Another Pyro-like ship in Miner Wars
« on: May 26, 2011, 05:33:52 AM »
Spotted this image of a "Jacknife" concept ship on the Miner Wars web site



I particularly noted the forward swept drop wings which even include the 2 horizontal stripes.

Cool.

Still hoping for a release sometime soon.  Not giving up hope yet.

Looks a little like a Magnum, doesn't it?  8)

Agreed, though "Jackknife" seems less like a tank (slow, big weapons, big armor) name to me.  Stylewise it looks more like it would be a mid-range ship (balanced weapons/armor/speed).

yeah, part of it does look like a pyro or some sort of Descent ship.
nice colors.

It does look more midrange. not so much a magnum. it looks too bulk to be a phoenix type either. mid is good.

i don't think so. there is something about the front that does. I'd say the word, but I fear it's still being banned. the c-pit.

This is a forum that deals with games where you fly in a spaceship. If you couldn't say cockpit, something would be seriously wrong.

I can't remember that ever happening here.

Besides, a test sentence:

"On the commander's orders, the musketeer went through the several stages needed to cock his gun"

you guys are either being very sarcastic, or something is seriously wrong with my mind. this is the ONLY forum I go to that even has anything to do with ships. maybe it was planetdescent.com that had those issues with the word cockpit.

If I lost my mind, I lost it. I knew it would happen sooner or later.

In the seven or so years I've frequented on this forum, on both PD.com and PD.net, I have never seen, nor thought there would be a need, "cockpit" be bleeped out. Never even made the connection until you pointed it out Vanguard, not that I feel the need it be changed or anything now.

It really is the usage that matters. I people here were in the habit of using words in a crude manner, then yes it would get added to the filter.

On a small forum like this, there isn't a big need to bleep anything out, as the mods can read everything, and perform moderation as needed. Of course, that also means there is no guarantee someone won't happen to see something inappropriate. Does anyone really want a board where you have to be so concerned about a strict filter that you have to type c-pit instead of cockpit?
