THE END OF TIMES IS NIGH!

Clearly this means that we'll all be dead by tomorrow. Guess I'll buy some KY, subscribe to all the 1080p porn sites I can find, and buy a fuckload of heroin so I can peace out before the horrors start deconstructing reality.

They were holding hands for a very long time. Imagine yourself shaking hands and talking this much without letting go. Even more, Talon and Jardin are both talking about how unusually friendly they're now and how each others hands feel.

Beryl is right to be jealous.

That can't be good.
>>
>>53490603

Yeah, but if these elves are anything like humans than youll be able to find at least a few who have a fetish for abnormally large guys instead of just mainstream shots lovers. That, and they are hella sex starved, so even Jardin is probably looking pretty good to them.
>>
How is this webcomic still relevant?
>>
>>53494204

Fair enough. It's not acruelly his personality in general that I hate. I hate the fucker for making a mickey mouse joke over the corpses of his comrades. That's just fucking wrong.
>>
>>53494240
You know he did that to stay on the bridge once he got there, right? He didn't actually mean any of that.

>>53494090
He's trained as a fighter pilot and pretty much pulled an Ender's Game which is why the Fleet wanted him. Why he wanted to join the scouts is because Earth's Fleet is shit compared to the other factions and he believes the best way to win a war is to avoid it
>>
>>53494435

If you are trying to tell me that he couldn't have just been respectful, or that they wouldn't have had a proper procedure for burial in space, then you're full of it. There is no excuse for making a fucking mickey mouse hoke over the dead. He's a fucking cunt. Simple as that. If he had to just say something he could have said something without the fucking joke.
>>
>>53494435
He had no idea what the other factions were like or whether Earth was in their league. He joined the scouts because he wanted to be the first to meet the aliens and see real action, and he knew the fleet would be sitting at port running training simulations until Earth officially joined the war, which could potentially take years.
>>
Why are all the details given about the Umiaks way cooler than the Loroi stuff?
>>
>>53494435
Beryl informed them that Alex's name means "Garden Guardian", which in Trade is Ristan Enzin.

>>53494751

You telling me you're to thick to realize he spelled out mickey mouse, and that what he said ain't all that far off from how they used to end an old mickey mouse cartoon by telling the kids they'd see them all soon?
>>
Wait what? Three page update? Welp, I guess we'll now just wait for the breaking of the seventh seal.
>>
>>53494751
He thinks multiple times during the battle how astonished he is at the scale of the fighting and how much bigger the alien forces are than he had anticipated. He thought the humans would be ready to play a role as an underdog allied to one side, and only after seeing the battle does he realize how Humans aren't even prepared for that
>>
>>53494803
What? The point of the scene was that he was lost for words and just remembered something from his childhood.

It wasn't a joke you autist. You might think it missed the mark but that's your opinion.
>>
>>53494680
Really? So it wasn't whatsherface mispronouncing Ensign?

>>53494240
I think that was him just feeling lost, alone, and somewhat meaningless. He'd had the rug pulled out from under him in more than a few respects.

>>53494090
He was a helmsmen originally. Or rather, that was like, his primary MOS, on top of the multi-discipline training that scout corps officers receive. He was only in the DC party when the attack happened due to a disciplinary action.

>>53494223
Interesting setting, nice art, space elf amazons, an the suspense. Always the suspense.
>>
I get the feeling that blue pilot elf is nerding out over a male who likes piloting too. He's like the unicorn hot grill who enjoys vidya and /tg/ shit to her.
>>
>>53494860
We also have the hard stats for the human fleet.

If this was MOO, humanity would be a good 4-5 tech levels behind the Loroi. They're only just figuring out particle beam weapons on their most advanced ships, and most of them have no shields, have far less g-resistance, and are armed only with (relatively) short range mass driver weapons.
>>
>>53494973

I wonder if there's also an element of
>hey baby
>I'm a fighter pilot.
>>
>>53495004
If there is one thing I can believe that crosses races and species, it's that fighter pilots think they are the second coming of christ.
>>

Hey I've a buddy whose a fighter pilot and he's not that bad. Only looks down on us ground pounders a wee bit, and to be fair he can do shit I wouldn't even want to contemplate. Them boys are fucking crazy.

>>
>>53494240

I honestly think it was due to the overall shock of the events. I'm not certain how well I would react or recall proper funeral send offs if everyone I knew and shared quarters with during a deployment got blow away in no time flat.
>>
>>53495521

Me personally if i get shot while I'm deployed I hope my buddy at least has the presence of mind not to bring up mickey fucking mouse. I mean I get shock, i get that I really do, but come on even then you should be able to do better than mickey fucking mouse.
>>
>>53495727

I'd hope so, but i have yet to experience the act of being a sole survivor and basically treated like a POW by possible enemies.

