Umiak are not very similar to Earth insects, but it's probably true of almost any species that you could find some chemical or drug that will incapacitate or kill them but not you. Reminded me "ancient" scifi book of humans entering another moon/planet covered by ice/water. One of the scientist was...

Good but I just noticed that Alex doesn't have a backpack. Since this Umiak ship has been depressurized he wouldn't have more breathable air then what is in his helmet. I quess the helmet breaks the carbon dioxide into oxygen and carbon. It just needs a small powersource and scifi tech. But the que...

I believe that every social alien is potential to have pets or other domestic/symbiotic creatures to provide some interaction as well other produce (be that nourishment, work force, communication, hygiene, guard, etc). Though I do think that common scifi trope of bioengineered "Flintstones" is utter...

Very interesting topic, but as a scifi setting I m surprised that nobody has said anything about domesticated sentients. In some sense, loroi themselves fills this role, though they have lost their ancient masters. Loroi might also treat some of another races in their union as "animals" or "pets", t...

Make it look more like submarine stories than usual scifi. Space is shown sparily and it is usually boring. Black space with distant stars Pilot face Pilot looking intensively and some proximity sensor noise Then the hair and some small items are moving by g-forces even with inertia dampeners as pil...

I would like to add my word about sabotaging of the lifesupport. Imagine being responsible of such a system and you find out that someone flushed space-ink-cassette from toilet. - If you can stop the filter inflow within 10 minutes, the ship can survive without water 2 days when you scrub the pipes ...

If Emperor Greywind accidentally flatulates. . .

Thank you. Now I m always thinking this is where her name comes from.

Protip: ask an AI to draw itself. I dont remember exact wording, but I asked Midjourney to draw something like "Message on paper in big letters written in English." https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/769911262687133710/1014538128737960017/unknown.png The first one gave quite interesting view ho...

Forgot answer earlier, but I think that to loroi, human males are as manly, as female russian weightlifter from 1980, with beard and smoking a cuban cigar, is feminine to us. Though while we look ugly to them, the loroi crew have been long in space and might have eyes of medieval seaman watching man...

Jardin is having a culture shock. Being killed in accident or enemy is one thing, to being killed to sell their disquise was just not comprehensible. Now I also understand the page 206 : "There is only dead bodies here. Just like at previous room." Though I knew it, I did not comprehend it before. W...

Hemocyanin (Cu) transport oxygen better than hemoglobin (Fe) in low temperatures, while in our comfort area hemoglobin is better. But it is possible that actual loroi use another, still unknown copper based chemical. About brain computer, it is unnecessary. You only need radio-oscillator controlled ...

On the matter of the mentioned vibrations during jump. Is this something that happens despite your tech level or equipment within the Outsider setting? I can imagine that human jump technology might be cruder then what the Loroi and Umiak use, so the latter might be able to have easier transitions ...

Instead of videogame, got idea for Outsider themed card game. The deck got 4 cards of each caste and one umiak. Played by rules of "happy families".

Cute... sadly with the Umiak exoskeletons are not capable of much in the way of expression. Perhaps that is why they chit chat so much with each other. If you were a Umiak you would have to tell your fellow Umiak if how you felt since they would have no way of knowing by just looking at you as you ...

If I had few friends capable of doing art and code, I could build a tower defense game. The planets you protect, build you resources, that you use to build your defense lines. The umiaks come from few jump points toward your planets. Your "towers" arent just stationary targets, but some are ships th...

Game where you must write words faster and faster. The difficulty levels are: Beryl (Easy) 4-5 lettered words Tempo (Medium) 5-7 lettered words Fireblade (Challenging) 6-9 lettered words Stillstorm (Difficult) 7+ lettered words Kikitik-27 (Nightmare/Umiak) foreign words growing in length In the game...

This game couldn't be done with $15 000. It couldn't even be made with $15 000 000. For reference, Mass Effect Andromeda had a development cost of $80 000 000. It would be great if there was a game developer with more budget than Sony and Nintendo combined making a game with Avatar (the movie) like...

Spacetaker concept art Fireblade, the Silent Loroi https://i.ibb.co/MBcckbb/spacetaker.png The others would be Beryl, the Curious Loroi Tempo, the Diplomatic Loroi Talon & Spiral, the Double Loroi ... Not sure what kind of puzzle would work at best. Just avoiding umiaks on trapped maze doesnt seem r...

With only $15000 you must:
