So Bob suggested that, Quote:Look, you know the rules -- if you wanna go to space, you either ride a motorcycle up some stairs or eat a bookbag full of butter.
should be in this thread and I have to agree. I have to wonder how many places in fenspace have XKCD strips (and What If illustrations) taped and pinned up the way so many cubicles have Dilbert strips decorating the walls.

(Inspired by %[link=http://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/16741848/]this] response to my recruitment drive on Spacebattles.) Reading more of that thread ... I have no problem with a darker-and-edgier variant of Fenspace. But if it happens, somebody please reply to post 17 (I don't have a SpaceBattles account) and let SparraNova know (s)he's already got an opponent who won't be playing things as silly as in http://www.fenspace.net/index.php5?titl ... enspace.21]this wiki post.
EDIT: And as for post 14, somebody let Fascinating Dakka know that, in baseline Fenspace, (a) handwavium exposure is cumulative, and (b) we established over a half-decade ago that the female member of the Hong Kong Cavaliers was born male. But that's baseline Fenspace.

My only real problem was the scene with Hobbs shooting the mini-gun, it used to much ammo and didn't have a power supply.

It'd be like a demented game of whack-a-mole! No MechWarrior would want to play that!

"A antique warship, her keel was laid down in 1891. They where getting ready to sell her for scrap since they couldn't keep up with maintenance costs." You know, the 'USS=warship' thing isn't actually true. It just means the ship is flagged to the US, and is of suitable size. I've heard of cargo ships with the USS prefix, as well.
