Spiral made a show of getting out of her exosuit, but as it gets cold, she may well want to get back in. :lol:

Re: KSP 1.0

hi hi Since I don't use any kind of automated navigation mods (or any mods, actually) I usually have to over-engineer my DeltaV budgets to account for imperfect ascent profiles and ejection burns. But this time around, I apparently did pretty good, because the Kerbin to Eve stage that I had planned ...

Re: How can the Loroi win?

hi hi

Thinks certainly do look bleak for the Loroi. With their farseers no longer as reliable, they really need to bring the war to a decisive conclusion. Or at very least, they can't go back to their defensive war of attrition again, they need something else.

Re: KSP 1.0

hi hi With the news that KSP 2 is coming , I did decide to break down and finish the last challenges left in the base game. Getting to Eeloo, and landing a Kerbal on Eve and returning them home again. Here's my Eeloo rover going around, looking for the best place to set up the refinery. http://knhau...

Maybe it's time to separate the discussion on racism and immigration to another topic so it can more easily be skipped.

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

hi hi I think this is a perfect time to point out the classic, textbook example of authoritarian propaganda that's increasingly at work in the world. First, create a crisis. Second, blame someone else for it. Third, profit. Works all the gorram time. Even though, statistically, immigration into the ...

hi hi I suppose some of it comes down to whether people are merely cogs in the machine to be expended and discarded as needed, or if they have any inherent value as an end in their own right. (It's ironic that anti-immigrant sentiment seems to hold that the immigrants are taking all the jobs, and th...

1st world countries aren't worried about the ethnic violence because they've got a long history of that too. It's just another day in the life of the human race.

You might be surprised at how much an influence peoples' environment has on their behavior.

Re: Page 161: It is called a Diral-Seii

hi hi

If I recall correctly, we were told that the food they gave Alex was just parts of their standard rations which they thought might be compatible.

I do expect that they would have extensive data on his entire body, inside and out, well before he woke up.

I hadn't considered it until you mentioned it, but perhaps Tempo has been subtly trying to probe Alex's mind every single moment that she's been near him, including right now, and is starting to get frustrated.

If they go Epic exclusive, I can wait until the exclusive period ends. By then, I'll have a better idea about whether or not it captures the spirit of the original.

Re: Page 161: It is called a Diral-Seii

hi hi If she's one of the last of her Diral , the totem doesn't seem very potent. Considering the Loroi's views on luck, that's only really true if the current holder isn't the first one to die. If the totem holder is able to save the others of the band from all the bad luck, then I guess it's worki...

Re: Page 161: It is called a Diral-Seii

hi hi What reason was there to take a blade out of a knife instead of keeping a knife for use? Does the military have limits issued on carrying weapons? I don't know if there are any limits on carrying weapons. Many of the Loroi on ship were seen carrying blasters, and Fireblade is a deadly weapon i...

But Beryl did go over the term blade before, with reference to Fireblade's name, and Alex didn't ask what it meant the...

Tempo: "Don't let him know that an enemy ship is headed right for us, while the others have him distracted, you go and set up the self-destruct charges where he can't see them." :P

Re: Page 160: Hold this

hi hi I guess I'm not sure what the distinction you're trying to make is. Pretty much any fuel used by a space faring civilization is going to be processed in some way. Even if someone is scooping hydrogen from a gas giant to fuse, they'd need to refine it. I can only speak for myself and wouldn't w...
