Uhm... Looks like they returned to designs, they were planing for Homeworld 2 originally. There was idea to have space structures so big starships can navigate and fight in them. Homeworld 2 didn't manage the gigastructures there was just obstacles. Also that warp gate looks like from final cinemati...

Why would an ultra-tech weapon need a trigger guard? I think when putting the pistol in the holster, the trigger notch may catch on the edge of the holster and press the trigger. And as in this moment you probably still hold the pistol by the handle, the auto safety system wouldn't recognize the fa...

How one aim with Loroi particle beam pistol? It has no visible sighting devices.

IIRC Loroi didn't sense Historian constructs.

Trade wouldn't have a name for a particular species of Earth trees.

Isn't derred reed a name of an earth plant?

The word bilon ash - does it mean that ash that is cinder or that ash that is tree?

Now I'm too meet the SQL error. It vanished on page reload.

But the situation in general looks unhealthy. Time to change hosting again?

Also, shouldn't this thread be moved to Website/Forums Issues?

Maybe, Tempo read that from other shells minds.

In the James Cameron movie The Abyss , Hippy uses the term "Sphincter Factor," perhaps to make it more obvious to the non-military audience, but I think "Pucker Factor" is probably clear enough. Thanks, should check, how real translators do this. Uh, real translators just make it into boring: In tr...

Pucker factor...
Thanks Arioch for using a concept that even doesn't exists in Russian.
In Soviet Russia™ a soldier must endure the hardships and burdens of military service with fortitude. Period.

I'm not sure if the Stray is aware of this - he should still be one system away.

Talon on 195 said that it's (his?) fleet possibly jump from Sala 101

Uh, just limit ftl engine to consume energy equal to potential energy delta of moved projectile. And now you acceleration is limited by your energy source. So you need to spend as much energy, as accelerating your projectile with conventional methods. If it's not enough, limit it also with kinetic e...

Encryption would work only if part of the key is entered by user on device boot. And, as we see, there was no such case - Alex was not surprised, that pad didn't ask him to enter the password. The key, stored in CPU chip, that is usual for modern phones, can be extracted with high tech scanners.

It's possible to do kind of power off intrusion even with our current tech. Take the storage unit from device, install it in your computer and do whatever you want. It's technically power off intrusion. It can be countered by full encryption, but it's not a case of onboard devices, as they must be a...

If it's a social stigma, do Loroi have civil / warrior segregation?

A thousand of torpedoes is a normal volley for a Umiak fleet. They obviously had some countermeasures for their own tactics. Also, that ambush orion missiles would be probably around 1-5 Light Minutes far from inbound fleet. Umiak would have enough time to prepare for incoming missiles. As for accel...

Fun fact while having an Orion drive flipping like you wanted previously is pretty much not happening, by changing where a bomb detonates it can turn faster then Loroi ships can... also can change the rate of detonations to cause them to "JUMP" predicting where they will be by the time a laser/part...

Anyway, how about a question. What level of man/machine interfaces do the Humans have? VR, implants, cybernetics, full Matrix-style immersion? I remember that topic was already discussed here. Uh, here it is: If you mean computer implants, I think they will exist, but will be rare and limited in ca...

so we could probably see it if it weren't for light pollution. The level of light pollution in the cities and even in the suburbs is unimaginably high. I've used to see night sky as a dark blue dome with several dozens of blue dot lights. And when I first saw the sky in the middle of nowhere, where...

As an analogy, consider a consortium of Michael Faraday, Andre-Marie Ampere, and James Clerk Maxwell being given the task of replicating an iPhone during the American Civil War. I have a suspicion that even for them, the iPhone will be indistinguishable from magic. And its discovery, instead of the...
