Think about it - drop a penny from the top of the Empire State and you can crack the pavement below, or kill someone if you hit them. Nitpick: No you can't. A penny doesn't have enough mass to do any significant amount of damage, even if dropped from such a height. At terminal velocity, it can't ev...

Well, you'd actually use a ship spawner to spawn large ships which spawn small ships which have Bus Launchers (missile launchers with bus graphic).

It's not hard, thus far less amusing than in EVE

I don't know if this would be possible (but I assume it would), but what would be awesome is either the ability to plot projectile weapon courses (eg. the shot goes straight for 200 pixels, turns 45 degrees, goes straight for 400, etc.) or a weapon with plottable projectiles. I believe there is alr...

Do this instead:

Make a rocket launcher that fires rocket launchers that fires rockets the size of small buses (with rocket launchers on them).

The shadow empire ships are impossible to discern against that black background. I do believe that there is a rule about making black ships. Or at least post them with a different background. BTW, feel free to use my trick if you wish to attempt a go at Babalon 5 itself. Edit: My post appears blank,...

1) I don't recall Hamachi being made by pirates of all people. Unless they're masquerading it as a completely legitimate revenue-generating business operation. VPN software (Virtual Private Network). Which is what Hamachi does, actually, it establishes a VPN with the connected computers. It just wi...

True. They do. It just that people go "I'm going to steampunk this" and just add some useless brass cogwheels.

anything with a steam-engine and cogwheels is steampunk for me..... My point is, slapping cogwheels and a steam vent to it doesn't make it steampunk. You have to do your research and make it Victorian . Also, brass. The cheap metal of the era was brass. It looked like gold, was cheap, and decently ...

Also, I am beyond beginner when it comes to editing pictures for pieces in this, and the tool I have is Paint. If anyone could suggest a free editor thats user friendly for beginners, I'd appreciate it, and try to make cleaner pieces. Paint is glorious for pixel editing. Simply stretch the ship par...

Pipes, rivets, smokestacks - okay, but hard angles? Every non-curvy sections has hard angles... True enough, I just meant that aside from tube sections there probably wouldn't be any curves. Obviously you've never visited The Steampunk Workshop . Curves are all the rage these days. And "steamp...
