Defender_16

Ok I've got to start unloading these posters. It's been so long I'm having trouble figuring out which ones I've used already. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Motivational/Sentientbuildings.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Motivational/RadationDangerSigns.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Motivational/Paranoia.jpg

It's McFly! Geppetto finally get's rid of pinocchio The most epic of life saving maneuvers

Holy shit! not only did I get a day off work but a day in general with nothing pressing to do! ...huh guess I'll work on some New Sith Order. The ancient and crumpled blast doors of the Ord building's lowest levels blew outward from combined laser cannon and concussion grenade fire. A modified AT-ST lead the way through the destroyed door followed by the survivors that had taken cover in the lowest levels. The rubble of the upper levels was strewn across the ground to the south-west stretching out several hundred meters. Broken AT-AT's and floating fortresses littered the ground around the site and troopers rushed to see what could be salvaged. It took General Richardson a few minutes to realise that he was not only hard of hearing despite being equipped with infantry grade earplugs, but that he also seemed to be covered in blood. He'd bit almost clear through his lower lip without realising it during the blast. After another few minutes of disorganised confusion he finally found an officer in charge of the remaining AT-ST forces. "Captain how are your walkers?" He asked and the two men traded loose salutes. "We've got a Dozen or so of the AT-ST's that the shipboard techs modified. Most of them were under cover and survived the blast. AT-AT's are a write off but that floating fortress might be fixable." "We need to get patrols out into the forest, find any Vong walkers that are out there wounded before they do." "I agree with that sir, we don’t have any AT-AT's to draw fire like on Garqi." Richardson looked over the debris covering the area. "See about setting up a command station would you? I'm going to go scare up some medical supplies, I think I broke something in that blast." "Aye sir. Should I call you if we get communications back up with the fleet?" Jerej reached into the small comlink holder on the side of his combat armour and pulled put a broken mess. The pocket was right in line with approximately where it seemed he'd cracked some ribs. "Send a runner for me if you can spare one." +++ Grand Admiral Burgan paced the Auxiliary bridge, watching status displays over the shoulders of the other officers. He had spent the last hour attempting to form his fleet into something resembling a battle group. Refueling the surviving starfighters had begun as soon as the Yuuzhan Vong fleet had jumped out and those units that had taken the least damage now patrolled space around the fleet. "Bridge to Admiral Burgan." The admiral stabbed a button on the console of his command chair. "Burgan here, go ahead." "This is Thegas sir. We've nearly cleared the bridge but some of the bugs have destroyed several control consoles. We'll need to conduct a final sweep to make sure the bridge is secure before the damage control teams start replacing equipment." "Time?" "Ten or twelve hours at the very least sir." "Keep me updated. I want into the bridge as soon as it's habitable again. " "Aye Sir." Though tired from combat, Burgan needed to set things in order before any kind or rest break could even be considered. "Com, attempt to contact the ground forces again, see if General Ricardson is still alive. We'll need to coordinate with them to see if any further orbital bombardments are necessary." "Yes sir." +++ Ensign Keer Orainn rushed from the hastily rebuilt command center and hopped on one of the few working speeder bikes remaining. After a com blackout of several hours, contact had finally been restored with the Imperial Fleet. Kicking in the throttle the ensign headed out towards the western side of the Ord building intent on finding the General. On the way he passed a pair of modified AT-ST's that were heading out on patrol duty. Each one had an additional pair of laser cannon crudely attached to the sides. Extra armour had been welded onto each of the legs and a larger power pack to support the lasers was attached to the back of the AT-ST's 'head.' General Richardson had personally overseen a crew of techs modifying the vehicles for most of a week following the first ground conflict at Garqi. To the west and south of the Ord building where once had been a grass field was now a debris pile. Huge blocks of stone and other materials that had made up the upper leves of the structure had been taken clear off by the airburst caused by the Superlaser. In between some of the largest blocks the troops had set up a medical station, possibly hoping the debris would provide some cover in an attack. Ensign Orainn found General Richardson inside tending to the wounded along with two other medics and some less badly hurt up Stormtroopers. "This one is going to need blood ASAP!" yelled Richardson and an orderly rushed out attempting to find more supplies. "Sir, we have communications back up. The Grand Admiral wishes to speak with you as soon as possible." The General nodded. "Tretcher!" He shouted "Look after this one, I'll be back in five minutes." Richardson stood and took the comlink the other officer held out for him. "Thank you ensign. do you have any medical training? "Not really sir, just triage." "That's better than nothing. Get in there and do what you can." The General turned away and activated the comlink. "This is Goundside go ahead." "Jerej, I was starting to wonder if you'd made it or not." came the Admiral's voice. "What's your status down there?" "Calling it a mess would be too generous. We lost all of our heavy vehicles in the blast and the shuttles are out of comission until we get repair teams down here to work on them. We've only got AT-ST's and speeder bikes that were in the Ord building's bunker." "Any chance our forces closer to the blast survived?" "Not unless their bunkers had better concussion shielding than Star's End. Have things in Orbit cleared up? "For the moment." The Admiral sighed. "It's going to take us a few days to salvage all of the ships we lost up here. I'll start sending teams down to reinforce your position and begin repairs in another 2 hours. I want a status update on the situation groundside this time tomorrow." "Understood, and Admiral?" "Yes Jerej?" "This was some serious fighting today. We gave and took some heavy hits. Do you think we're finally starting to cut into their numbers? "We have to hope so. In the name of all the good the Emperor has wrought, we have to hope that these Yuuzhan Vong are not limitless. That we are not facing and endless Dark Tide." 100

