That's a working theory, which would also explain (maybe) why they can still hunt Ysalamiri...they're not sensing the ysalamiri themselves, they're sensing the very tiny disturbance in the Force of the ysalamir's neutralization field? As I recall, the forests had some sort of effect which made senso...

Not sure there's a self-consistent explanation for that. The vornskrs are not extinct, so they must have a way of finding and eating the ysalamiri still, whether it's by hunting the null-spots, or just using their eyes. They may still have a sense for force disturbances that allows them to track for...

All I said about name-calling was that it wasn't required in this case. If I didn't support insulting the stupid for being stupid, I wouldn't be here. Why not? He's about as dumb as it gets. Not only that but he's cruel and apparently rejects the idea that people intrinsically deserve human rights....

So, if it's an evolutionary defence that doesn't work and these predators can sense through it anyway... why does it do retarded things like STOP FORCE LIGHTNING MID-FLIGHT? And how can the null area extend into fucking orbit when the area is so small in other situations? Is the first introduction ...

Um, no? The only conceivable way you could think that would be if you'd failed to read the thread, because I've posted disagreeing with him/her less than 3 pages ago.brianeyci wrote:Who the fuck are you, one of his dumb as nails libertarian friends?Terralthra wrote:Nope, no names.

Um, did you read my post, at all? Er, they *can't* find them by omission, which is retarded. Don't blame ME because some IDIOT WRITER decided 'lol natural selection lol immune to force' and by fiat decided that's as far as it went. Frankly, you could train a predator to hunt by such an obvious signa...

The way I remember it, the ysalamir are supposed to just be Force neutral, meaning the vornskrs can't find them with the Force. It doesn't mean they can't hunt them. It just negates their most effective tool for hunting. I would imagine that they could still find them using smell and sight. The eff...

As regards property in specific, it is simply wrong to assert that libertarians value property above life. Libertarians believe in self-ownership, so your life is literally your property, and you have the right to expect and demand that your life, along with all your other property, be safeguarded ...

Stun looks different because it is different. Stun is not a low-powered blast of the same type as the non-stun settings. Stun (blue donuts) are to the red blaster shots as ion cannons are to turbo-lasers. You'll note that the ion cannon shots are noticeably different visually from the typical TL sho...

The argument goes that Alderaan's pieces post-explosion moved in excess of 0.05c, but the fragments and debris from the Liberty and the other Mon Cal Cruiser destroyed by the DSII superlaser moved far less than that speed after they were destroyed. Assuming that both blasts were full power (assumpti...

Not exactly. The energy imparted to Alderaan by the SL weapon is not kinetic energy (well, not all of it, anyway, cf. what is a turbolaser). Minus the kinetic energy of the blast, a good deal of the energy is assumed to be massless photons of one variety or another in an excited state. This energy,...

Shit, JMSpock linked Darktard's website. :lol: Seriously, WTF is up with the Death Star being a chain reaction weapon? BTW, he says that the Death Star cant have all the energy necessary to blow up a planet because of recoil? (right?) Well, dont inertial compensators do something with that? Not exa...
