Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)

hi hi For humans, the norm is that the female is 5 inches shorter than the male. For Loroi it seems that the female is an as-of-yet unstated height taller on average. However, I don't think Loroi have the same kind of pairing rituals that we do, so physical appearance might not factor into the equat...

Aloha! It is good to see new and old faces alike. :)

Re: [RP] Operation: Deep Strike (IC)

((hi hi)) The local star -itself a brilliant dot the size of a penny- casts a dim orange light on the ship's hull. From the outside the DeSoto's condition is that much more tangible than the cold numbers and graphs of the damage control readouts. The surface of the ship shows slight but visible sign...

Re: TRON Tech and How It Would Effect Civilization

hi hi Direct quote from TRON 1.0 While the laser is dismantling the molecular structure of the object, the computer maps out a holographic model of it. The molecules themselves are suspended in the laser beam. Then the computer reads the model back out, the molecules go back into place. Technobabble...

Re: TRON Tech and How It Would Effect Civilization

hi hi I have yet to see the new TRON (though it is on my list), but I seem to recall that in the original they didn't actually do any matter conversion. They broke down Flynn and suspended his atoms while he was in the virtual world and then put them back together again, albeit in a slightly differe...

Re: Nonlinear Materials

hi hi

I wonder how well those materials stand up to heat. One thing's for sure, they'd make for some awesome sunglasses. :P

Eclipse Phase is pretty awesome, though I think this would be more useful in Shadowrun for dealing with mages.

If you look at the schematic of the Tempest, you'll see that a lot of the fuel is stored in the pylons that connect the engine to the primary hull.

Re: [RP] Operation: Deep Strike (OOC)

hi hi

Well, I suppose if Count Casimir doesn't feel like getting involved right yet, I suppose Lillasoni could have suffered a concussion for now or something. That way, she could jump in again later if need be.

Re: Page 84

hi hi

Well, the Bellarmine certainly wasn't using conventional chemical rockets as we know them today. She's got way too much ∂V for that. Maybe it was a chemical drive enhanced by small amounts of plot-onium? :P

(Also, thanks for the heads up Arioch.)

Re: Page 84

hi hi I have to wonder what kinds of radiation treatments the Loroi have, and indeed their level of medical tech in general. They seemed to be able to heal an alien that they'd never seen before anyway. I mention this because if there is anyone still alive on the Winter Tide, as Voitan suggests, the...

Re: [RP] Operation: Deep Strike (IC)

((hi hi)) Captain MacRae steps out into the hallway focused on his destination, though it is only a few feet from the bridge to the conference room. The door slides open effortlessly to an unoccupied room, furnished with little else but a long table and a video screen on the far wall. The captain si...

(I don't know if she has a name, but if not, I'm calling her dellar .) Her captain refused to give up, but judg...

Re: [RP] Operation: Deep Strike (OOC)

hi hi

Its ok sunphoenix, we can just roll with it. This is just the introduction segment anyway, where people get to know each other and get a feel for the setting.

There's not much need for a sensor roll unless there is something specific you are trying to find.
