You're classifying this with that big ugly 4 piece CCA ship thing 

You're relating a class to one example?

Interesting. I actually knew a lot of the stuff I read in that, how boring space combat is.

90% of combat is just orbital maneuvers and fuel cost management. Ships would be captained by mathematicians, Newtonian physicists, and statisticians to figure all the complex movements of the ship and the tactile advantage.

In one mod I am working on I use some of what was described in that article, but in other parts I rely on the science fiction field generated by biometal that makes Star Trek like maneuvers possible (the field in ST is why they act like boats). I currently have large ships governed by the laws of orbital momentum and such while using the science fiction elements to control the fighters and handle complex operations like deceleration pulses (if in a very fast elliptical orbit with fighters out I have written that pulses in the ship's field will decelerate it and all fighters around, though the fighters on a delay).

I think too much.

EDIT:
BTW, in space they often would meet like boats. The cause of this is the 'solar plane' that most ships would purposely travel in if heading to any planet or moon destination.

Ahh fun...

I suggest icoFX to everyone, it can save in MAC or WINDOWS ico formats, it can do alpha channels, and it is free.

Everyone who wants to ever make an icon, run out and get it.

Let me better explain, unit classes we currently know of are thus:

Recycler
Scout (scount)
Tank (tank)
Light Tank (ltank)
Missile Scout
Rocket Tank (rckt)
Rocket Bomber (harz)
Bomber (bomb)
Mammoth
Walker (walk)
Turret (turr)
Artillery
Scav
Tug
Service

These classes are mostly in BZ2 stock, thought the Rocket Bomber and Light Tank are rare. And the Scions added a new Sentry unit that is not classified in that grouping.

Mammoth is a BZ1 thing, specifically ROTBD, that is a massive tank that is slow and normally has like 4 cannons all linked.

I can't either.. I want to smite him if he is.

Way ahead of you. Maybe I shouldn't have asked.

I think I'm ahead...

Made the TA5 icon...

I must note though, something like that on one of my models would be a... pontoon...

Models should be high poly if they need it, but not if they don't.

Interesting, doesn't fit my designs but interesting.

Doesn't sound like a Bomber at all though. Sounds like a Mammoth.

How did you read that? And IIRC it is more than 2 hours... Whatever it is they never claim that their editorial is news or inject it into normal news like every place else.

I hate the news.

"opposite to Fox's slant"
note: FOX only airs news reports as a show 2 howers a day the remanning bord cast is a emotinol responce to the news not news. ref as stated under their survice dicumation.

I have no idea WTF you said, but FOX News is not the opinion based parts they often get slammed for. Those have always been entertainment. You see what kind of bullhoot they get if they show the wrong video or picture for  a split moment.

IcoFX for final conversions to ICO. Save as PNG otherwise.

It is getting late, after all. I'm tired too.

LMFAO, I added the spelling bit to look slightly less like an ass and then spelled it wrong anyway >_<

Damn you spellcheck, changing my words.

It's 109 counting base slots, not 110.

I could not say It any better if I tryed!!!1!

That isn't saying much.

Also, it's 'tried' .
