inventions but knows all about the intricacies of blow up dolls with real hair that look like women. Who in the world is paid to have their hai...

I assume Loroi dont like grenades that much? Loroi like grenades just fine, but I think they have limited use in combat aboard ship. Besides the typical grenades people think of that use meant to kill such as using the shockwave of the explosion or shrapnel, what about other varieties? Flash Grenad...

My two cents, Despite all Loroi have going for them human ladies beat them in one clear respect. They can reproduce a baby, whereas a man cannot ever make a baby with a Loroi woman. Beyond all that and the telepathy aspect, everything else is cultural. All Loroi females unless I am mistaken do what ...

Hardtrooper knitting attachment: standard If every Brittish Tank can have the equipment needed for making tea standard issue in every war since WW1 (yes, I know it was unitentionaly in the first one but thats what inspired it), then the Bugs can have their Knitting kits. Do they produce their own s...

Cone art is art done by soldiers on munitions and vehicles. Good examples are the cartoons characters or pinup girls on bombers in WW2, and the Shark Teeth/Tiger Teath on dog fighters in the same war and sometimes seen on the Wart Hog (the plain that was built around a giant gatling gun for air to g...

It is part of a pair of NHK documentaries that shed a lot of light on the tragedy at Okinawa. They both take a "US indiscriminate attack, the horror!" narration track at times, but its mixed in with the orders from the military to conscript the people, to use children as soldiers, to have everyone ...

That´s sick imo. Live, at least "our" lives should be valued above all else. To me, that would either be the (absolute) last resort, or, a group of, say, terminal ill or so volunteers. This is too shallow a way of thinking. Lets use WW2 as an example, since that discussion has been broached. Attack...

I doubt Ark will answer this one as this might be spoilerific, butttttttttt

Alex, after being mind probed heavily, is seeing memories and having dreams from what I assume is Fireblade's past. Is it possible she is seeing the same from his?

Spoken like a true gentleman. Does that mean you're a proponent of "pistols at dawn"? :o Tradition dictates that the accused choose the challenge. True Fact Abrham Lincoln managed to avoid one by choosing swords, and using his height swung his sword and hit a tree branch to prove a point (his oppon...

How do the Loroi (and by extension) the other races create gravity for their ships?

Actually, its already 66-and-counting years since the first artificial satellite (Sputnik) temporarily achieved orbit. With a first interplanetary (manned) mission nowhere in sight. Moon or planet is no big difference from a technical view - lander is lander, pack some more supplies in a bigger roc...

Idea , but could they have taken advantage of how a Loroi brain interprets information? Illutions such a still picture seemingly moving, or having two different objects appear to be different sizes by having one close and one far away is due to the human brain taking short cuts and filling gaps. Ano...

I would ask WHY? I am sure its possible with enough tech, but a sun exploding (going super nova) would mean a galaxy of resources would go up with it. Its one thing if you sacrifice a city or two (nuking Hiroshima and Nagasaki in WWII to end it faster), bombarding a planet till civilization has been...

From what I understand, The Umiak view everything as a tool: Their ships, their people, and their allies. They want to get the most bang for their buck, and in the cases of tools of destruction that is often quite literally. It would seem most are essentially nails that are one adn done. Kikitik-27 ...
