To have Katee Sackhoff executing an "Starbuck" maneuver in an online Diaspora dogfight would be remarkable

No matter if she ends up blowing my Viper or not.. I've to admit :)

Do you really think the actors are good at flight/space sims? :rolleyes:

It'd be pretty awesome if he scored Diaspora. :P

_MaX_ and the others are just fine. I for one think that MaX's "Birth of a Legend" (the second) is better than "Scar" by Creary.

Also, Bear McCreary would hardly work for free, IMO. :nervous:

What about Flipside? He's a pretty talented composer.

All three of our composers are very talented. Even if Bear did turn up one day we wouldn't boot them out the door.

But that doesn't mean we wouldn't ask him for some tunes too. :D

I doubt he wouldn't ask for money, especially for BSG tracks. You know, the magic word is "Business"...  :blah:

Composing music for free would be a death blow to his career.

The Diaspora music department has really gifted artists.
This also applies to all other departments.

Of course, I would be extremely surprised (and pleased) if he ever did anything like that, and I never meant he'd be replacing anyone. :)

Probably not, but Sackhoff and Helfer are apparently very good at motorcycling, which trumps our skills.

I assume Battuta was referring to real life motorcycling not some 2D scroller from yesteryear.  RL>3D>2D

I know it was RL motorcycling. What I fail to understand is how it helps with space and flight sims.

Real time motorcycling = 2D

Flight = 3D

But Tricia Helfer & Katee Sackhoff on Motorcycles (http://triciahelfer.com/new/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/la-times.JPG) > Anything.

So, according to you... simply because of that, they're superb space/flight sim players? :wtf:

Dude, you don't even know them. How do you know they're not  better than you at a video game?


God, I seriously hope Mr. Penikett, if he ever hear's about this mod, at least never finds this board. The stuff some of you post...

Yes, Mobius. That's exactly what we mean. And we're deadly serious about, too. This isn't a subject to be taken lightly, and we think the current amount of posts doesn't cover it quite satisfactory enough, which is why we're writing a 250 page dissertation on the subject. It will contain an in-depth analysis, with attached pictures and graphs, of why a pic of Tricia Helfer and Grace Park on motorcycles makes them excellent space sim players, and more importantly, why is this subject of paramount importance for the continued development of the universe, and how this fact might be used to assist dark matter in preventing the universe from expanding into oblivion one day.

The point is that it's thirty times more badass than our Freespace abilities.

I think the time has come to close this thread before the stupidity threatens to engulf the rest of the forum.
