Look what I found. (//"http://forums.shatteredstar.com/user-cgi/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=1&t=002384") (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
Silly? Yes. But that doesn't matter. FS2 seems to be winning, and that's the side I take simply because I can't get D3 to run multiplayer properly anymore. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
Enjoy!

It's completly biased, but anyway: someone to tell this guy (blue thing) how many different kinds of nuke and antimater weapons there is in FS, and the fact that ammo based weapons are supposed to do nohing to FS shields? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

Bah! MW4 v.s. Tribes 2? Heck in the Tribes 2 plot they mention how teams take down HERCs which are like Mechs but with more armor, shield generators, and much higher speeds (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

I could never see the link between earth/starsiege and tribes...
Reminds me I always wanted to try earthsiege, gonna try to find it (yes, I know, it's damn old, and so what? )

It's funny how no forum argument, however trivial, ever arrives at consensus, conclusion, or even the introduction of new facts... basically these guys have been rephrasing their first few posts over and over again... if I could be bothered to become a member, I'd love to introduce the fact that a Ravanna in a nebula could burn half these D3 boys in an instant, as could about 30 Alastors in a blockade... but then they'd just say something stupid about their treasured Blackshark. Ah well.

yeah, and they forget a damn lot of things, mmh, I would say, on purpose... How many Blacksharks can the GL carry, mmh? mmh? hehe.
How fast those ships are? damn, even the phoenix is slow, if you out it in open space like it is in freespace. Sniping a fs2 ship with the big gun (don't remember the name), is fairly impossible, it seems there's no newby in D3, but FS2 guys are all newbies that fly straight, like begging to be killed. All those weapons on the pyros, it's great, but first, it's not realistic, second, D3 is a shoot em up, third, they are all ammo based. All, even the lasers. If they run out of ammos, babye! Plus morons that can't argue w/o saying stuff like "are you dumb or just mentaly retarded?" just prove one thing: their arguments are as biaised as this thread, and not even worthy discussing with them.

It's a forum argument. Macho posturing by nerds. We all do it *cough*StarCraft*cough*. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

As much as I like D3...none of the weapons are even near kt level yields. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) The shields are extremely sensitive to projectile weapons (namely the vauss and mass driver) show that a single AAA beam would vaporize any of the smaller craft with ease. Hell, the Pyro GX (one of the most heavily armed craft in Descent) has a max speed that is slower than the any of the bombs in Freespace! (55mph if memory serves)

Just posted another one there; Blueflames appears to be bringing his PlanetDescent people to fight for him, so why don't some of you pop up on there and show these D3 guys how wrong they are...

Exactly. Lots of fun! (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
I gotta admit, in any given 1v1 dogfight, I'd have to hand it to the D3 ships, simply because they would be able to outmanouver by virtue of sliding. Of course, once you bring in something as simple as an Aeolus... not only would flak toast any one of them, but the beams would ignore their shields and blast right through the nonexistent armor.

I love D3, but I bet for FS2 ships: D3 ships are too damn slow, they won't even be able to avoid FS2 shots.

Hehe, well, don't be afraid to pop over and give it a (clean) voice.

Hey like Quiz says, we aren't your average clan, and we need some FS2 guys to tell them what's what (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Another one of my arguments... prolly sick of em (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) The D3 guys seem to be bit overating their shields...

No kidding. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) Just give me an AK-47 and I'll shoot down half a dozen D3 ships. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

Anyways, what about nebulas? You can't hit what you can't see... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)
That would keep those lousy rail guns they keep talking about out of play...

I wish CP5670 would stop embarassing us by insisting that anti-matter only destroys identical regular matter. Dude... you're wrong. If anti-peanut butter ran into some chocolate, there'd be an explosion. Antimatter is not at the molecular or even atomic level. It's at the subatomic level... protons, neutrons, and electrons.

uh...Zylon, you should really go read up on your physics before stating that. Antimatter exhibits most of the same properties of matter but has exactly opposite energy charges and quantum number values, so to create this annihilation effect all of the opposite values must line up and "cancel out", so to speak. (some uncharged force-carrier particles such as photons or gluons are also produced in some reactions) For example, the collision of an electron and an anti-omega baryon would have no real effect.

So, whaddya say guys? Should we go and invade some BBs? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

yes: the size of a big car (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif)
Oh, should I mention the erynies and its 8 gunpoints firing at the same time, and would vaporize D3 shields in 2 seconds? (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Yeah I keep telling Blueflames that D3 ships are significantly smaller than the smallest FS2 fighters... (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

To which I would reply, "So what?". We're talking about making things go Boom, not creating 100%-efficient mutual annihilation reactions. So long as the weapon payload is comprised of anti-matter couterparts to a *common* subatomic particle type, you're going to get a big hole in your target.
Note that in discussions of antimatter storage, it is never suggested to simply construct the container out of different material than the antimatter itself.
