I vote for our dear yellow chittinous freind. MAke that a umiak female!

So you agree Lroi are biologicly superior in every way? And the only advantage we have is cultural and the Loroi CAN adopt it (even if it takes time)? I did not say that Loroi are biologically superior in every way, and such statements are manifestly untrue. Loroi do not receive racial bonuses to s...

Overall, this means I think the Loroi can no more adopt our cultural model successfully than we can theirs, in the short term at least; but this is because of a tangled net of complicated social and cultural matters rather than because of some natural mental superiority or inferiority. So you agree...

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 going to be quite spectacular. You just need to make sure any such viewing areas are outside the armor, and the access points need to be reinforce...

So..in other words, Loroi are superior to us dumb monkies in every way, except culturally (and even that is a temporary condition)? Well, I really don't know what to say. You say it doesn't make sense humans have any natural advantage, but the insider implies our culture is only PART of what makes u...

@Solemn Re: The Loroi Option The Loroi may not not require total control of all spacefaring, but they really seem to require such of actual warships In regards to the Loroi: In the case of the Loroi Alliance, only the Loroi, Historians and Nissek maintain separate military fleets, and the other Uni...

Amazing post Lolemn. Great job. But permit me 2 short comments: 1) "Now the Loroi, on the other hand, are not an open society […] The drawback, however, is that much information tends to stay compartmentalized within each local intellectual community, and rarely jumps the geographical and social bou...

No.

Jardin is a billion times cooler than Goku anyway.

Skyrim is awesome.

The mod kit isn't even out yet and there's already tons and tons of mods of all kinds.

Also, magic is for pussies. Real men kill people by shouting.

FUS RO DAH!

Looks like Alex is actually a TACTICAL GENIUS

insert his picture here:

We are? Yes, we are. Such a project would be obvious to today's sensors via disturbances in magnetic and gravitational fields, thermal and gas emissions, seismic activity, not to mention the piles of removed earth and stone and the supply lines of equipment and supplies. Access tunnels and the stru...

Why not? They are designed to endure vaccum and battle conditions.
I don't think a speceship would leak if submerged.

Heck, you could hide a whole fleet of warships beneath the sands of the sahara desert, and the Umiak would never know. Forget it. Even our todays primitive satellites are able to detect tiny anomalies. Imagine what the Umiak are able to. We are? We don't know 90% of the ocean. We sure as hell don't...

Which clearly means that planet-side, you can hide a lot of things. No, it means that if you keep attacking Umiak targets on your Umiak-occupied planet, they'll eventually get fed up and blow you up. And you can't sucesfully lead a large-scale resistance without being able to hide and organize. Erg...

Well, apparenly resistance against Umiak is very much possible - didn't the Loroi inflict so much loses on the Umiak that they bombed the planet? Which clearly means that planet-side, you can hide a lot of things. Now, I don't recall reading in the Insider that Umiak do not allow any space-faring ca...

trashman: to be honest, the umiak would probably send their junior counter intelligence guys over to our space for PRACTICE against the pathetically stupid apes that somehow think that they can win a insurgency campaign against them....and if the fore mentioned apes become too successful to make it...

The whole point is that the choice SHOULDN'T be simple. We know Alex will stick with the Loroi - after all, what Umiak characters have been shown so far? Do they have their own fan art? GRUPS tables? Loroi are both more visually appealing and have more presence, so it's 99,99% sure they will be the ...

We'd be operating under restrictions, but the Umiak don't have to know everything we're up to. Neither can they. Wouldn´t bet on that one. They know ever crevice of our planet better than us? They can read minnds? no? Then they can't. Unless they shadow every human on the planet..which would requir...

As "slaves" to a technologicly superior race, humantiy would quickly close the techonological gap (as we we would be abel to acess and study that technology). Thet alone would put us on a more equal footing and give a chance to break free when the the master race falls into weakenss (and it WILL, s...
