an interesting discussion. I would like to point out the doom of man to increasing automation has been predicted on several occasions. And yep, i understand that the articles are pretty clear that this revolution in technology is intrinsically different. writers, futurists, and games have projected ...

It's unfortunate that one crewman died, Aviation pioneers tend to pay a very heavy price for any advancement. Fortunately, a single accident shouldn't put a damper on the project. It's unusual for any sort of advanced aircraft to make it through development without an accident. The NTSB, or FAA will...

I dont do ery well with People, but thisis a fair version of one of My Valkiir..... http://fc00.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/065/b/b/jesse_s_nahma_rhictor_syfrae_by_wbyrd-d5x6hc5.png if ya want to read up on them Here's some info on them..... http://wbyrd.deviantart.com/art/Valkiir-354470384 Basically...

Hi, not so much an introduction.....It's just been a long time since I popped in and posted anything.

Point... szurkey!!!

Yeah, that would be about the cheapest way to level a colony. But fortunately it's also about the easiest to fix, you just send a ship to destroy the engine, or redirect it...unless of course that fleet of cobbled together warships was waiting for ya.

I imagine the threat of inter colonial hostilities had to be a real concern at the upper levels of government. it is a historical pattern that as colonies grow they tend to become more inclined, and capable of hostile acts without the support of their parent government. without any opposing force ev...

An engineered pigment, for better UV protection.( the star they were relocated/seeded to gives off much more UV than SOL, and has less UV protection on surface than earth.) The blush purple...if you can get one to blush. I have to admit I had created the Valkiiir earlier, but altered them slightly a...

Well, small world JaL I already have a couple of pieces by you faved over on deviant art :D I have one or two things I've done, no where as artistic...My human pics are embarrassing unless I have a model/base to work off of. A Loroi styled High Speed Cruiser http://wbyrd.deviantart.com/art/loroi-Hi-...

bac in the dim and misty I liked to play around with The Traveller 2300 Starship combat system.. (cant remember the name. ) In that system ships had signatures which determined how hard they were to detect and target fro various angles. A lone narrow ship was preferable over a ship with a large radi...

Roland Made a few mental notes on Unit discipline and cohesion int he future. The abilities of the Loroi were definitely going to make things interesting. Even in his armor Roland could manage the door and the shaft, the marine armor was designed to make it very easy to move about in most combat env...

I am a huge fan of the old school space battleships. I cut my teeth watching satrblazers and G-force. so they are a childhood favorite. I went another direction with my stuff, mostly because I cant do justice to the Old school Space Battleship style :D Now I have to say that a few fetaures of The ol...

Its not that stealth in space is difficult, its straight up impossible without hiding behind the stellar terrain. okay let me rephrase that......point conceded lets move on :D while stealth in the sense of hiding is impossible, at least in hard sci-fi... deceiving sensors, jamming them, or using tr...

Well, yeah stealth is a bit more difficult in space..not totally impossible but simply sneaking up on and enemy isn't gonna happen that often unless they enemy is really sloppy. Use of Electronic warfare, decoys, and deception techniques, would be key to a successful raid by smaller ships. Hitting s...

...sometimes tactics, and long term strategy can alter the effectiveness of a design. The most effective ships and vessels early on in the war were Motor Torpedo boats and submarines. they ran harassing and interdiction operations against Japanese shipping, and did to japan what Germany tried to do ...

I hope ya don't mind, but was thinking of a slightly different approach to countering the tech advantage of the Loroi, small fast vehicles built in large numbers and used to raid hostile convoys, and supply lines, the plan being to make any operations against Earth more expensive and problematic tha...

Post 5 This is Ensign Anderson. Everything alright over there? Is... the Commander well? The enemy is not moving so far and the Captain is getting nervous. I let you know if anything changes...] Steen surveyed his immediate area, nothing with more legs than two was visible, and no one had fired at t...

hmm whine faced with an enemy that has better weapons, and technology, the most successful way to combat it is ..don't..find a way around their strengths. perhaps an alternate to Umiack, and Loroi shielding could be developed since you know where the enemy is, and want angle direct fire weapons woul...

Hey can I get someone to toss me a rope here..So far getting back into things has been a complete failure.

Roland shook his head at chalies comment and tapped his helmet with a grin. He listened to the conversations and let it go as pre mission stress relief. Noting the New ensign had not seemed to be overly cowed by the presence of Charlie in his heavier armor. He made notes, and selected several of the...

His briefing assimilated, gear for an assault mission now strapped to his armor, and enough spare clips for his weapons to fight an extended engagement tucked into his kit bag, Roland double timed it from the armory to the Hanger deck. He tested his command links to make sure his system was synched ...
