Shouldn't this be in suggestions?

I remember Old 405...a1k0n gave us that HUGE roid spinning VERY fast and I lost what? 30-40 Vultuers trying to "thread the needle"!

Tunnel Roids aren't really that great, they do provide some cover and sniping places against those wouldbe cappers but other than that their just another roid in my way to the bots or the station.

Hey. Calm down. No, Itanis are not greedy, we (meaning me and three others) just happen to want to have a cool rock with a tunnel through it.

What defines "cool" in relation to "rock"? Are we talking about one made out of Hematite, or something similar? Is it shaped like Liza Minelli?

The adjective cool applies to whole rock with the tunnel through it. But, as Lemming says, it has to be ice :p.

NO MORE PETITIONS DAMMIT!!!!!!!

The word cool applys because it would be in space and space is VERY COLD!

/me starts a petition to invent a Serco Counter-part to the Valkyrie.

/me founds SSS (Serco Ship Systems) Inc. First product, an Anti-Valk Vessel (AVV) and Anti-Valk Missile (AVM) and Anti-Valk Laser (AVL)

/me realizes he has no money nor scientists...

/me goes back to SSS work, by himself

So far the SSS have come out with this:
*throws paper airplane*

This can be extremely dangerous against valks! Except, this requires air, and space has no air...
*throws paper airplane again*

How about you make sector 4 and 1 less laggy, always when I in them it lags really bad and the defbots cheats, well mabey only in 1...

Here's your first Itani saying NO to the question, not to the petition as a whole.

NO.

Reason: big rounded roids of that style (hole or no hole) kill my futzing fps. No f'ing way.

How did an innocent request for a rock turn into a thread about valks!?

I mean, I could pop in here and say "Ice cream is made of cheese", and instead of pointing out how wrong I was people would say, "SHUT UP ITANI SCUM! YOU HAVE A VALK!"

I want a rock shaped like a duck. I will not rest until the duck-rock is in sector 4.

I want a duck shaped like a rock. I will not rest until they flock south for the winter.

Genetically engineer one then..

Firstly, the SSS has developed this:
*Throws Frisebee*

And this is EXTREMELY dangerous to Valkyries when fired at high velocity. Of course, the explosives used to fire the Disk have tendencies to melt the disc. We're currently thinking Pie Pan...

As for the Paper Airplane, we're calling that SSS SDF #1 or the "Pulped Earth Tree Material Aircraft That Uses Puny 'wings' to provide lift through the weak Earth Atmosphere. Design credited first to IMI (Itani Military Industries).

INI is actually just the SSS in disguise under the Itani world...uhh, wait you didn't hear that from me.


And actually, a paper airplane thrown at the right velocity COULD kill a Valk. Afterall, a speck of paint 1cm squared once severely cracked the leading port window of the Space Shuttle Columbia. It hit at a velocity of several Million Miles per Hour (estimated speed) and if it had hit much harder NASA feared it might have actually broke THROUGH the window and vented the shuttles atmosphere.

Also, I meant to say I signed this thread since it wont really effect Serco Cap efforts and since capping is being eliminated "soon" then it wont matter to me. Might as well give the Itani the roid, keep them happy and quiet.

Trixy Itani Hobbities! /me agrees with Starfisher! You have your greedy fingers fooling with the valk, so why do you want this, NT or Secro do not have anything good except for the maud and prommy (duh!) and anyway cactus your noobish acting Itanis try to kill us with valks but in the end it usally never works!

Whoa, there. This petition didn't have in mind when it was started STRATEGIC possibilities. It was simply for a cool rock with a tunnel through it. Plus, you guys are welcome to valks. All you have to do is fly to sector 18, and throw down some cash on the counter. Away you fly with a brand new valk. ANYWAY, this thread isn't about the valk, or the equivilent (or lack thereof) of it for NT and Serco. This is a petition for a cool rock with a tunnel through it in sector 1.

/me tries to imagine herself as a dev reading this
eh I dunno whether I'd laugh or cry--itanis clamouring for a "cool rock with tunnel!"
=D
weirder suggestion: "why don't we just make roids vulnerable to energy weapons. ROID SCULPTURE! then the itanis will be happy, shaping roids to look whatever they want, with as many holes in it as they want. They could make a giant cheese-like roid (for cheesewarfare and ahh the power of cheese)... roguelazer could get a flock of duck-shaped roids"

I am joking of course ;)
