A three generational tech gap isn't big at all, 10 years of concentrated tech development and adding 150 years to our own technological pace, compared to ourselves now is realistic, and in no way "overzealous fanfiction" or "bullshit". Remember that one of those generations involved the Historians ...

Um, you're missing my point. One is a prospective projection of what I think will happen with humanity in the next 200 years. Of course we wouldn't meet the Orgus and we probably won't have FTL, but assuming some story-related elements are true, then the humanity of the future could develop advanced...

I think you'll agree with me that you're somewhat contradicting yourself. If indeed our IRL projected development would would go so far as you say it will, which I agree, and then say my similar projections as to smack of "overzealous fanfiction", or not "serious space opera", it's not fair to say ...

But in 150 years, "modern development cycles" will be different. Absolutely. But this comic doesn't strike me as the hyper-technological type; more like standard soft sci-fi. If you chart modern development through another 150 years it's highly likely that we would have reached a technological sing...

I figure, unassisted, were only 1-2 decades off from catching up to the point where the workings of the current tech can then be taken further ahead of anyone else, save perhaps the historians. That's a rather ambitious statement. It sounds like bullshit if you consider modern development cycles (H...

Based on the concept art I'd have said its a TT Superheavy, whilst the silhouettes are only representative they are also the ones Arioch has produced and thus quite likely to be the ones that get used in the comic. You're right. The Insider says the Superheavy has: 04 MR Heavy Plasma Focus 12 SR He...

Looks more like a command cruiser, though the silhouette is still off.

Whatever Humanity does to alter the balance in this war, it will be through what they are, and what the other races perceive them to be, not through force of arms. Pff, you forgot that humanity has bald spess muhreens! Those sonsabitches can win any war! They'll daringly raid the Umiak homeworld in...

Being more adaptable with technogly would also suggest at any given tech level humans will come up with ways to do things that the Loroi and other races havnt even thought of. That may be possible, since lots of sci-fi takes that route, but I'm just saying that they don't have anything better at th...

If we consider the Loroi universe and its races, its highly likely humans will have technogly that is in part superior to the Loroi and Umiak. I'm having a hard time thinking of any real advantage earth tech could possibly have over a species that has been space faring for hundreds of years and is ...

I like the image as a concept, but I do feel it lacks contrast and detail. If it was re-rendered in the style of the Tempest mural outside the bridge it would look much better.

No worries then, the Little Doctor will sort them out.

Context? That special satisfaction of a job well done.









I'm sorry.

This has to be exploitable somehow, but so far what's running in my head is fuzzy at best at how to go about it. I'm still thinking this can allow for someone to seige a star system from VERY far away, but only accurate enough to hit planets. Maybe even orbiting stations. Also seems unlikely to me ...

I'm reminded of the first chapter of Starship Troopers, where the troopers dropping onto a planet from orbit shed huge amounts of chaff into the atmosphere to give ballistic computers a breakdown. A barrage of ball-bearing sizes chaff with a high radar signature would probably be quite useful at clo...

Hello

Been reading Outsider since around page 50 and always wanted to take part in nerdy space-battle discussions. Now I can.

Go look up REAL world railguns before you argue when you dont know anything about them. One of the primary advantages of railguns is the round suffers NO FRICTION except agasint air in atmosphere. They have other problems but friction isnt it..at least when they work properly. True and false. The r...
