I don't know of any way to migrate old posts to the new forum; they are different systems, and even if there was some way to get a dump of the raw data, I doubt we could get Digital Webbing to provide it (the main reason for the new forums being that I couldn't get any kind of response from them).

So yes, it would be great to have a "master archive" from the old system, if that's something you'd be willing to spend time on.

WOW! fredgiblet, this is Awesome! Thanks! I'm reading furiously now! If you don't post it... I will at some point! :) The paragraph word-wrap...or lack there of is annoying. I copped it all and pasted to a Word file that I'm formatting right now... when I figure out how to post all 86 pages of Arial, 8pt font... I'll do something! :)

I'll start working on it this weekend (which for me is Tue-Thu), it may be hard to figure out exactly where I left off so some might slip through the cracks but I'll do my best.

There is a viking wax museum in Dublin. Their statues are build after modern human. They build once a doll on to real bones of "healthy example of viking soldier". When they put it next on other statues he was so grotesque, that they didn't use it at all.

Result of different dietary, sicknesses, etc. But i have heard that people were more healthy before agriculture, so cavemen could look to us more "human-like" than people in medieval times.

bunny: or it could be that wax doll creators are not forensic anthropologists, or even some of those FBI facial reconstruction experts....

The actual face building was made by expert sculptor, who is used by both interpol and anthropologists to create faces on found bones.

Rickets, dental caries, massive damage, etc are rare today.
And. Evolution affect also to Loroi, so they are little different now than soia era.

I can try to help "organize" once it's all formatted and try to subdivide it up into sections or something. Not sure if that would help Arioch, but at least it would be useful if it were a sort of canon guidebook of sorts that is a less organized systematic and picture-less insider thing...

That view of the Battle Cruiser is amazing. Very good perspective.

hi hi

For some reason, seeing Moonglow with that expression juxtaposed with the cruiser all off by itself, I kind of imagine her sanzai to be doing something like this: "sigh...I guess I'll fire over in that direction, though it really isn't going to make a difference. I mean, do you really think we can save the Winter Tide at this point? *Sigh* How did I get stuck in this strike group..." But I know that's not what she's really thinking.

But yes, that is a sweet looking spaceship. It is vying with the winter tide for my favorite now.

Edit: I also just noticed how it has a crescent moon symbol painted on it. Nice touch :)

Agreed, I just wish i could do that kind of perspective :(

but I'm not sure is the war cruiser, I thinks its the Vanguard battle cruiser, ( over top pulse cannons, many more PD lasers). but now I see more of the Tempests profile in the ship than just the outline in the insider article on loroi ship classes ( since the insider states the vanguard is base o the Tempest vortox Mk 2).

Ashrains, is a Katana class war cruiser ( last panel in the 79-80 page spread)

but it only matter if your in to outsider that much :roll: :arrow: :|

Tsunami is indeed a Vanguard-class battlecruiser. The BC design has been updated a bit since the last concept.

Definitely has a shorter "broadhead arrow" feeling to it than the original design.

@Aroich thx for the varification, I can't wait for the page on this battle :D

hi hi

Woot! Those missile pods look awesome. I am surprised that they all made it to the separation point without getting hit, but I guess the Umiak are either not too concerned about them, or they really are focused on something more important for the big picture.

First part, are you revering to yourself or someone else ??
