Hey guys, i thought you might want to see something...
Brian provided me with a High-Res movie capture that could show the Acclamator's fabled guns...
You should check it out...

Okay, I'll take a look when I get home.

Skimming back through his replies I was curious if you knew which of his vidoes spoke of the gun towers on the DS being shielded, a claim I don't believe I've seen previously, and maybe a rough timestamp of its location within. I figure Its in his ICS one but any help narrowing it down would of course be apreciated.

It should be the ICS one, since that's where he says the ICS firepower is supported by the movies, and the X-wing attack on the DS...

Figured as much. Thanks.

This should be what he's talking about. Number 14 post if something goofed up.

Thanks sonoffccn, I can't link anything when at work because for some reason ASVS is blocked now...
And I only barely have time to reply a few sentences at home because of my family life, training, dancing classes and play-acting rehearsals...

Okay took a look at Mr. Young's guns on acclamator clip...I don't know...I just don't see it. The first one I see a couple of shadows and what might be something sticking aft side but at such a choppy resolution it could merely be distortion. The second I see something that could be a gun emplacement or darn near anything else. The third...I just see different shading.

Judging from this these are not small guns, at least in relation to the ridge their built on which I see clearly enough, and to my amature, untrained mind I can't understand why I can't see them on the first ship at least. Its fairly close and appears to be in a good position to show them off. I don't know...not saying they can't be there but I can't see them.

Interesting shots, but I'm still just seeing blurry lines ultimately.

I have started to debate on Brian's videos.
He's a nice guy, and replies politely...
I'm sure you guys would have fun there debating him...
Exactly. Nothing so dramatic as a total change. More like a refinement of purpose. Less random trolling, more Sci-Fi.

How long have you been banned from there, Mr. O?

Interesting move, to use video instead of text, but he really presents some insightful arguments.

I'd recommend that you watch his videos on ICS's, even if you are the most rabid Trekkie alive.
They feel like he is at times just rambling at times, and hasn't taken the time to research or properly organize the data.

Why go off on a tangent about robots that has nothing to do with Star Wars in a video about Storm Trooper armor? He certainly wasn't talking about any of the droids I saw in Star Wars.

Why assume the Doomsday Machine's particle beam was not extremely powerful because it was an anti-matter beam? The Doomsday Machine was eating planets in a matter of days at most. That would require a powerful beam to cut those planets into nice bite size peaces.
How would the beam being antimatter help it cut up planets any faster?(this doesn't quiet sound right)

Why assume a Phased ion cannon in Star Trek is the same weapon as is used in Star Wars? They don't seem to do the same thing.

Why is there no armor from Deep Space 9 episodes in the video about body armor?

I have to think he doesn't care about doing a good job with his videos. If he doesn't want to put even a half an hours work into his hobby he shouldn't be doing it.

I put a half hour to days worth of work into single posts often because I want the information to be correct, and want things done right.

Smurf, I've put about an hour into this post at least.

I was forced to leave spacebattles nearly two years ago after a final series of posts against Wankhammer fanboys who were backed up by the mods. I haven't bothered with sockpuppets since that day. There's no point trying to return to a board where you're not welcome because you challenge a dogma with solid new ways. SBC's VS is mostly about idiots peddling the same bullshit without thinking.
