Anyway, you've all been a hoot. I look forward to poking the next generation 10 years from now. Ciao!

Hey, y'know what else is real freakin' fun? How the same people that will engage in linguistic and cognitive frickin' acrobatics to claim that the "Kessel Run in less than 12 parsecs" somehow means exactly what the words suggest -- even though what the words suggest is utterly nonsensical...

I've been busy with matters other than message boards. The point is self-evident, requires no further elaboration, and has not been contested by you; rather, you elected to engage in ad hominem horseshit. If your response is indicative of the quality of the debate I'd be working any further for, I s...

The point about Yamato has already been covered by others, but the "Cause and Effect" point has given me a thought. The ship was being affected by a space anomaly that was futzing with their systems. We know the core ejection system was offline, it's quite reasonable to suppose other safe...

The Galaxies have a rather undeserved reputation for being fragile. By the time of Sacrifice of Angels, at least 13 had been built (ten at least are seen in that battle, while Enterprise, Yamato and Odyssey being lost beforehand). Out of those 13, we know for certain of only 3 losses, two of them i...

There's a couple ways around that - first, replace the troop, (most of the) stores, and hangar spaces with the universe's most gigantic battery array, charged from standard Federation antimatter reactors during downtime, and second, dial the weapons and shield power levels down to only ten or fifte...

They did basically every single thing that trademark and copyright law was intended to prevent in the first place, because the exact reason such laws even exist is to ensure that a bunch of random people can't just start making money and selling merchandise and building their careers on the strengt...

I'm with you every step of the way on that. I don't care who profits by Axanar -- they were clearly doing top notch work based on the Prelude. Seriously, it looked as good to me as anything CBS had done with the property; I would prefer to have had CBS say, "Okay, you create it, but we profit b...

You know what my biggest bitch is about all this? We won't get Axanar now. That's it. Axanar looked well prepared to resolve the massive discontinuity introduced with Enterprise , then amplified with the JJTrek crap, and bring it back in line with TOS. We won't get that now, because you can bet you...

And now you know why I crap on my enemies. CURSE YOU, YOU HAVE DIVINED MY SECRET! Or... something.

There are few things better in life than a suit you can poop in. (Well, technically, you can poop in an ordinary suit, too. It's just messy.)

Well, I'm safe there; there's absolutely no one I care about, including myself.

A reboot that takes the property being rebooted in a completely different direction is a good thing in my opinion. Indeed. To me, the whole point of a reboot, creatively, is to take an interesting concept and have the freedom to run with it in a different direction. A reboot that just rehashes the ...

I could do with a tan.

I knew someone had to have glanced at the manual.

Well, duh, you don't march toward them aggressively. You just sort of... stroll up to them, in a very friendly way.

I take it you didn't read the rest of my post?

I did; I just didn't have any objection to the rest of it.

...even if they do just let you walk in and you do manage to set a nuke off and you get out of it alive you still have to deal with the problem inherent in setting a bloody nuke off in a shallow open pit. Among them being monumental amounts of fallout as all the dug up earth is thrown up, irradiate...

Well, what about using it to set off the nukes, then? Also has several problems, first of which: the suit doesn't make you invincible. You will get killed once they start bringing out anti-vehicle/anti-tank weaponry, plus actual tanks and helicopters (including drones that are armed with hellfire m...

Well, what about using it to set off the nukes, then?

Zixinus wrote:Are you trolling with that suggestion?

No. I mean that the best use I can think of for the thing is to use it to take a weapon of mass destruction off the table. Seems like the best way to potentially save lives with it.

That was supposed to be Intercontinental. :facepalm:

I would probably trade it for an Incontinent Ballistic Missile that I would then bury in the backyard -- just to keep one of the damnable things out of circulation for the next hundred years or so.

Son of a... conceded, that is a short beam. My bad.
