Heh, you get the "Beater of the dead-equine" award!

Anyways, I just wanted to see what rank I am, I see that I shall have to be MUCH more vocal now so I can top 2K, perhaps get to be a Captain.

Have a nice day!

Lord save us on this!

Hmm, well, as far as Magic Photons go...I think Quantums are WAAAAY to magical, do too much damage and all, the Polaron is also a little too powerful.  The Plasma on the otherhand, as always, it needs more Power, and to hit more...giving the power to the proper race obviously.

Dash Jones have you considered that plasmas might be as accurate as other torpedoes? They have big degradation but people seem to operate on assumptions or suppositions. I have been guilty of things in the past and now I am wary. I know there are exact numbers on how accurate weapons are and I have heard one who say they are just as accurate. In relativity theory we know a lot of what we see is just perception not reality.

I don't speak from a lot of experience with romulans but I do know players percieve things they want to see.

I don't see how you think Polarons are overpowered. Polarons do only 9 damage, they have no proximity ability, cost a lot of pp and rarely penetrate shields.

Quantum bashing is so popular but I am not sure about the solidarity of such bashing's foundation.

I haven't played in a while and I love the Federation but I think I am an obective player. Note the many other occasions in which I have spoken outwardly against the Federation in many ways. I have also played Klingon heavily and other races in a passing manner aside from the Federation. So I have some experience with everything.

It is a wise man who says that one cannot have all the answers but I know for certain there is a problem with the Federation so don't jump on me for trying to point other stuff out.

Did you actually know that photons can make matter out of energy? Sometimes photons with an energy of at least 1.02 MeV suddenly disappear and form an electron and and a positron, or as you might say an anti-electron.
Just a bit of trivia about Magic Photons.

Another bit of Magic Photon trivia.
Do you know why you can look inside a microwave while it's on?
Visible light has a shorter wavelength than microwaves. Those little holes just behind the glass are to big for the microwavephotons to pass through, and visible light can pass through because these photons have smaller wavelength.

What?  Really?  Can you point me to an explanation of this?  What conditions are required for the photon to, err... transform into the electron/positron pair?  What happens afterwords?


As to rank posting, I suspect it's how much (spam) you post, rather than the number of your posts.  For some strange reason i've aready risen once in rank, while people with as many as twenty posts more than me are still the rank behind.


And yes, it made me look.  Very funny.

Read it.  Anything else?

To be specific, what's happening, exactly, when the photon transforms?  What's causing the transformation?  From what i'm reading, the high energy of the beam is only a part of what is requisite for the creation to occur.

A wonderous world of magic photons,

Given the new threads about uber cloaks and the old arguments about EAW vs. OP vs. SFC3 and SFB vs. Trek in new threads, I felt that this post should show up again to demonstrate the silliness of these threads, and help people relax about their tightness concerning the changes that have and have yet to occur in the SFC series.

Well sort of.  Mostly because this thread is evily fun to trap people in.
