This is true, but it doesn't diminish the validity or accuracy of all the other points ;) Yes, USCG is probably the closest contemporary equivalent in terms of a 'military'... Not what we would necessarily call a military in the 21st century, but undeniably 'military' in nature and scope of operations... B)
Awesome work, and yes, I've done something similar with most of my ships... B) Cara's main ship, is a, well, it doesn't really conform to any particular class... The in-game framework, is a Yorktown Class, but the only thing which is Yorktown on it, are the nacelle pylons... The nacelles and secondary hull are Odyssey…
You know what she's trying to prove, and with this post, pretty conclusively does so... Now getting those who deny Starfleet being a military (or even military-like, such as the USCG) to accept Olivia's conclusions as valid, is a different matter...
If you actually disproved something I had said, with corroborating evidence, then I would stand corrected: You have never done so. When I called out another poster for using reductio ad absurdum, you jumped in declaring that they were not doing so (which they were) and they then admitted that they were, ergo, your…
I agree, it's not the closest comparison, all I'm saying, is that TRIBBLE, as you will know, having been posting the releases, has been 'hitting speedbumps', and that gives me concerns for both the future viability of the project, and the potential quality of a finished product... Being pessimistic over what seems like a…
I think 'because the writer says so' has pretty much always been the case with Star Trek ;) And absolutely, the genre does seem to attract more than its fair share of pendanty nit-pickers... ;) And re: Your edit, absolutely so, and George Takei has told us (with no reason to be disbelieved) Gene'/ thoughts and feelings…
Space Command's paid for too, but very little seems to be getting done with it ;) Absolutely, time will tell on TRIBBLE, but I have to admit, everything that's happened thus far, doesn't fill me with confidence... :-\
Simon Pegg has said otherwise... Actually, the point I was making, wasn't about who creates the character, but whose opinions about characters, and the character's creation, can be considered as 'expert opinion', which can't be questioned or over-ruled by a fan's internally consistent theory... Nice Article confirming…
I have neither the time, nor the crayons to explain it to you, and you're too arrogant to accept that your opinion is wrong, and has been proven thus by the very people who created the character... Nothing I can say will change your mind or make you see that, so I'm not going to waste further time engaging you on the…
It's already entered the zeitgeist, so not much they can do about it now ;) No worries, I feel the same about people who think their opinion trumps that of those directly involved... B)
I have real doubts about this project ever coming to fruition... I think Marc Zicree's Space Command is further forward than TRIBBLE (and he has donors questioning where their money is being used and when anything will be released...)
They haven't filmed the pilot yet, let alone released it... I don't believe they're even finished casting (or at least, that's the impresion I've got from Fuller's releases on the subject...)
Yes, each and every time, because Each and Every time, You Are Wrong... It's that simple... Don't you dare say I have no interest in canon! I have the utmost respect for canon, as well as the utmost respect for the men and women who wrote that canon and brought it to life! Don't you f*cking dare say I 'have no interest in…
The boy Jim drives by was his older brother (or at least was intended as being) Although the dialogue was re-dubbed, it's easy to lip-read that he calls the other boy 'Sam' (Jim was the only person who called his older brother Sam) and for some reason, that a55-hat JJ haad it re-dubbed (perhaps they couldn't get the rights…
Canon is not everything... George Takei has clearly said that Gene wrote Sulu as being straight, and that he played him as being straight... That is the only opinion on the subject which matters, and it decisively answers the question... Not yours, not mine, but George Takei's. He gets 'the final say', and you need to stop…
That doesn't matter! The point, is that people paid for ships which can do this, none of them are free, and some codemonkey f*cked it up with some unnecessary tinkering session! Don't try and make it sound acceptable 'because reasons', there's nothing acceptable about it at all! Example: Someone buys an album on iTunes...…
Those quotes of Shatner, settle the debate, as to the intent of the phasers and their uses... Everything else, is just superfluous to that point... Shatner was the director, so if that was his intention --and those quotes are pretty clear -- there really is no arguing otherwise...
When you say 'not working', could you be more specific? Is the ship no longer separating? You may have noticed the thread about the Andromeda separation, and in that, it was mentioned (and which I tested) that on the PC, when engaging MVAM, the 'other sections' of the ship, simply fly off and vanish (no longer interracting…
Just tested it on the Prometheus, and exactly the same thing: They disappear, and (I tested it under combat situation) they are gone, and take no part in the battle, rather than simply being invisible... Whoever's responsible for this glitch, needs firing... The amount of mistakes which occur after updates and patches,…
