Did anyone watch that Fire Fly show that got cancelled? I only watched the movie Serenity, which was fairly entertaining by the way, and I was curious as to what the series was like.
Well, if you take into consideration that stars orbit the center of their respective galaxy, then you can say that it moves at least...
I honestly had no idea that the Super Star Destoyer was that huge. Although I did read some of those Rogue Squadron books where they talked about X-Wings being able to destroy those things in much the same way they took out the first Death Star.
So, all in all, I still think the Defiant would have a good chance at winning against one.
Well Equinox, I hope you'll forgive me for not feeling too bad about mixing up your gender. Honestly it doesn't matter to me, but it is nice to know.
Hmm, the only other member I've kinda spoken too at this point has been Phrozen, and that mostly confined to the topic of the Wheel of Time. So, he gets extra points from me for liking a great series of books.
Well, if you ever get a hundred bucks to blow, get the wireless attachment for your 360. Then you would be able to play downstairs all the time. You had a wireless router right?
For now, I just added this thinger to my sig. It works well enough I think.
I've always liked Golden Saints, they made worthy oponents in Morrowind. Did you ever come across anything that mentioned Mazken before this exspansion came out?
This thread has actually been good in giving me some ideas for my story. Though I think there will be more emphasis on ground fighting, ship battles will also take place. I hope to do some interesting things in that area as well.
What other shows had epic space battles? I've been looking for some kind of neat space opera for quite a while now, but nothing has quite compared to Banner of the Stars.
And yeah, I haven't seen too many organic ships. Although there was an arc in Star Trek Voyager where there were these organic ships that the Borg were having trouble assimilating.
And I remember in Banner of the Stars where the United Mankind had those mines that would hide in the wreckage of the ships that had been destroyed until another ship came near enough. Then they would activate and seek out the new target.
As for those asteroid ships, they'd only really be useful inside of asteroid fields. I never really watched Babylon 5, but that ships looks really cool too. I just wonder why it has all those tentacle looking things attached to it.
What I never got was why no one really ever designs their ships to be black. Especially the small fighters. Every bit of camoflauge is important, even if you're still mainly using a targeting computer.
Phasers are common directed-energy weapons first seen in the original Star Trek and later seen or referenced in all subsequent films and TV spin-offs.
Phasers appear as both personal hand-held weapons and as starship-mounted weapons. Hand-held phasers have a variety of settings, able to "stun," "heat," "disrupt," and "disintegrate." Capable of being used as welding torches or cutting tools, they can be set to "overload," whereby they build up a force-chamber explosion internally; the resulting blast will destroy most natural objects within a 50-yard radius. Hand phasers can also be set to fire in "Wide Beam" mode, to defeat multiple targets at once. The phasers mounted on the USS Enterprise also can fire a stun blast capable of incapacitating groups of people on a planet's surface.[5] Similar to the hand phaser, ship phasers can also be fired to evenly disintegrate a target object such as meteors and asteroids. The hand-held phasers include a larger rifle which has similar settings to the smaller phasers. The rifle is more powerful than the smaller phasers, there have been a number of different types of phaser rifles, most notably the phase compression rifle which has appeared in a number of Voyager episodes and in all the recent films from First Contact to Nemesis. In Nemesis, Picard demonstrated the rifle's mechanical weakness as he used it as a melee weapon when fighting the Remans during the final scenes on board the Reman ship and it promptly snapped in half.
Phasers are the most common weapon found in Star Trek.

Siaynoq is just a lousy Mazken though.

Not against the Defiant though, that ship would just anihilate anything in it's path I think.

Um...it was a joke.
And I always enjoyed the ship designs from the Wing Commander series as well. Mostly the light fighters though. I think they looked the coolest.