Honestly, I am betting the author didn't want to deal with creating or selecting a hymn or song for the loss of crew at sea/space or war, just like he doesn't want to make any predictions of how music or views religion will change in the far future.

The sad thing if Outsider gets a decent update schedule is that people coming afterwards won't get the apocalypse jokes.

I wonder if the story has changed a lot from the first draft. Long enough has passed for him to rewrite it completely over a hundred times.

Delicious space elves.

The problem is this, though: There is literally only one way that outsider could be truly ruined... lack of space elf polygamy with the main character.

That means, of course, that is exactly what will happen.
>>
>>53503230
Main characters are overrated.
>>
>>53494975
Reading outsider makes me want to play Distant Worlds with the pre-ftl shadows start. Dealing with grossly overpowered enemies diplomatically because they'd ruin you in combat is an interesting change from everyone starting at the same level.

Would like a similar start in Stellaris, with a "War in Heaven" already ongoing when the player's first FTL ships are built.
>>
>>53503327

>Would like a similar start in Stellaris, with a "War in Heaven" already ongoing when the player's first FTL ships are built.

It'd be nice if there was some sort of pre-planned collapse/mechanics for things going to hell and breaking out and being able to establish yourself as a power. Right now I feel sorry for the pre-FTLs who manage to make it to space near/in my space.

The brightest and best minds of the world finally manage to make physics their bitch, and find out that they're basically like a zoo animal that jumped outside of its pen.

Talon is thinking: Okay, so my new passenger is
- Male
- Super friendly (asks to be referred to by nickname immediately)
- Extremely forward (wants to hold hands immediately)
- Also a pilot
- A hot commodity (Beryl clearly wants him too and is getting territorial)

Plus, judging by her willingness to go for the handshake, she's probably not one to let an opportunity slip by.

Someone's gonna get raped.
>>
>>53503901
it's not rape if he cums
>>
>>53503901
I'm thinking of it like this: If a cute blue space elf came up to you, started being friendly, asked you to call her by a nickname, and wanted to give you a hug and french kiss as a greeting... what would you do?

Now imagine what a soldier on deployment in the middle of nowhere for the last year would do in that situation.

He translated Alexander to guardian when they asked what his name meant.
"Enzin" is guardian in the Trade Language.

She's confused his rank with his name so he sounds like he's being very forward.

While the sexual subtext is there, I think part of what the author is trying to get across in these new panels is that stereotypical Loroi cultural and personality traits can be positives. The only Loroi we've seen so far who didn't put a screen of professionalism between herself and Alex has been the commander(or admiral, or whatever she is). The first thing she said to him was an insult and she did nothing but escalate from there. She probably would have explained her detailed plans to find out where his homeworld is and blow it up if she hadn't been interrupted. The diplomat character then explains how Loroi who aren't specifically trained for diplomacy are pathologically direct and tactless.

In the new panels, we see another character who has not been trained for diplomacy, but her directness, lack of tact, and willingness to immediately engage this stranger in his species' social interactions on his own terms with little hesitation, shows the positive side of the stereotypical Loroi personality profile.

That seems like retardation based on what we know.

>Male:Female ratio is something like 1:7 or 1:10.
>Males need constant sex or they start having actual physical sickness/problems. Let's say daily, at the lower end, since they were concerned that he was immediately at risk after picking him up.
>So logically loroi females should be wired to want sex once a week on average, or their race implodes.

Loroi enjoy sex, they seek to rise in rank so they can have more sex (and even a boyfriend).

Arioch wrote in one of his forum infodumps that Loroi males are almost in a constant state of near rut, with everything that entails. If one were to have the kind of un-aroused erection human men have in the morning, the response would be to get him clean up and between some lady's legs ASAP, before he hurt himself.

The hilarity that could ensue if one of the lasies on the shuttle wakes Jardin up after a goods night rest has not been lost on forum posters.
>>
>>53505597
It's contradicted in the Extras though

>A male who is not interested in sex at all (for whatever reason) can refuse to be matched at all. As you might expect, it's difficult for a female to force herself on a male in any meaningful way beyond pure physical abuse. However, such a refusal would be pretty rare; Loroi males are very good sports (and most Loroi warrior females are healthy, fit, good-looking people).

Yes, so it's all just retarded bullshit at this point, which was my original statement. He's been writing the story so long that he has either forgotten what he wrote the the past or has fundamentally changed the story and races so that they are now contradictory to themselves.

He's actually gone one further and made an entire 4x game of his own, or at least the art for it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFvl28ZqmO0

>>53503660
The only pre-planned collapse mechanics I've ever seen in a 4x space game is Emperor of the Fading Suns, where science has a maintenance cost paid for by labs, if labs are destroyed the science is lost pushing the faction back into the (space) dark ages.

