Re: Spain just spent $680 million on a submarine that can’t
I meant the entire project costs thus far. The entire sub project for Spain was slated to cost 3 billion for 4 subs. Now it will cost more. The amount of money paid for the F-35 has produced a workable combat aircraft with teething problems, that will be produced in the thousands. So no, the F-35 d...

Re: At the Movies with General Havoc
I was entertained by the film, but in retrospect it has many problems and I think ultimately I'm disappointed with nuTrek. RE: Scale of nuTrek being small. They're probably trying to emulate TOS more than TNG/DS9, with its 'only the Enterprise can save us!' motif. The thing is though, outside of TMP...

Star Trek Fleet Captains board game review
Hi guys, I've been away from the board for awhile now. I thought I'd pop in with a review for a board game I got over a month ago, called Star Trek Fleet Captains. The game is very good. I like it a lot. I've only played it twice, but my regular gaming group seem to like it so it'll become a mainsta...

Re: Endless Space: For scratching that MOO itch
Are you guys sure that nostalgia isn't colouring your impressions? I remember SMAC, MoO2 and GalCiv 2, and engaging diplomacy wasn't anywhere near those games. SMAC and Galciv 2 had personality, but that was it. It was still just a 'Here's one of my tech for one of yours' mechanic, and little else. ...

Re: Powered Armor (concept)
Shouldn't you also add another category: how to power the bloody thing? Because that is what I would consider the biggest limiter to powered armour. I guess it also depends on the type of powered armour. Like if we're talking Mass Effect style hardsuits, you don't have to power mechanical servo join...

Re: USS Enterprise sailing off to history’s scrap heap
I honestly don't see why naming warships after presidents is any worse than naming them after cities or states, really. Honestly? It's as frigid says, they're politicians. At least with a city or state you can go 'that's a place filled with millions of people, that's worth something'. And those civ...

Re: Essay on American failures in Generalship
Though detailed, this analysis is shallow on several points. It criticizes the generalship of the Army by the time-honored tradition of simply not talking about anyone except those generals that fit its premise and pretending the rest don't exist or don't matter for unstated reasons. This does not ...

We don't name ships like that anymore, now we name them after politicians. According to the Navy office, they have decided that policy is no longer popular and are considering going back to traditional names. Thank fuck for that. Speaking as a non-American outsider-looking-in, naming warships with ...
