Re: Miscellaneous Cast question-and-answer thread
Why would Beryl be on the basketball team? She's short and nerdy. Why did you think that shes nerdy? Shes a listel because she was practically born into it, she didnt choose it. Maybe she is berserker inside, her spiritual animal is bear protecting its offspring, and only thing she want in life is ...

Re: Human Superweapons (again)
There is actually another way to go with 2160 wartech of TCA i think. Stealth asteroid bases with supressed massdrivers launching a sneak attack. Yes it is true that effective range in combat of mass drivers is laughable (tho i disagree that they are useless against stations, 600m at 3g is just too ...

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread
Iirc arioch said somewhere that jump point is about 1 light second wide. + If if jump point were so big it dosent make sense for jump point guard stations to exist, but they do and we saw more then one. An inbound jump zone is comparatively narrow, not much more than 1 light minute wide, but a "saf...

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread
Let's see, how to phrase it differently: IT WILL NOT WORK! You're trying to build a Soia dread-star with "sticks and stones"-level of tech. We have chewed it through a couple of times already, let's not spam the Q&A thread. Arioch will have a hard time compiling it into the Insider database. If you...

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread
The Umiak are willing to take 50% losses with deep jumps. How will a nearly non-mobile asteroid help? Laos, jump points are larger than a light-second. So where will you "park" it? And where to park the ones to interdict deep jumping? I see some very large logistical gaps in your idea. Behemoths wo...

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread
Solution can be in technologies that is nosense for other races but will work if you have industrial capacity to spare. If TCA will make 1000 of its current ship designs it wont make much difference simply because of the weapon range and speed difference, on the other hand, TCA can theoretically ma...

Re: 210 Far-sensing?
We know from chapter cover that she did unpack him from the suit.
Also this page makes me think that loroi might have killed Kirkland since she was near alex and could possibly survived blast.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
I have a concept for a Listel grand-master character who is something like 800 years old (to show what that might look like), but at present there's nothing in the script that calls for her. And then she starts "I want to see this "Terra" myself" and starts annoying everyone around her to get there...

Re: Page 194: partial functionality
Scout Corps ships like Bellarmine don't have "enlisted" crew members. The Scout Corps is more like NASA than it is like the Navy; s missionsit are long range deep space operations that stretch ship endurance to the limit, and so the crews must be as small as possible. Every member of the crew has a...
