Re: Chapter 2 cover

Hmm, wonder if they ever found something like kindles or data pads, or just anything that might have music, songs, recreational material on for Alex, and something for him to keep his diary in.. Some crew member's sordid stash of digitized elf.. . Let's just hope/assume personal materials were thor...

Re: Page 90

It's not just acceleration but also relative velocity, there's no medium involved, and time dilation isn't an issue of perception. Two people can take different paths through spacetime and meet again after experiencing different amounts of time. This I understand. What I never understood is that "s...

Re: Stillstorm laughed...

It would be recognisable, regardless of the size it is! The 'Bell was holding off (hiding) from the conflict going on in the system, so wouldn't have a vector that could be extrapolated. The Bell wasn't stationary when it was destroyed...so the wreckage would continue to drift and can thus be backt...

Re: Stillstorm laughed...

"odd" doesn't mean non-umiak. It means odd to Stillstorm. And in what context? Odd tactical patterns? Odd shell marking patterns? Odd speach patterns? she didn't specify.

Hence why why cannot really say that Kliktik is odd for an umiak, as we have nothing to compare him to.

Re: Stillstorm laughed...

That Stillstorm recognizes him hardly make him unique...

Is there any confirmation that Kliktiks behavior is not common for a Umiak?

We seen Fireblade, Beryl, Temp and Stillstorm from the Loroi... we only seen one Umiak so far. So what is out of ordinary/uncommon here?

Re: Uncanny resemblance.

political parties are just as much a problem of democracy as anything else...favors, below-the-table deals and stuff like that. Honestly, I'd prefer if it punishement for abusing the office (any high or important political position) is a a public execution, not this "slap on a wrist" BS... Then the ...

Re: Stillstorm laughed...

Given the number of ships Kliktik has at his disposal (ultra-heavies!!!!) the Loroi really don't stand a chance in this battle. And they know it... The Umiak can't stop them from leaving either. So I ask again - what information did the Umiak gain from this? And what did Loroi get? What did they hop...

Meh...I tend to partially disagree with that.


I recommend everyone watch Legend of Galactic Heroes.... a 110 episode documentary on politics and government systems.

Re: Stillstorm laughed...

That's precisely my point. Kliktiks actions make sense ONLY if he's telling the truth about the Umiak offensive. Isn't that exactly how you want a bluff to work? You bluff should make sense to you...and not to the enemy. A bluff should basicly be credible, but not redicolous. Acting illogicly and l...

Re: Stillstorm laughed...

And what information did he gain from that conversation? None. He did all the talking. The only one that got information out of this conversation were the Loroi. They found out that a Umiak fleet is bypassing Azimol and that the Umiak now have the tech to prevent farseer detection. What information...

Re: Stillstorm laughed...

That's precisely my point. Kliktiks actions make sense ONLY if he's telling the truth about the Umiak offensive. I have to disagree. From observation I would say that the usual Loroi tactic is not to stand ground and slug it out, more likely it is a tendency to strike and withdraw before taking cas...

Re: Stillstorm laughed...

Yes really. Loroi have better acceleration, but better acceleration is useless if you're standing still while the enemy was already accelerating for a time. He's already built up enough speed that he WILL come into weapons range and rape you. Nope, they´re just drifting . Otherwise you would be rig...

Again...a HUGE gamble on Kliktiks part. He's abandoning a vastly superior tactical position for this. Why? He's in position to wipe out 51st task force, and the famed Stillstorm. In a war of annihilation (at least the Loroi call it so), deliberately sabotaging this opportunity is folly. So WHY? And...
