Well the Loroi waited to be attacked by the Umaki so it looks like waiting for others to do unto you is a bad idea. As opposed to attacking the Hierarchy in it's own territory, where Farseeing of enemy fleets is obscured by planetary populations, the shells are nowhere near as limited in logistical...

Anything to justify screwing over people you dislike?

I meant Stilstorm deciding that Alex must be bound up and tortured. Or Greywind glassing the Tithric. Or the Hierarchy deciding that pre-emptively invading the Union is a good idea. It's seems like a recurring theme. So yes - kinda like that.

I wonder if this story is going to have some allegory alluding to how we humans stress so much on security in order to 'feel' safe and how dangerous that can actually be. nonsense at the border is making ammo even scarcer in Texas. I do feel that someone making quite hasty decisions about what some...

Seems I stand corrected then. Not sure how I missed that. Considering the state of exoplanet discovery today though, if I were Mr. Jardin my first reaction would be: https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/023/967/obiwan.jpg I mean, 200 LY really doesn't seem like that far, and Sol isn't p...

With their tech level, I'd expect smart paints that can dynamically change their hue, through electrochromic or magnetochromic processes. It's something we already have, just not at the level where it could reliably be used plated on military armor. They could have such optical camo hardies for ste...

Now that I think about it, why not trow a flashbang right away? Even if they are in a vacuum and Loroi helmets can adjust to the flash, they would still be momentarily blinded. Enough time for the Umiak cyborgs to storm in and shoot relying on sensors that are unaffected by the flash, like radar. F...

I think that how much this inherent prejudice pervades modern society depends on whether the culture reinforces or diminishes it. The Loroi have many different cultures, so there is no single answer to this question for the Loroi. I would think that the current Union's culture would be a massive fa...

Fireblade's hair WILL NOT BE BOUND!

Ah, but will it consent to getting gently combed?

I'm happy that we haven't heard a death scream yet.

Warriors die without screaming.

This is a piece from the World of Warcraft: Warlords of Draenor soundtrack by Neil Acree.

There a choir part there. That's a foul!

Unless telepathic techniques affect personnel in great distances I don't see how a sacrifice ploy could work since the boarders would also have ship personnel looking through them (I expect hard troop visual sensors to be network capable) For what purpose? My pet theory is that Cloud is to be act a...

Hell a proper barracks can become nasty and infested with all kinds of lice and vermin really quick. Best to nub certain things in the bud before they become a problem so: 'Your haircut is against regulations; drop down and give me twenty then go to the barber and get shaved', It's a spaceship with...

We can still hope that he dropped some good loot. Like notes on how the story concludes so that his assistants can finish it.

Wouldn't it mess with the flow rate if the middle room had a higher gravity? The same way acceleration would. If the artificial gravity counteracts the effects of acceleration with sufficient precision, then there is no issue with it. If it doesn't then the artificial gravity is not your only probl...

The easiest solution to the whole question is everyone having access to efficient tight-beam communication - that way everyone in the same system usually can detect everyone else talking to each other and exchanging telemetry, but can't listen in, whatever the state of encryption and decryption tech...

If we extrapolate from modern technologies then basic audio-visual communiques should be unsafe and easily crackable as they contain far too much data to be properly encrypted. If the shells can do that - then they could just as easily read Stillstorm's hand as she gives orders to her fleet over th...

(No IR or other automatic telescopes on?)

Page 195: "Optics got fried".

Yes. I was thinking how clever Alex has been. Not only has he pumped them for information but by winning the game he has distracted them so they will likely forget he asked or won't think it important. Is this the first time we really see why he was chosen for the mission? I don't think it's some b...

Also, I applaud you, Arioch. I've been reading your comic for ~17 years and bottom left is the first panel that managed to cast raise dead on my pantsyard. You were the chosen one! It was said that you would destroy the coomers, not join them! Bring realism to Outsider, not leave it in wank-stains!...

Why you gotta be mean to Fireblade? She's been through quite enough as it is.

Because she exists for being tenderly bullied by someone universally weaker than her.
