bamboo all the way, you can use that stuff for EVERYTHING, boats, airplanes, buildings...i think it'd be difficult to make a combustion engine out of it, but the rest in a car is doable and also makes wonderful underwear and clothing in general, food, great for scaffolding, musical instruments....y...

Will the use of hemp (the fibers that the Declaration of independence is made of) be more wide spread? My logic is this: We can turn into building material, we can use it for paper, and we can make clothing out of it, and short of the Antarctica (at least as far as I am aware of, scientists can only...

How advance will cetain counties be? fterall we have plenty of nations that are at first world level today, and many more that are thrid world. WOuld they comparitivly in the time of the story, still be thrid world, or would things have changed in various countires where supper powers are now impove...

I know you said Space Pirates in the traditional sense would be out of the question, but what about say something simalar to Mass Effect where instead of targeting ships in open space, raiders could attack sparcly defended outposts and colonies?

How realistic is that threat.

Well you have a tallent of conveying both humor and sorrow into your work. Nice job.

Have either of the main sides of this war tried sending in probes through enemy territory, and what is the likelihood of success? Jump drive requires significant power (the powerplant of a ~75m class ship), so an instellar 'probe' is better known as a scout; it's an expensive piece of hardware that...

Let us know when we can start quoting Frankenstine.

You know, the line: Its alive! It's Alive! Oh, so this is what it feels to be God!

Have either of the main sides of this war tried sending in probes through enemy territory, and what is the likelihood of success?

I can see that. The US has one of the best food production in the word, and if so much did't go to waste, we'd probably see world hunger cut in half.

Are The Uniak the only "insectoide" race in their alliance, or do they have fellow bug people s buddies?

Currently we are at 7 billion. Unless something happens, probably by us, that puts us on the endangered species list, it might be conceivable to get that high.

It seems most of the Loroli have mixed reactions to Alex, ranging from curious glances to death glares.

Overall, how do the crew view him, and their opinion of their "first Human Ambassador."

How long could one of these ships stay out for? Say they have to be out longer, or are caught in a cosmic storm, or have to be extra stealthy to avoid being blasted into stardust, or quarantine due to an alien infection?

If given the opportunity, what is the likelihood they would or could use a biological weapon, such as a engineered virus, on a target planet? I thinking is it will probably not be killed by this disease themselves, unless it crosses over to them, and they can have it dispersed swiftly (such as by to...

What the the likelihood of say a boarding party option? I know this is largely a throwback to when ships were largely sail powered, and we've been very happy to blow each other up since then, but what are the chances? Say, for example, there is a damaged Umiak ship who's defenses are down, and the r...

Do Loroli have any equivalent to special forces, or commando units, and what missions would they specialize in?

With all the computers on a ship, it would seem like a viable target to introduce a computer virus to wreck havoc. How advance would their protection be from hackers and viruses?

Given that Umiak have to reproduce artificially, it seems they altered themselves greatly. Were they the ones that modified themselves originally, or were a higher level civilization the ones that pushed their evolution forward?

Besides enemy bombardments, what sort of dangers would a terrain ship face in space? Solar storms, meteors, space junk/debris, and other dangers that could arise? The thought comes from a very real danger of fire mariners face today at sea, and es[ecialy for submarines which are in an inclosed space...

How Long can a Loroi male go without sex and what are the consequences of prolonged celibacy (trying to find a better way to word it.) It's mostly due to how calm and matter of fact Beryl asked Jardin about his "needs." Yes she was wondering how to be say it sensationally, but it seemed like a "Tues...
