Internal or external? If it's external you want, I have some "blueprints" that were realeased as a tie-in for the first movie (The Motion Picture).

The dimensions they give are:
("Beam" is the width as seen from the bow. "Draft" is the tob-to bottom distance)
Overall:
length: 304.8m
draft:   71.3m
Beam: 141.7m

Saucer:
Length: 146.3m
draft: 32.9m
beam: 141.7m

Engineering Hull
Length: 121m
Draft: 47.5m
Beam: 32.9m

Nacelles
Length: 154.8m
Draft: 18.3m
Beam: 12.6m

Odd that you have super lag in 31.XX. It's almost twice as fast as 40d16 for me.

Been reading Mahou Sensei Negima. It's a good manga, but I'm having a very hard time identifying the girls by sight, except for Asuna and the sword girl. Are any of the anime any good?

Likewise, has anyone seen the English dub of Strike Witches? I'm considering picking it up at Best Buy, but I don't know how much they may have changed from the Strike Subs version I watched.

It's too bad that blade and hilt can't be different materials. If they could, incedium would be the ultimate in blades.

Playing in genesis, I embarked on an abandoned Goblin dark fortress. Before I could even begin to get the food moved into the towers, buzzards began stealing it. The only thing saved was seeds and the booze. Right now my seven dwarves depend entirely on a single mule for food until I get the farm going.

Building Destroyers can and will smash a locked hatch from below as long as it is reachable by stair or ramp. For this reason, you should be very careful about paths into the caverns, as it becomes very hard to seal them off quickly.

Definately a bug. The WAGON entry is still in the RAWS, and Depot access still checks for a 3 tile wide path.

Pretty sure that's what he was suggesting.

OK, that eliminates one possibility.

Do you have an arsenal dwarf? Are your stocks up to date?

Yes. Assign the weapon type as usual, then go to the "Materials" section. That will allow you to specify what metal to use.

On your main topic, do you use burrows?

By assigned, do you mean that they don't show up in "assign specific weapon" or that units with the general category (such as steel short sword) won't pick them up? Whichever it is, try the other.

DF Gameplay Questions / Re: Rock swords are wooden?
« on: June 30, 2010, 11:56:17 pm »
In my experience, these swords are in fact extremely sharp, far sharper than wooden ones (a single hit will always ever SOMETHING from an elephant.) I believe, however, that they are much less effective than metal ones against armour, although still far superior to wooden ones.

I think that the cage and anything in it is destroyed, but there's only one way to find out.

In 31.08 why will my cooks not use meat?
Are you using an old save or a mod? Early versions of the 31.xx series had the [edible_cooked] tag missing on meats.

Started a new fort for the latest version. Position of Bouldersprinkled is incredibly awesome. Has copper, iron, and flux, so I can make pretty much any kind of thing I want.

So far have had three artifacts: a bow, a stone amulet, and a blowgun with a picture of the bow on it. The amulet(from the expedition leader no less) and blowgun were secretive moods, and although the bow was a possession, he was already a high master bowyer to begin with, so I'm making a lot of wood/bone crossbow traps.

Had a forgotten beast flying slug with blue feathers and beware its deadly dust! show up from the first cavern. It hovered about, evenually it disappeared from view and the unit list. I also keep seeing messages about cave-ins in a place I haven't seen yet, I wonder if it's related...

Building a main defensive wall around the entrance to my fort. Making it out of olivine.

How deadly is that dust, anyway?
It could be anything from "Damn. I need a bath" to "Every dwarf in the fort rots to death."
