The Loroi do have shortages of trained personnel, but the bottleneck is not the birth rate, but rather the capacity of education and training infrastructure... and time. As Arioch has said before, the Loroi are running out of time to win the war, and education matters not nor how many students you ...

And if I had a Loroi I would expect monogamy but would be OK with her donating her eggs for Loroi test tube babies. And of them all the Loroi I had the biggest crush on was Spiral by far so I would bt default go for her. Assuming she does not act TOO immature we would be cool. EDIT: I think you woul...

Humans might make for good sex for Loroi assuming Loroi like to mate for recreational purposes and not just reproduction. Only problem with that is that Loroi do not seek intimacy through sex unlike humans. Personally I think there are bound to be Loroi who mate for recreation but that’s aside the ...

Despite all Loroi have going for them human ladies beat them in one clear respect. They can reproduce a baby, whereas a man cannot ever make a baby with a Loroi woman. Beyond all that and the telepathy aspect, everything else is cultural. All Loroi females unless I am mistaken do what amounts to bei...

Copy that. Missiles with heat-sensors launched... Countered! Laser cannon submarine. Fire and duck under water! Heat sensor that! Counter countered! Superheated exhausted discharge from spaceships are directed at the surface of the planet, including the oceans. Submarine crew boil alive as heat ris...

EDIT: And actual sea battleships with laser cannons could fire waaay more than spaceships before overheating since they have the ocean to dump heat into.

Countered!

Laser cannon submarine. Fire and duck under water!

Heat sensor that!

Pah! Pulse lasers, my friends, the future belongs to pulse lasers. Perhaps... but without a scifi level heat sink we are not getting laser pistols on par with guns for lethality.. and if we ever did the laser pistols power pack would detonate like a bomb if it overheated and had significant energy ...

And likely also not in Oxygen-filled environments. If that's the case, would you consider a particle beam shot into a planetary atmosphere (with a large percentage of oxygen in it) a weapon of mass destruction? :) I believe the 'Real' issue about hand-held, man-portable particle beam weaponry is fi...

Yeah on that note, assuming thats a hardtrooper coming, does anyone know if their crummy little blasters are up to this? I don't think it was clarified if the weapons they have can actually reliably penetrate hardtroop power armor. Beryl has blaster rifle, and if the Loroi ship beam weapons are any...

Tissues. Get. Sorry.

I think often the greatest fear of the unknown, since once a threat is known well enough you will have the opportunity to deal with it. Which are heroes will soon enough. I reckon Beryl is probably telepathically screaming to Fireblade right now while Fireblade is like <I know, stay alive, I'm comin...

It's known as "Libet's Experiment" (https://neurons.ai/blog/news-stories/free-will-libets-experiment/) and what Jagged and I are telling you is quite accurate. I would add, in addition to what that web page I just linked to reports (in which subjects self-report when they plan to move their fingers...

I cannot fathom how anyons can use telepathy to express complex subjects coherently without using any sort of language. I believe there is a fair amount of evidence that when we think things in our heads, the words that frame the thought come last and aren't really needed at all. I have good longte...

Even computer programming has it's own language, without it you cannot program anything Computer code isn't the best example, since it consists of instructions to a computer rather than what linguists would call a language for communicating information. The machine code that's executed on a compute...

Telepathy is non-verbal; it doesn't use words. There is no relationship between Trade and telepathy. Telepathy is not just "mental speaking." If that were the case, then telepathy would be useless for reading the thoughts of aliens who don't speak Trade. Loroi babies do start to learn telepathy in ...

I think it was a really good move on Arioch's part to have the Loroi have an origin they actually agree on more or less... even if some of the details are fuzzy. What we know: 1. Loroi speak a single language for the most part called Trade... handed down to them from their past... possibly all the w...

Although I suppose people love DVD extras, I usually take it as a bad sign when I see that a movie had multiple endings. A good story usually has a very specific beginning, middle, and end. There are a variety of ways to get there, but it seems to me that if you don't know what the ending of your s...

For a video game I am all for multiple good endings though lol. It increases replay value!

There is a lot of well written and acted scifi available. DS9, for all it's strengths and flaws, I now realize ended in the best way it could have. Since I am older I understand much that sailed right over my head when I watched it as a teen. The Dominion was doomed anyway due to the Founders deteri...

Assuming the Umiak offensive fails (as so many others have) than an expedition out to Earth space to set up logistics for another front in the next decade or two makes long term sense. The war has already been going on for decades, it might remain going on for decades until a new element gets intro...
