Heheh, that reminds me of a funny quote... 'anything'll jump if you tell it to, even a cargo container!'   Oh well. Ice's explanation seems to make sense.

They would probably need some kind of leverage though.

Not the one I prefer. Here's the one I like:
T'Pau: Live long and prosper, Spock.
Spock: I shall do neither, for I have killed my captain and my friend.

That's another good one  . I like that one, too, but I've only seen parts of that episode...I actually read it in "I Am Spock", rather than seeing it on TV.

[Su-tehp]

I find the books that Leonard Nimoy wrote strangely titled. First, he wrote "I am not Spock", then he wrote "I AM Spock" then he wrote "I'm really Scotty".

Can't he make up his mind?

i thought that jumpin into subspace puts a hell of a lot of stress on the hull so if its a 12% the stress maybe 2 great and bye bye ship!

I've thought of doing that for a couple of missions... actually, I have once. The debrief was different if your hull was under 20% or something like that, you don't get in trouble.

It is rather silly that the GTVA insist on loosing pilots by insisting that they continue to fight when they have no shields and a hull at 2%

[Arnav]

Those "Get me out here Command!"'s really show how cruel the GTVA is.

ok, first off, if you pay attention to the colossus, it's disabled, hence it cant jump.  Second, i've gotten out of missions with just 2% hull before, it can be done.

It's 'cos Command is evil and likes the pretty colours of the ships exploding.

Or they have a lot of letters begining: 'I regret to inform you...' and they've got to get rid of them somehow.

Maybe but compare that with the number of times you`ve died and I think you`ll see what I mean. You can`t respawn in real life!
