Derp, didn't mean to put stars but instead meant to put moons.
[22:29] <sigtau> Hello, #hard-light?  I'm trying to tell a girl she looks really good for someone who doesn't exercise.  How do I word that non-offensively?

Odds are it had plenty of **** tumbling around, though.

Yeah but the chances of any of them hitting and doing any damage to the Knossos, even in 1000 years, is very, very small. And yes, I know the Knossos wouldn't be moving for most of that seeing how it wasn't powered up, etc

Man homie are you kidding with me yo, the Knossos is going to be hurtling around the system at tens of thousands of kilometers per hour or some ungodly huge number like that, crashing into swarms of every imaginable kind of space detritus from simple solar photons to high-energy cosmic rays to dust and gas to honest-to-Buddha micrometeorites.

On that note, if the device was deactivated for all those years, how come its individual parts didn't separate due to gravity (or rather, lack of momentum)?

High Technobabblon particle flux. :nervous:

I think that is momentum though, or lack of acceleration.

Yeah, but the individual segments weren't rotating until Bosch activated it.

This mysterious phenomenon called "gameplay" held it together.
[16:57] <CommanderDJ> What prompted the decision to split WiH into acts?
[16:58] <battuta> it was long, we wanted to release something
[16:58] <battuta> it felt good to have a target to hit
[17:00] <RangerKarl> not sure if talking about strike mission, or jerking off
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> WUT
[17:00] <CommanderDJ> hahahahaha
[17:00] <battuta> hahahaha
[17:00] <RangerKarl> same thing really, if you think about it

This is the best explanation I've heard! I vote it becomes canon.

Some work on the front, making those odd protrusions look a little less fragile, also making sure the other rotating parts fit underneath.



Yeah, I'll be adding some volume to the tails.

I'm still not sure I like how the front spikes looked. Maybe it's just because they're quite different from Vanilla. /personal preference.

Otherwise, sexy :D
