"Forced to hide" strikes me as more likely than "shot down": I don't think there would be much to land if they got shot at.

By the way, maybe there are real dragons. You know, in master of orion there were space dragons and crystals etc. Maybe the area is off limits because scout ships got lost repeatedly. I always lost my scout ships to these damn space dragons! :shock: Sadly, I think those ?whale? things that the Hist...

I don't remember anymore where I read that Beryl is a subordinate of Tempo. But both are information officers, with Beryl being the junior one and of a different caste. I could be wrong. Could be just a childhood memory. That she thought Alex would be her responsibility during transit is clear. We ...

In that scene the unidentified ship appear to be using some kind of active cloaking. Bellarmine had detected it at pointblank range, when it could be seen in details. Normally, they should have been noticed that ship from much greater distance, when it looked like a bunch of pixels. So, it approach...

Not sure if those two articles fit here or in that real aerospace thread. However, as they are about nuclear batteries, their safety and plutonium, I think its more fitting to post them here. NASA’s Plutonium Problem Could End Deep-Space Exploration and Titanium Bullets, Rocket Sleds, and C-4: How ...

Hey. I like this web comic. I just want to ask one thing. In the prologue page 6 panel 1 (?), we see in the upper right hand corner an image of a ship. I would speculate that this is the unidentified contact the Terran ship encountered. You can see glare of two aft thrusters. I suppose we could enl...

I think you are misunderstanding my and Razor's criticism, we're not just being contrarian and we're not just ragging on Christianity. No, but you are misunderstanding mine. We are analyzing and dissecting the good, the bad and the "meh" of Jesus and saying that Jesus gave some terrible advice. For...

You're right about Jesus not being 100% on all things. If the account is accurate (lol), then he's very much a product of his time trying to send out a message intended for his time. It shouldn't be surprising that Bronze Age / Early Iron Age ethics don't necessarily shine bright millennia later. h...

That definitely implies no one visited those systems in person "recently" and/or relied on some sort of long range scanning to make that determination, otherwise they should have at least picked up radio signals and other EM emissions that were not part of the normal stellar background noise. Which...

I disagree, we have all the information we need. The Loroi have used genocide twice in the past and the last time with the Tithric it was hailed as a major victory. It literally was a major victory. Umiak incursions through Tithric space had been one of the most significant threats to the Loroi in ...

There's a better question lurking somewhere in the shadow of the one you asked, waiting to come out. Probably something like "do you think it likely or unlikely that there are actions that will prompt the Loroi to commit xenocide?"

hi hi Over the last ten years, I've been seeing science and technology knocking down obstacles that people said they'd never accomplish, one after the other. "Computers can beat someone at chess, but they'll never beat someone at go . Machines can lay pavement, but they'll never be able to build a ...

I don't know. Amazons are a pretty persistent human literary trope. It might even be a Loroi equivalent of the attraction to tomboys. They have the sort of bits that (in this case) Loroi warrior's like, but he's also got more in common with them than the usual delicate beauties the Loroi ladies wou...

Eh, let's be honest with ourselves: Jardin might have to play an anti-Kirk (not the goatee kind, either).

Next you'll be telling me you never played Unreal. :P I haven't. Haven't played most of the DOOMs either. In fact, name a game, chances are I haven't played it (doesn't help that I have too many interests). Dune 2? Yes. SCraft 1? Yes. C&C anything? No. SCraft 2? On shelf. MoO 1 & 2? Yes. Civ anythi...

I don't recall if the whole diral deployed as one or not (more than the two of them did, certainly), but I am certain that they are the only two survivors of their particular fighter group.

hi hi That certainly is an interesting misunderstanding. I would almost wager that Enzin would need to explain the nature of TCA ranks, and that he is closer to the lower end of the hierarchy when it comes to officers. Although, I'm not sure what the Loroi would think of the concept of enlisted ran...

Is signature disguise a Mizol-rarity skill, or is it realistically possible for most Loroi? And just to confirm, it is one of those "dishonest liars" things that proper warriors wouldn't do normally (if ever), right? I don't think there's anything dishonorable about hiding and ambush, at least from...

I'd forgotten that Arioch zerg-rushes. Ok people, I have a new game for you: It is called What is Beryl Feeling? - it's a very simple game, we simply have to guess what our dear Tozet Beryl is feeling as of the end of page 116! "You scum-sucking poacher". And Overkill's right, Talon is totally gloat...
