Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Well, if you compare it population wise, we're definitely in the Yugoslavia range compared to Loroi's USSR. :lol: My point is that without military autonomy, Humanity would be subject to the whims of the Loroi. It doesn't matter how much money you have or how much of the economy you control, if the...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
We can't really dictate much to them. The downside of exposing ourselves by sending the contact mission is that they know we are there and they will come for us sooner rather than later. The advantage of exposing ourselves rather than hiding is that by offering ourselves we can get a better deal th...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Oh. Very nice. That means humanity has a potential edge given time. How would the Loroi take human technological progress in the past and now? I don't remember if it was mentioned how long it took the Loroi to go from primitive planes (Kitty Hawk type) to high speed prop planes to jets and rockets....

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread
How does Earth manage to sustain eleven billion souls? I remember reading in, I think it was, Engines of Creation, where Drexler stated that with sufficiently advanced nanotechnology, we could comfortably sustain eight billion people at an American middle class lifestyle (circa 1980). So, I suppose ...

Re: Cultural shock/differences
My expectation is that this is the rule, not the exception, so I doubt they'll feel strongly about it when applied to us. That they have encountered examples of non-caste-based military service systems before, but that tells us nothing of how they would view it. Also, from what we've seen of them s...

Re: M.O.O. 2
I'm guessing this is the official 4x Space Civ game thread.
If so, I'd like to wonder if anybody here has played Stardrive.
Also, I'd like to ask if there are any Outsider mods for any 4x game at all?

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Where is the restroom on the ship?
Is it in the vestibule? If so, was it placed there because of lack of space, or is vestibule some naval euphemism for latrine?

Re: Page 102
Why would Beryl think Alex would appreciate that security detail? Is she making some sort of assumption based on Loroi gender roles? Also, does she not understand why Alex would be uncomfortable around Fireblade, or is Beryl keeping a stiff upper lip and while sanzaing, "Alright people, we are going...

Re: Anti-gravity
If anti-gravity technology is a thing in this setting, does this mean drop pods that didn't turn it's occupants into jelly would be possible in this setting?

Do the Loroi have paratroopers?

how long do they have to maintain physical contact for a telepathic attack to work, it seemed that Fireblade needed a few minutes before she could atempt to scan Alex's mind. Well hypothetically Fireblade was trying to do something subtle. Extract information out of a hard to read prisoner. In the ...

Re: Cultural shock/differences
What I wonder is not the culture shock between Loroi Military Culture and Terran Civilian Culture, but Loroi Military Culture and Terran Military Culture. All current existing militaries, both conscript and volunteer, view military service as a civic function, that a citizen is expected or encourage...

You said Loroi society was still medieval in many aspects so my question is how is Loroi industry organized? Do they lack concepts we have such as standardized parts or joint-stock companies?

Welll, well... Fugger and Welser were not trade guilds. They were family owned trading and banking companys. No wonder you do not like them. I wonder why. The Fugger for example did a lot of good things, like building the Fuggerei for poor people. Let's not forget the forest for the trees. The poin...

Re: An idea on how to accelerate the creation of this comics
A swimsuit calendar! You'd sell a million of them. To both, sad neckbeards, and people who desperately want to see this comic progress. Also, I like the novel idea as well, though comics and novels are very different mediums with very different ways to tell a story. Then you could take the funds fro...
