Gariuys	Posted - 2006.02.07 14:43:00 - [31] Originally by: Maestro Ulv Ya know the whole idea of RP is to have ships the way you want them nto stick to some fiction made at the start of the game, and that has already been "altered" to fit better as the game progresses. I have crew, I also dont sit in a pod. Hell thats so yesterday, you guys never seen the quick release emergency systems! Grab a catologue from the next passing Jove and upgrade already. Without a solid framework there is no rp, instead there's just a load of fools talking gibberish. Good prime fiction is a vital part of rp. ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool
Maestro Ulv	Posted - 2006.02.07 14:48:00 - [32] I agree and some of the fiction is good (if you ignore the 3 paragraph long chronicles). There is more than enough back story to RP this game without the people coming on here and stead fastly sticking to that same back story. http://phaze9.moonmanstudio.com/
Hans Roaming	Posted - 2006.02.07 14:52:00 - [33] So you can open them to keep the ship cool in summer. President Huzzah Federation Be all you can be, join the Huzzah Armed Forces today!

Gariuys	Posted - 2006.02.07 14:58:00 - [35] Originally by: Xzaron D'aar when i remember right,i was told in the tutorial that i sit i a pod filled with some kind of plasm You do, ectoplasm it is, and you got a huge cord sticking out the back of your neck hooking you up to the ships computer. But outside that pod peeps are running around doing stuff, and when you feel like it you can get out of the pod. ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool
Filan	Posted - 2006.02.07 15:04:00 - [36] crews probally do have escape pods but they dont show up as they arent that big. and more like the ones in startrek or like the Soyez capsule on the ISS. Stations and Stargates also have windows as they require people to run and maintain.

Hell thats so yesterday, you guys never seen the quick release emergency systems! Grab a catologue from the next passing Jove and upgrade already. So if some pirate takes you by surprise and instaganks you, we're not going to see a capsule with your name on it? Somehow I doubt that... And how is not using a pod an upgrade? -------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

Khabok	Posted - 2006.02.07 15:16:00 - [40] This is going to be my new standard reply: Quote: Four months later, Daren Athaksis was confirmed as one of six-thousand three-hundred and fourteen reported casualties resulting from the destruction of the Apocalypse-class battleship "Dam-Imud." His post was filled within three days. His family was not notified. Taken from: Hands of a Killer Yes, most ships have crews.

Satch Boogie	Posted - 2006.02.07 15:29:00 - [41] Edited by: Satch Boogie on 07/02/2006 15:37:04 Our ships have windows because they are unable to find a copy of linux this far away from earth.

It's forum slang afaik, and I'm dutch. So definetly didn't pick it up in a obsucre northern English village. ;) good link ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool

Well looking at that wiki link, it is british in origin indeed. And it's definetly slang so you're probably right. ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool
Commander Lock	Posted - 2006.02.07 16:41:00 - [46] How do you know they're windows? If they are, then the amount of light streaming out would probably fry whoever was unfortunate enough to be in that room. That's what's always bugged me about sci-fi ships, their windows have light that seems way too bright.
Andrue	Posted - 2006.02.07 17:13:00 - [47] Originally by: Amataras Originally by: Gariuys Cause our ships have crews, pretty large ones too, only the small frigates run on just you in your pod. For all other ships your pod has reduced the number of crew required and has improved control but you still have crews ( up to 3000 in battleships ) in a combat situation, fragile windows are the last thing you'd want on your ship Not to mention being totally bleedin' useless in the first place. Or at least in reality they would be, lol. -- (Battle hardened miner) [Brackley, UK] WARNING:This post may contain large doses of reality.
Praesus Lecti	Posted - 2006.02.07 18:41:00 - [48] My ship has windows so that I could install lots of window sills to display my enormous collection of bobbin' head dolls,suction cup Garfields,various "on board" signs and fuzzy dice.

Or at least in reality they would be, lol. Windows aren't necessarily weaker than the rest of the ship. My house has windows made of Lexan polycarbonate, even the very thin panes we have (probably something like 1/4 inch) are built to withstand a tree trunk thrown into them at 150mph by a hurricane. As they get thicker, they get exponentially stronger, if I recall correctly. 2-3 inch thick Lexan panes would be incredibly strong, yet still be very light. As for useful...well windows in your house aren't particularly useful, they just make you feel better. You'd appreciate windows even more because in your house, you can walk outside. In the spaceship, all you can do is look out the window. -------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk [04:21:15] Mebrithiel Ju'wien > Nik's bio 4tw btw [07:38:53] Graelyn > Nikolai for Dev 108!

Mebrithiel Ju'wien	Posted - 2006.02.08 02:03:00 - [50] Ships have crew! Ships have crew! Ships have crew! Ships have crew! Ships have crew! Ships have crew! Ships have crew! Ships have crew! Ships have crew! Ships have crew! I think I've said my point. and have you seen gallente stations recently??? LOOK AT THE WINDOWS ON THOSE!!! Now if they can create huge bio dome glass-stuff that can resist countless exposions and blasts externally, think a tiny port-hole on a ship should be capable. Jeez, can't believe you guys question such mundane stuff when you can talk instantly to your corpmate millions of AU away in another region. You're like a bunch of historians or something... Gods, I could murder me an Amarr... misquoting moderators -eris

Tenacha Khan	Posted - 2006.02.08 02:21:00 - [51] Cause thy look cool Of course I take bribes, but not some spare change that you offered me, I want much more than that - Wrangler

Somehow I doubt that... And how is not using a pod an upgrade? The quick release system chucks you into a pod. Of course you do have to be sat in the command chair for this to happen but hey if its my watch I am sat in the chair. RP dear boy! http://phaze9.moonmanstudio.com/
