I do have admit, that was an amazing sequence of stupedities.

stupidity hall of fame: even remotly considering letting something of significant power fall into the hands of the likes of calder...

This is a classic. I read it earlier, and re-reading it still makes me laugh.

Yes, one of the best stories ever put on this forum.

Man who loses battery, stealing battery, sues Spaceranger; still looking for the one who made him stupid.

Shoulda kept quiet about it, that thing would have been worth several fortunes on the open market.
I'da just used it to race in the Deneb Run, without telling anyone until it was over.

It woulda been a riot when you got popped by unnies leaving Sedina.

Well, I'm glad youguys can laugh at it at least. Looking at this thread makes me cry...

/me brakes down into a fit of uncontrolled hysterics... WAAH!

*sniff* someday *sniff* I might *sniff* be able to laugh too. *sniff*

I think I would have used it for a Deneb run or two and then sold it for a hundred million or so once we can load bats and stuff into cargo...

No use crying over spilt milk... or popped bats.

Hmm...reading through this again, Regan is the only one of you to have actually seen the NiCad...

Calder: Duped?

If so, I would laugh so fucking hard and give Regan a medal for one of the greatest jokes ever.

No smittens, he was firing constantly for over 30 seconds with his AGT just to prove he could.

Not duped? :'C

As much as I'd like to think I was...

I've seen a NiCad, targeted it, and took a screenshot (cropped and reassembled for size, I have a 1920x1200 screen!):

That is what happens when mere mortals meddle in the affairs of Gods...

Acutally, it'd be cool to hold a yearly lottery for a NiCad.

Does anyone else think the name NiCad is horribly ironic?

I mean, Nickel-Cadmium batteries aren't even good compared to most these days... I think I'd rather have one of those dev LiIon batts - what they got? 5000? hehe.

lol Cunjo, my brother and I were just joking about that the other day. Then again, why did the devs choose to have a bus as their ubership? Irony is the point. The worst stuff has the best in-game variants.

the devs do have a unique sense of humor, how else could they come up with /displayshippos?

Quick Sarahane take that post out. It's only funny if people dont know about it.
May 19, 2006 Cunjo link
oh comeon, displayshippos rocks.

I'd've liked to try killing HACs and Teradons with a tri-lawgun/dual-MP ragnarok... mmm NiCad...
