Re: Page 218: The Volunteer

it would make sense that Fireblade might "volunteer," knowing 1.) that Tempo would never choose her because of her value, and 2.) that to not volunteer while everyone else did might signal that she puts her own interests above those of the rest of the team. Firebladee doesn't seem like a person who...

Re: Page 216: Time to move!

How could external clocks measure the duration of a jump, especially when the transit is faster than light and over interstellar distances? In Loroi case their farseers can detect ship, when it arrives at distant star. Or just simply jump there and back and compare onboard clock time with observer'...

Re: Page 214: Ready for boarding action!

Perhaps the pistol projects some sort of holographic sight that does not require a tube or frame, and only "powers up" when the safety is released or a finger is inside the trigger... space? Or that tubular gizmo on the rear of the weapon is an electronic sight? Yes, Arioch said that upper protrusi...

Re: How to Draw Outsider Characters

The GIMP has a specific Bucket Fill Tool mode, Line Art Detection, specifically designed for coloring comicslike images.

I think, Photoshop may have similar tool.

The shading process is more or less the process described in the tutorial linked above, though I have since streamlined the process a bit.
Do you still color manually with paintbrush like you described in that old file?

Re: A Question Of Maneuverability

I really doubt that using torpedoes as busters made and significant change in ship speed. They have twice the acceleration of the ship, but thousands times lighter. So their effect would be the thousandth part of ships acceleration.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

I also wonder why the frequency range of nearly all Earth creatures' vision is around the same narrow band, rather than spread more widely across the spectrum. Sunlight intensity peaks at much longer wavelengths than the "visible" range. As I once tried to tell on Discord, this is due to the water ...

Re: Homeworld 3 Announced

Never managed to beat HW2 either, but it was more of a story issue for me. HW2 uses adaptive difficulty scaling where the larger your fleet is, the more enemies spawn. All missions in HW2 was designed and heavy scripted to be rushed by player. You stop charge for a moment and immediately overwhelme...

Re: Loroi Trade translation request general

The most common sweet in Russia in my opinion is Varenye (an analogue of jam ). Also hard candies and caramel candies . As for baking - it's really less sweet in comparison. Some suggest ( pankakes ) that it is eaten with jam. Also, as Tamri mentioned, drinking tea with sugar cubes . PS The Wikipedi...

Re: Loroi Trade translation request general

the flavors of even "sweet" dishes are mild and rather bland (like Russian or Japanese desserts). Don't know about Japanese, but now I'm curious what are considered Russian "sweet" dishes from US citizen point of view? As I neither hear Russian food considered bland nor foreign food much sweeter.
