Please Help

I'm thinking about doing a mission where a ship has to go  though the big hole in an Arcadia. I was wondering if the Deimos Corvette could go through the hole.

thanx

(I also posted this in the General Freespace forum, if that's a problem then remove this FRED)

Er... not unless it was gonna make the hole a lot wider by ramming it a couple times. Deimoses are big.
Webpage. Yes.

You can probably fit any of the cruisers (except the Mentu) through the hole, but I think that's about it.

Ironically... I just tried doing something similiar with a triton and cargo... too small, so I doubt anything bigger such as a cruiser will fit, much less a Deimos.

Oh, and a good way of finding out is .. trying it... :nod:

Hey, there's this key on my keyboard with a picture of a semicolon on it. Does anyone know if I can press it to get a semicolon? I was thinking about writing something that might use one.

What if I want to use the colon instead?  Do I need a new keyboard?

No, this one seems to have a sense of humour. That said, a few suitably caustic lines from ZB is usually enough to reduce strong men to tears :)

The humor is strong with this one...

( if you know the etymology of humor, that's a really cool pun :cool: )

Yeah... mention the word "ballistic" anywhere near him, and he goes -- erm, ballistic. :lol:


Spoiler:
EDIT: replaced berserk with ballistic to make it funnier :nod:

If you want a bigger hole, fire a couple of trans-phasic torpedoes at the edges of the hole of the Arcadia space installation. It might help.:p

Or you could "ram it until it gives up".

Having had a check in FRED.... no, corvetes will not fit through, though any cruiser, including a Mentu, will.


Freespace dictionary-
Cruiser: A warship small enought to fit throught the hole in an GTI arcadia.

If anyone can explain dg's Google-phobia to me, I'd be most appreciative. Maybe he hates it when people actually support their own arguments?

No, what I really can't stand is a cliche, which is what you and Google have become :nod:

did you know, you can't use a semicolon in your messages in FRED - it messes everything up because the parser thinks you're starting a comment

and the percent sign does some weird stuff too

Oh, I'm sure everyone would LOVE to hear you explain how a search engine can be a cliche.

No, look... pay attention please:

1. Newbie posts daft question.

2. Nine times out of ten, ZB posts a link to a Google search page

3. I groan at the cliche


See? It's your going posting a Google link to support evey other argument that gets me. It's so... predictable, you know? A little more variety is what I ask of you. Which is why I remarked that you hadn't Googled the poor chap in this thread - quite a refreshing change :)

Can I have a handful of your popcorn, please?
