There is a potential additional option. That option being that the farseeing is being jammed, and the Umiak have noticed this fact by watching the presumably unusual Loroi actions in this system, but the Umiak themselves are not responsible. Thus by lying Kliktik potentially scares useful informati...

Again...a HUGE gamble on Kliktiks part. He's abandoning a vastly superior tactical position for this. Why? He's in position to wipe out 51st task force, and the famed Stillstorm. In a war of annihilation (at least the Loroi call it so), deliberately sabotaging this opportunity is folly. So WHY? And...

Couldn't they just bypass this Loroi task force, and continue on to attacking the main Loroi lines, which are already collapsing? If you take what Tiky said at face value, that the Umiak fleets are already pressing Azimol, then no. Either their push succeeds or fails on its own, he can't arrive in ...

So war games with contrived rules bringing about foreseeable consequences is reality. And operational records are PR. K.

The Troll is strong with this one.

If they'd been attempting to test the jammer through battle, don't you think the Loroi would notice fleets being destroyed? Hell, fleets coming back damaged, and reporting enemies where they shouldn't be. The most forward intelligence you have in trench warfare are your raiding parties. The raiding...

What I'm wondering above all is; how much of this is a lie? Umiak would probably want to test out a big strategic weapon like the sensor jammer, but it seems as though he's saying they sent the fleets out concurrently with deployment of the jammer. That seems odd to me. Whats to say they didn't? Th...

I doubt the soviets of ´45-´50 would have bombed the rest of the world. I tend to think of Lenin and Stalin as pragmatists. They were willing to use force to expand the Revolution in Georgia, Manchuria, Eastern Europe etc. They were willing to use other means where they thought force unproductive. ...

The number one Russian objective has been territorial security; the idea that the Soviets wanted a world hegemony is just Cold War propaganda Not what Lenin said in his Left-Wing Communism: an Infantile Disorder , not what Stalin did with Europe and Manchuria, not what Khrushchev hammered out in th...

hi hi 50 nukes aren't going to cover the 54,759,000 square kilometers of Europe and Asia. Without satellite surveillance, what are you going to target anyway? A handful of cities in the Russian buffer states? Maybe hope that they bunch up their entire army in a big convenient clump for no reason? M...

hi hi The US had the bomb all by itself and the most powerful wartime economy in the world at the end of WW2. We could have dominated the world, or blown anyone who would not bend the knee into non existence, literally without resistance. I'm not so sure about that statement. see: Soviet Union. Im ...

Thanks for the answers, they reaffirmed some of the suspicions I had about each peoples' histories of warfare. Though I like to believe that if either species learned that humanity had detonated huge numbers of nuclear weapons as both a "pissing contest" and an act of territorialism that they would...

They are arguing my intent was that the projectile is fired from the EXACT same railgun as the larger projectile and done so with no modifications. I quoted you directly, not them. You're back pedaling because your initial posit was faulty. The new one you're putting forward, different more powerfu...

1.I never said it wasnt, smarty pants. Weapons however when they change what they fire also need to change, its common sense. Ok. Just.... stop. At a certain point I have to assume youre fighting for its own sake. You were wrong. You can not half the weight double the speed and still have double th...

Insider states humans are 200 years behind the Loroi. It was stated on the forums Humans advance 10 times faster then the Loroi. Humans are said in outsider to be 3 generations behind the Loroi. 200/10=20 20/3=~6.6 Depending on how long Current generation of ships have been around... Humans are bet...

43 kilotonnes of reactor fuel. Not sure if that's right -- feel free to check my math. Doesn't sound right. But that's 12% the mass of the ship, so maybe it is. Its a good starting point. That gets you the acceleration with no primary power left for combat. Consider bingo fuel at 50 hours accelerat...

*Antimatter radiation largely pions, which are unreactive with matter for several dozen meters, and decay into 60% neutrinos, which are completely unreactive with normal mater. A more exotic material might produce even less reactive radiation. IIRC, the Winter Tide is relatively small, and large pi...
