pretty nice of him to make it free shipping within the UK. wonder how much would it cost to send it to the US.

in the earily ep of tv you see the layer is on the walls of the ship so it would be like the ground on the bottom and the 2nd,3rd layer covering the outer edge like a shelf.

1 day after the 1/60 fastpack upgrade kits come out

heh this is funny. oddly they look too clean for fallujah... and overdressed wonder who he ate to get the tux

and you keep missing my point...that vector introduced through rotation will change as the crew moves about the ship...No these little minute seemingly insignifigant forces at work won't instantly change the ships vector, but over time they will...And for short distances these changes don't amount to much...but for long distances it sure as hell does But this wouldn't be a problem if there were enough fuel onboard to perform course corrections mid flight (just like you would have to do with any ship)...but the big remaining problem for such rotateing sections is mechanical in nature, specificly the bearings and seals around the pivot point (eventualy the fricton generated by these moveing parts will effect the rotation speed...so more energy will need to be spent to compensate, cause if those rotateing sections are not spinning fast enough to counter each other then they arn't helping to maintain the flight vector...needless to say that trying to maintain or even repair such bearings mid flight could be a real chore)...The KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) principal should never be forgotten...keep the ship in zero G, keep enough fuel on hand for flight path corrections, and provide rotateing beds for the crew to sleep in (that way if the bearings in the bed need repaired, the whole ship isn't at risk of comeing appart) the rotateing beds should simulate enough gravity that it keeps thier muscles from signifigantly weakening and heart working properly... in a way your both right. i can see it if you dont have a counter rotation section teh ship might waste tons of fuel keeping the non rotation section from rotating. from all the designs i seen that use rotating living areas that the mass would be so large they would spin the nonrotating section instead of the intended purpose.

To avoid confusion one could use anterior/posterior instead of forward/back. For an example of the use of "forward dorsal" in a zoological context, see http://www.rook.org/earl/bwca/nature/fish/...stedioncan.html Note the use of the term and the fact that the fish has a forward dorsal fin and a rearward dorsal fin. Put another way the dorsal fin(s) of a fish is/are on top of its back. Since people walk upright, if we had dorsal fins, they'd be behind our backs. accualy its 1st dorsol fin not forward dorsol. edit: you need acrobat reader fish 101

i what i meant for dorsol is usualy top center to rear before you consider it tail but for missile its either wing, fin, or canard. for the right word instead of forward dorsol would be carnard. david should know avaition tech is always following nature in most of the designs from the begining with birds, to fish like sharks on the jet age, to incects on future spy tech in development. you cant have one without the other.

the clown valk will haunt my dreams from now on.

no problem just a nitpick anyways

ill proly be the only one not watching kill bill vol2. i didnt like the first one enough it was too boring for my taste.

dor·sal (dôr“s…l) adj. 1. Anatomy. Of, toward, on, in, or near the back or upper surface of an organ, a part, or an organism

just a nitpick but forward dorsal is a oxymoron.

agreed about it being photochopped. also if you noticed it looks like its oddly out of place if it was being launched they should atleast got a rear end shot to put on it.

Not realy a starfighter but i like the escape/scout ship design from alien/aliens the one ripley used to escape the very cheap exploding frieghter.

or reflective to deflect it away

I was never a nose laser turret beliver. sure you might shoot down a missile at some hit:miss ratio but the missing part what bothers me. end up killing dozens of satellites. today on the news genius laser turret operator kills satellites by mistake and makes hundreads of homes use local channels to watch TV. Cable company makes millions and Dish companies go bankrupt.

i see 2nd edition for the valk for max in the future.

wow custom box too. that must be good.

glaugs would be very rare by that time. even inthe sw1 era it was rare. i would say they should give him like a vf-1, -4, or a -11 maybe if a regult is theres any left at the time.

i think i remember seeing something simular on a documentary on pbs. like in the mid 90s this guy at atlaska was testing lasers as thrusters using an old starwars era laser and a realy large bank of arc welding transformers. It was pretty cool that they explained when the laser hits the metal conical shaped target it refracts and strips the oxygen into hydrogen and ignite it causing it to propell it up. using a nuclear reactor would reduce the size and weight since they had like 20 arc welders linked up and a single one is very heavy considering its nothing more than a transformer and a couple of switches.

wow. bender would be spinning in his canceled tv graved if he saw that gaybot

the market is willing to bear the high price tag on the yammies so unless macross becomes unpopular or toy companies desided is cheaper to produce valks out of paper and charge 400 dollars causing no one to buy them its staying there.

ok.... no chat rooms for the user of that thing. he might end up breaking it *cough* a1 style *cough*

since is a cf shouldn't be more true if its a flaming pile of wreakage on the ground?

thats cool i didn't know his birthday is 1 day after mine.
