The topic is FreeSpace! I know the answer and I hope I remember it long enough to finish game #1.

Begin!

<MageKing17> "There's probably a reason the code is the way it is" is a very dangerous line of thought. :P
<MageKing17> Because the "reason" often turns out to be "nobody noticed it was wrong".
(the very next day)
<MageKing17> this ****ing code did it to me again
<MageKing17> "That doesn't really make sense to me, but I'll assume it was being done for a reason."
<MageKing17> **** ME
<MageKing17> THE REASON IS PEOPLE ARE STUPID
<MageKing17> ESPECIALLY ME

<MageKing17> God damn, I do not understand how this is breaking.
<MageKing17> Everything points to "this should work fine", and yet it's clearly not working.
<MjnMixael> 2 hours later... "God damn, how did this ever work at all?!"
(...)
<MageKing17> so
<MageKing17> more than two hours
<MageKing17> but once again we have reached the inevitable conclusion
<MageKing17> How did this code ever work in the first place!?

If the opposite of pro is con, then is the opposite of progress Congress?

 
Re: Twenty quuuuuuestions!!!
'Is it a ship' would be a better question, you want a binary search.
The good Christian should beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies. The danger already exists that the mathematicians have made a covenant with the devil to darken the spirit and to confine man in the bonds of Hell.

Re: Twenty quuuuuuestions!!!
Is it one of a kind? (as in not serialized built or class of ship like deimos and orions).
el hombre vicio...

 
Re: Twenty quuuuuuestions!!!
I feel like we can probably infer that the answer is 'yes' from the fact that every ship class from retail has appeared in a fanmade campaign.

So it's probably a specific Terran GTVA warship, then. Was it a cruiser or corvette?
