Fools, it's so obvious. They tried to make a Fallout sequel, turned it into a FPS, and the NMA mob found out. The massive flaming on the internet boards created a raging supertroll, now devouring the galaxy.

[quote]Anyone planning a Battletech mod?[/quote] Hmmm... My first reaction was YES! But on second thought... The modus operandi in the Battletech universe are the mechs. Even though it would be cool to have space battles between Steiner and Kurita, if you can't drop mechs on the planet much of the Battletech essence is gone. Wait... Couldnt this be done in Medieval 2:TW? Or World In Conflict? Argh! Look what you did! Now you made reinstall Mech Commander 2 again! <

Just wanted to bring attention to what this thread was supposed to discuss. You know, should ID be taught in science class, along with the theory of evolution? After sixteen (16) pages of ranting, and still not one (1) scientific reason to why ID should be taught in science classes, can we decide on a no?

All five of the Midianite kings – Evi, Rekem, Zur, Hur, and Reba – died in the battle. They also killed Balaam son of Beor with the sword. Then the Israelite army captured the Midianite women and children and seized their cattle and flocks and all their wealth as plunder.

[quote]Evolution is like the "Global Warming" SCAM!There is a "consensus" on both of these, therefore, it is declared and taught as Science.Wasn't there a "consensus" back in the 1400s that the world was flat?Truth is, you cannot prove Evolution, nor can I prove Intelligent Design.Which makes more sense? I like what Ben Stein said to the "professor" in the movie... (I don't remember the exact quote) "But how did life begin?"So... if evolution is only a "theory", then why is it taught as "science

Uranium, all your argument could be used against non organic ships. Nerve poisons/Viral infection? Perfect to take out the crew on a space ship. Radiation? Same goes here, plus an atomic explosion near a space ship would inevitably destroy almost all electrical components on the ship, EMP hardened or not. Micrometeoric impacts? Same goes here. And you could attack a non organic ship successfully with computer viruses. We're not talking about Space Ponies here,

[quote]Suffice it to say you have faith in evolution, I have faith in God.[/quote] No. I have faith in the scientific method. Peer reviews and constructive criticism. That lead me to the logical conclusion that, as the theory of evolution is founded on the principles of the scientific method, and is accepted by the scientific community, it is a viable theory. If they discover a better theory i will believe in that, as long is it based on the scientific method and empirical evidence.<br/

Well, the post reads "a alien race wich uses organic(biological,living)ships". And of course it could be cliche, but yes, it depends on how Ironclad/Modder X executes it. And the concept of the TEC is more a cliché then biological ships to me.
