Re: Couple questions

Honestly not sure about terminator armour. I actually think that terminator armour is military technology, though post collapse. Since the full name is tactical dreadnaught armour. But when talking about marines - their armour is actually a relative halmark of advance. They're on mark VIII or someth...

Re: Couple questions

Point being, bioaugs can hypothetically achieve the same results as pure bionics. While it's a fair point 40k is possibly the worst possible example to use as a comparison to real life. The thing about 40k is that's it's not entirely implausible. While a large number seem unusual, keep in mind that...

Re: Chapter 2 cover

I'm more surprised by his apparent lack of any facial hair. It's been a couple of days since he shavedlast probably, so unless the scouts give their men some long term depilation, he ought to getting prickly. :P

IMPLICATIONS Also, you take Kendo classes? You win. But no, seriously, how the hell do you watch someone travel back in time? My brain is running up against a wall here trying to imagine what negative time looks like. Everybody says, oh well neg time is time travel, but why? Is it just because we h...

Re: Page 90

Causality wall of text Alright I believe I understand the premise. But keep in mind that this effects conventional space FTL. If you have nonconventional space FTL you shouldn't have any causality issues either. Either by using the different reference frame as you mention or alternatively using the...

Re: Page 90

To be honest as far as I understand the light speed barrier is an acceleration barrier. There have already been particles observed at moving multipliers of the speed of the light for instance. Photons in nano sized tunnels. Also if you be capable of reaching ligth or supra light speeds without requi...

To be honest can't help but think that Fireblade's expression is the typical Doe look. She looks scared|wounded in a sense.

Re: The Golim

I was thinking that, but then you get on to questions about how far can this technology go? If you can make a button that's psi-sensitive, you could make a lot of buttons that are psi-sensitive. Enough buttons hooked up to some hydraulics and circuitry and you could control a gun turret or a tank w...

Re: Page 90

Sure but it would potentially require less military hardware than actual protection. Which is why I'm talking about the economical cost of the whole thing in a sense.

Re: Page 90

Don't want to sound incredibly snarky. But the blue skins essentially do have two choices on how to deal with a psionically disruptive species. a) Protect them and work them into the war effort. Though this does actually require considerable resources, since you will need to at least temporarily kee...
