About recoil - the beam weapon will have it. But weak. Plasma - stronger. But all the same, it is orders of magnitude weaker than that of a kinetics with a comparable shot energy. Because the mass of particles and the degree of physical interaction work with very different quantities than the syste...

Most of the Loroi subcultures didn't believe in an afterlife, so they wouldn't have anything that performed the role transporting souls to Valhalla. Doesn't preservation of psychic signatures in Listel memory play kinda the same role, with "ghosts"/impressions of heroic warriors being passed throug...

What is your evidence that the Loroi require the support of their allies to undertake a military operation on their own, or that disapproval would stop them? I would think rather that a history of exterminating allies who disappoint would tend to keep them well in line... In the very plot we are wi...

Nine of you - Talon. - Spiral. - Tempo. - Fireblade. - Beryl. - Reed. - Cloud. - Flint. That's 8. 9 would be them including Alex. So it should be either "Eight of you" or "Nine of us". Or we intentionally have Alex fucking up his arithmetic. My question - Alex must know that Humanity is practically...

I think it's unrealistic to consider the kind of people who are doctors and the kind of people who are laborers to not be in different classes. There are numerous countries where an average fully-licenced medical practitioner earns less than an average construction worker. Which sorta DOES put them...

I'm not sure whether it's amusing, sad, hopeful or depressing that human beings in 2021 seem to have such hard time imagining how a class system works

All of the above.

As I said, military HUDs aren't a particularly new invention. They are used in fighter jets for quite some time now, but are currently too cumbersome for infantry usage. A TL 11 civilization should be able to put an advanced version of that into a standard helmet. As we can see from the entire shut...

I dont think that organisms that will be born in low gravity should be much weaker, yes you need less strenght to support yourself, but that means also that with same amount of strenght you will run faster and jump higher, which means you are in advantage to hunt prey/escape preadators. We know tha...

Umiak worker 5 times his size and weight with hard shell, he wont be able to do any damage to it, let alone umiak soldier. I really doubt that Alex will have to get his hands dirty, but then again I also doubted that they'll try and board the Krooza. In any case - Umiak are big and heavy since they...

then that species over time might lose the natural ability to reproduce. How though? Dudz r immortal, they don't lose or gain biological qualities - unless it's a form of physiological decoherence happening over time, i.e. ageing. Which would mean that they totally do age, and are not really immort...

How To Prevent WMD: Two ways are kind of obvious.

I always wondered why this problem is very rarely solved by making continuous intense acceleration and interstellar navigation not very accurate.

There are ways around telomere exhaustion or alternatively, lifeforms that don't seem to suffer from it naturally. The question is, why wouldn't the Soia implement any of those? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pando_(tree) Aging is about way more than telomeres, and making something that continuous...

A Blue Smeagol???

Probably a blue God-Emperor of Mankind on the Golden Throne, withered limbs, empty eye-sockets, and a few gorillion tubes sticking out of every part of a half-decayed body and everything.

It certainly is my fetish

Mk_C

These fetishes are getting really specific.

You mean that a few internet articles and videos I watched lied? As with the Loroi sagas - it's not technically a lie for one to relegate a tale in terms and concepts that he understands, and for those who heard it to do likewise, repeatedly. Until people start telling tales of how a Classical peri...

Fun facts about the T-34 Why must you trigger me so violently, Dragoongfa? T-34 was not designed and built by a single man. It's not a rickety tractor with a gun and bolted-on armor, it's a specifically developed military vehicle - it has over 20000 parts, a good deal of them novel-developed. Think...

The 'Beta' or early build theory coincides with what we know about the Loroi abilities and the vast discrepancies between 'power levers'. It can also be that the Soy originally intended to have Loroi filling a wide spectrum of functions, and didn't intend strong PK or Farseeing to be universal - ju...

It processes data from its sensors, compiles it according to parameters and shows all that on its HUD. Threat vectors, path markings, aim assists, possible cover spots, approximate mine locations and also warnings in case of psi-interference. It would have been a wholly different matter if Tempo co...

Mk_C

I still don't get this. The Umiak know of the "witch-elves" trickeries, but they still send just a single trooper in? There are multiple shadows in the first panel and it's not like a couple of them would not fit in there. So why not send three? Or one and a couple of remote-controlled probes? With...
