That X-Wing has shortened wings??? Bugger http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

Hmmm, backyard project anyone? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...ies/tongue.gif

It's possible to make an actual flying x-wing, using those s-foils as wings, and adding jet engines to it. Add some cannons to the edges of the wings...

Hello? Hello? Is this the forums epitaph thread?
(thank you all for the validation)

Do super heros exist to fight super villains or do they create super villains for them to have to fight? Think about it. A vast majority of super villains were "created" by the fact that there was a super hero around.

OK what is my count up to now?

Gandalf Parker

Ashton smashes Gandalf's head in with a comic book.

Who cares, its stil cool.

Transporter Room
The captain is standing in front of a replicator, handing out equipment.
"One for you, and one for you--" He looks up at ensign Fodder, a security person in a red shirt.
"Son, that's just not gonna work."
"Sir?"
The Captain turns around, pulls a blue shirt out of the replicator and hands it to ensign Fodder. "Here, put this on."
First Officer says "Well that ought to substantially increase Away Team survivability."
"My thoughts exactly."

Planet

The away team beams down. Nifty SFX, but the actors got their cues wrong so they run up to where they're supposed to be right after the SFX. A really ugly team of blue alien monsters-- Oh, no, wait, that's the TV studio board of directors. Oops! Ah, there they are. A really ugly group of GREEN alien reptile-monsters stands a short distance away, weapons raised.

The leader speaks.
"Kill all Redshirts! Don't fire at anyone else!"
Since there are no redshirts, only one blueshirt and some goldshirts, they lower their weapons. One of the aliens lifts his weapon and shoots the blueshirt.
*CRACKLE*ZAP*"Aaaargghhh!!!!!"
"Oh dammit, I should've known not to bring a colorblind soldier with me on patrol....."

Enterprise Ready Room

"Captain we have a problem."
"What's that Number 1."
"I'm an incompetent idiot. But that aside our redshirt insurance has lapsed."
"Damn! How much to renew it?"
"That's the problem. No-one will touch them. They have a life expectancy lower than Palestinian suicide bombers!"
"Bugger."

OK so a few beers may have influenced this post.

I say we dye all ensigns blue, so they won't die.

That raises a philosophical question:

"Is it the redshirt that condems ensigns to death, or do those who are domed to die end up in a redshirt?"

It could be that even in blue they'll still end up just as dead, but slightly more colourfully.

Ahhh company "recruitment" or "free beer" don't you love it? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif:D:D:

What if we have robots fitted with red shirts go into the front lines? They'd soak up the hits, and the blue and gold shirts wouldn't be in any danger.

But these are "Aliens of the week"TM. They evolved specially just to shoot expendable extras and then be impressed by Kirks stilted pause filled speechs. I think they evolve with the inate ability to spot un-named characters and then kill them.

Of course this is the great debate in redshirt-ology: Unamed or shirt colour, which gets them killed?
