Hey like Quiz says, we aren't your average clan, and we need some FS2 guys to tell them what's what

 Another one of my arguments... prolly sick of em The D3 guys seem to be bit overating their shields...

Go help the FS2 side... show your allegiance

No kidding.    Just give me an AK-47 and I'll shoot down half a dozen D3 ships.

I've never played D3... i think i would suck at it anyways  

Anyways, what about nebulas?  You can't hit what you can't see...  
That would keep those lousy rail guns they keep talking about out of play...

I wish CP5670 would stop embarassing us by insisting that anti-matter only destroys identical regular matter. Dude... you're wrong. If anti-peanut butter ran into some chocolate, there'd be an explosion. Antimatter is not at the molecular or even atomic level. It's at the subatomic level... protons, neutrons, and electrons.

Looks like there are more replies there; time to put up another quoting post...

uh...Zylon, you should really go read up on your physics before stating that. Antimatter exhibits most of the same properties of matter but has exactly opposite energy charges and quantum number values, so to create this annihilation effect all of the opposite values must line up and "cancel out", so to speak. (some uncharged force-carrier particles such as photons or gluons are also produced in some reactions) For example, the collision of an electron and an anti-omega baryon would have no real effect.

So, whaddya say guys? Should we go and invade some BBs?  

Edit: Oh, I actually read that thread... I think I'm going to have a headache...

yes: the size of a big car  
Oh, should I mention the erynies and its 8 gunpoints firing at the same time, and would vaporize D3 shields in 2 seconds?  

SCREW CANON!

Yeah I keep telling Blueflames that D3 ships are significantly smaller than the smallest FS2 fighters...

To which I would reply, "So what?". We're talking about making things go Boom, not creating 100%-efficient mutual annihilation reactions. So long as the weapon payload is comprised of anti-matter couterparts to a *common* subatomic particle type, you're going to get a big hole in your target.

Note that in discussions of antimatter storage, it is never suggested to simply construct the container out of different material than the antimatter itself.
