the answer is, the novaslayer handles like a drunken pig, whilst the the original high powered torpedoes from vanilla FL have moderate tracking abilities (i.e. when a VHF is flying straight at you, after his shields are gone, you can take him out with one shot - but you have to have the shields down!) also, the novaslayer can´t crack shields - it has 0 impact, which makes it fairly hopeless against battleships in 1.28, before you get their shields down. However, once the shields are gone, you can kiss your battleship goodbye.

haha, gromit got caught with his pants down <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> my most vivid recollection is calling my teacher mum. however, i remember in year six, we were playing hide and seek, and one of my friends ran straight into the flag pole. yup. he didn´t want to walk for a week, and he almost broke his nose. i´m sure the males out there all sympathise with him. there was a bit of a crunch apparently <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

I was up near Townsville last holidays with the family. It´s pretty good around there. The water doesn´t get cold even in winter. Enjoy it! Hmm, I have my finals till November. No holidays till the 5th, but after that, nothing till March 3! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> I´m so looking forward to that summer, I can tell you. <b>regards from the cookie jar </b>

wrathofachilles, i don´t know if the problem is at my end. i´m using the latest version of FLMM, i´ve tried downloading the mod several times, and every time, the ships have no texture - they´re just white. i´ve tried directly pasting from the unzipped mod directory straight into the FL directory - no joy. hopefully you can help me patch this up m8! i love this mod, it´s great in conjunction with the black market mod by kaegogi! <b>regards from the cookie jar </b> Edited by - cookiemonster on 6/16/2004 2:02:35 AM

I do believe that James, the guy that wrote the article, meant it sarcastically. However, I must confer that I agree with you. I know these guys. They are a little lacking in the social department. Check out their website : http://www.serility.com it will bring a new meaning into the definition of sadness. they´re all anime freaks....

soz, i didn´t know you were talking about the virus following it around. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_blush.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> wow. just finished book 5. i´ve been intending to read it for ages, but got stuck on school books - like &quot;Stalin&quot; by Isaac Deutscher. book 5 is kinda okay. she´s going downhill. there´s too much ´harry is kickass´ and ´harry is going thru puberty´, and not enough ´harry is lost and doesn´t know what´s going on´. the first 3 books were prob. just too good.

sw, it isn´t a ´report´. it´s more just a poke of fun at ´hairy pothead´ <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>

i´ve found an article at a forum of one of my schoolmates, which i´m sure many of you will definitely appreciate. it´s a good laugh <i>Harry Potter is a powerful menace inflicted upon our society to disillusionise children and destroy their futures. Drug use, family abuse and demonic teachings are all predominant motifs in this accursed novel. J.K. Rowling’s evil genius of subtle manoeuvrings through the book to create a subliminal message of hatred and evil is very much underdocumented. The malevolence hidden is only second to that of the Maestro himself – Bill Gates and his brainchild Microsoft. What’s this you say? ‘Harry Potter is not evil!’ and ‘You have no idea what you are talking about!’ Ahhh, so you are sceptical, with good reason. But you must read between the lines to comprehend the evil teachings, and since most of you are too lazy to find them yourselves. I shall unlock them for you myself. One of the major underlying themes in Harry Potter is the promotion of Drug use. Throughout the novels, we constantly encounter Potions and other additives. Potions is merely a nice sounding word covering the darker and more sinister meaning of Saturated Cocaine or some drug mixed with alcohol. Furthermore, the drug use demonstrated in Harry Potter has no adverse side effects and is instead glorified. “But wouldn’t a strengthening potion do the trick?” (Line 4, Pg229, The Chamber of Secrets) Here, the used of steroids is exemplified as a “potion” and there was no harmful side effects. Another aspect of drug use encountered in Harry Potter is the “magical” cures. Anything from decapitation to removal of skeletal structure can be cured in a few hours if not days! This stroke is deliberately aimed at the heart of our society – the young children and our already flailing health care system. For these reasons children are more likely to take risks and hurt themselves oblivious to the fact that some of these hurts cannot be cured! Another mystery: Why is J.K. Rowling so rich? Problem solved! Not from those measly royalties received from book sales, but Cold hard Cash from drug barons and tobacco giants (companies, not actual giants). From these facts, it is now easier to understand the grand scheme of J.K. Rowling. Family abuse and encouragement of domestic violence is demonstrated clearly by the Dursley family. Harry Potter constantly abuses the Dursleys, not the other way around as most of you believe; They are merely reacting to the threat of foreign powers. ‘‘A man’s house is his own castle.’’ This famous cliché encapsulates the terror and the frustration of the Dursleys. They are not secure even in their very own home from a potentially fatal threat – Harry Potter. Juvenile readers of Harry Potter would take these lessons to the heart and thus the next generation of wife-beaters and delinquents is born. This negative influence is already being reflected upon the global scale. Harry Potter ignores his Uncle’s commands, children will ignore their parents commands; Harry Potter escapes from the house, children will escape their own homes and tread path of the damned and live in the streets; Harry Potter is annoyed so he deliberately provokes Dudley, America is annoyed and invades <b>unnamedcountry </b>... The similarities are endless. Magic, sorcery, enchantment, bewitchment, jinxes, charms… you name it, it’s all there in Harry Potter. There are certain aspects of death mentioned in the book. “Headmaster Dumbledore: ‘To the well organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.” This is basically implying reincarnation. Readers, especially young children and stressed adults seeking an easy way out from the way of the world are seduced by the promise of magic and enchantments. The magic is nothing more than a lie to deceive the gullible and the willing, and those willing to take on the chances of reincarnation; suicide. (and do not get reincarnated unless u can prove me wrong). The bible expressedly states this. “Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.” (Ecclesiastes 12:7). By disassociating magic and supernatural evil, it becomes possible to portray occult practices as ‘good’ and ‘healthy,’ contrary to the scriptural declaration that such practices are ‘detestable to the Lord.’ This, in turn, opens the door for kids to become fascinated with the supernatural while tragically failing to seek or recognize the one true source of supernatural good – namely God. Harry Potter has harmed and will continue to alter the course of society to J.K. Rowling’s own ends. The problem with the Harry Potter series is that Evil is presented in an attractive, ‘wholesome’ package. The diverting of the beliefs of the younger generation is the harbinger of evil manifested as Harry Potter. </i> EDIT : noticed the name of the country afterwards <img src=smilies/icon_smile_blush.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Edited by - cookie[blackknight on 6/5/2004 11:59:27 PM

