Re: Page 214: Ready for boarding action!
Yeah, but was that even real ? :shock: Psionic propaganda is a truly frightening concept... He can be still in his prison cell, drooling on a floor, while Tempo simulates combat situation just to see how he would act. With Loroi being psionic he cant be 100% sure that anything around him is real. T...

Re: Page 214: Ready for boarding action!
If he tries to actively assist i wonder if this is a good idea.
I am not sure how to aim this thing, i dont see any holo or iron sights on it.
I guess thing below the barrel looks like laser?

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
The drawback of a kinetic payload is that the missile has to actually collide with the target, whereas a detonation (either omnidirectional or directed like a shaped-charge warhead) allows a larger envelope of damage. One way to get the best of both worlds is to have kinetic kill missiles as submun...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
A decoy torpedo wouldn't be any less expensive than a normal torpedo. It would need the same reactor, engine, fuel and guidance systems, which is where all the cost is. The limiting factor on armor isn't cost, it's weight. Oh no. The idea that torpedo can resist being hit by AA changes everything. ...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
And if the Loroi had unlimited ammo on their vessels they likely also could and would have won by now. Umiak should have won already if anything. They field orders of magnitude more resources, they just dont want to use them properly for some reason, which is strange with how supposedly effective a...

It is obvious that she is ded, but Alex probably didnt realised it yet.
He will probably see her body on the way out.

Re: A question of ruthlessness... spoiler...ish?
So was the Loroi administration like this toward Commander Genocide? In Public: "That was an act of utter barbarity!" In Private: "Well done! Of course your acting out of the bounds of law requires we discipline you in some way. We cannot set a precedent for our commanders doing whatever they want....

Re: A question of ruthlessness... spoiler...ish?

Some officers were killing civilians for fun in some countries that they invaded, even after it was made public nothing happened to them or their career. Thats if we talk about so called "first w...

There's no ejection port; the ammunition is caseless. The selector and safety is at the thumb. CASELESS?! With all it's inherent drawbacks? TCA science must have made some dramatic advances since the current day. But I suppose if I can accept faster-than-light transportation, telepathic space-elves...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
The thing is, if we assume that half of loroi population or less is civilians, then that means that each time one country takes over the other population is essentialy halved or worse. It dosent matter if they will see your actions as a warcrime if you are gona die regardless if you lose, so you wi...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
By "honorable" I meant the unspoken agreement not to involve civilians and the very important matter of not harming males. After all, bombs tend to maim and kill indiscriminately. I have to agree that most other "cowardly" or "dishonorable", yet targeted acts like assassination, kidnapping and blac...

Re: Page 211: Grand Theft Umiak Cruiser
They can just follow orders, until they no longer need to, like when umiak attack loroi lines, they can just change course and wait, umiak wont have spare guns to destroy them and loroi wont be able to do that either. The problem can appear, when there will be resupply order for torpedoes that they ...

Re: Page 211: Grand Theft Umiak Cruiser
Well, linear infantry had smoothbore guns and accuracy was "i fart in your general direction" kind of thing, thats why it was linear infantry- number of shots meant more fore accuracy then shooter skill. They did not fight well against rifled barrels with sights in the Crimean war 1853. I dont say t...

Re: Page 211: Grand Theft Umiak Cruiser
We know that canonically Umiak are very uncomfortable and clumsy under 1 full g. Still Alex shouldnt be able to hand to hand combat it even if we get Mars case, exoskeleton should prevent any damage. There's no such thing as "modern submachineguns for indoor fighting". Most modern firearms are prod...

Re: Page 211: Grand Theft Umiak Cruiser
In any case - Umiak are big and heavy since they normaly live under weak gravity. So humans and Loroi have a John Carter of Mars situation in relation to them. It shouldnt be to that point and can even be not the case. Humans could have lighter build compared to umiak etc. I dont think that organis...

Re: Page 211: Grand Theft Umiak Cruiser
Though part of me is thinking we get some long, drawn-out scene of Alex fighting a barely-enhanced umiak (both without guns). He eventually gets the upper hand, celebrates for a second, then staggers out to see the truly massive amount of umiak the others have killed in the meantime. 99% sure this ...
