Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread
A 50-year old car is a total wreck, and you expect a starship to be operation in a million years? It never ceases to amaze me how many SF and Fantasy writers have no concept of how time erodes things. There's a big difference between a car that was left in the woods (like the ones my parents found ...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Warfare hasn't really done much to cull our numbers. I'm having a hard time imagining Loroi having a stable population, given all the biological hard-wiredness for a population boom. Most of the population female? Rapid maturation? Long lifespan? Sexually active for most of it? And (also very import...

Re: Miscellaneous Terran question-and-answer thread
Tough it is conceivable that a scout ship heading in to deep space and back with alien artifacts might go unnoticed it would not bring something revolutionary to humanity in such a small scale. What you need in order to elevate humanity two tech levels higher so they can compete with the other race...

Re: Concept Fanart of Future Terran Ship Designs

Re: The end of the war Thread
How will the war end? Loroi or Umiak will not be pleased with us and they will send a fleet to wipe us out. Just when all hope seems lost, humanity will come to the revolutionary discovery of tactical jumps. With the ability to jump right behind the enemy fleet, the laughable mass drivers become the...

Re: Concept Fanart of Future Terran Ship Designs
A few thoughts: I dont' see technological advancement as a straight road that means that a generally more advanced race is better in EVERYTHING. While one branch of technology generaly pulls another, different branches, even different sub-branches, can advance at a different pace. I'm a firm believe...

Re: Concept Fanart of Future Terran Ship Designs
Your replies honor me :) Actually, I'm thinking about how they would detect the firing. If the weapons were inside the vessel, it would take time for the heat from the weapon to reach the outer skin of the ship (by radiation, conduction and whatnot). By the time Loroi/Umiak sensors indicated that t...

Re: Concept Fanart of Future Terran Ship Designs
Someoen said humantiycan't hurt the Loroi? Wrong. They can utterly murder them IF the get in range. Their mass drivers pack a bigger punch that practicly anything in Loroi arsenal. Of course, that means little when you get blasted before you get in range of your super-weapon. The the issue is gettin...

Alex Jardin, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM I can actually see that. And it makes an earie amount of sense. Except Alex doesn't have a chainsword OR bolter. Or heavy artillery support. Mr. Cain, as I recall, always made do with a laspistol. The bolt pistol on the covers was Imperium propaganda. Also, if Alex...

oh, why does fireblade always have that "don't mess with me" look all the time ? She always wanted to be an angry marine, but know it was impossible. ...

Re: Page 101: And I will take VERY good care of you!
Technicly, with good enough knowledge of biology and manipulation, you should be able to create offspring. If you know how human DNA transmits data and how Loroi DNA transmits data, you can basicly create "artificial" life-forms. Altough it would be more classified as "genetic experiment" or "sin a...

Re: Page 100
I doubt the Lori can figure out and decipher human recordings in a matter of hours.
Especially not if they are encrypted - and a vessel like Bellarimne they would be.
Evne for something as basic as a you tube video you have to have an apropriate codec.
