Oolite Bulletins

um, isn't the whole point of this stuff that you shouldn't BE taking incoming fire, due to them not knowing you're there until you tw@ them?

Thank you Mr H!

Killer Wolf; yes you are absolutely right. That said in C.D.T. We created a list of things an invention had to do in order to reach a design spec.
(and a list of things it could not do). This stringent guideline caused some problems to the GCSE students at the time. "Rather pain on the (drawing) board than death in the air" : Walter Horten. It looses something in translation but the principle of an invention achieving multiple design requirements still stands.

Let us not forget that; a glass tank is see through, repels IR, and by it's translucent nature, naturally partially camouflaging in any terrain....

Re: "repels IR" - is generally a bad thing - it shows up as a "hole" in the landscape compared to the rest of the scene - and thus it's presence is easily revealed (by its absence)
