The_Major

Uggg... finaly im back and with finished work (ive been in the hospital for the past week and a half with Pneumonia or however the hell you spell it) i will get into contact with Fokker as soon as i can. This project has sat idle for waaay too long

Ahh thanks for the info Cdr. that is unfortunate but hey these things happen soo what can ya do right? oh well.

Hahah im not lazy, just preoccupied at the moment. though im about to put the finishing touches on two zentradi ships. BTW lestat, the strategyplanet site's forums are down in a big way.

LOL! is like a Working SD VF-4! i love it!

I really like this idea, and i agree whole heartedly. Having someone do this would do us a lot of good.

Heh Macross Extream Beach Volleyball! Now THAT is something i wanna see Misa & Millia Vs Claudia & Kim, with Minmay refing!

The problem with a military application of a scopedog type mech is that a single RPG would ruin it's day. It would be impossible with current tecnology to make armor strong and light enough to protect it and due to it's upright nature the armor couldn't be sloped enough to deflect the rocket. I think the stuff the military's messing with is more akin to the power-lifter thing from Aliens.

actualy a new style of "Bolt On" armor has been developed by a canadian man that can withstand a dirrect hit from an explosion with the force of a standard RPG-7 round. the armor tested was reminicant of a Couch coushin and is soft armor, but it was straped to a car door and was fired at, all that happend was the door was dented and the "Bag" remainded intact. said armor was alsi fired at with several small arms from handguns up to an M82A1 "Light Fifty" .50 call rifle. and no round managed to penatrate the "Bag"

OMG! that is soo cool!

wow thats quite the custom. very cool idea, i like it.

well ive hit a road block, finished the model Quiltra Queleual, and im almost done with the Queadol-Magdomillia model but i cant get a decent UV Map done... everytime i do something doesnt match. soo hence the reason for my lack of normal updates.

the new series is to Battlestar Glactica, as DYRL is to SDF Macross, intence charecter development set to the background of space combat, especialy with the modern updated look, i am really interested to see how the boomer situation pans out that really got me hooked (concidering how close nit boomer starbuck and Apolo were in the original series)

although i only have one gripe about the new series, and thats the galactica's new design, i much much prefered the original one.

well this will barely effect the planets temp much, at least for a long long time as solar wind and the sun's gigantic magnetic field when the cycle picks back up will ward off alot of dust so im wagering everything will ballence back out. though it will be interesting to see how NASA and ESA come up with new shielding for spacecraft who knows we may be seing primitive magnetic field shieling in the near future neceity is the mother of invention after all.

my conclusion, Humanity will live in slightly more of a fog than usual for a couple of thousand years....

The story..

here

Seems the Earth in last decade or so has started to enter the fringes of a vast interstellar dust cloud.. Just in time for the sun to go through it's 22 year cycle of reduced magnetic activity which normally forms a magnetic 'bubble' around the solar system and deflects the vast majority of the normal levels of interstellar dust much like our own Magnetosphere.. The discovery was made using data from ESA's Ulysses spacecraft, which orbits the Sun on a noncircular path between Earth and Jupiter and his been monitoring the situation since 1992. Granted it will take about 10,000 years for us to fully enter the cloud but particle densities have already taken a dramatic increase due to the suns declining magnetic aura and are expected to increase three fold by the year 2013 from drifting deeper into the dust.. Some of the near term effects being postulated are near constant displays of shooting stars and an almost permanent Zodiacal Light when dust densities reach high enough levels in the next several years.. Spacecraft will be especially vulnurable as even the smallest dust sized micro-meteorite impact will do damage with things like sand grains and bb sized impacts causing catastrophic damage if it hits in the wrong place.. All the forcasting of probable consequenses ends with the 2013 timeframe so what do you forumites think the consequenses will be for our children.. grandchildren and beyond as we drift farther and farther into the cloud?

.x format, yeah i can use that and convert it with 3D exploration. 2200 ey, well that shouldnt be too bad.

Hey Chrono, Yes we will take it that means one less zentran ship i have to muddle with untill its right

Good grief. Pressed cardboard is worth more than gold now.

Ebay

heh if it didnt cost so much id buy it and turn it into a giant Macross model rocket :-p

did anyone notice that the fighter mode craft on the glass is actualy an alpha...

Baring any "us3 t3h s34rch n00b" replies, ive looked and cant find it, does anyone have a nice sized image of the Valkyrie emblem? (the Valkyrie woman with the scarf)

hey crono, got any pics of the Picket ship?

hey were still working, its takeing a lot for me to get the textures right on the zentran ships im working on.

yeah im incliened to agree with HWR, my thoughts and hopes are with the Tsunami victomes, but HWR has a point, no one outside the US helped when florida got hit so hard, but when the president gave the countries aid, he was basicly called a stingy bitch and basicly guilted into giving more money, when that money could have helped fix that airstrip so we wouldnt have lost a million dollar peice of equipment and risk more live, or hell help half of central kansas who is still whithout power due to an icestorm.

Bureaucracy + Morons = stupid ass choices. [/rant]

sorry guys that the only pic i could find of it. and belive me i looked hard too.

i just found this whilst roaming the web looking for a good image of a Valkyrie (warrior maiden not fighter) and ran across this image of a Valkyrie Lady Costume!!

sory for the lack of updates, but christmas has been extreamly hectic for me, and i havent had much time to work however, work will be resuiming now and i hope to have some sort of update in the next few days.
