I never said he actually got one of his designs to fly...but the principle was there. I merely said that he had invented the precursors to what would later be called airplanes. To invent something is not the same thing as making a physical, working model of said thing. To invent something is...

I believe the question was "Who invented the first airplane." This being the case, the person who said DaVinci is correct. DaVinci invented the airplane...but he could not create a functioning one (because of the lack of a powerful enough propulsion system). If you want to to ask "Who made...

Wow. Just simply...wow. That post was just...wow. I cannot believe what I just read. So many feelings...mostly though it was me hitting my head in disbelief. But that's still a feeling.

Generally, deflection shots do more damage to whoever is getting shot by them. As was mentioned, it all depends on the angle you fire at the target. The reason for the increased damage is because the round will be deflected inside the target being shot. If the round is going in one direction...

Thanks for the clarification Death. It was puzzling me for a couple of days...finally decided to ask about it.

Actually, FASA still exists. Unfortunately, though, FASA is nowadays considered a subsidiary of Microsoft. Just look at all the FASA materials Microsoft has published in recent years. You have the Mechwarrior 4-era games (which account for 2 games...Black Knight was done by an outside...

That is absolutely precious. Not precious as in "Those emeralds are precious." Not even as in "That puppy is precious to me." No. Rather in a "Wow, that is another 10 minutes gone from your life that you will never have back." type of precious. Now to cleanse my visual palette (so to...

Er...you know I was refering to your statement pertaining to the rumors of a Robotech movie...right? As for the Battletech universe...I can only hope that Microsoft and/or FASA will produce a 5th game (and that the 'mech designs go back to what Mechwarrior 3 had).

Here's a question for if it gets turned into a movie: will it go the route of Evangelion and be a live-action movie?

I personally feel that the 'mechs before the whole reconstruction of the game were the best looking (this also includes various clan mechs as well). Marauder, Warhammer, Phoenix Hawk, Rifleman. They were all visually cool looking. But then again, I suppose that could be because they were not...

Taking a cue from Bob McDob, I just ran a search through 4 search engines (google, webcrawler, metacrawler, yahoo) on the subject of "Star Adventure 4010." The only return I got was from WCCIC's own forum thread "Why didn't Confed fight the Kilrathi more intelligently?" I am afraid that we...

Hear hear, Expendable. Finally, somebody who knows something about BT rises up to debunk this naysayer. Still, with the whole Clantech stuff, I find it acceptable if you are restricted to 1 or 2 pieces of clan-tech. I mean, they use different power structures (as could be seen by the...

If you had read what I had written in my post, I said that Kurita was analogous to the Japanese shogunate. That is the imperial era. Okay, let's take a look at another universe that has a VERY limited racial profile: Bladerunner. There were 'whites', Asians, and Mexicans. Does that make...

Actually, in Battletech there are distinct governments (some have real world counterparts). Comstar is the equivalent of the UN. Kurita is the equivalent of the Japanese shogunates. For the reference to the race issue...in Battletech, there are as many different races as there are in the...

Absolutely wonderful Macross (SDF-1) model. Will the scale of the ships still be present? e.g. the zentraedi battleships were approximately 1.6 kilometers long (I think...I could be wrong on that though)...so, it would take a while for any veritech to fly the length of the ship. I guess what...

It's too bad the engine is limited to space flight. It would be exceptionally cool to be able to change into battloid form and shoot down incoming missiles. But, I suppose I'll just have to wait for the US version of the new Macross game on PS2. However, as far as this screen goes, awright...
