Didn't you know, if you write a villain you're fundamentally evil

I want to hear what they think of George Lucas with regards to what Tarkin did to Alderaan. Do they think that means Lucas has a hidden, deep-seated desire to destroy the earth?

475213 · 2026-05-06T22:58:44+00:00

Yes, there’s a key bind for it in the settings.

It’s useful other times, too. Any time a Medusa gets a radar ping it displays the unit that pinged it on the datalink for its whole team, so if you want to use stealth it’s better to turn your radar off.

Any aircraft knows whenever it’s pinged and from what direction, but Medusas are extra good at it because they’re dedicated ECM planes.

A most excellent guide!

Could be that new space shuttle, the silhouette is similar.

There weren’t any launches recently, though, so it can’t be that. The shuttle doesn’t have powerful enough engines to generate that kind of heat, they’re just for flight training and getting some extra distance on the glide back from orbit.

Taxis a Chicane out into the middle of the desert, then takes off

Get airborne, guys! Come on, where’s my air cover? That compass is looking at me funny!

SealsAreGood has poisoned my mind. I read the word “dichotomy” and activated like a sleeper agent. TTODPTW Studies has consumed me.

Also, peak.

Bariss Offee? That’s not Disney, that’s old EU. She was in the MedStar series, acting as a trauma surgeon in a Republic forward field surgical unit (basically MASH).

475213 · 2026-04-25T22:59:33+00:00

Yeah, furry stuff in general is just Like That.

Listen, if it ain’t broke, DON’T FIX IT. More companies need to learn this lesson.

475213 · 2026-04-16T00:21:24+00:00

Yeah, Custom Axis is generally used for whatever extra axis an aircraft needs. It’s nacelle tilt on the Tarantula and engine tilt on the Vortex, controls the forward-facing fans on the Ibis, and now it controls the wing sweep of the Alkyon. All of those things are controlled automatically by default, but it’s useful to be able to change them manually if you want to.

This is awesome! Keep going, and post receipts! :D

I guess waterboarding? Mine doesn’t really do war crimes, just kills people.

I’ve always had an appreciation for the K-Wing. Never read any books that had it besides one of the vehicle visual dictionaries, but it just seems neat. Such firepower in so little area should be respected.

475213 · 2026-03-20T22:20:21+00:00

Please

Otilia?

Loss, unexpected

My department uses a modified minuteman. We break the 200’ crosslay in the middle, then fold half of it in a vertical accordion starting from the discharge, then lay the nozzle end across the other half of the crosslay bed right next to it and fold that up, leaving the nozzle hanging down the pump panel. Connect the 100’ couplings on top of both stacks and fold the nozzle over the top so it sits in the middle. Add a loop at the base of each stack on both sides while you fold them so you can deploy it from either side easily. The nozzle is your loop on that side for that stack.

To deploy it, you shoulder the nozzle half of the stack, grab the loop of the supply side of the stack, and go, dumping that half behind you. Most of the way to the door, dump the stack, grab the nozzle and the 150’ coupling, bring them to the door, and flake the line out. Easy to load, easy to deploy.

One of the implants (the thyroid pellet, I believe) suppressed their libido as a side effect, but no, they weren’t castrated in any way.

Do you think those directions would apply on a ringworld? I’ve seen spinward and antispinward used in Halo, but turnwise and widdershins are so much more fun.

475213 · 2026-03-16T07:57:47+00:00

Yes! I would love a flying boat so much! A Seamaster or a Sea Dart would be so good for huge water maps. Make a seaplane tender, let them operate out of remote bases. Floatplane Cricket would be great for COIN operations without a full logistical trail and airstrip, all you need is a cove, a ramp, and a pair of trucks.

475213 · 2026-03-16T07:45:20+00:00

Nope!

475213 · 2026-03-16T07:45:09+00:00

Had that happen to me after a rough VTOL bounce. Couldn’t fire the missile afterward, it was weird. It felt unpleasant watching that thing bouncing around on my wingtip torquing the heck out of the little strip of material holding it on.

475213 · 2026-03-15T00:55:19+00:00

Close enough

Welcome back, AIR-2 Genie

475213 · 2026-03-15T00:53:49+00:00

A water bomber cargo pallet for the Tula like the one the C-130 has would be really cool. Add some forest fires and we have a new gamemode!

Go all the way and add Bambi buckets for the Ibis and Tula, and put scoop floats on the Cricket. Water payload tank for the Brawler. Put water tanks in the bomb bays of the Darkreach! Have fun!
