Defender_16

DOUBLE POST! ('cause I need another for 800 posts. ) More MS Paint. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/ExperimentalpreKatanaTF-92Xi.gif TFX - 92 ( Phase 1 ) A spin off of the experimental TF-86-X Recon varients and the first working vehicle produced by the Katana class starfighter design program. Though far diffrient from it's successor, the TF-92 Katana visiably, the X-92 shares 80% of the internal systems and hardware. The larger bulkier engies provided not only enough power for it's twin 20mm Vulcan MAA's, but for high output particle beams as well. These new systems pioneered the way for Terran starfighters to once again become the feared anti-capital ship menace they had been more than a millenia before. (Yes, I'm a big fan of the forward swept wing.) EDIT: Saturday January 6 2006 I won't abide my own throwing in of a tripple post here so an edit it is. http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/TFX-92iiWingsopenExperimentalpreKat.gif TFX - 92 ( Phase 2 ) Second working vehicle produced by the Katana class starfighter design program. This protopype was built to test a scaled down version of the swing wings the Production fighter would use. Also being tested was how the addition of a third sublight engine affected performance. In the end, total power output was high enough that the program designers felt confident they could someday build an FTL system for it. As it was, this prototype once again displayed a marked improvment in firepower over the previous prototypes. (Edit2%3A%20Image%20screwed.%20Will%20attempt%20tomorrow.) (Undo dammit! Why won't you undo more than 4 steps!?!?) TFX - 92 ( Phase 3 ) Third working vehicle produced by the Katana class starfighter design program. This protopype would not have been built if not for the direct order High Admiral Darson. Upon finding out that it might be possible to fit a combat fighter with an FTL system, he directed the designers to build a working model as soon as possible. With fleet command calling for the immediate deployment of new starfighters the TF-92-A was rushed into production before this prototype was completed. The prototypes first FTL jump attempt was a success thanks to the designers redundant power cell backups. Future jumps were tried with a variety of re-configurations to the power systems. All of these advancements were compiled in time to be included when the TF-92-B model went into production. The Terran Alliance could now stage starfighter raids against any target within 12 hours travel of a planetary base.

That's NBC weapons not ABC. You've got the wrong TV network. Ok Eagle, we get the fact that you're EXCLAIMING (!) So here we are back to looking behind us again with the 20/20 hindsight. Yes, the US should have waited until they had about 500,000 troops before invading the country, we know about that. For all we know that many troops could have made the insurgents come out of the wood-work even sooner and there still might have been 3000 deaths total. We don't know, we don't happen to have a time machine handy to find out. *Shrug* I've been listening to this idea about putting a surge of troops into the country, and it's one of the better ideas I've heard in awhile. I'm thinking the idea is that with the increased numbers they can stabilize Baghdad and the immediate surrounding area and buy some time. With a little time to piece things together they can build up what they need for when they pull those extra troops out, and hopefully sort out the Iraqi military in such a way that sectarian violence perpetrated by government forces is kept to a minimum in the future. That's being optimistic, I don't think it's going to work nearly that well in practice. This is a two front war, insurgency and civil war. If it was just one or the other it could be fought much more easily and this planned Zerg rush would take care of it. I don't know about both at the same time. I haven't heard that 50 - 100k civillians is too much so often. ++++Page break+++++ Moving on to Somalia.

Woot! A much simpler way of doing it, thanks LLF. I don't think Fraps worked for me in Rebellion. Works great in Halo I remember.

*Sees title.* "Huh, I wonder what this link is going to be? Regardless I have to go find that 'oh the huge manatee!' picture I saw on the image board a few months ago... man that thing was awesome I wonder where I saved it on my computer... Oh... Damn. Krytos posted it." J, that has got to be the most awesome alarm clock EVER.

I got to take a few graval and go to sleep early so that I could get to work on time. ...and when I got there the freezer had decided to stop working. WRYYYYYY~!!!

Interesting. Are all the spiky bits supposed to be all at one end? Perhaps that's what a Corellian Ramming Frigate looks like? *Serious* All I've got are one of my Starfighter 'MS Paint specials.' http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h293/Defender_16/TF-86Recon1.gif (Note this is a modified version of a basic fighter I made back in '99 based on the A-wing.)

I'll have to send the first one to my cousisns and tell them to be careful the next time they go dirtbiking. Love the meerkat too!

Taliban makes public their New Year's resolution that they're going to try to inflict heavy casulties on NATO troops this year. Hey J, what was the image in your last post here? It looks a tad broken now. (Watching much Gundam lately SOCL? )

So... I'm assuming everyone else has heard the news?

Finally watched the Bond thing. Also the Pingu error was funny Mad. Looks like you're starting to get good at modeling Tofu. Got a special class of Star Destroyer you're going to be working on next?

Ugh, I've had to hold off drinking this week. I had to work Boxing Day and a few other besides. Now I have to find out if I work New years day or not so I can figure out how much I'll be able to drink.

We got what appears to be our lasting snowfall on Boxing Day here. subsequent small storms have kept it on the ground and the local out door skating rink is pritty much ready for use now. Went to the Christmass party for the other half of my family yesterday. We all draw names in August to see who each of us gets a present for. This year I got; Creating the worlds of STAR WARS - 365 DAYS By John Knoll. It's fairly small but weighs more than you would expect. It my have stuff from the prequels in it but the other half about the original movies are still interesting. (I had no idea that they only built half of the full size Falcon in ANH and used matte paintings to fill in the rest. )

Like J I've seen this in the standard Imperial 'Subdue uprising' picture for years.

Nifty. This has potential.

I was looking for what was left of Eleven Thirty One's game attempt a few months ago and couldn't find anything. I was never able to offer anything to the project other than spreading word of it to other sites really and some suggestions about combat.

*CRIES* It's all so beautiful... my hope for Rebellion has been renewed.

By the FORCE!! do we actually have someone working on hacking the game's code now? Wouldn't that be awesome.

My MS paint skills and dreams hath been shattered! ...What? Why in the heck would someone jump onto a tree like that? Comments there said the guy was expelled?

Merry Christmas!!!!!

Did we ever repost any of the Stephen Colbert Lightsaber challenge video's after the crash? Colbert the Paladin The Most Epic And Truthiest Colbert Fight And the ending... Stephen Colbert George Lucas (pt 1)[/url]

...anyways mack to the main topic, I think "Star Wars Fan" works well for me most of the time.

Another reason to not choose the US is all of the additional security checks you have to go through when flying in. No ideas for location from me. I was thinking Montreal for a second until I remembered how bad the roads are there.

Lol! My sister used to have one of those! Kid next door had a more modern version of one of these. Lol. Right. That makes me want to watch some . *Shakes head* I didn't realise that skit was so long.

Looks like this wiki has been updated a bit. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_nanotube http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/76/Kohlenstoffnanoroehre_Animation.gif

Here's a perplexing question. What the heck is with the weather this year!? It was buggerly cold for all of less than a week then it went back above freezing and has stayed there again.
