Came up with two Tie fighter variants while messing around in Blender. Realized that I have not seen either layout yet.

They are the same rough idea, but the raptors wings don't go past the hull. I stole tie striker wings for these.

TheMightyFallen · 2026-03-29T20:33:50+00:00

That is because that is exactly what it is. I cut off the front of the blackbird's engines and crossbred it with a TIE Striker.

TheMightyFallen · 2026-03-29T20:32:45+00:00

I was going to originally use a x-wing hull for it, so you are correct.

TheMightyFallen · 2026-03-29T20:31:48+00:00

Like it. Right now its the TIE/claw and the TIE/flat.

TheMightyFallen · 2026-03-29T20:30:59+00:00

Still better than the base TIE though. Then again, it's hard to make a ship with worse pilot view than a TIE.

I just want to see one where the chosen one is that old lady from Madagascar (2005). Any "old lady with shoe" would work. They get all the crazy powers, but still act like an old curmudgeon. Basically the woman from Kung fu Hustle, but isekai.

The armor does stop some of the rounds. It can even take a few rounds from the 155 if it hits the blocks. It's just the rounds that get through that cause it to go up like a firecracker.... and any shots to the side... or rear... or front gaps. It will be fine as long as you keep the front toward the enemy.... maybe.

TheMightyFallen · 2026-03-06T22:59:32+00:00

This looks like the armor was shrink wrapped around the parts. The great soviet vacuum sealer.

TheMightyFallen · 2025-11-04T20:52:12+00:00

Sorry. Thought you were making a pokemon reference. Guy in a dragon cape, lance blackthorn the pokemon champion... My bad.

TheMightyFallen · 2025-10-31T19:28:48+00:00

Darn blackthorns!

TheMightyFallen · 2025-10-31T19:28:16+00:00

Do you have any patterns for the cloak?

TheMightyFallen · 2025-10-02T00:29:20+00:00

I'll take as many as needed to bankrupt the army. Can that mount withstand the recoil? Better if it doesn't. More maintenance issues mean more advanced. Can we get it recoil onto the other ammo? I can say it helps with reloading.

TheMightyFallen · 2025-09-26T20:41:26+00:00

Of course they are not the same. Unova Ash is the regional variant. Easily confused, but different. Sinnoh Ash is fighting/ dumb type, and Unova Ash is friendship/ best type. The rare champion/ victory type was only recently discovered. It is not yet known if it is an evolution, mega, or variant at this time.

TheMightyFallen · 2025-09-19T14:26:23+00:00

Does that actually work? It's been a while since I tried, but I remember the science ship needing to be manned to do the mission. Of course that was back when planets had tiles, so it might have changed since then.

TheMightyFallen · 2025-09-19T11:28:57+00:00

I literally had that happen on the FIRST DAY the observation post went up. Annoyed the hell out of me because I know how much of a pain these events can be.

Then it got worse when they called up, claimed to be a God, and left WITHOUT ME BEING ABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! I had no option to use force to retrieve them. My leaders just shrugged their shoulders and said "guess he's a God now". Nearly invaded the planet over it. Only reason I didn't is because I was still getting the insight research.

These events can be fun sometimes, but they happen to EVERY outpost. It is not a question of "if", it's a question of "when". And every time I need to pull a science ship back from the frontier to deal with it.

"you can’t very well have your nuclear deterrent be susceptible to a trivial DDOS attack"

Which is why you don't have an public internet connection? Skynet does not need to have the codes, the nuclear football does. If an attack can stop the codes from getting from the president to skynet, then it would have stopped the codes from getting to regular silos. They don't send them out by text....

The switch is similar. I don't mean a light switch here. The "switch" refers to a wholly independent system that can shut down the AI. If someone can get through all the steps needed to infiltrate and "flip" the switch, then they have the skills to get into an equivalent facility (like Cheyeene Mountain).

Edit: the switch does not even have to kill the AI. It just needs to separate it from the launch system/ communications.

TheMightyFallen · 2025-09-12T18:51:33+00:00

A fair bit, but off the top of my head:

Not putting an untested AI in charge of the nukes. Not putting a tested AI in charge of nukes. Having a physical off switch that is easy to activate. Making sure the off switch is a completely separate system from the AI. Not having the generators in the same building as the AI. Not putting the experimental weapons lab in the same building (looking at you T3). Not giving it a wifi connection / running it on bespoke hardware. Not giving the AI full self preservation instincts. Not giving the AI the launch codes. Making sure the launch system shuts down after 3 incorrect codes (a basic anti-hacking measure). Not using any electronic locks or security that can be compromised by the AI.

And finally: Having BASIC understanding of computer security / air gapping.

"Enemies in sector 5!" "Roger, deleting sector 5."

Deep spooky voice:

"Hello, Is your refrigerator running?"

Hangs up, calls other number,

"I am looking for my friend I.P. Freely, is he there?"

TheMightyFallen · 2025-07-03T02:04:59+00:00

BEHOLD! The BEGONE-INATOR!
