Also, it´s apparently not just the presence of heavies that caused tempos expression, but the obviously abnormal request for contact.

That Umiak bridge looks a bit imrovised, too. Sloppy engineering.

Is that shell-dude tatooed? Right in the face?

This, or the phenomenon is totally new.

My comments were not meant as criticism.
Also armor came a long way since WWII.

That's what I had understood from my readings. However, I'm no naval historian, and I wasn't sure if the navy had used other methods to increase the effective strength of the armor beyond the actual thickness of the steel. Bismarck and Tirpitz had an armoured belt that was made of a combination of ...

CptWinters wrote:Second. I don't know the RHA equivalent for WWII warship armor, but I'm assuming a 1:1 equivalence.

RHA is WWII-age.
Today with composites, plastics, ceramics and so on it is used as equivalent (e.g. 20cm MEXAS = 40cm RHA).

Dfacto, furthermore humanity might ally itself with the Umiak and gain actual technology from them. This war could have been started by the Loroi and Umiak are fighting a "war of survival" like the Russians did against the Germans. The Loroi have a history of being brutal conquerors and even though...

Before WWI, Battleships' main armaments consisted mainly of small scale guns (6") while after actual combat it was shown that fewer large velocity guns were preferable. Muzzle Velocity wasn´t that high, for the SK C/34 (Bismarck-class Main Battle Ship) it was 820m/s with Standardpowder and 800Kg sh...

Humanity has 6 colonized worlds in 4 systems, of those worlds only 2 of which could be considered heavily industrialized (Earth, Mars). The other 4 worlds are not yet self-sufficient and depend on Earth and Mars for their finished goods needs. The Loroi have 50 inhabited systems with at least one i...

another effect might be studying the human Lotai telepathic mask ( or lack of Far-seeing detection) since the Far-seeing jammer, for lack of better words, is A) Telepathic is nature and thus, our abilities might be able to get in close to one of the jamming ships (or location of the device or perso...

Hope this isn´t considered necroposting, but i just found some nice fanart rendering of Orion-7:

...Well...the Umiak Ultra-heavy DOES have really good shields...and mass drivers aren't really affected by shields ... Aim at the engines... Sweet. Now where are we going to get the Mutara nebula at this hour? Let´s teleport to Ragnar Anchorage. :mrgreen: Also if computer gaming has taught me anyth...

Now i got it: Pesticides! We have pesticides! Yay, win!

Preliminary conclusion to this discussion: I´m curious to see what mankind can contribute. Arioch, surprise us!

Trantor, did you read the whole message? BattleRaptor never said that they could copy all the whole bike, only how they get some ideas from it. Ah. You´re right. Maybe they get inspiration. But maybe they just develop cargo cult. As i said before: Evolution is a matter of culture. They could get th...

Lets really go with a extreme Example. Moden Day motorbike sent back to the Early Bronze age. Could Bronze age man reverse engineer the bike to make fundermental and large scale changes to Early Bronze Age Civilizations? Yes he could..... No way. The heart of a motorbike is - the motor. It takes so...

OT Crossover: I bet the Loroi would be happy to have Orion-7´s "Overkill-Device". * Just set a point in space and time and ruuuuun. Disadvantage: Subgluon chainreaction is unpredicable, sometimes only stops when target is consumed and density of matter goes subcritical. Don´t use it on planets... :m...

Like, did you know that T-Ford works on/off and can be driven only on full speed or not-at-all.

Huh?
