Re: Some Questions About Outsider Tech and Ship Mechanics.
Thanks for the quick answers. I have some more clarification questions on some of them since I'm interested in stuff like this. At this tech level, small sensors and transmitters are extremely easy to conceal. However, without faster than light communication, any intelligence gathered is limited to ...

No. According to the insider essay about the Jump Drive , you'd jump on the wrong side of the reality plane (spacetime) right away, as you're starting downwards. http://www.well-of-souls.com/outsider/images/hyperspace_badjump.gif (imagine a continuation of the " deep jump "green arrow to get what I...

Some Questions About Outsider Tech and Ship Mechanics.
Just some miscellaneous questions. I wasn't sure what thread to put them under so I made one to place them in. 1) At this tech level, what sort of spy technologies do the combatants have? Would they be able to install micro cameras/microphones on people without their knowledge for example? 2) How do...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
When we're talking about powerful Loroi families, strictly speaking, we're mostly talking about the warrior class. Most civilians are not permitted to reproduce; the majority of civilians were born to warrior families, with which they no longer associate, and so actual biological civilian families ...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
Beryl was born aboard a cruiser during the Semoset offensive. As a baby she was taken off the ship at the first port of call (a frontier colony in the Steppes), and her mother died shortly thereafter. Her mother was of no important family, she was taken into state custody and eventually transferred...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread
I had some questions about Loroi culture, just point me to the webpage if these have already been addressed however. 1) Do Loroi have a war exemption clause for designated persons, ala Mosely. For instance, would any potential Einstein be shielded from battle, if so would this be a restriction of sa...

I was always particularly sensitive to that. Nevertheless, I have gotten into trouble, big trouble at times. And with my experti...

It's not all in one place that is easily postable, but is spread across multiple hundred-plus page documents. And no, the 788-page main notes document is not suitable for public consumption. :D Guess I'll just have to keep pestering you with questions then, :) . Speaking of which, do Loroi have to ...

I've been having trouble finding information on the Loroi worlds.

Re: From the Heavens Above (Fanfiction)
Fair, the chapter was really only meant to introduce the two characters and there was a lot of fluff. I might have gotten carried away 8-) . As for the writing style, this particular chapter was meant to be written from the point of view of a Loroi, a lot of the setting description is actually a sub...
