Awesome new page Arioch. Had to disappear for a while; joys of work and whatnot. Glad to see a largely unexpected outcome to the whole "immediate rendezvous" scenario with the relay station, all the way up to the current page. Very pragmatic, if grim, decision by Talon. Out of curiosity, how much ti...

Arioch, excellent as per usual. I’m waiting with baited breath to see how this engagement plays out. We may not see it from Jardin’s POV, but we’ll definitely be hearing about it down the road.

"That simplifies our problem." - Col.

I thought pretty much every Umiak ship was unique, with a few commonly used templates? That doesn't mean that there wouldn't be recognizable patterns. For a less extreme example, my understanding is that every Nimitz-class carrier is different, there was several years between each one getting launc...

I am not a mod, nor do I intend to pretend to be one; I do however think that this discussion, robust and interesting as it has been thus far, should probably transition to a separate thread, as the original intent has been lost in the organic development of the subject. Cheers on the disagreement; ...

Is this something they would do with the human corpses recovered from the bellarmine to figure out their natural resistance as a matter of course, or would they consider that a diplomatic faux pas? UNABLE TO COMPUTE AVAILABLE DATA INSUFFICIENT The plot thickens! Jardin is going to be in the wrong p...

Speaking of Fireblade, would it not be interesting if it is SHE who are the Outsider rather then Alex (or maybe they both are). Fireblade, Beryl, Talon and Alex all have clear claims on the title for different reasons. Valid. It makes the title all the more fitting. That said, I vaguely recall some...

hi hi In any series where you have lots of different writers, you can end up with lots of different levels of quality. The insider page on weapon profiles has some good info on torpedo acceleration and endurance. Thanks for the link icekatz. I’m diving back into the Insider topics now that I’ve ded...

Thanks. I think too many writers take the lazy road of using stupid characters to generate conflict or drama, and it's especially egregious when the characters are supposed to be members of a "best of the best" organization (like NASA or, y'know, Starfleet), and yet they act like unprofessional mor...

C'mon guys... it's not like they are anywhere near an intimate setting - even for a Loroi! They are in the middle of a shuttle, with two pilots, two guards and a... scary person, about to do some really hairy maneuvers. Take some cold showers. Sheesh. CJSF I’m inclined to agree. There’s certainly a...

Regarding the jump diagram posted previously, specifically with the depiction of a gas giant interfering with what I suppose you could call “optimal glidepath” for a hyperspace transient craft’s reentry vector, does this mean that star systems where gas giants exist create a sort of natural defensiv...

Arioch, I may not be picking up on it as much as I ought to, but is there some degree of pensiveness, or even a little trepidation in Beryl’s question to Jardin? I have to believe that, despite the fact that he is a literal alien of almost unknowable qualities beyond what she can directly observe, w...

I was unsure where to put this question, but do any of y’all listen to anything specific in setting the tone or scene of the story? Arioch, is there anything, be it a specific artist, composer, or even a broad genre that you use to help get in the creative mode needed when creating pages? I find mys...

I realize in rereading my message that I omitted the part where I had meant to say “Warhammer 40K unit profiles.” I actually know very little about GURPS; my mistake! Ah, when you said "that game" I thought you meant GURPS. As with all things Umiak, there is significant variety among the Hardtroops...

I was catching up on backstory and setting, and now all I can think of are Umiak analogues of Adeptus Mechanicus Kataphron Battle Servitors from Warhammer 40K. Arioch, I noticed GURPS features fairly regularly as a method of cross-comparison, have you ever entertained what kind of unit profile vari...

How much modification can a Umiak withstand? Are we talking ocular implants, prosthetic arms, maybe a built-in weapon, or Borg-level of modification, where the Umiak might as well be a machine with Umiak components grafted on in odd places? The extreme example would be the hardtroopers, most of whi...

Your handle sounds familiar. Were your registered at the old forums? I can’t recall, but it sounds like I was if you recognize me. I really have enjoyed circling back around to this comic, especially now that I have a work background that allows me to possess a greater appreciation for all of the t...

I found this webcomic years ago, and was very taken in by the depth to which you’ve researched and built the world these characters live in, Arioch. It has been over a decade since I last checked this site for updates, and I’m happy to see that things are still coming along! I plan to stick around t...
