Holy shit. The closest equivalent is Adolf Hitler! That's a scary thought. Scary thought, indeed. It was infact the second thing that came to my mind and is a closer fit. Lets hope the Loroi emperor is not a megalomanic, drug addicted, evil person. But that would be an interesting plot twist, don't...

The closest real-world equivalent I can think of off the top of my head would be Napoleon Bonaparte. What comes to my mind would be the third Oberste Heeresleitung (OHL) under Hindenburg and Ludendorff, from late 1916 onwards. Yes, there was still an Emperor (the Kaiser), but he had no real power a...

Okay, back to our "Gedankenspiel" (seriously, I could not find a fitting translation for that one, mind game, maybe?): A single-shot capacitor is not going to remotely be as cheap as one shot's worth of propellant. Thats true. However, a magazine with a build in "super-accumulator battery" wouldn't ...

The Union contains roughly 150 inhabited worlds, of which about 40 have populations of more than 100 million. This includes both Loroi and alien populations.

How many of those 40 worlds have a population that is exceeding 1 billion?
Is it unusual that worlds are as densly populated as earth?

I think you mean "lose"? Yes, stupid typo. Sorry! :oops: If your magazine gets damaged, you duck behind cover/concealment, toss your mag and load a new one. Each mag's battery would probably be capable of fully accelerating something like 25-50% more ammo than it can physically hold, just to ensure...

I'd more expect that it would be part of the magazine. Using a capacitor as "brass" requires separate power for the brass extraction, it also means more moving parts and more things to go wrong. Thats a possibility, yes. However, if the magazine gets damaged, you would use a lot of shots. Using cap...

I feel safe in saying that by the 2160s, even humanity almost certainly have effective accumulators which can suffice as small arms railgun power supplies. Remember, they have accumulators that can store enough juice for a hyperspace jump, after all. I could imagine that they use ammunition made of...

Hmmmm... this is odd? Thank you for the spread sheet but for some reason it will only open in protected mode and will not allow me to save the modified sheets? Which is weird cause I have many prexisiting Excel sheet files that open and save perfectly fine. Any advice? In my Office 2013 it showed m...

Very, very good!

Just some minor nitpicking:

I just saw this... Lance of light, so bright, spear through Bellarmine's aft section. It blew - antimatter is... Pretty damn vigorous stuff.

Wasn't the Bell powered by fusionfuel?

A nice continuation of the RP!
Looking forward to the next part.

Read an interessting article about the so called "Em-Drive". Unfortunatelly it was in German.
Nevertheless, the paper it was based on, can be found here: Link
I guess someone here might find it interessting.

A google translated version of the German article I mentioned: Link

Sorry guys, but I have to announce that the next part might take a while thanks to some unforeseen events.
Thats especially annoying because next chapter its going to get interessting. Try to keep this break as short as possible.

Wow! Finally some good news today!

Thanks!
I added a few lines here and there. Also added your idea.
Should be a better read now.

Sweforce, I like your idea and have to admit that I hand't thought about that possibility.
It would also fit rather well in the story, so I might change a few things or add that to the next (Loroi) chapter. I hope you won't mind.

So, time for the next part. I hope you like it. Made a few changes and added a few lines. Thanks Sweforce for your input! :) ------------------------------------ Chapter 17: Shy Mizol Lennai Daza was not alarmed that the humans had a surface vessel nearby and not a spaceship. That showed her a lot o...

Hm... The next questions might sound a bit stupid, sorry in advance. Do Loroi collect historical items that are not of Soia origin, especially of their own? Or are those things considered disposable? Do they show such items in museums or public spaces for everyone to see, or are they keept in some L...

Yes, things are rolling again. Already working on chapter 17 and about 1/3 should be done.

So, finally its done. Took ages to write, rewrite, delete and write again. I am still not happy with it, but I don't want to keep you waiting any longer. Edit: Added a few lines. ------------------------------------------- Chaper 16: Observations After a while, Heinemann could see them coming out of...

Ah, crap... There goes my weekend again...
