Re: STEALTH!!!...IN SPACE!!!
mjolnir: which is one of many reasons to the 'there is no stealth in space' attitude, even with thermal dynamics defying magical technology, it is still damn near pointless.

Re: STEALTH!!!...IN SPACE!!!
Actually guys, I think your math is off, you do not really need to cool down the entire ship, you only need to cool down the outermost layer and enough cooling power to negate low power emissions from the working ship(so as to remove transference of heat from the inner life supported hull to the out...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
stealth does not work in space, nor does it meaningfully work for surface ships, nor aircraft, although the speed involved with aircraft means a slightly shorter distance you are detected at can actually be useful, for ground troops it CAN work though, enough clutter to hide around in. and as mentio...

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
I am unsure how to feel about being used by Arioch in such ways....
slightly more seriously, some fire and blunting by time it would be rather safe to carry a 'knife' in such a way during normal tasks, at this time trying to use it as a knife would be a non-trivial restoration project.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
absalom: pipeline the cooling water for the nuke plant from the sea should work just as well(or if salt is such a issue, just reuse the river water?), gets the water to the arid area, still uses a nuke plant, and you get to keep the power generated instead of using it all.... well, i suppose you cou...

the answer is probably, counter intuitively enough this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Explosively_pumped_flux_compression_generator but a decent sized such in a magazine to charge the capacitor in the rifle, and you are golden.... gives new meaning to the old 'charging handle' which of course leads ...

Re: Fan Theories on How the Umiak can hide from the farseers
well, the astro people get a hell of a lot better imagery through math magic and using timelapse to get more data to correlate from. since adding time into the equation you can extrapolate more data and get 'half pixel' data due to angles changing and movement, not really very functional for geostat...

EMC: given that the characters are modeled with GURPS it would be THREE dice not two.
Arioch: yes it would be interesting to see first contact between the loroi and their new overlords(cats).
