What's the top row, second from the right? The one with the RxS wave-loom.

Ugh, forgot about that section. Thanks!

It does! I knew about the shield prongs being thicker for ships with better defense, but even if I didn't the ship shapes communicate very effectively. Thin vessels like the Vortex and the battle/war cruisers look fast and aggressive while "thicc" vessels like the Greatsword look slow and durable. T...

Thanks, this has been super helpful! - And as a side note, I was puzzling over why the Blind Guardian had a disc-like design instead of the usual Loroi forked delta shape, when I realized that the Blind Guardian's forward section is actually similar to the Cataclysm and the Skymaster. Cataclysm: htt...

It looks like those are from the original Outsider tabletop rules? I actually dug them up but didn't look too close since I believe you mentioned that the weapons had since been reworked so it wasn't very accurate. I was originally basing my estimates off this post: What's with the screens designati...

If it would be fun or useful for you to do that would be great, but don't put yourself to any trouble. I'm mostly focused large-scale at the moment, so whether the Tinza flagship has four plasma turrets or six is unlikely to matter much, and I can always make it up based on the ships in the Insider....

Damn, Beryl wasn't kidding when she said SG51's loss ratio wasn't typical. They managed to get 6:1 despite being worn down by earlier battles and getting locked into a static defense (made worse by the fact that they're a mobile strike group not a heavy battle group). Though I suspect a major reason...

Some questions about the Tinza Fleet, if you are comfortable revealing it. First, what is it's flagship? The Seren, Maiad, and Tellai Fleets each have a Cataclysm class as their flagship, but that implies the Tinza Fleet has something else. Are Strike Group 51 and the two unnamed groups that were am...

Long time this trade doesn't give signs of life. To may be continued or declared a break? http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Thread_Necromancy_3038.jpg :lol: Jokes aside Tamri, for future reference most forums generally frown on people posting to topics that have been dormant for too long...

Certainly different of what I have in mind and I have to say that it does touch the Cthulhu level. I figured the stories would end up being quite different. That was sort of the point, after all. The Pale Horse is your answer to the "Outsider-verse Human/Cthulhu" question. Sufficiently Advanced was...

Sufficiently Advanced, Part 4 “Target’s advance has halted just under one light second away,” Beryl reported, trying to make sense of the strange signals they were getting. “It appears to be-” Her vision went blue and she tasted blood as a horrible hum began vibrating its way through her skull. The...

I think that you are looking into this from too much of a scientific angle. AoT will probably explain everything via alchemy with a certain degree of randomness; the technological time period more closely resembles early 1700 in regards to the primitive looking muskets, general steel working and th...

As Arioch hath bestowed his mighty blessing, I shall answer your original post: It's amateur scifi gibberish. The Titans violate the Square-Cube Law, the Law of Conservation of Matter, and the Law of Conservation of Energy. The Square-Cube Law states that the bigger something is, the more of its str...

:o :lol: Since we've never actually seen the Wave-Loom get used I had to guess for its activation sequence, so its operation is likely quite different than what Arioch had in mind. Using it as a PD weapon is also probably not all that realistic, since the torpedoes likely wouldn't ever clump enough...

Sufficiently Advanced, Part 3 “ Thunderbolt reports loss of main power, recovery expectancy zero. Request permission to evacuate and resign vessel.” “Request approved,” Stillstorm answered heavily, staring at the drifting wreckage that had once been Winter Tide. No matter how many ships she saw gut...

Oh god, that shit is priceless. Oh please please please have Alex go full Q on their blue asses. Have him take away Fireblade's psychokinesis and give it to Shoe Girl (Cloud). Have him start giving them random hair colors with stripes, polka dots, plaid, the works. Sky's the limit here baby, let's ...

Sufficiently Advanced, Part 2 “You let it run loose?” asked Stillstorm, her mind a tempest of barely contained fury. “With respect, Lashret, there was little else we could do,” explained Beryl respectfully. Beside her, Fireblade nodded in agreement. “As has already been proven, our weapons can do l...

The Loroi recoil in fear as they sense Alex create a psionic life-form from a "formula", to act as an (often bizarre, and possibly even random) intermediary? There's also futile struggles, and Pyrrhic delays (not victories, most of the time), and if you ever defeat Nyarlathotep then Azathoth still ...

Yes, the ants aren't the target, nor can they even conceive of what the beings so far above them are actually doing. But, in the vein of the HumansAreCthulhu trope, the story isn't really about the humans, much as it is that many of Lovecraft's stories aren't necessarily directly about the various ...

Well, that could be an interesting story. The species of the Local Bubble suddenly find themselves in the middle of a war they can't see, but is wreaking utter havoc upon them. Maybe you could do a set of brief snippets from their perspective as they witness their all-too-likely end? Wouldn't be a ...
