It is hard to be pirate if every attempt will cost more than typical value of possible loot. You need cut the cost for everything unneeded, like spaceship. Radiomessage: "We have your wife on hostage and we wan't you land on to Nigeria. Also, if you don't follow our order, think what happened to Co...

Point being, bioaugs can hypothetically achieve the same results as pure bionics.

All this talk of artificial limbs just makes me reminded of a bad experience in a recent gaming secession... *shudders* here comes the Manei Domini... Imagine a Human with a ton of strength, runs faster than you, can spit poison, take a bullet and track you down by the sound of your beating heart.....

hi hi From what I understand, the Terran fleet was widely believed to be a waste of money and was in the process of being cut back before the Orgus showed up. The services they did provide were more like ensuring ships didn't deviate from their assigned trajectories, busting smugglers and providing...

"No pirate worth his dust" maybe? Don't Umiak get cybernetically enhanced? As in, these hypothetical pirates might be facing down some really nasty combat cyborgs and maybe even straight up robots modeled after a species whose first reaction to a TCA hailing signal may have been to eradicate the shi...

I'd also take a guess and say many Loroi in the military might find our films wanting for lack of historical setting. "Why are your 'Americans' invading Vietnam again?" "Because the French were losing." "...and the French were..." "I think they had claimed it as part of their empire." "And what adva...

Sorry for not replying earlier; this slipped through the cracks somehow. Outsider does use "Newtonian" physics, internally. Acceleration is built up over time and must be canceled out by acceleration in the opposite direction. However, the way the comic panels are drawn won't always make this expli...

They should have been detected long before entering Naam, as it's sort of in the middle of no-man's (no-xeno's?) land. SG51 (and the other Loroi) haven't just been sitting around in Naam the entire time that the Bellarmine was traversing (laterally) the Steppes. Sure, it's "only" a small amount of ...

What's the smallest you can make a jump drive? The jump field generators aren't that big, but they require enormous amounts of power. To make one work you generally need an powerplant big enough to push a corvette-sized starship, so that's the minimum size for a jump-capable ship. Such things as ju...

nemo: balance and falling techniques are probably the most useful things any martial arts class ever taught, those things save lives(or at least pain injury and indignity) on a regular basis, but it is mostly negative values so no one notices it. and yes, most 'martial arts' have pretty much left t...

And then they see the evolution of Krav Maga.

Tangenitally on topic... I do wonder sometimes how certain Earth sports, martial arts in particular, would be viewed through Loroi eyes. Especially Kendo... especially when the Kiai'ing starts up. Yes, I have a vested interest :P Yeah, I'm wondering myself when the whole aspect of sanzai "conversin...

on 'absolute rest frame' if C truly is a constant, and the fastest possible velocity in a given direction is C, then by definition you HAVE a absolute rest frame, at absolutely zero velocity....but since physics guys keep saying that it's a matter of perspective....can you out accelerate a photon b...

Also have to remember that these causality breaking events don't just happen at relativistic velocities, they're just easier to conceptualize. ALL time is relative to the frame: time at sea level is different from time in Denver because of minute differences in gravity. Time at the equator is diffe...

Ah! sorry, let me explain what i was thinking, the armor on the ship is in standard sized plates with the AUTOcad molds for these back at base, to replace the armor, all they would have to do would be to make some up, ship them out and bolt them on. You'd need a mobile drydock for that, wouldn't yo...

Simply put, from the perspective of both duelists, time for their opponent is moving slower than it is for themselves. Wait, no, that can't be right, from the perspective of someone at a high time dilation, everything else moves faster... doesn't it? No. Leaving out the complexities of GR and gravi...

armor modules

My head is full of gundams.

They've tested time dilation multiple times. It works. Never said it didn't. Lets change the 'tachyon' pistol duel, because, honestly, pistol duels? 'tachyon' pistol duel 'tachyon' 'tachyon' 'tachyon' 'tachyon' Ah, I see what I missed now. However, if both parties are experiencing roughly the same ...

IMPLICATIONS Also, you take Kendo classes? You win. But no, seriously, how the hell do you watch someone travel back in time? My brain is running up against a wall here trying to imagine what negative time looks like. Everybody says, oh well neg time is time travel, but why? Is it just because we ha...
