Pff.

It's obvious, really.  Meson bombs work because they are powered by magic pixie dust.

Clearly it was me. The amount of hours I lost to that game... who knows what I could've done in that time. ;7

Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

That's gotta do something.


Mesons arent what mediates the NSF, Gluons are. Mesons are particles composed of an even number of quarks. The meson bomb liklely works by smashing baryons (particles of 3 quarks such as protons and neutrons) or some larger hardon and split them into mesons. THe residual mass loss would generate enregy. Think subnucleuar fission, ofcourse it could just as easily be fusion and work the other way.

Anyways, i was refering to residual meson radiation, wich probably is'nt alot nor are the mesons moving at high speed.




Fade, mesons dont move faster than light, you're thinking tachyons.
actualy, mabye not.

No, they manufacture Magical Pixie Dust (and One-size-fits-all Plot Holes, but they don't like to advertise that as much).

'Hazelsprut' makes me remember 'Hazelnut'
Confusing. I don't want to consider the Psamptik a giant hazelnut with beams!

Nobody is right in a discussion where we do not know exact numbers. If we had a lot of canon statistics at our disposal, we would be able to objectively conclude who suffered more.

But if we had one, there would be no discussion about it. :)

Going back to whether Capella was Terran or Vasudan, i think that you could probably sit on a mix of both (I'm not saying even, but they probably weren't huge differernce), since there are both terran and vasudan ships in the evacuation, and i hardly belive that comand would send freighters there to load them up and take them back... While that would make sense if just relocating, the shivans were a huge risk at the time...

Hatshepsut. That's how it is spelled.
And you are, what, almost 18 years old, and can't even bother to spell properly? :blah: Wonders of the American education system, right?

What can any Educational system do to make people spell the name of an Egyptian myth figure properly? You can't teach all mythological figures. I don't think it's a shame on spelling, it's rather a shame on his circumspection(I don't know if it is the right word).

The 'Iv' spelling instead of 'I've' is probably a pure spelling mistake, while the 'rigth' spelling instead of 'right' is rather a typing mistake.

Most education systems teach people to remember spelling in general.  With long words, by breaking them up into phoneme groups.

i.e. Hatshepsut; hat-shep-sut

And do you think the US system does not?

I wasn't referring to the Hatshepsut, but the lack of proper spelling. "I" is not written "i", for example.

I didn't mean to offend Charismatic, I just wanted to say that proper spelling greatly helps to understand what someone is saying. That's all.

I have seen this ship's name spelt with a 'p' and without it, too. The mission where it is destroyed spelt with as 'Psamtik', but mission 1 spelt it as Psamptik, if I remember correctly.
Even though, I don't know which spelling is the correct one, I have never looked it up.

[EDIT] You were right that it is spelt correctly as Psamtik, but I am sure the FS2 campaign spells it both ways.

He simply did not use the Shift. That's all. I bet he would write I normally, in an exam or test, or generally everywhere where he does not have to switch SHIFT.
