You're also forgetting the quotes in Duke Nukem that came out of Heartbreak Ridge:

A Very built corporal looks at the skinny Gunny Srgt played by Clint Eastwood and says, "I'm gonna rip off your neck and sh*t down your throat..."
"I wanna drink til I'm drunk, and smoke til I'm senseless..."
-Tricky

"Hey barkeep, who's leg do I have to hump to get a dry martini around here?"
-Brian, Family Guy

That's not exactly true though.  I've said it already, this thing makes a perfect Halo but wouldn't touch Ringworld.  That ring encircled its star, which this one quite clearly does not.  That plus the fact that the textures and everything else make that the Halo ring makes it necessary to identify it as we all have.  Now it would be great if someone would whip up a background POF that actually had the ringworld in it.
who needs a signature? ;)

You'd be right - I realised about 4:30am that I was out by a factor of 1000 because I wasn't thinking.

I've resized it now, but I've not tried sticking it in the game. :)

It's on my to do list.

Note to self: Engage brain, remember things are measured in METRES......

I always think of Ringworld first when I see these sort of things but this is obviously too small and hasn't got any shadow squares.
 Besides considering the power of the ringworld defense system who'd be crazy enough to stick that in a game of Freespace! :D

Not really if it was made to be Halo and not the Ringworld...

To be fair someone could probably do that with the Ringworld if they tried hard enough :D

Nah, ringworld can't leave its star.  It's point defenses are second to none though.

Yeah. But it can move the star :drevil:

Besides I don't anyone ever tried firing the laser at another star system but if message lasers can reach one star system from another I see no reason that this one can't :D

Halo doesn't fire any laser - it releases a massive shockwave - I don't know if it's sublight or hyper speed though.
