    The producers are the same and they have had big happy grins when asked that question. However CBS' head honchos have been more "Ummm, no" on the question. Probably because that would involve <$$$$$$> more than anything.

    Technically, that's CBS, not CW. This however is CW: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4MubNoWQiSc

    And here's a trailer from CBS's upcoming Fall lineup. From the same people who brought us Arrow and The Flash, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lm46-envrHo Considering the producers are the same as the previously mentioned shows, CBS owns a stake in CW, and well, the producers of these shows haven't categorically denied a crossover...

    Who cares how bad it looks. It's still coming out before a Robotech-movie.

    As I mentioned, when VF weapons have either enough kinetic energy to penetrate armored targets or are specifically designed for use against armored targets (anti-armor munitions), then having ECA makes little difference. The caveat is using anti-aircraft munitions against capital ships. Even if your anti-aircraft bullets/energy weapons can penetrate ECA, the amount of firepower needed to bring down a capital ship with ECA will far exceed what a aircraft can dish out under normal circumstances (a VF-27/YF-29/YF-30's gunpod has the firepower but it requires a tremendous amount of energy to do so and can only do so as fast as it can charge a shot). If a aircraft did strafing runs, yes it could bring down a ship, but that would take time.

    Someone should tell FOX to stop trying. Anyone wanna start the clock for how long this one will last? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fLl-DMzxrk FYI, Fox just release trailers for some of their new shows in the Fall lineup. Lineups for the other networks should be coming this week. Lucifer looks fun, but I see it dying after a season. This one is based of a Vertigo-comic.

    The look of the body glove suit and the shiny look (and a few comparisons online) remind me of this:

    Given how game releases have been for the past few years, pre-ordering isn't advisable. Especially on big titles.

    Or a Pacific Rim ripoff.

    Like I said, until he's actually filming, don't put too much faith behind rumor talk. Case in point from yesterday: Josh Trank Departs Star Wars Anthology Film Trank was signed up and ready to film but then things happen and the studio and director split. So when HG brings in the hype machine at their convention panels, remember stuff like this. And remember all they other times they've named-dropped and yet nothing happened.
  16. azrael
    People have short memories.
  17. azrael
    Enough with the replies. Take the discussion to its own thread (which we probably have plenty of if you search).
  18. azrael
    Typical Hollywood behavior. They shoot for money makers to attract ad revenue. But like most Hollywood rumors, unless the person is actually filming the movie, it's all talk. Even if they're signed up, they still have to deal with everything else that could get in the way before filming starts. Look at Ant-Man. Edgar Wright was on-board right up to filming when Marvel and him decided to split. Typical HG behavior will be spinning up the hype machine at their next convention panel.
  19. azrael
    Wikipedia has you covered.
  20. azrael
    The article glosses over the fact that he has a few other movies he's being tapped for director-duties so who knows if he'll actually stay on-board if they grab him or when he'll even get to a RT movie.

    Like I said, site compromises happens to every site at some point in their lifetime. As for the e-mail thing, I'll just wait for someone to hit "Reply All" then I'll bang my head on the desk.
  22. azrael
    The obvious answer is maybe they should update the backend of the site to something more modern and mobile-friendly. Obviously there's much better forum software out there than whatever they were using. Sounds like they were using one of many hosting providers out there and it got hit which brings up the question what else was being served up on that box besides RT.com cuz those sites probably got hit as well. Of which I say, "Meh. It happens."
  23. azrael
    Nah. Teaches people to keep up with security bulletins. They probably haven updated the backend in a while or left a vunerability unpatched. Security through obscurity is not security.
  24. azrael
    It also can be easily explained that Zentradi energy weapons have more than enough kinetic energy to penetrate tank-grade armor, rendering most VF armor, in battroid mode, moot. Same goes for VF-vs-VF weapons. And Vajra weapons. And Protoculture weapons.

    I think we've had this conversation before, and will likely have it again. ECA technology is basically making a very lightly armored vehicle into a very heavily armored vehicle without adding the weight of stronger armors. Fighter jets are not very heavily armored. If they were, they would have a very hard time staying in the air and making turns on a dime. They can take a AK-47 and say "Tis but a flesh wound.". But if a RPG hit it, a fighter jet would be screaming "RUN AWAY!!!!" before it gets blow to bits. Even a durable A-10 Warthog cannot survive an explosive hit. It could survive if you added more armor, but then you just added more weight. A VF isn't just a fighter jet anymore so it has to be able to withstand more damage than a fighter jet. OT materials are tough, but they still make a fighter jet scream "RUN AWAY!!!!" if they see an RPG. Hence, where ECA comes in. If a VF were hit by an RPG, in battroid mode, would say "OWWWWWW! Son of a b*tch!" instead of "MOMMY!"-while-holding-their-insides-as-they-bleed-out. They still scream "RUN AWAY!" in fighter or GERWALK modes, but would do so much later in battroid mode.
