  1. The PSAT is only a practice SAT. You need to have a real 2200-2300 SAT or an ACT of over 32 to have a good score.
  2. SAT 2's are, to put it simply, a harder version of the SAT subjects and AP subjects condensed into categorized tests. You should research them yourself on websites like college confidential. Not taking AP classes is too bad, but you should have at least taken the hardest classes available to you and built a good relationship with some of your teachers. I'm not being racist, but the standard for getting into a top school is also dependent on your race. Asian Americans should have at least a 4.0, Caucasians at least a 3.75, African Americans a 3.5 and so on. Oftentimes, people with half white or African American heritage and another half Korean or Chinese heritage will only list white or African American on their admission forms. I'm 100% Asian American, so I can't do that. Supplemental tests and extracurriculars are vital to your college profile, but your GPA matters above all. Your admission essays are also very important, especially the tone and content you decide to put into the paper.
  3. Drexel and MIT are pretty good. The best are Stanford and Harvard, and Stanford has a lot of connections to the technology industry for out of college recruiting. You could also go to Pomona College and take half your classes at Pomona and the other half at Harvey Mudd. Those premier schools will demand at least a 4.0 GPA, an excellent attitude and charisma for your interview, excellent SAT scores of at least 2300, a lot of extracurriculars that clearly show your passions and also shows your dedication to a program or a cause, internships at engineering companies, good scores on your SAT 2's, subject tests, and AP tests, some good teacher recommendations, a sense of empathy, and much more. For Asian Americans, the bar's even higher due to Affirmative Action limiting the number of slots available to them in premier schools. Not fair, but we deal with the hand we're dealt. And the landscape for admissions to top schools has changed dramatically in the last few years. A lot of supposedly second rate colleges, even USC, have become some of the hardest to get into engineering and medical schools. You also have to see how the school treats graduates vs undergrads. Often times, schools will focus their resources and staff time to the graduates in the top research schools while the top liberal arts usually only accept under grad students in order to giver them the most attention. Getting into a top school can help with your career opportunities. At top companies like Qualcomm and Apple, unless you graduated from a top school or an ivy league, most people can kiss their chances of becoming director good bye.
  4. Sorry, New Zealand. I stripped your best ship of armor them used it for lulz as a missile target. That cruise missile will be inducted soon. I might just have to make a simple INS Kolkata Destroyer replica.
  5. Must have. My submarine shipyards are itching to make a proper submersible.
  6. Almost there. Only need forty (I'm not actually sure) more, and I'll be invading this club with warships. Just about to reach 470. I just need to build a helicopter that can fit on the back... ...And I know just the drone. The Navy QH-50 Dash. If only the technology for the small bearing existed right now. Anyways, the ship does have a lot of growth potential. I feel like adding an air defense missile loadout.
  7. My desktop (with shadowplay) is out of commission due to a lack of a wireless network adapter. I'll have to find a way to make a video without murdering my laptop.
  8. I unlisted it recently. A bit of a third part dispute on the audio track, but it'll be back. Riding the Korra/Avatar hype train. You can manipulate reddit viewers even more easily.
  9. Derpedi... Time to make a video of my naval fleet and air force. Viral marketing techniques are fun.
  10. Hmm. Prototype light scout vehicle armed with two hellfire missiles. Good for crowd control and special operations. Current missile range is 5 KM. Production Hellfires are expected to have an engagement range of at least About 8 KM.
  11. Lefora, which is the host for quite a few forums, is experiencing some technical difficulty as of now. I think it should be resolved soon. Also, I got a new colonial recon/exploration craft.
  12. Squad, please improve the water physics. I want to probe some moons with my maritime vessels. Subs would also force me to tinker around with x planes for better underwater and surface control. If Squad adds AIP/Li ion powerplants and electric drive shafts, or even nuclear reactors, it would be a boon for naval development.
  13. My previous block F-15 had external fuel tanks. This F-15 had them removed in favor of more chemical weapons payload. If I really wanted to, I could add a midair refueling module. I've already got a prototype KC-135 in the works. Midair refueling was possible long ago. This old picture proves that. That's an old refueling run with my long retired recon bird.
  14. Settle a score with any aggressive nation in one airstrike. https://www.dropbox.com/s/7yoseh9izrwnegt/F-15F-2%20Zed%202%20Dumb%20Bomber.craft?dl=0 The MK116 Weteye armed F-15 Kraken II. In clean configuration with all bombs expended, the jet cruises at 220 m/s at sea level, and can turn at 10 G's with a sustained 180-220 M/S, which shows the excellent energy keeping properties of the airframe. Droppable fuel tanks are available upon request. The configuration in the craft here has 6 binary sarin Weteye bombs. Future weapons under development for the USAF Chemical Arsenal include the M-55 binary agent VX missiles for increased retaliatory potential. Deploying the Sarin Bomblets. The "Evil Empire" must fall. The Iron curtain will
  15. Feeling a little down today, huh? It's for other purposes.
  16. Introducing, the all stock oblique AWACS. I don't even know. An exercise in stupidity in preparation for 1.0.
