Re: Aliens!

We NEED faster than light technology Sadly, I suspect that this is almost certainly a physical impossibility - not just in the way that (some) people in the 19th century claimed heavier-than-air flight was impossible (especially since, y'know, birds :roll: ), but genuinely and completely not possib...

Re: Aliens!

String theory is easy - it's got two ends, joined by an indeterminate length. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: That is an easy one, Cody! And I have no problems with that one. It's the Boson one that I struggle with, where you need a 26 dimension space time continuum even though the strings them...

Let's not. There are too many scientific debates already waylaid by sometimes idiotic assumptions.

Re: [Release] Dragonships

Hi Rorschachhamster. First off, BIG Kudos for the ships!!!! I just luuuuuuuuuv the look of them. :D Unfortunately I seem to have a problem with this extension pack when running it in 1.84.

That was weird

Feature or Bug? I was tracking down a Random Hit target and when I got him, I gave him a full blast of the lasers as you do. He ran as they sometimes do and jumped out. When I followed him through the wormhole I had a misjump and landed in bugspace with 5 bug warships surrounding me. Since I finally...

You did? Hmmm, well, what can I say. There's no accounting for taste, I guess. :lol: On the other hand, it IS your sombrero, so I guess you can get away with that. Just. :wink: :lol: :wink: :lol: :wink: :lol: :lol: :wink: :lol: :wink: :lol: :lol: :wink: :lol: :lol: :wink: :lol: :wink: :lol:
