Just watched the episode today, actually. Now, I could say give 'em ROTS Clone Trooper gear, and we'd have a one-sided slaughter. But I'm just gonna give ways that, with Federation or Modern Earth tech, could improve their chance of survival. First, helmets (how the hell the Federation invested in s...

They have most of the historical works (like Sherlock Holmes and Shakespeare), that's true. Tolkien would be a must.

I'd have to agree with Pure Sa- I mean Noble Ire. A holographic, interactive, recreation of LotR. Even without interaction, walking along and watching the movie unfold as if you were there would be incredible. With interaction? Holy shit. Besides that, probably a historical battle simulation and the...

That was the episode Affinity, I think. It had something to do with the NID remnant (the Trust) causing trouble. I don't think they followed up on that, though.

As for what they were up to, I can't honestly remember. But I think that
The Trust was hunting for a Goa'uld hiding on Earth.

I understand, just trying to make sense of the railgun theory. Then, the deck guns were indeed proton torpedo launchers, and nothing more, just as the RotS ICS said.

In the RotS Visual Dictionary, they're are called railguns, but in the ICS, they're called torpedo tubes. Obviously, the ICS is more canon, and proton torps do use a "casing" of sorts, as shown on the X-Wing in the OT ICS. But, to speculate, the tubes could use magnetic acceleration. It wo...

It does look like the Falcon to me, but could just as easily be a Sabre-class escort. What direction was it moving? To the left, or to the right? If it was the former, it's a Falcon.

I would endeavour that it's a cluster of smaller buildings atop some kind of elevated structure, possibly a "historical district". Something like that.

Anyway, I love the symmetry of the layout.

I always like playing as the Air Force general on Zero Hour.

Combine that with some airmoble infantry (using Combat Chinooks, no do...

Now, I was thinking about the radiator panels. One could easily put the panels against the pod, rather than mounted on pylons. At any rate, I like the concept.

You're right. SDN won't accept bitmaps. @The Jazz Intern: in Paint, save your file as a png. That'll keep the file clarity (jpegs muddy it up) and keep the file at a reasonable size.
