Re: New some help with canon nBSG material for a new story

What do you need to know in specific ?

While far from an authority I watched every single episode of the show and once planned to make a site talking about the technical side of Galactica. So you can ask me anything you need and I will try to dig up an answer.

Re: Signal a ship RAR!

You could bring a second small raft to light a fire on, but the difficult part is keeping any fuel you bring dry enough to rapidly ignite. This would be near impossible in the movie setting when the raft is smashed by large waves before the ship is sighted. Merchant ships also have utter crap for l...

@Sea Skimmer

Speaking of gas were there any proposals to use chemical weapons against ships?

Using RSS/Atom with SDN ?

From what I gather php forums have a neat RSS feature built in. In theory it should be possible to subscribe to a forum like this - very convenient to see threads and posts update in real time without refreshing.

Is such a feature available for sdn ? If so how can I go about using it ?

Question about exposed crew on tanks,warships vs explosions

During WW 2 many warships had open or partially open gun positions. Many anti aircraft crews would be highly exposed as bombs and rockets hit their ships.. Tank destroyer and tank crews often kept the hatch open for better visibility. My question is what would happen if a vehicle or ship got hit und...

Re: Is Science Merely an Arbitrary Conception of the Univers

No. Any advanced species would study the same universe as us and thus share scientific concepts only described differently due to mental and cultural differences.

Re: Celebrating 20 Years of the DC Animated Universe

*tips hat*

DCAU has continued to entertain me throughout my life. It is set apart by the consistent high level of quality. Never ever I really felt down by the plethora of amazing serieses and movies produced over nearly 2 decades. It is a remarkable feat to keep the bar so high for so long.

Re: Iran's supreme leader calls use of nuclear weapons:'big

Going against Islam is breaching the agreement. Besides, if you find a "more pious way in the eyes of Allah" you can do it: Sahih Muslim Hadith 4056 Narrated by Adi ibn Hatim Tamim ibn Tarafah said: ‘A beggar came to Adi ibn Hatim and he begged him to give him the price of a slave, or som...

Re: Iran's supreme leader calls use of nuclear weapons:'big

A promise given to a kaffir means nothing in islam. On the other hand, why say it at all? I am not sure about this. Do you have a quote ? Just curious. If they [the heathens] break their vows after an agreement with you and start striking against your faith [cursing and vilifying Islam], then fight...

Re: Thinking about buying a console

I am somewhat echoing Jub. I had both 360 and PS3 at the same time, but I found that a majority of the games I bought tended to be on both consoles. As great as Live is, technology wise, I hated all the unnecessary shit-talking and asshatery. Live is basically Warcraft tradechat, but instead of acc...

They don't absolutely dominate anything but boarding other ships, by being the only people that do it. Indeed, in space the appearance of their boarding pods is irrelevant.

One of the positive things I like about SDnet is the value of expert opinion.

Aquatic races would need some sort of power armor or small mecha (Gears sized) to fight on land - like the Orz in Star Control 2 for example who absolutely dominate ground warfare despite being fish people. They could use small tanks/tankettes but the problem is without legged platforms they won't h...
