Lujayne Posted January 22, 2002 Posted January 22, 2002 Hehe, that's definitely different from the one I was thinking of. I like mine.
Cmdr. Cracken Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 Well, that U.S plane engineering for ya.... Personally, i think they can make a better looking hyper sonic jet.
Thrawn Posted January 23, 2002 Posted January 23, 2002 I don't care whaa jet of plane can do. If it doesn't look good, it's not worth having:D I live close to Andrews AFB, Ft. Meade, and as a minor note, NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center. Not military, but cool nonetheless.
Guest garyah99 Posted January 25, 2002 Posted January 25, 2002 Thanks Ed. I guess I have to take "brackets 101":) Well, I tried changing the brackets and the stupid thing still didn't work.
Flying Beastie Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 Originally posted by Thrawn If it doesn't look good, it's not worth having I agree. 99% of human-made hardware looks like gunmetal crap. I understand the whole "form-follows-function" thing, but come on! <small>The Aurora I can forgive; it's military, it needs at least superficial camo, if only for tradition.</small> This is why I love sci-fi; the ship (and incidental gear) designs are much more stylish than anything we're likely to see in real life. <---Case in point.
Nute Gunray Posted January 26, 2002 Posted January 26, 2002 Style doesn't kill the other guy. If it did, then we would be saying HEIL HITLER and driving around in Volkswagens. Actually, I find the haze gray/ghost gray/gull gray/gunmetal colors, the sleek look of our fighters, and the harsh lines of a modern MBT to be quite stylish. It just says to me "I have no need for useless decoration. My purpose is to kill." It's so...cold and impersonal.
