Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread
I noticed that the same was true of the Bellarmine . Despite calling for battle stations, the only people getting into spacesuits were damage control personnel. On the Bellarmine , the entire bridge depressurises, killing the command crew. The only surviving crewmember is a damage control officer. ...

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread
Hy Arioch, I'm very sorry if this has been asked before, but I was wondering about the state of piracy in TCU Space. I do remember that prior to First Contact with the Orgus, the TCU had a "Shore Guard" kind of navy going on, so that does imply an illegal activity (space piracy?) of some kind, right...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
In the current era, Farseers and their equipment are specialized for detecting the presence, location, and condition of remote minds. They are not specialized for receiving distant telepathic signals, and so do not make for good FTL radios. It is possible to send amplified messages that a Farseer c...

Blue, Yellow, Orange and White - Now, where have we seen this colour scheme applied to spaceships before...?
It is a beauty, that much I can say. Good job, Arioch!

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
So, I'd been reading a few of the Insider pages again (because why not?) when I noticed in the "Small Craft" section of the 'Shipboard Weapon Profiles' entry, it says quite emphatically that Small Craft have no jump capability. This got me thinking, does the Highland have a jump drive? I mean, it do...

Re: Page 117: I will demonstrate!
That's what I'm reading too. "Senior, attention to me!" or a variant thereof. There's no single good translation to toilal sininra, really - part of the meaning gets lost during translation.GeoModder wrote: Btw CF2, am I translating your signature well with "My seniors, please observe"?

Re: Page: 118
While I would normally fall in the "Stay Quiet" camp, were I in Alex's comfortable, Lori-made green shoes, I do have to agree that seen through the lens of the technological gap between Humanity and the "Players" of the war, there is no point in hiding Earth. Extermination will come eventually, weth...

Re: Page: 118
From my own personal experience ( Steallaris, ahoy!) , when you are expanding your empire early on and you have very limited resources to build a colony ship, you can very well happen to have surveyed the regions around your empire and find one side full of perfectly colonisable worlds, rich in mine...

I've been translating the map to english. For reference: http://well-of-souls.com/gallery/images/outsider118.jpg The text on the top of the map to the right of the speech bubble "Now, marked is our current position (...)" reads Doirar Bennel , meaning "Enemy Area". On the panel where we can see thei...

Re: Pages 114, 115, 116
I don't know about you people, but I don't think Beryl's "jealousness" comes from any romantic intention of hers... at least not yet. I can see it happening in the near-to-mid term future, although I think it is less likely than a strictly professional and platonic attachment to Alex and vice-versa....

Personally, I don't really like the idea of Outsider having too much emphasis on romance or - goddess forbid it - romcom elements. But then again... read my signature.fredgiblet wrote:SpoilerShow

Ok people, I have a new game for you: It is called What is Beryl Feeling? - it's a very simple game, we simply have to guess what our dear Tozet Beryl is feeling as of the end of page 116!

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
I just wanted to say that this is, so far, my favourite piece you have drawn for Outsider, Arioch. Even more than Laughing Beryl! http://well-of-souls.com/temp/114_1.jpg It's so meaningful! There goes Alex, full of good-will and willing to become friends with Talon, and her look of total surprise (d...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Arioch, I was talking to Nyrath the other day and mentioned your calculations regarding Particle Beam weapons. He was really interested and asked me to ask you for those equations - do you still have them, or have they been lost in the wells of time? And if they have been lost, could you point us as...
