Eh, I think a lot of these design concepts suffer from the same sort of "we're going to be engaging targets in all directions" mindset that affected inter-war tank design in the the twenties and thirties and resulted in a lot of designs that were unwieldy, overly heavy, underarmored, and wholly uns...

Funny thing about that, I've asked around the harder-end of SciFi community and they agree that hexagons are the best shape for spaceships. Not cylinders, not bricks, but hexagons. I see this work out in the closest thing we've got to a hard-scifi space combat simulator Children of a Dead Earth . Y...

Quick question Arioch, what sort of propellant does the Loroi use? From the looks of it in your comic, it looks like your average hydrogen propellant at immense thermal energies. If I somehow missed the answer, I must apologize for it. I'm not certain, but I think it might make sense if it's superc...

I realize that it's a tradition, but I think that in the modern world, naming your children after yourself reeks of ego. The paternal side of my family had something of the opposite tradition, an almost superstitious avoidance of naming children directly after living relatives. Having my father's m...

Thank you, it is amazing how well world builded the Loroi are. It is like you lived with them of like five years or something.

I'd say its more like twenty years, of the dates on some the entries on his website are any indication.

What if the slug were stealth? I don't see why not. I recommend you look up footage of a USNavy rail gun being fired. It’s a highly energetic event involving lots of plasma and molten metal from both the rails and the projectile sabot making a spectacular muzzle blast. Any such projectile would glo...

That's why they have dedicated, smaller "header" tanks for the landing burn, which are full at the time of ignition. The engines relit properly, but then had some kind of subsequent pressure problem. Yeah, I read up on the header tanks after Mjolnir's reply. In this case, it sounds like the low fue...

The first two engines shut down on the way up mainly to reduce acceleration, they can only throttle down to 40%. The third engine cut off to do an unpowered dive and test controlled flight with the flaps. They were short of fuel pressure, not fuel. It should be able to land on any two engines and m...

If one side can force the other to remain in sealed suits the whole battle, that might be worth considering. I'd had this thought too. I think the Loroi would definitely be susceptible to this; the Fireblade and Spiral are both pretty quick to take off the armor layers of their outfits when everyon...

So is this memeory altered or did someone bring hard troops to these people's positions? Jardin is not watching a video playback, he's remote viewing a dream about a traumatic childhood event via a telepathic connection he has never experienced before. So it's likely not a 1:1 recounting of a parti...

Pretty sure she IS waiting. It may well be she's still expecting his Lotai to be semi-conscious, and a real relaxing exercise may bring a crack in it. And she and Fireblade will jump at it, once they *see* it. And given that something did happen during Beryl's little experiment that assumption migh...
