And a supplement question: how powerful are they, really? We know their technology is ahead of that of most (if not all) races, but not so superior that it can't be overcome with sheer numbers. Wouldn´t bet on that one. I´ve re-read the history of the war again (it was updatet end of oct ´12, while...

There are, no doubt, people who will rage and foam at the mouth at the thought of giving over our independence, but they will be a minority, and a small one at that. Huh. Wouldn´t bet on that one. The majority of people will be concerned with how this impacts their career, or their vacation plans r...

Where did i insult fredgiblet?

Trantor has been openly insisting on war On the PREPARATION for war, please. Don´t you read my posts, or don´t you understand/WANT to understand them? You were dismissive about my point that this is a job for our top diplomats. And now you say the very same, only in other words. You seemed to be im...

if they go with the heavy-handed overbearing overlord route (which, IIRC would be uncharacteristic) then they lose a lot of our value. Question is, do they think alike? I´m sure they don´t. The best path for them is to integrate us into the Union and let us handle ourselves internally they'll reap ...

You're missing my meaning, the "cargo spine" would be for the cargo, not the zeppelin. I got that, but it still doesn´t work. A Zeppelin despite it´s huge dimensions is a very fragile object, and it must be that fragile and flexible to react on winds, windshear, lift differences due to air pressure...

Why would I suggest ballast, don't zeppelins normally have the capability to compress their lift gas while pumping normal atmosphere into additional gas cells contained inside the normal ones? No, they pushed air in to expel the lift gas (the valves were on the belly for safety reasons). But only i...

Yes, and he didn´t liked the germans, too. Or at least the thugs from the german trade-guilds, because he was a remarkably righteous archon who strongly disliked corruption and lies. That´s why he had such a bad reputation - trade guilders PR. Do you have any proof for that and what kind of "german...

Let's both agree that we're glad the other isn't going to be in charge when things go down. Well, ok. But do you really have no problem living on your knees? Pot meet Kettle. :D I'm always amused by how quick he is to call out others on tone, hypocrisy and nationalism See? that´s the most important...

Largely from the lack of nose and tail reinforcements, right? And the general shape, especially under load. All good points, except that I would expect the actual rigging to consist of preparing the cargo-side lines first, grounding the Zeppelin when it arrives, and then quickly attaching the Zeppe...

You´re welcome!

The out-tech part comes from the Historians. Ah, so the Historians are going to hand us tech and the Loroi won't know or care about it What can they do? After the war, when they´re worn out? I´m not talking about a short time span of a few months. gotcha. No need to get bitchy. If we're valuable th...

As i said in the very same piece that you conviently ignored they aren't that effective. A spies efficiency is determined by their ability to blend in to the society. Yes. And they´re so different from us. Oh, wait... And there will be traitors, be sure. Tone? You wish to lecture about tone Yes, ´c...

First: Keeping a secret is way easier than obtaining the truth. If you don't want them to find out then don't talk to them. Hahaha. As if there´s nothing like espionage and traitors. Please don't bother responding if you can't answer this one point. I see potential for improvement in tone. And pls ...

I'm not seeing it. You seem to be implying that we're going to ally with the Loroi, gain their protection from the Umiak who are on their way, but also have complete autonomy to out-tech the Loroi and build a fleet without any oversight. The out-tech part comes from the Historians. That's not going...

Banking regulations don't exist to be fair to banks, nor to allow them to do business naturally, they exist to keep banks from nuking the economy every twenty years. I have the distinct feeling that currently they are doing exactly this. Over here in America they certainly are. From a certain persp...

And the Historians the US. I see no indication that the Historians are going to come out of the war with enormous political influence, an over-sized, experienced military and half of the Loroi/Umiak engineers and scientists. Don´t get lost in the details... They will be bled out and bankrupt. Pyrrh...
