GIF should be updated to higher color allowances... then life would be swell. Or I could learn animated PNGs (I'm assuming it has to do with the other images in underneath layers and the top layers hiding after a specified time).

Nobody mentioned this, but I see E.T. with little wings, the kind small birds try to flutter in a futile attempt to escape the ground.

E.T killed video games

PNG has all of the advantages of GIF, but without any of its limitations. It even supports true transparancy. The only problem is that a photographic style PNG file will be noticably larger in filesize than a well-optimized JPEG file of the same picture (however will not contain compression artifacts which lower the image quality). As well it should be noted that only the latest browsers support animated PNG files -- this is only important if you are trying to show it to people who are not computer literate enough to use a more modern browser.

Perhaps we could make that a new form of walker?! :-D

Huh, never knew PNG was lossless.

So PNG is the FLAC of picture formats? I always just thought it was some new, lossy format.

So VSMIT, what your saying is that I am pretty much stupid because I did not see Clavin's models for what you think it is? Do you have something against me seeing someones model differently? I simply got a different impression of the model when I first saw it and now see the resemblance now that I know which way it is susposed to go.
Usually when someone posts a picture of a ship they create, they post a picture of the front of it.  And where have you seen a ship where the front is higher than the back?  I'm not calling you stupid.  I'm calling you unobservant.
I find that if I don't have a signature, some people disregard the last couple of lines of a long post.

Yes, that is a good way to describe it.

Why haven't we? Let's see some of those, thanks. Worst come to worst we don't end up liking them. Best come to best we do.

SBT brings up a good point, why have we never seen that?

because the front would just dip forwards because of gravity.

Biometal is not completely immune to gravity. Its just for want of a better term resistant to it,

if the front is higher than the back and the weight is distributed evenly it will dip forwards.

Which it doesn't have to be.

It doesn't have to listen to gravity, but aerodynamically it doesn't make sense. The air would be pushed under it and kill the lift. In a vacuum, though, the point would be moot. Plus, ships in combat are better off low profile. It presents a smaller target. That is, unless the tallness comes from an uber-cannon  :evil:
