| (...) A mecha would have a very hard time getting close enough to make hand-to-hand relevant. A M1A1's turret can do a 360 and stop on a dime from a dead start in 1 second. It's not the most comfortable thing to do for the crew inside but it does (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

He's ex armor, has lots of neat ideas and cool fighting scenes. Imagine hover (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) Cool, I'm glad you like the cargo sloop! It really just started out as simple grey platform with a railing to test the dimensions of the inside of the can, but after a while it became a MOC of it's own. And, I just had to sneak some Bionicle (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) That settles it: I'm coming over your house to play! ;-) That's how I get all my Bionicle, too -- on clearance. I usually only pick up a bunch here and there as I need the particular colors for something I want to build, like if I'm running (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) If military history has shown us anything, it's that nothing is immune to landmines if it moves. It's just a matter of developing a landmine that's capable of being triggered by a hover tank (and trust me, if hover tanks happen, someone will (...)

I think I had about 50 of them already when KB dropped the price to $1 each, so I (...) (21 years ago, 28-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

Aircraft have proven capable of instigating conflict and presenting a solid first wave of defense, but the only way to hold territory is to maintain pressence there. (...)

Depending on the technology involved, it could be faster then a tank with treads running on the same sort of power source would be (there's alot of mass in tank treads, and (...)

| | | | | Re: Tanks or Power Armor
|
| (...) I agree with this part... (...) I am assuming that a tank would not go from its rear area yard/base (on another continent) to the combat zone under its own power, even a hovertank. So I guess I don't see why tanks need to hover. As someone (...) (21 years ago, 27-Aug-04, to lugnet.off-topic.geek, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

As you can tell from my one capship, I am a fan of bridge towers. The huge engine (...) (21 years ago, 27-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
