Re: Page 85
yet without fail now that it has been worked out, with in a year or 2 other companies will be releasing there own versions..that work.. and are sufficently diffrent enough that they dont violate patant law. Not the best Idea to use The Technogly Industry as a example when it has shown consistantly o...

Re: Page 85
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 ...

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. So it makes sense the Loroi dont want to let the Umiak get it. A real world example is Graphic cards, developed for the entertainment industry they are now b...

Re: Concept Fanart of Future Terran Ship Designs
Fair enough I knew a guy called trashcan who modeled ships very much like your designs, so was wondering if by chance you were him. As for a perfect warship... Battleglobe.. and its got fangs... Did I mention its the size of the sun? and its got mustache. IT represents 30 seconds of modeling I shall...

Re: Speculative Science Fiction on the Web
Freespace2 Beam weapon mechanics was genius.
It over came the problems beam weapons had of being overpowered due to instant hit and accurate.. or so weak or inaccurate they felt worse then projectile weapons, yet it never caught on.

Re: Concept Fanart of Future Terran Ship Designs
Well the thread kinda switched to terran/Loroi hybrids before I and others knocked it off course, I assumed it was still part of the continued theme.
My mistake.

Re: Concept Fanart of Future Terran Ship Designs
Tamren, you maybe should have worked out the math on that one before you stated it as possible.

Nice designs but I dont really see the Loroi connection in them.

Re: Concept Fanart of Future Terran Ship Designs
osmium. Engines can be efficent.. VERY efficent.. and the missiles can be small. I figured I would go ahead and provide a REAL world based propulsion system that humans in the Outsider universe are capable of using. That out performs other Outsider race missiles by a very very large factor(and even ...

Re: Concept Fanart of Future Terran Ship Designs
Heat is not friction. We have both electrical and thermal superconductors that exist today We also have frictionless materials today We also have damn near 100% efficent thermoelectric converters. Lets assume in 200 years they have gone from short lifespans in the lab into mainstream production. bal...

Re: Concept Fanart of Future Terran Ship Designs
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. Incidently some plans ...

Re: Concept Fanart of Future Terran Ship Designs
You know 400 years ago if you had asked a musketman if he thought it was possible to make a gun that could fire millions of rounds a second he would have called you crazy. and if the internet had existed back then he would log on, goto a forum and then make snide remarks under the name of IceKatze. ...

Re: Concept Fanart of Future Terran Ship Designs
I dont surpose pointing out that the blasters in Outsiders are actually railguns? and that they shoot particles with mass, not almost massless photons. They need to not only accelerate it but to contain it.. which also causes problems the faster they accelerate it. Which assuming 100% efficently mea...

Re: Concept Fanart of Future Terran Ship Designs
Actually in the real world... The problem behind projectile weapons is mass/size of propellant. A ship capable of accurately fireing 2 billion rounds a second of projectiles at 10% light speed of a energy equal to say 1kg of TNT per round could take on and take out a Loroi vessal from 4 light second...

Re: Concept Fanart of Future Terran Ship Designs
To work out what a loroi/human hybrid ship would look like we have to take modern military ships. First humans would get the plan for a Loroi spaceship. Then they would upsize it 20% just because its gotta be bigger then anyone elses. Then they would realise its far easier and cheaper to make straig...

Re: Imagining realistic energy weapons
Weapons grade lasers for soft targets(living) blow them apart, they dont burn neat little holes into anything, they cause massive raggid holes that dont penetrate very deeply either. Infact a new version of non lethal weapons uses such a laser to vaporise 1/100th mm of your skin to create a concussi...
