A shot to the head will do pretty much the same thing ;-) But seriously, it still need some powersource and a lot of logistics, I read somewhere that in Operation Iraqi Liberation, one of the problems were the to acquire enough batteries for (...)

You mentioned the small arms in the torso so I figured I'll point out that I modified them to look even more "Masamune Shirowish" recently. on some of his Landmates he has uses for those small arms such as holding weapons so I made it possible (...)

Still, even if you were wearing full combat body armor with that strapped on top, all it would take was one shot to the battery to render it useless (and if they're able (...)

I agree on the fact that, no groundforces are immune to mines, but regarding treaties, they only survive as long as politicians back them up and with regarding the mines, sorry, the bad guys still have them and won’t sign any treaty so they're (...)

Yup and that's the difference of perspective, I talked about: You can't expect to have that kind of airsuperiority as it is now (unless you're an American), and if we're talking about aliens, well, space superiorty pretty much eats (...)

Excuse of the moment is that my wife and I have just moved approximately halfway around the world, which has meant (a) I've been very busy with real life, and (b) that my (...)

Plus, the thruster pack is going to be redesigned, i don't know how yet, either with cones, your suggestion, or something else. Thanks (...) (21 years ago, 29-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)

With help from the ground power of the Reich, we can carve up all the galaxy. ;) Thanks for the things about the gaps and front. It's what I was aiming (...)

| | | | | Re: EBKD Korolev
|
| Overall a great ship! I love the bridge design with its navalish look to it. I also wil agree with a few of the other posters on the gaps and spaces- it gives the ship an armored look that was present during the high period of the Soviet era. I do (...)

|
| The red gear did not go undetected. The Eastern-Reich Treaty of 04, and ships like the Korolev, we'll carve up the galaxy like Poland in 39'. As for the Korolev, I think its true to the EB theme, and the much maligned gaps don't trouble me at all. (...) (21 years ago, 29-Aug-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
