all that time of keeping those ships secret and you go and release a pic with an Aegis right in the dead middle of of it, and a Jormundangd (or however the hell it's spelled)

Well insofar as they're meshed boxes on the screen, I doubt it's revealing much, but good job on exposing their names, that was a nice move.

-_-

Not like any of it particulary hurts us, you still can't see em.

If that station is the one I'm thinking it is, then I'm glad it found a home.  I liked it in that other place with the thing :p

Nico made it, right?
Title: Re: ...and you will return home.
Post by: Ace on December 19, 2005, 06:14:39 pm
It is not a station made by Nico. If you recall when it was made for OTT there was a certain comment of: "That looks similar to something we have in BWO."

Also, previous screenshots have shown bits and pieces of both of these ships, the only thing new here is the shadow of that station.

Never existed :)

I can't see anything recognizable in there and I have been staring at these things for years now.

You're scaring me then, because I can.

Not to be nitpicky but isnt Earth just a TAD close to the moo---oh wait, by that year, the Moon WILL probably be closer, nevermind :3
Title: Re: ...and you will return home.
Post by: Ace on March 16, 2006, 04:32:22 am
Actually the moon would be further away by a few feet.

It's artistic liscense. Look how bad the Earth-Moon are in most shows, let alone the FS1 end cutscene IIRC/tech briefings.

Very true, but still, first time i looked at that I was like..

How the earths position in this shot too close to the moon?  The Earth is way back in the distance, the moon in the closer foreground.

I just realise that, causes i remember watching Apoll 13, and see the distance from the moon back to earth.

Not to ressurrect this topic or anything (okay, I am) but in official NASA pictures of the Earth viewed from the lunar surface, well, see for yourself.

(http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/1999/462/moon.jpg)

The Earth would probably look even smaller than that, from the vantage point of that screenshot.

No, because that shot is fake. We never went to the moon, so how can we know what the Earth looks like from somewhere where we've never been?
Title: Re: ...and you will return home.

Of course we went to the moon why would the government tell us something thats not true. ;)

You are kidding... right?

There's a point where logical cynicism breaks down into paranoia.

There's some weirdos on the forum alright.

Anyway, i think the shot looks good enough. It doesn't have to be super realistic after as you suggested earlier about the beams Mars.

I recently discovered that some friends of mine were believing this sort of thing...I was flabbergasted...shocked...and then I moved on.  People can believe whatever crazy stuff they wanto believe.

The screenshot looks great, Earth is about the right size.

Although I do believe the government lies to us all the time (the zods are out there  :lol:)
I also believe we went to the moon

People make up all sorts of weird.... well, I wouldn't call them "theories" because a "theory" is based on facts, never are these conspiracy ideas based on actual fact.

When next we land people on the moon they can take video of those original footprints. Then conspiracy "theory" will be thrown out the window.

(Course we all know what the conspiracy guys will say to that...... :ick:)

Well, obviously they'd fake those too! Get with the program, man!

 :lol:

Of course the Moon is exactly the right size in that picture. You just have to be at the right distance... and some zoom, possibly.

Example: take a tennis ball and a football. Place the football onto ground or floor so that you can see it. Then take the tennis ball into your hand and keep it between your eyes and the football. At some point, the tennis ball's apparent diameter equals the one of the football. Closer, and it appears bigger; farther, and it appears smaller.

 :lol:
