I did wonder about this. And given that there's now evidence that the Loroi aren't so bad once you get to know them [unlike the ever-oppressive Umiak] I'd say that the Loroi would be first choice even if a Scout Ship comes back with an offer from the Umiak. Though given the reception that the Bellar...

I finished the spacecraft. It's too late at night to draw a background for it though. http://i.imgur.com/raGllv9.png Since the TCA can't miniaturise their particle weapon technology, I suppose the main cannon on this will have to be something less advanced. Perhaps a wide-beam laser, the type that's...

In response to spoiler, I shall spoiler in kind: So we aren't going to see Jardin and his Loroi entourage meeting with the refuel vehicle any time soon then? That would have been interesting, though I'd assume a Loroi transport would reach TCA space much faster. What with FTL being the fast part, an...

Ah, now I know in what size I have to see it (hadn't seen the first pic on the previous page when you posted it). I first thought of lots of oversized weapons, but if its a rather smallish hull... 97 metres. It's a corvette - in fact, it would be the smallest Terran military spacecraft, barring shu...

Looks like a cross between a Terran cruiser and an Umiak gunboat. ;) Heh, I did notice the similarity, the sort of hammer-head shape. No windows? I would expect observation platforms (and windows in general) to be crew comfort features rather than practical ones. The view when orbiting a planet is ...

Thanks Arioch. It clears up a few misconceptions I had, because yeah, I was basing my thoughts on the Naam battle. I must return to my dark corner and think up others things the Terrans could do.

Well, okay. I just thought it'd be nice if humanity could have something more action-based to do. If I'm wrong then I'm wrong, so I'll back down on this. It likely wouldn't affect the main characters anyway besides news reports from the front - or, since Jardin is now an ambassador, they'd presumabl...

Hi RedDwarfIV! Hey. The Problem I see here is that the human ships are too slow to keep up with the Loroi fleet. The advantage the Loroi have over their Umiak Enemies is their superior maneuverability and long range weapons. If they would really use human made and designed PD-Ships, they would loos...

On the matter of tech transfers, people here always say 'the Loroi need to give this or that' in order to have the Terrans be useful. But if I read the Insider correctly, most of the advanced tech the Loroi use comes from other races within the Loroi Union. So once Humanity's whereabouts goes round...

Progress:

Hey. I've already posted, but might as well give some kind of introduction. I'm RedDwarfIV, I'm from Britain, I'm interested in sci-fi [especially hard sci-fi], and I do drawing. I refer to my drawings as 'advanced doodles' rather than 'art' because it reminds me that I need to improve. I play on St...

Since FPD ships are deployed from battlecarriers, the Loroi would only need to supply drives for those. FPD ships don't go far from their carrier, because of fuel constraints. The FPD ships don't need to keep up with the fleet, just be placed between the LU and UE fleets, where the missiles will be....

Ah, cool.

Does it have wings?

Could the technology used for Mjolnir be made smaller? Or is the Mjolnir as large as it is because anything smaller wouldn't have the power to cause damage to an enemy spacecraft? I noted that it was said that a destroyer-sized Mjolnir carrier would be unable to use its engines for a period of time ...

Crimson, that's a nice ship. Not many turrets though, and unless it's black for marginal stealth, it could do with some colour.

Can you try uploading it to Imgur or Postimg? It's 404ing for me so I can't see it.

Very nice work man! Thanks. This is only the second time I've done pencil-like drawing on my tablet. I may be using transparent grey a lot more in future. I decided to draw this rather than build it on Starmade because it's a lot faster to draw it. The only problem is that I have a very poor sense ...

Drew this in two hours. I'm planning to colour it.
