This is where you can discuss your homework, family, just about anything, make strange sounds and otherwise discuss things which are really not related to the Lancer-series. Yes that means you can discuss other games.

Outsider

I rarely read webcomics but this one's special.
Outsider is a sci-fi web comics. The main difference between it and other webcomix is that the creator of Outsider uses 3D Studio Max to build the starships from the story. The progress is pretty slow but it is very well done... See for yourself.

I visit this one regularly, too.

But isn't the big thing that it features Loroi? (ie: Elerians?)

Can't go wrong with sci-fi telepathic chicks, big ships, huge lazerz, and big 'slozhuns.

It looks pretty cool, up until I saw the aliens, and I let out a long sad moan. Why oh why couldn't they:
1) Not be all women. Are they all lesbians and use cloning or what?
2) Not be elves, or vulcans, or whatever they are?
3) NOT wear skintight battle armor 100% of the time?
Don't get me wrong, space chics make the blood flow but I'd like to see something original. Anyway, it looks pretty cool... But it will be REALLY slow. Over a year and barely into chapter 1. Oh boy

Oh, believe me, it's slower than you think. The guy made last two pages in a couple of months.

Well, the whole point of the comic is for cheezy, sci-fi elven chicks, actually. (Who complains, though? )

Funny thing is, even after something that unoriginal, Arioch's put a lot of thought into this. I think he's tried to make it so that all the other races (like the Umiak) aren't stereotypical races. The Umiak, for example, are "insectoid," but are different from the whole "hive minded, no value of life" stuff.

And, yeah. It takes forever for him to update. He updates it just about as much as I do my homework. (Speaking of which, I'd better get off the computer and go do that. )

Edit: There's something about the race that makes it so that the ratio is 10:1 for males. It's on the forums, somewhere.

Oh, why wasn't I born in that race then. >:\

Pretty sweet! There was one shot, this one that made me drop my jaw! Awesome 3d!

P.S. I didn't steal that picture, I just couldn't figure out how to link directly to it on his site.

The only comics I read are Reallife.com and Reslifecomics.com. Those are great!

That panel looks kind of cool but it doesn't really work well IMO, having a 3D ship in front of 2D everything else. Making it like the Terran ship would have been better imo

What exactly would be the difference between a 2D starfield/nebula and a 3D starfield/nebula? I guess there's just no pleasing some folks.

Post Fri Feb 07, 2003 2:02 am

All the characters, scenes, objects and everything else are 2D, yet ships are 3D, is what I mean.

Post Fri Feb 07, 2003 2:14 am

The author just wanted to show how good he is with 3d Studio Max .

Post Fri Feb 07, 2003 3:51 am

Nice...however I have little patients for Webcomix, otherwise, its not bad

Post Fri Feb 07, 2003 6:25 am

Wow....those textures 0wn! That guy should go model in games.
