StarCraft LEGO Battle Scene
Posted By MattII
Re: StarCraft LEGO Battle Scene
This guy (http://masterofhobbiton.deviantart.com/) has a few Lego models of his own along with some other SC stuff.

No I didn't, sorry, late night (I almost posted Hydralisk in Drone's link

The Physics of Space Combat
Re: The Physics of Space Combat
Good, because my patience is just about gone as well.
Protoss reproduction
Re: Protoss reproduction
The Artanis image is from SC, the Selendis one is 'concept art' fron SC2, with everything Blizzard's retconned to date Artanis now will probably not look too different.
So female Protoss don't feature largely in military, or didn't till now. The same could be said of humans up to and including WW2.
The signal could be something as simple as a confirm/deny on the missile's query of a course change. It'd be kind of hard to find a few bytes buried somewhere in a mega-even giga-byte sized encrypted...
Regrowing Purple Minerals
Re: Regrowing Purple Minerals
Agreed, no regrowing mineral. on the issue though, I once proposed that mineral patches get +50% minerals, but that you have to spend a little money and time (50/50 and 15 seconds) to get them, and...
Indeed, more than two genders (or sexes, the terms are interchangeable) are a problem, since such a scenario drops the chances of a random meeting sparking off a relationship from 0.5 to 0.3rec* if...
Then use a buried signal (hide the actual signal inside a much more powerful junk signal). You could also use proximity-kill weapons warhead busses, or even fire-lock missiles (guide them to a point,...
Calling on the camel/llama point again, those two can breed after well over 100,000 generations, so even if the DT were reproducing every month, that's still less than 1/8th of that. There is no...
This assumes that the missiles won't have their own tracking in the first place, which is utterly foolish.
Random (or preprogrammed) cycling of frequencies/codes prevents the enemy from taking...
Unknown, but unlikely, Australian Aborigines were isolated for close to 60,000 years, but they're still human. Camels and Llamas have on different continents for several million years, they're still...
Directional radionics (you don't know when queries are being sent), unique encryptions (each missile has a different one), and passive sensors (they go on what you're putting out, not what they are)....
So the missile queries home, and gets confirmation that new target is a decoy, or a portion of the missiles break off to engage new target while the rest continue. Don't assume that missiles are...
This provides more questions than answers, Protoss are photosynthetic, yet in the game they require Khaydarin Crystals to support population, which is conflicting (unless Khaydarin Crystals support...
No they don't, Bacteria are definitely asexual, and reproduce via a process known as Binary Fission. A few species (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parthenogenesis) are capable of single-sex...
Fine then, be like that. Missiles can accelerate faster than fighters, can pull tighter turns, and since they don't carry a pilot, don't have to carry all that extra junk (life support, cockpit,...
*sigh* Fighters will be obsolete, that's unavoidable. This is especially true when we're making much bigger steps in computers than in propulsion (we've not advanced much in propulsion since the days...
As my link points out, fighters are used today for over-the-horizon attacks, but once you remove the horizons (there are none in space), fighters drop back to a position as second-rate missiles, slow...

Flyng Cars
Re: Flyng Cars
It depends what you mean by 'innovation', I suspect having to do so would spur innovations in efficiency of design, and in reclamation. I'm also at a loss as to why you used my particular post as a...
So we recycle, it's far cheaper to do it for aluminium than to manufacture new anyway. Also, I fail to see your point in this.
slight Observer and Medivac info
Re: slight Observer and Medivac info
You can get two Medic for the price of a since Medevac, which means they can heal two units at trhe same time.
That's 'your' assumption. As I already stated, the Thor will hit the Medevac...
The other thing is that the Medic was in amongst the infantry, so it was harder to focus-fire on, whereas now a Thor will be hitting the Medevac long before the infantry gets in range to hit him.
Does it work on Protoss as well?
String/M-theory
Re: String/M-theory
That is 'the dictionary' definition of collision, not 'my' definition. I labelled your questions as 'nonsense' and 'rubbish', because they are, at your age you should at least 'try' to understand...
"Real" Virutal Reality.
Re: "Real" Virutal Reality.
This would require a more-or-less complete understanding of how our brain reacts to all stimuli (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sense) which is several orders of magnitude above what is available to us...
Collision is when two solid objects run into each other (eg, cars). Brane Interaction in 11-D reality is not, or at least probably isn't 'actual' collision, any more than galaxies 'actually' collide...
Given what I understand of String Theory (not a lot I'll admit) the first and third questions sound like nonesense. Ten-dimensional physics cannot begin to be explained in normal language, so the...
I would suggest that the OP goes and does at least some basic research. I don't understand it (I don't think anyone here does much), but knowing some very basic facts about it (like the fact that the...

I probably wouldn't be much higher if the crash hadn't happened, maybe 300-400 posts at best. Things 'were' a lot more fun in those days, although a lot of things were way out as well (eg. walls and...

How does the 'missed shots' work then, what damage does it actually do?
Actually, civilians mostly have 40 hp (the Scientist is the only one to have 20 hp), so bang goes that theory.

This raises another interesting point, why is Hellion armour considered different from Marine armour, yet not from building armour (a SCV can repair a Hellion, yet can't actually build one). Perhaps...

Last we've heard down here, a couple of his staff have been done for tax evasion, not a good look for being in the job less than a month.

Joined in '05 I think (well before the crash anyway), rejoined July '06. Yes, discussions have gone downhill a bit, but that's because there's practically nothing to speculate about anymore.

Possibly it will be, but I'll put my money on battery/fuel cell cars if it's all the same to you.

Symmetrical maps only work for symmetrical races (PvP, TvT), because a map might have terrains that favour one race no matter how symmetrical it is (Terrans are especially good at chokes, or so I...

I think one of the things they did to try to balance the Nydus worm originally was to introduce a delay before it could unload, so you'd have time to destroy it.
