Bay 12 Games Forum

My main gaming PC is on the fritz, but maybe someone can launch test this by launching two identical crafts, with the only difference being one has 2 tanks of half length and the other with 1 tank with double length.

According to you they should go to the same height, according to me, the single tank one will go higher.

TEST PREASE!

Actually, they would both end with the double-tanker going higher, because the surface area of the two cylinders is longer because it has twice as many circles.
Degree should be pretty clear, though.

I got the basic spaceplane parts, but sadly I cannot seem to make one.
Helps?

1. Go to hangar.
2. Slap together parts that look like a plane.
3. Crash plane. Return to 2.

Actually, I had some success with planes towards the beginning. Never spaced one, though, but I imagine it's "just" a matter of getting it to fast speeds, then launching kinda like a rocket.

That is useful, but well...situational.

A mecha isn't very versatile either.

"Combat" comes up more often than "We need to get something in ELEO!"

And less fun to figure out.

Easier to figure out as well.

Well, yes. That's why it's less fun. There's hardly anything to figure out, really.

Comparatively, a series of rudimentary satellites with the enchantments necessary for them to ignore air resistance could survey areas quickly for imaging, crash into targets to eliminate them, act as bracelet teleport beacons if equipped with one (obviously they would be to used after a controlled crash) and help track targets. Unlike a mecha, there is no pilot inside them to risk, they are less vulnerable to hijacking (a one way ticket to the pavement/soon-to-be-crater isn't something most people are keen on), have a faster response time and, by the time their high velocity mass is close enough to their target to be seen, not as vulnerable to antimagic.

Wouldn't they be moving too fast to be useful for much imaging?
Wouldn't crashing into stuff...break it?
Wouldn't tracking targets require them to stay fairly near said targets?
Wouldn't antimagic make their orbit decay faster than you can say "supersonic"?

well, when it's necessary, we don't *have* to use the mech.

True enough, I guess. Not a very good argument on its own, though.

also I agree, a UG is cooler than a mech. ((muhaha, and so much more interesting once the ICARUS plot comes))

...UG?

"Not much. My parents are still in the hospital..."

((Yup.))
"So...what's been going on?"

She may also overshoot in the other direction.
"Hi!"

Lunette was kinda way-laid by Rachel, but whatever. "Hello. How are you?"

"I'm fine. You?"

Lunette finally leaves her room and wanders around the castle, looking for some closer to her apparent age. She may run into Blossom or Izzy or Maria or something like that.

She may also overshoot in the other direction.
"Hi!"

How much are they, again?

25 [any currency], as of last time we viseted the shack. We have 26 Fountain Pence on us, which is just enough.

I wonder what the chance is Oric raises the price to 27, just to spite us.

Possibly-better subboard.

Is there any way to play on such a server without buying/pirating Minecraft? Free/Demo version, maybe?
