Well, if we're going for definitions: An extended dramatic composition, in which all parts are sung to instrumental accompaniment, that usually includes arias, choruses, and recitatives, and that sometimes includes ballet. Since most Space Opera does include the extended dramatic composition portion...

RE: TV Signals: actually analog signals fare MUCH better on long ranges and 'decoding' interestingly enough, unless you specifically design the signals in that manner(hint, we have not most of the time), analog signals get garbled(but still sorta understandable) while digital get CRC errors and pack...

Loroi proximity to Alex can probably be explained as his telepathic blankness to Loroi senses on one side, and the Loroi testing him on the other to see if he really does have all the telepathy of a rock or if there might be some small spark there. You kind of get that with humans too. Someone gets ...

It's either a large stellar mass black hole that started nomming, or two neutron stars merging. Presumably gravitational waves are to Jump Drives and hyperspace the same way that earthquakes and their resultant tsunami's are on Earth.

Since I recognise Durabys from another forum **waves at Durabys** I'm reasonably certain that his comment was in jest rather than any serious threat.

I do agree that killing off Beryl or Tempo would be rather galling though.

A male loroi can work like that provided it's been couched in the correct manner and has a background that supports the narrative the PC wants to put forward. It's not really all that different from a Joan of Arc or Grace O'Malley type of character, provided you balance things out to give other peop...

Survey is up, Please vote here. Apologies for the delay. This last week has been hectic with multiple birthdays all falling in the same week. I also need to renew both my passports, my license, and organise a visit to a friend interstate whilst tiptoeing around my boss, since this is a bad time to ...

Horribly delayed, etc. etc. Revamped a few things here and there. Read carefully. May 2nd 2156 Turn 13 The results of the whale hunt have gone spectacularly well for your colony, with lots of potential applications across the board. A few people did voice concerns about hunting them, but with thousa...

I try to use realism where it's most interesting, and let it slide where it's least interesting. Case in point, letting the L'Amour travel through the Briar Patch without an aerodynamic mod so you don't burn your hull going full speed ahead. :P Letting your bees live because they can live off sugar ...

Yeah, your current set of stuff doesn't include plants that are rich in nectar for the bees to live off. You need flowering plants for that, so oranges, berries and the like. Your insect population is benefitting from the diversification, but not the bees. That being said, there is a solution. You c...

Population increase kicks in next turn, but since they're only infants they're not going to add to your productive population for another 18 years. 16 if a majority of the thread argues for a decrease in working age, though that may have consequences. I've got to do a lot more cleaning up of various...

Transit time is from your current position to the edge nearest to Loroi space. It used to be a month but you've drifted further in over the past year. Most of that was because of fuel limitations and top speed considerations in a dense atmosphere. Your engines are designed for vacuum after all, and ...