There's Total War: Rome where the empire is pre-set to split into two at one point.

I like the mechanic but there aren't many games that use that concept.

It was released on steam and it's a re-make of Master of Orion 2. It's missing some kind of end-game crisis but other than that it's a functional strategy game, though behind the times with no quests or storyline or hero units.

Old fashioned funnypaper wisdom says you don't draw open mouths unless it's to express an emotion, otherwise your cartoons look slack-jawed.
>>
>>53506142
I've been looking at the game to see how hard it'd be to add a few important features myself, namely:

1. End game crisis, maybe the Death's Hand human pirates become a real threat, the pirate homebase is found and suddenly pirate fleets come streaming out. Or maybe Earth is found and whatever destroyed/made it lost is released onto the galaxy. Or maybe Antares extra-dimensional aliens attack like in MoO2.
2. In game events, storylines, quests. Much harder to implement but I still want to try.

What I wish he (and the programmer guy) would work on is optimizations though, by mid game in a large galaxy I get lag. The game's 2d sprite based and "large" galaxy is 85 stars. Shouldn't have any lag.
>>
>>53506258
Right now, though it isn't glamorous or flashy, I think the most important thing is to just tweak the features already implemented to make them work better and improve game balance. Combat balance is still a little wonky due to beams, shields, and kinetic weapons not being balanced well.

That's not how space works. Vacuum is a very good insulator, since you can only lose heat via (slow) radiation and not conduction or convection.

I'd expect their engines alone to produce enough heat to require sophisticated cooling. Losing "environmental control", whatever that is, would be more likely to cook them than freeze them.

Nedatan Tiret are male counselors who recount the sagas and discuss their meaning, in both public and private sessions, and who offer spiritual and psychological counsel. These discussions may involve direct telepathic contact via touch (even in public sessions), and the private sessions may also include sexual contact. (Insert Catholic Priest joke here)

That's what comes of resting your eyes for just one moment, Beryl. You'd finally gotten him off of the ship and away from those hundreds of randy bitches, and you thought you could let your guard down until you reached the frigate Clearbrook. Noooo! You forgot about the pilots! LITERAL MAN-GRABBING HUSSIES! SOIA DAMN IT!

I hope you aren't me, because I would have another personality that exist, or worse on of us is a changeling. I will take solace if you take over/strike me down that you atleast have excellent taste in Loroi waifus.

Think about how much of pre-technological Loroi life about was about keeping people from stealing your male. Hell, I think their current empire is *built* around that.

>Beryl is like a cute lapdog that brought down a cow, and is now bewildered about how the hell it is supposed guard the carcass from the bigger dogs and actual wolves long enough to eat it, if it even can- poor girl.
>I wonder if there is some kind of primitive intuitive Loroi relationship- "I've stolen a man but I'm small and cute and I don't think I can beat off intruders that will take him away from me, help me and we can share.

I was pretty sure they mentioned something about gene-locking the growth of facial hair.

Which makes sense for a few reasons considering that Earth's space tech is still rather primitive. Not needing to use water on shaving regularly would be quite handy, and while not a serious concern it would in a small way contribute to the overall cleanliness of the ship, since in a contained environment like that, keeping dust and other dirt to a minimum is a benefit.

When you take this concept to the logical extreme, realizing that everyone might be completely smooth except for eyebrows and the top of their head, it gets a bit fetish fuel-y. Also, while I'm just completely spitballing ideas here, the fact that Ensign Jardin doesn't seem to have any chest hair, means I might actually be right, which shocks me as much as any of you.

From the Loroi Sister Worlds page: http://well-of-souls.com/outsider/loroi_sister_worlds.html
>Deinar III (also called just "Deinar") is a temperate terrestrial world, though cooler and more arid than Earth (with larger ice caps and a narrower temperate zone)

Perhaps a bit colder that Continental? but you are right methinks. You can see where I was coming from at least
>>53513583
Just the Diverse Rooms graphics mod
>>53513922
You are right, Still needed more points to show their their longevity, skill and intelligence. Got more points where I could find even if it's reaching a bit.
>>53516625
Again, it's a bit of a stretch but I picked Sedentary due to the Loroi raising their young in Creches, and their focus on the three "sister worlds" which seems disproportionately important to them.

Im pretty impressed with your deduction. And intrigued.
>>
>>53521586
He has mentioned one of the critical problems in early Loroi society was the difficulty in technological development due to one of the first technologies being mating regulation.

So the farmer-herders would develop this, start to grow food, develop technology, etc. While the hunter-gatherer barbarians had no such limitation. Inevitably, the hunter-gatherers would breed beyond the ability of the land to support them, and raid/enslave the more limited populations of the Farmer-Herders. Rinse and repeat, particularly when early technology was still little match for the Teidar.