sounds good viator. looking forward to reading more. when you get enough, compile it into a .pdf to download from your site (or maybe TLR would host it<img src=smilies/icon_smile_wink.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>)

okay. the wolfhound can handle only - relatively - low level weapons. it´s shield mount isn´t that great either. to compound the problem, armour is terrible. in short, if you want to buy it, you have to be on bad terms with the liberty police. to get out of liberty, you´re going to have a bit of a tough time, and outside of liberty, you´ll get your butt kicked by peeps in infinitely superior ships. and it sucks - bad guns, bad shield, bad armour. however, it is pretty manoeuverable and has a turret, i think, and the cargo hold ain´t bad.

wow. i didn´t expect such a solid negative response! <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> i´m sure you´ll all ´see the light´. sometime. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> i dislike the first two movies - they were crud, but the books are really good. and as for people who might dismiss them as junk for a kid to read, then that´s wrong. i see adults everywhere reading them (of course, in the adult version, which looks better, not the kid version). however, i think no.3 will be great. the old dumbledore was - pardon me - the wrong actor. he was too old to be dumbledore. and the new director this alfonso dood doesn´t seem to be afraid to do what he wants, as long as he gets a good movie. <b>nice one cowboy. you remembered my achilles heal - my eyes. but i remember yours - your inability to fly </b> *hits accelerator and watches cowboy fly out the back of the plane*

&quot;Prisoner of Azkaban&quot; is the first time that a Harry Potter film exists for it´s own sake rather than as a copy of the book. Screenwriter Steve Kloves and new director Alfonso Cuaron are clearly not afraid to alienate the ´fans´ who can´t stand even the slightest deviation. Here, the story is compressed and details altered in order to make for a better film. By treating the story as a film rather than an adapted novel, the film is allowed to live. Scenes flow rather than feeling forced. The acting is uniformly strong, the cast once again made up of Britain best thespians and strong child (now adolecent) actors. The effects are the best yet, owing as much to advances in technology as to their unobtrusive uses here. Often, effects are ´thrown away´ in the background or to the side, rather than highlighted front and center. If you like Harry Potter (like I do, and I´m not ashamed of it!) then check out http://www.mugglenet.com/books/booksix/facts.shtml they´ve got lots of stuff on the upcoming books.

taw, when you say jake, do you mean or viator? it´s just that´s my name too... hmm well i´m almost 20 and for some godforsaken reason still at school (i´m retarded <img src=smilies/icon_smile_tongue.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle>) Edited by - cookiemonster on 6/5/2004 6:18:28 AM
