Hes saying that because a compass is meant to deal with only 4 directions it couldn't possibly be used in space. for in space you would at least need 2 more directions, or shall we say a Z-axis. However, he is being very narrowminded, a compass isn't restricted by four directions, it can have many many more. You know I don't want to go back to Homeworld(great Ponie Gods smite me), but they did have a coordinate plane(a rough one), that could be a nice overlay idea.

Oh come now, a compliment from me comes around more often then... oh I dont know, eets not being annoying, or Schem being modest, or me being not completely useless. And you have to say that since I was impressed with his Fleet Management thread I would also be impressed by a simillar thread that, shall we say, garnered a lot more attention :D
You know I'm right :P
Who this Blair is evil and mean for keeping secrets? I DO! On a side note, no I won't help you, but its nothing personal, you just spell favor weird. Haha jk. Ron's thread has pretty much everything you need, thats why I think it needs to be a made a sticky :D
They would never answer to you, they have eets proof sounds barriers and defense systems.
A minimap? Heresy!
I think Schem has infected you with his name changing.
:O Wrong thread buddy. Plus, we only accept threats if they're in triplicate form.
Still its a start :D
You could sipmlify the compass and make a universal left, right, up and down.
[quote] first there is a lot about the technology, Isaac Asimov was a scientist first, writer secound 2 there are descriptions of the technology used on ships [/quote] Yes, but no ship descriptions. Size, collor, use? Nothing, or next to nothing.
There is really little data in the books about actually space combat ships, not to mention what they look like. Plus there are quite a few factions to account for.
[quote] wowo, wonder how i missed that...i blame empy... [/quote] Or your reading ability....
Meh, i'm with eets on this one. I want my talking planets...
There is a differance, the Civil War is the most complex event in the history of this country. And to really get an idea what it was about you would have to go over quite a few thousand pages of documents. Unless you are a history major, I don't see you doing something like that. Edit: Great, now I'm a hippy...
I saving the fact that SD screwed up on SDC hehe.
Huh, you like the site?
This conversation is pointless. None of you are history majors, none of you specialize in the Civil War, AND the Civil War happened more then a century ago and has little relavance in the rest of the world, only here was it a big deal, and only because of the huge death toll.
Well then your in luck, socializing isn't what you do best ;p
Hm.. I wonder what the world would be like with two americas. Oh, its tooo horrible to imagine.
Oh blah guys, its christmas. Try to get along :)
I think we have a an off site forum for this. Claps for the story :) Oh and its phase jump :LOL:
Wow constructive posts from... windex? *scratches head* Yea I definetly need some sleep...
You know whats weird, when I changed my name it made all of my old posts hippy, but for some reason the forum refuses to let me really have my name change. Ahh well guess I'll always be TGE *shrugs* Happy Holloween everyone, I need to get some sleep, man do I have a headache right now :(
How about we all just have a merry little holiday season and hope for a better 08 :D