Gotten into Dawn of War 2 over the past couple weeks. I Havent been spending a lot of time on it but it plays well. The campaign maps seem much smaller in scale in this game compared to the first one. This is due mainly to the reduced number of units you have access to. The Force Commander, Tactical squad, Scout squad, Devastator (support weapons) squad, Assault Squad (with jump jets) and later in the game a Dreadnaught. As you get access to all 6 diffrient squads choosing the right ones to deploy on the mission with quickily becomes a difficult issue. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/DOW2-SM.jpg A Force Commander and Tactical Marines http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/841348-tarkus_large.jpg Tarkus the Tactical Marine Sergeant. All of the Sergents and the Force Commander level up as you complete missions in Campaign. Choosing what skills to spend points on however can be a bit difficult.

Hi guys, been busy. Thought perhaps you might find this interesting. Just finished converting ANH from VHS onto my PC. I'm thinking of specificly recoding each scene as it was before it's alteration for the Special Edition.

Dramatic Standoff Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water The good the bad and the pwned

I've been playing a lot of C&C 3 lately, specifically the expansion pack Kane's Wrath. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/2a/Kane%27s_Wrath.jpg I've also been trying to get Homeworld 2 working on Vista to try out the various Mods. Most of them crash once there are too many units on screen. Havent gotten around to trying Warlords again, but I wasnt too happy previously with it's lag problems.

Ok guys I'm trying to get back on the bandwagon here. Dragged out the old MS paint today and my old ship files. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Y-GuyUglyDiagram.gif Had the idea for this particular Ugly after I bought a minmatar shuttle in EvE and was flying it around. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Y-wing-tiehybridugly.jpg

Hi guys. Promised Tex I'd pop-in to prove I was still alive. Also, some ytmnd randomness. ATHF vs 24

So... I started playing EVE Online a few days ago. This is personally noteworth because I've never signed up for an MMO that has online fees. I actually like the setup they have. None of the grinding to level up or anything like that, instead they have skills that have to be trained. You choose which ones you start off with at character creation and if you want additional skills you have to buy and then train them from locations in-game. Each skill level takes longer to train unless you've really leveled up your "Learning" skill before hand. I've spent the past couple of days trying to take the soldier type character I created and get him good at mining. Hard work but Idon't feel like starting over and the combat skills are handy to protect myself from pirates. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/EVE-Latestships.jpg Just got what I consider to be a freakin' huge transport today. If I can fill the darn thing with minerals I can make .5 million in one haul.

To my knowledge they arn't used outside of Germany much if at all. Most mining over here is either pit mining or closer to a traditional nature just more mechanized. Ie; Dig a deep hole and branch out tunnels from there. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Motivational/1214962356771.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Motivational/1215036096166.jpg http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/Motivational/NAPALM-1.jpg
