We know that the harness can do much medical stuff beside radio communication - this kid with healed lungs, physiological changes, insane endurance etc. It would be strange if skitters had a natural organ that does all this stuff and can be placed into another species without any significant changes...

It was shown that skitters contain the same "harness" creature as used on kids. There are 2 possible options: -harness slowly transforms whatever it hangs on into a skitter -harness is just a mind control\medical device that works on various races Both can have very interesting conclusions...

Based on the name, polymorphine sounds like a chemical that causes the user to change shape. That's not how an ooglith or gablith masquer works. It's literally a living head-to-toe sheath that changes your appearance. The works are different, but the use is the same. And polymorphine works better i...

Ooglith sounds like a slightly inferior version of a callidus assasin with polymorphine, that still doesn't get around the problem of making 40k humans, psykers especially, uneasy about their negative warp aura. The moment such a spy gets anywhere near a psyker or someone who knows about this phenom...

The Vong's hate for machines (and acting on it) will make every AdMech member hate them more than he hates anything else. Just show them a hive or forgeworld conquered by the Vong. For everyone else, they are just another kind of filthy xenos. Vong infiltration is going to be pretty much impossible,...

These forces look awfully infantry-heavy. They have little tanks and combat aircraft, and totally lack long range air to air and ground to air weapons. They would not be able to engage all of modern human strategic bombers from the ground, and most of the fighters too. And in the air, they have only...

The "based on the laws of physics we know" really screws us up above the GDI level - it pretty much means we cannot reach technological parity with the faction in question, usually in FTL travel, material science, energy weapons, and in case of IoM and Empire have absolutely no protection ...

Yeah, grvity and atmosphere density are the main factors in how big winged creatures can get, at what price, and if they make sense at all. On Earth, the conditions aren't very good at all, and it means that Earth's flying winged creatures need to have a relatively large ratio of wing area and wing ...

So how does the AM and the IOM react to a tiny young lady who can fly at supersonic speeds, shoot plasma from her body, carres a sword that's bigger than her, and can rebuild herself.... The AdMech screams Technoheresy! as fast as it can, and we know what comes next... Cyborg trying to assert free ...

Sabot rounds which mix AP with a flammable payload These are real. Made from deplated uranium, which is pyrophoric. An uncommon idea - kinetic kill guided missiles for ground combat. Can be very heavy and fast, but the trick is that they need some distance to accelerate. If you have improbably heav...

That means that while the other one is watching the shuttle, the MiGs available to attack the VTOLs has been halved. And so it happens that the place that needs defending from shittle is the same place that needs defending from VTOL's. Also, the Norks do not know that the shuttle has to go low and ...

Except the shuttle is fast enough to achieve orbit, so it can lead the MiGs on and basically fuck with them while they try in vain to shoot the much-faster shuttle down. One Mig can rearm and refuel while the other is watching the shuttle. If the shuttle wants to hit anything it has to go low and s...

F-111s get destroyed by hitting birds. Oh no. If only F-111s didn't have glass canopies and VTOLs lol. If only the Australian air force used XB-36s insteads! :lol: F-111's and MIG-21's can fly at altitude no bird can fly. But my point there is that they aren't armored like an AH-64, with critical a...

RDA VTOL's get destroyed by stone age aliens riding on giant flying animals. MIG-21's are supersonic fighters. RDA VTOL's get slaughtered. RDA VTOL's are inferior weaponrywise to modern assault helicopters - they are armed utility helicopters, without turret mounted cannons. Some of them have short ...

Young Predators consider aliens worthy melee opponents. Young predators have some armor, melee weapons superior to Na'vi ones, (plus metal blades implanted into their forearms), and we can safetly assume they underwent long training with melee fighting xenomorphs in mind, with expertise of veteran x...

Is the wormhole's position foreseeable for us, or at least the Benefactors? If so, we would have a good chance of messing up at least the first enemy ship to arrive. The Benefactors could lend us a hand with hauling stuff around solar system, and put an asteroid\asteroid field on top of the wormhole...

Are these still too different? Oooh, Libya. Hey, you just shot yourself in the food - if they have a lower agricultural employment rate as Libya, (with no modern technology) then they are quite bad off, don't you think? Maybye they have a bit more technology? And the diff here is just 5%. And West ...

Guess they have pittyfully sparse agriculture too. Yeah, right - because you can totally compare a culture using modern agriculture and one who doesn't :roll: West Bank: agriculture: 12% industry: 23% services: 65% (June 2008) Libya: agriculture: 17% industry: 23% services: 59% (2004 est.) Are thes...

Oooh, sorry for not getting any acronym immedeately :roll: Either way, Amnesty International is an accredited source. And you are still too stupid to link to your sources. And if you read the data, you will find that most of it says 2010 estaminate or even "earlier date" estaminate. Clear...

Soo....the very same source where you got your statistics from IS NOT RELIABLE? Damn, you are quite the moron... I wonder in what paralell universe are you living in, because in mine, The World Factbook is not in any way controlled by AI. Besides, your statistics are damn worthless, since IIRC, the...

That's hooey and you know it. Very large families are characteristic poor populations. Characteristic for poor populations NOT under blockade. You are attempting to suggest that the fact that the Palestinians have many children means they're living well. This is not correlative and I'm pretty sure ...

"Those poor starving Palestinians" is just stupid leftist and islamic propaganda against Israel. Some photos from Gaza: http://undhimmi.com/2010/05/31/gaza-do-these-people-look-like-they-need-an-aid-flotilla/ Of course a few photos are not enough, so let's compare some hard data (from CIA ...

Another interesting question - who organized the attack? Was it the passenger's idea (if yes, why the crew didn't do anything about it), or someone higher up planned this? It looks like that IHH might have staged it to push Turkey into the anti Israel camp. THAT'S how an NGO can shape politics :D An...

In my opinion that was a succesfull staged event: -the only resisting ship happened to be the Turkish one -the Turkish ship happened to have a bunch of passengers where the Israeli personnel was landing -this bunch of people happened to be experienced troublemakers not giving a shit about light crow...
