[ All torpedoes are guided; it doesn't matter whether the firing vessel stays close. However, since the torpedoes are used mainly to cover the approach of the heavier vessels, the launching vessels do follow closely behind the torpedoes and gunboats. The launch is timed so that the heavy vessels ar...

Frigates are a different size class, larger than corvettes, but smaller than destroyers. I mean: frigates is an independent class of the ship, or is it just the big gunboats without jump engines? Torpedoes can change course and maneuver at any point during flight, but it's important to remember tha...

This piece of issues mainly in the uniak so is available here. 1) The frigates are the same subships as gunboats / corvettes? 2) What are the torpedoes used by the attacking team in the battle of Naam? And is it possible to direct them to the ships? We are just here to argue to the conclusion that t...

5) How many gunboats able to serve the Umiak tender? Only his or another for a number enough? Depends on on how much fuel and supplies they have. There's no hard limit. Well, at least roughly - how many gunboats can cater fully fitted out Tender. 8) Is it possible to "Tolots" use as AMM, if necessa...

The "AxB" notation describes A number of turrets with B weapon mounts each. So in this case 1x6 means a single missile turret with 6 tubes; a 1x3 means a single turret with 3 tubes, and a 2x3 means two turrets with 3 tubes each. In the standard 3-tube AMM turret, each of the three tubes has a 12-ro...

Since the Loroi are a telepathic race with no privacy of the mind, does that mean there is no corrruption in their societies (like criminal elements, or slick politicians).

They are, but a few and very well disguised.

There are several questions, basically - armament: 1) Why Blisters listed as melee weapons, designed to increase the hit probability that the torpedoes and protection for enemy anti-missile defense, if the appointment of cluster munitions as a rule - to deliver the warhead to a distance of defeat an...

Similarly.

Shearing down has to be done now or never, the time limit ends with this turn. We brought in the Data Hard Drives which should have plenty of schematics for mid 21st century chemical rockets just for historical posterity, as for the distance involved it doesn't really matter if gravity ain't an iss...

The electronics needed to actually guide a rocket onto a moving target ain't that complicated; the technology has been there since the 1950s. A first tier machine shop of the 2150s (two full tech levels ahead) should be able to produce such basic electronics with ease and it is actually a pre-requi...

The missiles slated for production are in the first tier; basic chemical missiles with simple tracking systems. Relatively cheap and easy for the manufacturing tech of 2150's humanity to produce. Mass drivers are very nice, don't get me wrong, but their range sucks in general and they'll be slow in...

Cool. Umiak took humans for Loroi bioweapons against psionics?)

Hmm, I'm a little confused. How many units of resources \ science do we have? And the amount of food even to know about... I do not think that expand the mass production of missiles makes sense. Missiles are expensive and require a large production capacity for mass production. I think the best bet ...
