Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
I do like the basic design although is it safe to have a blade just hanging like that. I can imagine getting stabbed if you trip or having it fly in your face during some combat maneuvers. Also, I'm pretty sure that's a death stare. I would imagine she expects to be wearing her helmet if she has to...

Re: WIP Discussion (Part 1!)
Good you quoted the post over, again, so it's top of the page. Nilnol? Can't find that term anywhere.... If it's Loroi, then it just a transliteration into Roman letters. ;) That dagger looks awful for the work of cutting.. It just looks like it is NOT intended to enter the skin of the opponent. We...

Re: What to Do with Jardin (Fan Fic)
I have an update for you. Sort of! There's no new content... Instead, I've started rewriting the old stuff, reformatting it for Google docs, which are much more comfortable for me to write in. I started by rewriting saint of m's vignettes, to hopefully match the tone of my later entries, without cha...

Re: What is the "Well of Souls Stellar Remnant"
How wide an area?
Would another 1436 event bring the Umiak-Loroi war to an inconclusive end/decades-long stalemate by reason of making hyperspace travel so unreliable that simply maintaining a stellar empire is a struggle, and prosecuting warfare effectively impossible?

Re: Master of Orion
hi hi I'm a little bit astonished by the materials used, or perhaps the one single material that appears to be used. To my knowledge, the new Master of Orion was made by a reasonably big studio. It's kind of strange that the outfits, props, and the skin textures all look like they're made from the ...

Re: The "Real Aerospace" Thread
Might as well go for a modernized version that had built-in VTOL. Run driveshafts into the fuselage from the engine pods, and just fill as much of the internal space as you can get away with with some of those fans they developed for the F-35, then hang some thrust-vectoring vanes wherever the air ...

Re: The "Real Aerospace" Thread
Nobody wants the A-10 or anything like it. This just isn't true, Arioch. The Army didn't want it because they prefer helicopters to fixed-wing aircraft. This is not true, Arioch. This is extremely untrue. The Army fucking love the A-10. Ask any groundpounder which he'd rather have doing close-air s...

Re: The "Real Aerospace" Thread
You can't just weld an arresting hook onto an aircraft; you'd have to modify the A-10 for carrier operations, which would not be trivial. I did say I was oversimplifying a bit - but with an A-10, not by much. It's a tough, overengineered, durable, overengineered-again tough sunofabitch, literally t...

Re: The "Real Aerospace" Thread
But A-10's don't fly off of carriers, so we'd be talking about jump jets or Apaches instead, which are even more expensive and vulnerable. The only things you need to fly A-10s off carriers is to weld on an arresting hook and convince naval aviators to fly them. They wouldn't even need a catapult l...

hi hi I know people were talking about the Zumwalt at length in another thread, so I think someone around here will find this interesting. Also possibly has general aerospace implications, in terms of other mass driver ideas out there. USS Zumwalt can't fire its guns because the ammo is too expensi...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
That's Spiral, who is a native of Maia. She's wearing an outfit that is typical of a juvenile warrior; presumably this was some time during her training on Maia. Huh. I just figured it was some random civilian who happened to have hair that wasn't entirely unfamiliar. I mean, I know a comic's a vis...

Arioch, strange question: http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/images/v_maia_misesa.png Do you happen to have a story for this lady? For some reason, I can't shake the feeling that just offscreen, on the other side of the "camera," is the Maian equivalent of a pickup truck with someone close to Ms. Fie...

I want to state for the record that I didn't eat any tacos last Thursday. Nor did I, and I'll provide the log: For breakfast, I had muesli and coffee-flavored greek yogurt; Lunch was mixed fruit, grilled chicken, and Florentine chicken soup; Dinner was a slab of breaded parmesan chicken and a tiny ...