Piloting a vessel and piloting an aircraft are within the same sphere of difficulty. You need to know your checklists and have a feel for the currents.
>>
>>53495309
Jardin doesn't know that.

Talon doesn't know that holding hands this long is "unusually friendly" either.

They're both inadvertently flirting with each other. They don't know it, but it's happening. Just look at Talons expressions. She's laughing, she is being playful and she keeps up body contact. She even remarks how warm his hands are.
>>
>>53497151
Except Fireblade. She missed the whole mating encounter, because her world was occupied. Then she was transfered to a fleet and remained on duty, since she's PTSDd and dangerous.

There's at least 4 Loroi who know for sure... And maybe our cute pilots.

Senpai Talon, I found a survivor
Excellent, let's get her aboard...
*gasp* It's a male! And he's kinda hot...
Senpai, should we.. remove his space suit?
To see if he's alright, I mean!

Also, assuming that Jardin is rather smooth for one reason or another, I'm wondering what the Loroi's reaction would be upon meeting a rather hairy fella.

Do you see the shuttle they're in right now? There exists a completely rendered 3d model of that shuttle on the authors computer. Inside and outside.

He designed a shuttle, spent time deciding where the toiletts would go and then modeled the seat belts.
>>
>>53523217
That's a good excuse until you are literally twenty years into the comic.

Once it hits that point, I'm thinking maybe there is another problem like severe ADD.
>>
>>53523217
Indeed, if he has a flaw, it's autism.

But man, that's also the kind of dedication to one's work that's going to see humanity build that shuttle some day!

A downgrade in story presentation? What does that even mean? I sincerely doubt he is slaving away over a hot CPU day after day to churn out pages at the blazing rate of two per year.

Not that guy, but this is why we must all give up the flesh and embrace the machine!

The Singularity is the only way, become one with the machine, live in immortality as a synthetic conciousness, joined together by the greatest super computer ever designed! It is the only way we will ever live to see the end of this comic, the author included, and for that I say it is worth it!

The pleasures of the penis are nothing compared to the thought of hand holding with blue space elves!
>>
>>53523473
He renders enough detail in the environment models to stick them in a videogame.

Normally that's something even a team of professional comic artists would hire out to Weta Workshop and the like
>>
>>53523510
Well, I mean, if Zardoz says so then....
>>
>>53523568
I don't understand what you are arguing here.

Are you saying that it is the modeling that is taking up all his time, and that is why his updates are so slow?

That's objectively false. He literally stopped updating the comic to make 4x video game in his free time.

What are you defending?
>>
>>53523163
I see it too. This is the reality now.
>>
>>53523640
He was slow on updates even before he started making a game, and rendering the scenery was a large part of why.
>>
>>53523667
Yes, but if you are just not doing a thing and then say to do the thing faster you need to reduce quality, it stinks of bullshit.

You know what would make the comic way, way faster? Actually working on it.

Honestly, at this point I just hope we get a single instance of space elf dickings before he dies of old age.

Then why does the Navy put the lowest-ranking seaman behind the wheel of their ships?

Also, the lead pilot of an aircraft is the aircraft commander. They outrank everyone on board.
>>
>>53523762
Guess for the same reason that real life submarines put the new guys into the helmsman's seats. The ability to steer the ship is so essential that everyone should be able to do it in case of emergency, hence everybody has done time at the helm right from the start.

True, but no one would put a new kid behind the yoke of a aircraft.

Piloting a ship and an airplane are two entirely different concepts, and spacecraft have more in common with aircraft than surface vessels. Submarines are a bit different, but the Helmsman on a sub is severely micromanaged by several NCO's and Officers at once, its fucking boring as hell. The helmsmen/pilot disconnect in spacecraft is a ass-pull by authors to justify the "Space is an Ocean' trope in their fiction. It also doesn't help that much of the audience is so brainwashed by Hollywood that they can't wrap their brains around spacecraft not being boats.

For humans, I meant. She doesn't know that.

He planned out the structural integrity for space travel. I fucking guarantee you that you can pop on the forums, ask him where the refueling point is and he can answer you with precision.

>>53523434
Hop on the forum and look around. Ok, I think he drew the seat belts, but he has a 3d model. Not just a model of a room, a model of the ship, with interiors and all.

>>53523267
He did the same for the Tempest and is likely already working on the Azimol Citadel.
>>
>>53524350
>The helmsmen/pilot disconnect in spacecraft is a ass-pull by authors to justify the "Space is an Ocean' trope in their fiction.
It makes for better character interaction, rather than "shut the fuck up and let me concentrate on flying this thing." Fiction tends to warp a setting to pander to the nature of the media.

>>53525040
That might not work in movies or books, but it could be a fun vidya game
