Re: What does YOUR Name Mean?
My RL name would translate into "Goddess of the shabby and unkempt", because technically my first name is God, but in the feminine form (its a family name soooo) As long as there wasn't a generation where literally every first-born son and/or daughter received the same first name, I think you're fi...

Recruiting testers
After getting the OK for this post from Arioch (because this is off-topic for the forum), I'm looking for a few testers for a FORTH system that I'm developing. I'm currently running it on a 64-bit Win7, but I'm not ruling out any particular platform. It does have bugs, hence why I'm looking for test...

Re: Besieging A Pipolsid Bunker City
Are you in a rush? Plan Fast - drop a KT+ impactor on the opposite side to force mass vulcanism in the target zone, swallowing the city drop a KT+ impactor above the city, maybe directly impacting it, and forcing mass vulcanism... drop multiple sub-KT masses in coordinated waves to generate devastat...

Re: The Most Powerful Known Race In The Local Bubble.
Would you prefer racially homogenous? They are a people of a common genetic ancestry of a relatively small people in a limited geographical area. And I can assure you there is a swiss people. I think we need a definition of the word "ethnicity" and "people". An ethnicity is a bunch of persons with ...

It was the bridge shield. Main shield was taken out by Rebel MC cruisers bombardment, even in the movie you can clearly see how admiral Ackbar orders his entire fleet to focusfire executor. If a ship that costs as much as an entire fleet can be taken out by an entire fleet, then it is an inferior u...

Re: The "Real Aerospace" Thread
So, I've just had a reeeeally crazy idea I've been mulling over for about two weeks, and I'd like to pass it by here.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Nobility is far more a judge of character than a job is. A good comparison might be the respect the US pays its veterans. Once attained that respect is bound to the person and losing it would require a truly public disgrace. There are plenty of historical examples of aristocrats acting like complet...

Well, Werra, I see it like this... with how many tendrils Lucas had wormed into the film industry (his companies effectively defined CG, and Disney now owns the THX standards body, in addition to lots of other stuff), Disney got their money's worth even without Star Wars.

Re: What does YOUR Name Mean?
Approximately, "A beneficial man descends". Which is somehow only slightly more overblown than what my father somehow thinks it means: "A man with a firey ax descends". I have no idea how he came to that meaning. As for what actual words are involved, I will only say that part is Welsh, and I refuse...

At this point I've forgotten most of the earlier information given to us, but the situation immediately makes me question if Tempo here is thinking of trading Alex for immediate safe passage out for her and the other Loroi. The enemy commanding bug in the system is one of the more talkative ones wi...

Looks like the last text box of 143 has 1 too many copies of "to".
Unexpected day for a comic, but nice nonetheless. Also nice to see that nothing seems critical. Perhaps Jardin will be able to convince them to break into the "artifact stores" so he can get some decent food.

And FTL through shortcuts is directly equivalent to FTL through inflation, by which I mean that it isn't FTL at all.

Re: Page 137: Adieu SG-51
If a wormhole is opened between two stars, ten light years apart, it doesn't matter if the start point and the end point agree that the space ship only traveled 3 meters through a shortcut. A third observer watching 5 light years between the start point and the end point still sees the ship move 10...

Re: Page 137: Adieu SG-51
No matter how hard you try, every single FTL method will create paradoxes. You can even use clever tricks to avoid it from yours and your target's Reference Frames, but there will always be another frame of reference, somewhere, where it will be breaking causality. It sucks. That's only true for "t...

Re: Page 134: For Science!
Here's a thought. Most or all of the extra-bubble expeditions were looking for the fabled remnants of a far earlier psionic weapons development project, including the Bulan Conflicts (someone objected to someone else looking). When the Soia arrived, they (and presumably noone before) found precisely...
