Re: In Loroitown
Generally speaking, the only raw food that we can eat are fruit, certain vegetables (tomatoes) and red meat. The two greatest staples of human diet, grain and rice, need to be cooked first before they can be eaten (grain can be boiled in order to be consumed as food). Various kinds of seafood is ea...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
And standing at around 3,700 words this is the end of chapter 2.
The third part was kinds short, around 600 words but I hope that I will finish the first part of chapter 3 soon.

Re: [Fan Fiction] Looking forward to the Mirror
Chapter 2, part 3 The sudden jolt of the jump came and went the exact moment it was planned for. It knew that it would be alone for a little while so it spread its sensors to cover the entire ship. The input it got was as it had expected, the entirety of the organic crew suffering from jump sicknes...

Re: In Loroitown
If Alex' reaction to their food is any indication, they will have very intricate knowledge of how a toilet works in short order. :mrgreen: I have a feeling that Alex either didn't get properly prepared/cooked Loroi food (because Stillstorm and co were still bitchy) or that the food he was served wa...

Re: What are the terran military really useful for?
If a battlecruiser needs a new exhaust control vane, then some machines that were creating replacement TV screens could be directed to start working on parts for the exhaust vane instead. That particular example may not work in real life, but it should get my point across. A fleet auxiliary repair ...

Re: What are the terran military really useful for?
The problem then lies with the jumpdrive tech of the outsider universe and energy consuming it is. Would a ship that would easily be twice the size of an Ultraheavy be able to jump even with the Loroi energy technology? At least one of the precursor empires (the Soia if I'm not mistaken) jumped wit...

Re: What are the terran military really useful for?
The auxiliary ships would be large, but they could also have multipurpose assembly/manufacturing lines(and being of several layers/levels). The use of lasers, advanced milling machines and such could likely condense the space a fully automated factory needs by quite a bit. One of the biggest proble...

Re: What are the terran military really useful for?
Exactly why do you think construction auxiliaries would need to be huge? Aircraft factories are so massive because they need to produce thousands of the same part continuously. A 500 metre long auxiliary with a battery of laser sintering 3D printers could conceivably produce a wide array of parts, ...

Re: What is better not offer to Loroi
hi hi The Loroi have spent a very long time trying to better harness telepathic powers, and there does not seem to be a way to systematically control it. The Umiak certainly have done extensive experiments on Loroi captured from planets early in the war, and done behavior modifications, but telepat...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Minor questions:
Would a mutilated Loroi, someone missing both arms for example, have difficulty in the Telepathic field? Would they have the same telepathic stability?
Do the Loroi have regenerative medical technology? As in, can they regrow limbs?

Re: What is better not offer to Loroi
Simple biochemistry? The Loroi have probably been studying themselves or thousands of years, with their most advanced instruments. And the results speak for themselves...they have no idea what powers their abilities, how they work, what particles carry their PK signals or even if such signals exist...

Re: Speculation: What can Humaniti offer the Loroi?
2)The Byzantine Emperors used the varangian guards because they were trustworthy (and the Loroi DO NOT TRUST anything they can't mind-probe), and because they were better fighters than court guards. Human soldiers are in no way, shape, or form superior to the Unsheathed. 3)Trust again. The Loroi ha...

Re: What is better not offer to Loroi
I get the impression that Loroi telepaths are trained by other Loroi telepaths, using experience and techniques accumulated over thousands of years. That experience is lacking with the Umiak. Though they would probably eventually find a way around it (maniacal workers as they are), I'm not sure 25 ...

Re: What are the terran military really useful for?
Which is kind of weird. I'm surprised there are no auxiliaries at all, which is why I suggested that (with antimatter engines) the TCA could build those. Fleets in Outsider are dependent on supply lines because their fuel can only be manufactured in places that have a very high output power network...

You can't uproot an interstellar civilization like you could a medieval one. Starships need fuel (gathering stations, refining stations, etc), weapons (factories), food and much, much more. Very little chance to gather such a fleet unless the species would know it was going to be attacked long befo...

Re: Is Outsider still an active project, or is it over?
Those sound awesome, especially the animated idea. I believe that it has been mentioned already but I believe that Arioch's RL schedule makes an unhindered continuation of the comic problematic. The best course of action that I see is the serialization of the comic in a light novel format. 25 to 30 ...
