Re: Page 85

If we consider the Loroi universe and its races, its highly likely humans will have technogly that is in part superior to the Loroi and Umiak. Disputable. It´s simply the old "avoid traces"-thingy. The only things valuable for the loroi are our resources (metal rich planet) they do not know about y...

Taben is a oceanic loroi world. See insider.

Re: Page 85

don't think so , I think the Loroi will be quite thorough in their distruction of the Bell even if they were in a hurry. But even this leaves evidence behind. I´m pretty sure the Umiak can analyze that there´s something strange going on. Mixing up the debris with Loroilitter would make a terran shi...

Re: Page 85

So that´ll be Hells Bells for the Bell.
Sadly there´s no time to tow Thunderbolt near to the wreckage and blow it up so that the remains would mix.
I wonder if the Umiak will return to explore Bell´s leftovers.

But she doesn´t look too happy as well.

Nope. ;)
Alex is small for a human male.
He may be a tick taller than a male loroi, though.

Re: Page 84

The fact that the Umiak have their engines within the body of the ship suggests that a) the Umiak reactors are better shielded, which follows to a degree with ships that have heavier armor and more extensive compartmentalization, and/or b) the Umiak just don't care as much about long-term health ef...

As i understood it, Bell had "only" chemical propulsion. 5000 Tons is IMHO a bit much antimatter/nuclear fuel for a small scout vessel.

Heh. I remember the old thread on this years ago. I also looked up my name back then, and it means "strong shield of the mountain(s)".

As the insider article about the war states, the war has been going badly for the loroi with no end in sight. the only clear advantage is fighting near home systems and their far-seeing ability ( which has not worked now , IE the other lost fleets, and is a game changer). Farseeing didn´t work only...

Re: page 83

That's not strictly true. During the first stages of the war (~1914) it was very much a fluid conflict of maneuver. Only when the German advance became stalled did the massive trench warfare begin. Yes, and that´s what they concluded from Verdun - Fortification. Big mistake. Yes, and in Belgium the...

but it wasn't even that, if they just covered say 30% of their full border (like all of their border with Germany, and Belgium plus some).

I could make the counterpoint. How STUPID do you have to be as a commander to see an enemy entrenching only 75% of their border with you with huge guns and emplacements to prevent your assault and then assault there when all you need to do to avoid it is roll through Belgium. They considered it a g...
