Agiel Posted September 24, 2013 Posted September 24, 2013 (edited) The OH-58D Kiowa is the US Army's premiere manned scout helicopter which is based upon the ubiquitous Jetranger in civilian service. It has been modified to reduce its noise signature, a passive wire-strike protection system, and most prominently, a mast-mounted sight resembling a beach ball that sits atop the rotor that allows the Kiowa to observe the enemy while remaining hidden behind fixtures such as a tree-line, a berm, or even buildings. One night, a couple driving in Louisiana in their convertible decided to duck into a secluded parking area at night for a little "auto-erotica." Unfortunately for them, it just happened to be in the Fort Polk training area where OH-58 pilots were conducting night-time scouting maneuvers. Edited September 24, 2013 by Agiel 3 Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling

Humanoid Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Naturally. From the reports I've seen though, the Villa players didn't even half-heartedly appeal for a penalty. Too weirded out to think clearly perhaps. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
Pidesco Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 That doesn't matter though, if you trip you can't reach for another player like that, especially not to pants him Sure, but when a guy has to choose between grabbing whatever is closest and hitting the ground with his mouth, the instinctive reaction in a split second is usually pulling someone's pants down "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian touristI am Dan Quayle of the Romans.I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.Heja Sverige!!Everyone should cuffawkle more.The wrench is your friend.

Rosbjerg Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Hmm so the motherhip in Independence day wouldn't even fit that chart.. wow.. How could 1 nuke even scratch it? Also no Serenity? Fortune favors the bald.
Gorgon Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Serenity is a tiny transport. I bet there is no Millenium Falcon either. But : No Sajuuk, Bentus or Kushan ?. How could you have bloody Halo ships and no Homeworld ships. http://homeworld.wikia.com/wiki/Kushan_Mothership Event Horizon ? 1 Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all.
Amentep Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 They have some Serenity/Firefly ships but it looks like they're the larger ships. The Firefly class itself was about a 3rd of the Longbow Patrol Cruiser in size. Interesting to use this to get a sense of scale for ships from other series (or that aren't included). V'Ger was 3 times as large as the Independence Day ship...yikes! The Sovereign/Harbinger reaper types were about 2km so about the size of the Athena Class Command ship from Starship troopers. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet? Yet I must - but I cannot! ~ Ro-Man
