The main problem with 'tricking' them to make it happen, is not if it can be done, which it can, but how to contain the ones we are tricking to do the job properly, and what ecosystem damage will we do if they get out while we are using it? Splicing genetics is becoming easier and easier with every ...

my understanding from the WH40k universe is this: their ships are SLOW and don't accelerate very fast at all, however they happily take shortcuts through the alternative dimension the warp, in order to achieve viable FTL travel. Outsider ships are self confessed to pull 30 g and have an effective we...

'Captain' The use of that word implies something and that is that it probably isn't Beryl who he'd have likely already informed he preferred that she use his name when speaking to him as he is unfamiliar with being called a Captain. Such things tend to crop up quickly. As for survivors guilt, surely...

EVERYONE agrees algae seem a really great alternative, yet no one globally has ever made an economic way to turn algae into fuel. Why? Because of low energy density and high water content. By the time you dry them out you've used 90% of the energy profit you could get out of it, and the last 10% isn...

On Loroi: I get the feeling the fire-power of the wave loom would consume WH ships like fire does cardboard scraps, and their plasma focus? probably cut through their armour like tissue paper, but run out of steam before it got all the way through, but how exactly would I know? on Borg: Borg = Xenos...

Regarding my comment before of 'how long' I meant and was trying to imply in terms of pages, for all I know the entire of chapter 2 could be longer than chapter 1 and all in flashbacks so we get to understand our hero :P And regarding tempting fate by discussing the number/frequency... last time I d...

If humans could achieve tactical jumping, they'd have the equivalent of a super weapon. After all, what's to stop you throwing out NUKES for close in bombardment? What is there to stop you hurling neutron bombs at planets to erase the living population, and the soldiers who guard it? In fact it woul...

hmm, in my opinion to find the best place IN the world, we'd need to forget about countries and start digging deeper (pun intended) I happen to know of a little known cave system that is curiously enough fed by a hot water spring that flows down into a natural pool that is about the right temperatur...

I see that the tradition of fluffy and unusual dress uniforms has returned in the future, can you imagine how long they spend starching those ties to get them to sit correctly like that? I know fashions change but those uniforms always amuse ^_^ It does seem a little strange that females have the sa...

Regarding roads as heat sources: #1 they only get hot in serious sunlight, thus rendering them useless in the winter pretty much anywhere that isn't Australia, Vegas or Africa. #2 While they get hot they are attached to a rather large source of cooling, known as the ground, and there is no reasonabl...

to check their results, i want to see their formulas, the basis of those formulas and the assumptions those calculations each hold. If there are even a small number of assumptions held within their formulas then we could easily hold such a tiny discrepancy within those gaps. The easiest solution is ...

you COULD go one better, and use electrolysis tiles, which split water into hydrogen and oxygen, to be stored in tanks out back for all your balloon and 'high on life' needs.... also hydrogen fuel cell cars and home-made oxyacetylene explosive balloons <_< But TBH the problem with photovoltaic is th...

problem is there is only a finite batch of concept art, and Loroi do look rather similar. It would require more work creating enough variety in the pictures to result in a functional script, and any spammer who wants to get in can program a tool to do a picture comparison :( Using the text of the co...

neutral particals CAN be deflected... all you have to do is INDUCE (read: not actually as easy as it might sound after all, but still possible) a charge on the neutron, it only has to be momentary, and if it 'occilates' between change forms even easier. After all: Oxygen is neutral as a molecule, bu...

I GOT IT! Do script which uses questions written into pictures (with all the squiggles and such to confuse the heck out of bots, or even randomised characters surrounding the question), asking us to use words from the comics themselves :P Thus: no new needed drawings or Comic delaying additional wor...

What really makes me curious is the materials we humans choose to construct our starships in this modern era. Titanium is a expensive and small resource even with the entire surface of the earth on hand, so unless they develop means to identify deposits deep below the surface i don't believe the ent...

I gotta ask, does Arioch have a copy of that shipyard in colour or was it made in black and white? Because seeing a colour copy of the terran docks would be awesome on the scale of 25 out of ten The panel has a blue filter over it, but the underlying shading is just grayscale. Good lord what was i ...

i suppose someone has to stop and explain what the WH40k wiki says about tech to explain the 'suppression' of advanced technologies. First off: the technology of the era of the 40K universe is to a similar level to USB music players: thus if a normal person examines how it works they would not have ...

The rest of the pictures might be nice to have a colour copy as well, but that shipyard fascinates me O_O

I keep thinking that the reason that the manoeuvres in the dust-cloud are difficult to anticipate their size and strength is due to the latest class of fleet being more and more automated rather than relying upon sentients. You do not need a sentient to identify or prioritise target acquisition, a t...
