I would also wonder how decentralized the nervous system is. You know how some bugs can keep moving around even after they get smashed of their head bitten off? I can see the Umiak doing something similar (I am aware they are closer to mammals but they have a bug look).

Re: Page 226: Whirrrrr CRACK
You have a good point- where are the vital organs on that thing? Inside the armored body obviously. Barring access, I'd try severing the semi-flexible 'neck', or as many of the 'eyes' as quickly as possible, and hoping there isn't a sort of infrared or motion detector on the main body that can't be...

He'd have to recognise a weak point, aim for it, and take the shot all while an enemy he only just encountered is moving toward him. I flinch and panic fire in that situation playing video games, never mind a real ...

Re: Page: 225 - Krak, KRAK!! WHOKK!!!
As has been established with the Umiak ship designs.. I expect each hard trooper is custom crafted following the local Administration 'pattern' plan based upon local resources and tactical needs. There is no 'uniform' design by the Umiak... merely performance standards that are to be met for satisf...

Re: Page 224: Optimistic Way Of Looking At Things
A small arms blaster would be designed to be fired in atmosphere, so I don't see that being a problem. Oxygen accelerates combustion but it doesn't itself burn. The most obvious danger in using higher power settings on a blaster is the risk of missing your intended target and having the shot go thr...

Re: Page 224: Optimistic Way Of Looking At Things
The hard troops are on the outside of the ship and coming inside. Holy shit, those guys are absolute units. I wonder why the bugs don't fire torpedoes loaded with them at the Loroi ships and capture the vessels if they can handle the vacuum of space. I wonder do the Hardtroops pull their weight when...

I am not sure the Umaki would be so stupid as to open up with weapons in a magazine.

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path
I'm not sure using earth to flank the bugs would be wise as it would kind of go well out of the Lorois way to get their then go at the umaki home worlds.

Re: Page 220: Clearing the Path
Yeah... humanity does not outnumber the Loroi. Earth has a larger population than any of the Loroi worlds, but the Loroi have a lot more worlds. Beryl appears to be left-handed. I seem to recall that Loroi were more likely to be left-handed (I think there was something about it in the Loroi discuss...

Damn fire blade and others liker her would be great at pest control. No need for harsh chemicals we psychically crush all the bugs.
