Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Powerful enough nukes in space can still do some light ablative damage at a kilometer. AM or the Loroi equivalent if powerful enough I reckon could at least wipe out three kilometers or somewhat less with sheer thermal radiation. That sounds like a lot of nukes will be needed to cover a standard ba...

Re: Page 200: Golden 200!!!
I don't know that they can vent the atmosphere without it being discovered. Maybe they could pretend everyone inside were killed in the shockwave, or they can pretend that Tempo was the important cargo bringing heretofore unknown technology (alex' gadgets) back to Loroi space, while hiding Alex in a...

months on the front line in a ship, though. Not exactly close range ship-boarding combat.

Maybe that's why they're packing him in a suit. Lure the bugs in, push him off, then scuttle.

Re: Page 199: MAD about stuff
I only now noticed that there was a spotlight being shined on the Loroi shuttle. I visual inspection a typical way that salvaging/security-checking wreckage is done? In terms of using see-through-wall radar systems, it's not clear how that would work in an instance where what you are trying to spot ...

Re: Page 199: MAD about stuff
Is salvaging wreckage something that's part of what a gatecrasher force will do? That is, they push into enemy territory, bringing tankers and whatnot, but also grab whatever they can use from destroyed enemy ships? And how much usable salvage will even be left from a destroyed ship? Lol, just reali...

Re: Page 197: Playing games
Back on page 156 the historian advised Alex not to reveal its presence, but they seem to know about it here. Do the Loroi think the construct is not present and the the projector is suspect by association alone? Alex clearly not listening to the historian anyway, which is understandable but may hav...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
I was watching "I won't let you down" by OK Go, and it brought up a question.
Would loroi be better at choreography than humans/non-telepathic species?

Re: page 196: Crossfire
@dragoongfa A hill makes ranged attacks more difficult. A gravity well would make those easier. If Heinlein wasn't such a degenerate coomer, I'd recommend reading "Mooning a harsh Missus" for a demonstration of the principle. Would a planets gravity well noticeably affect ships with the engine outp...

Re: Page 194: partial functionality
Okay given the conversations happening is it even possible the Historians could have a weapon system this far out? Also it is right the lorori show a lot of racist traits with their telepathy. Is not as much racism as a consequence of their telepath culture. Loroi don't (most simply cannot) hide an...

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Now why would they need to put on the outer parts of those suits? The more I see how Beryl treats Alex like a little boy, the more I doubt her good intentions behind that one panel of the two kissing. Well, he did just disobey protocol to wander around losing body heat in an emergency situation.
