| Although I dont like Evlis much, I think its a good mosaic. However, I cant stand sites that use flash. (20 years ago, 27-Aug-04, to lugnet.build.mosaic, lugnet.build)

| I'm surprised no one so far has answered the "tanks or power armor" question by saying, "missiles!" As information, positioning, sensor, and guidance technology continues to improve, it gets easier and easier to hit a ground-based target from long (...)

There will be rules that apply to that creation to make it 'real' enough, whatever that may (...) (20 years ago, 27-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

Fair enough, but we do all make certain levels of "realism" necessary in our creations, be they space suits for all little spacemen, enclosed cockpits, engines, or even making sure there are wings on our Galaxy Enforcers. :D (...)

| (...) That's the idea behind gauss weapons--railguns and the like. Ostensibly they also make ammunition lighter because they do away with the propellant charge, and that loss of weight is made up for in the higher velocity of the projectile. (...)

I've never felt the need for realism to dictate any limitations on my models, but that's just the .SPACE in me :) (...) If realism, or even (...)

I suspect that if we develop a technology that can manipulate gravity enough to hold a tank off the ground (I really don't think the fan and skirt design would be practical in battle), then surely it would also be able to absorb or counteract (...)

I'm not sure a true humanoid shape would be the optimal way to go, given how tall it'd have to be to accomodate a human pilot, but a walker of some sort could have the advantage of being able to claw its way around, (...)
