You want an elegant seaplane?

No, no, you misunderstand, that isn't a seaplane, it's a firetruck that someone duct-taped some wings to .

Nice. "You know your opponent has lost it when he goes "ad hominem"". When people base their decisions on doomsday scenarios... Sce-na-ri-os? Sounds kinda "fictional", at least in the undertones. So, how many more Chernobyls and Fukushimas do you need to rethink? We don't care about failure count, ...

The only way to make nuclear energy 'clean' is to build a nice nuclear powered railgun to fire radioactive waste cores into the sun. It's both safer and easier to do than store it underground like they do in the states... have you actually read about how large said nuclear bunker really is? OR the ...

Yeah, go read the comic again.

The problem is that when you look at the in-universe descriptions of the 'binary' language, one finds that if you're not a droid, you can neither speak it nor fully understand it (though you can get the general gist of what's being said), as 'binary' could accurately be described as a form of high-...

And when it comes to dog-fighting, the A-10 surprises most jet fighters by turning on a dime and aiming their main cannon at them faster than the jet fighter can get their own gun pointed at them. Also, if my understanding is correct, it can happily laugh at a single sidewinder, because of their 'a...

Second seat for a WSO for better situational awareness ala the A-10B Not necessary in the original weapons configuration. A 2nd man on board means an almost total new construction of the aircraft. But useful for training, probably useful for the spotter role, and if you have the capability to carry...

I´m also pretty sure there´s no way you can built in a GAU-8 in an F-35 or anything else. True, but that won't stop the jokes. the basic concept i agree with, the F-35 being an "affordable" multi-role stealth fighter that is adaptable to different roles (IE A model is for the air force ( light and ...

Although I must admit, looking at the F-18 Super-hornet, I'm curious how they'd upgrade the A-10... Maybe a bigger gun? *drools* Two would be good as well 8-) . If I understand the politics correctly the origin of the air force demanding army aircraft as it's own right is due to one simple fact: Be...

According to Wikipedia, they didn't stop it, just reduced the requirements a bit. So it can't meet the requirements and it screwed the other versions, obviously instead of dropping it we should just reduce the requirements. Unfortunately, the answer is probably yes. Remember, the F-35 is intended t...

I don't think that any front-line 'shipyard' would be tasked with actually building warships. It would more likely serve as a depot with repair, salvage & refit capabilities. For example, it might be able to replace the external ordnance rack on a Katana, in the middle of battle. Any ships too damag...

According to Wikipedia, they didn't stop it, just reduced the requirements a bit. As for the F-22, the theory they're claiming is that they don't think a big enough war to need more will come along. The F-35 realistically wasn't even expected to replace it, just to take on every other job. Of course...

Actually, I half-recall Arioch mentioning that Azimol has this big battlestation. Pulls less than 10 g if I recall correctly. I am certain that several Azimol battlestations have been lost in combat. It helps to remember that this setting has shields of some sort, and that these shields presumably f...

Gaahhh. I wasn't seriously shipping Alex/Ashrain. I know full well the impossibilities involved in that particular pairing. Besides, I'd much prefer seeing Alex/Beryl. same result would happen, though she have a "warmer" character, she still a loroi! Actually, I think that for Alex almost any Loroi...

They're going to make him clean the latrines to pay for his room & board. And ooohh boy do the latrines need to be cleaned...

The ship looks rather big, and for the ship's size the armament looks lite, but only in comparison to the ship. Maybe a long-range/ultra-long-range scout/survey/contact ship, perhaps battleship-size or larger? It looks like the Outsider equivalent of Babylon 5's explorer ships: the 'look' of the arm...

As I understand it, what was detected was 'virtual photons', and virtual particles (photons or otherwise) can only be detected after they've been converted into real photons, a process that requires them to obtain energy. Thus, due to inevitable inefficiencies, this actually consumes energy instead ...

Post of doom! I grew up with no more than three houses within shouting distance, probably a dozen or so within sight (if "across a mile-wide river" counts as "within sight"). Yes, it does. I myself was thinking of various houses on distant hills. Never got to see a local animal rolling fruit down th...

farming worlds maybe? Ha, funny! No, farming stations perhaps, but this isn't some massive, sprawling setting like WH40k, so for Terran-space farming worlds (with the exception of Earth itself) seem unlikely. Even with stations, I find it easier to imagine zoo stations than to imagine stations dedi...

No no no that won't work. I say give him back to the Canadians.

That border's more porous than the Mexican one!
