 | | Inside the Tribunal's Shuttle Bay: PCS Paul Dirac —Adrian Drake
|
| | | Lenny, you should be pleased that I renamed the shuttle, eh? Anyway, this is what parks inside of the (URL) Tribunal's> shuttle bay. It is the Paul Dirac dropship. Comes complete with 2 ground scouts, 2 aerial probes, and a 2 man rover. (URL) Adrian (...) (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.space, FTX) !

| | | | | (...) I'm woozy... thoughts of shrinking myself down to 1 inch and coming to live on the Tribunal keep running through my head... It took me over an hour for the walk through tour of this ship. Awesome. That's it, just awesome. Will we see this ship (...) (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | (...) Indeed. It would be a fun place to live, no? (...) I don't know if the Tribunal will still be together come BF 2005. I'm sure the Paul Dirac will be, because the shuttle doesn't use a huge amount of pieces, but the Tribunal herself is just so (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | | | As one "in the know," and a physics teacher, I can appreciate the Paul Dirac trivia. Good to see some science/physics types out there. Of course, most of us on .space probably wouldn't be into space without being science/physics types. Thanks Lenny! (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

But when lenny told me about Paul Dirac and his accomplishments, it just seemed suitable to name the shuttle after the man who first (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Simple, but sleek constructions, relatively easy on parts for it's size and the playable little rover (which rocks - the balloon (...) (20 years ago, 23-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

In fact, when docking into the Tribunal's shuttle bay, I can hold just the very end of the shuttle (the inverse Slave 1 canopy and (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| | | | It's uncanny how you read my mind. I have had in my head for some time now a shuttle-type ship with a panoramic canopy for unobstructed downward visibility, but limited upward/rearward visibility. It would be utilitiarian in nature, used in an (...) (20 years ago, 24-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
