A tonne of housebricks or a tonne of feathers. The results the same.

Neither bricks or feathers are explosives, so yes, the result of trying to detonate them is the same.

However, if people don't use TNT in the 2300's I wouldn't be surprized if they rated the yield of bombs in kilotons of something different.
 
 

Stands to reason we as the superior species ...

That's racist!

[el_magnifico]

I believe that the GTA must have had at least one or two planetary fighter bases.
 
The Vasudans had fighter escorts leading the prime evac.
 
Stands to reason we as the superior species have a counterpart.

I don't remember there being anything in canon suggesting terrans were "superior". In fact, I think it was implied more than once that Vasudans have superior propulsion technology (the Interceptor propulsion system, Vasudan fighters being generally faster and maybe even capable of inter-system jumps early in the war). So, in my humble opinion (and I may be wrong), it is perfectly possible the Vasudans were able to operate fighters from ground bases more easily.

Just ignore Dekker, he's just rabidly anti-Vasudan.

What's wrong with being humanitarian?

yeah, but the the interceptor had a terran warhead and terran shis generally had better armor, but the vasudans had better warships (not counting the Aten-class

[headdie]

I always looked at things like this

Vasudans made thing fast and high tech
Terrans made things to be strong but low tech

Truth, but that still sounds like a tie to me.

Also, don't underestimate the Aten. Despite its deficient armament, its strong hull enable it to sustain considerable punishment while begging for its life.
And I heard if you stand in front of a mirror and say "the Aten sucks" thirteen times, a Vasudan will appear in the mirror and taunt you about the Hecate.

 

[haloboy100]

At least the Hecate has beamz.

[BengalTiger]

Well the Big Hat also has beams. Bigger and better beams than the Hecate could ever dream of.

[CrazyToast012]

... maybe thats why the Valkyrie has wings?  Wings serve no purpose in space. Although it doesn't have a vertical stabilizer... wing thingy.

wings would make good mounting points for small maneuvering thrusters

I don't think the FSRefBible is the best reference for canon as it contains a lot of cut content and stuff that was eventually changed...
The Galatea obviously isn't the ITA Repulse.
Yeah, I know it's the word of God and technically completely canon, but I have a hard time taking it as such.

You have at least have a point. As opposed to newer members getting into this community the canon is getting skewed or canon is said to be not.

Well, that's because game canon is newer than bible canon so .

You do realize this is absolute bullcrap right as the FSReference Bible being raw canoncity as the Word of God comes down to us from people like Aldo?

Right?

The Council of Nicaea condemns the design of the Valkyrie. All memory of this ship must be erased or God will double the number of blind people in Albania.

I wouldn't worry about this sort of thing too much. I take fighter design and whatnot with about as much salt as I take the tech room's description of warhead yield. In fact, let us never mention the tech room again.

I think he's talking about the Valky from FS1... or maybe not and I'm just in the wrong thread at the wrong time.
