I saw the trailer for nextweeks DrWho (In Australia). They go back to WW2 and discover that England is using DALEKS to beat the Nazi's.
Developing their Tech they make...... SPACE SPITFIRES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WITH LASERS AND JET THRUSTERS !!!!!! BUT THEY LOOK JUST LIKE SPITS OTHERWISE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now we know there is only one thing to say.
PERK THE SPACE SPITFIRES
:D

Earth Force Star Fury... By the storyline, it is produced by Earthforce R/D, designed by the European Consortium, Rolls Royce Fusion engines, and has a direct corporate lineage back to the spitfire.. Space Spitfire? I like it!

Ah yes, a fine example of Imperial Engineering. It is a TIE Defender, correct?

Yes! Much better than those other scifi engineering examples.
-
Yet it is more of a Zero than a Spitfire, since it lacks any laser or particle shielding at all.

GOD I hated all those superfighters in the X-wing series. Led to XvT and XWA modders doing nothing but stupidly overpowered kitbashed super-ships.

Or the Dalek equipped with khaki belts and webbing

The episode where the 2 are stuck in the elevator together makes me ROFLMFAO every time.

Space spits was meh.
I'm hanging out for the Blink sequel (Blink had to be the best Dr Who episode of all time).
If you want something scary to watch, Blink ... late at night... alone... will have you hiding behind the couch like you did when you were a kid :D
-
This ol' cat has been a fan of the good Doctor ever since episode one. :old:
And he likes the Doc's new assistant almost as much as Billie Piper. RRRRRrrrrrr, RRRRrrrrrr . . .
:cool:

I agree.I still recall the teaser they played for that one and thinking ...oh man that looks good <G> I wasnt disapointed. As a bonus to that episode Sally Sparrow was way hot :aok

If you are referring to the Tie/D it does have shields.

You don't want to get me started on Star Wars fighter technology.
E-wings FTW!

I'd rather take a B-wing to tell you the truth...

I stand corrected, I figured that all of the power from the engines was routed to the thrusters and laser cannons, with none to pressurization (<- this first one I know to be true, since the TIE pilots wear masks and breathing apparatus) and shields. On the other hand though, there are three wings on that, so you could squeeze in a shield generator somewhere in there.

That was the case of the TIE starfighter, Interceptor and bomber.

The X-wing games WAY over-modeled the B-wing. The only thing the games had in common with the original movie design was pure firepower. If you go by what the SFX production teams used to compare performance when setting the space battle scenes in Return of the Jedi, the B-wing was very slow and not very maneuverable (slower and even less maneuverable than the Y-wing, which is routinely UNDER-modeled by the games). The B-wing fills a role more akin to the B-25H: she's a heavy gunship, not a fighter.

Space Spitfire X-Wing Thing!

The first part of the blink sequel was great! I watched Blink before hand just to get in the mood...Sally Sparrow was such a great sort!

Is that from a game? If so what, and is it worth playing?

No your a total dork for completely unrelated reasons. Recognizing a TIE Defender makes you a nerd. If you could also build a custom scale cockpit of a TIE Defender that would make you a geek. So in reality your a dorky nerd thats is dumber that a geek. :D

StarFury was from the TV series Babylon 5.
It WOULD have been a game. Sierra was developing a space-combat simulator that would have used real-world Newtonian physics and, from the demos that were released, would have been WELL ahead of its time as far as visuals go. But this was in the late-90s/early-2000s when Sierra was beginning its rapid spiral down the tubes by canceling what would have been GREAT games (Aces of the Pacific II, Desert Fighters, its ENTIRE adventure game lineup) in favor of Hoyle Classic Cards and Super Professional Championship Bull Riding.

i know this. i liked big and heavy weapons in those games... Personally i'd take a Tie Phantom over anything... but i actually liked game verisons. too bad its wrong...

Sierra actually made World in Conflict last year (or two years ago?)
-
Once upon a time Sierra was a great game company...too bad they don't actually do anything but publish stuff these days...especially since they were a great simulation maker as well. I was part of the early Beta test group for Desert Fighters and it was outstanding with very few gameplay bugs and they were hammering on the flight model and from what I remember it was very good compared to the games of its time, both online and offline.

Sierra needs to make a comeback :aok

blink was the best episode yet. if the sequel to it is nearly as good, it should send shivers up n down your spine. :aok

Sierra doesn't exist anymore. The name is only used for branding now but that's all it is.
And how's this for a coincidence:
In the late-90s Sierra was bought out by Vivendi, which was either itself or was owned by some French water company (I can't remember which off-hand, but either way WTF?!) This was about the same time Sierra began its trip down the tubes.
In the early/mid-2000s Universal, who owned the SciFi Channel, was bought out by Vivendi. Right about the same time as the sale, SciFi began its own downward spiral (see the "Best Three hours of Television" thread).
Things that make you go, "Hmmmm...."

I just started watching again - I took a 20 year hiatus from the older ones. Is the Blink episode the one about the statues that kill and cover thier eyes when you are looking at them - but move at ya when you turn or blink?
