The oni went dead in the water. The exocet blew the command structure and the center armor clean off. Don't worry. My naval-launched version is already under-development.

Then can you post a download of your ship. I'd be happy to try.

It's 40 parts and 1.4 tons. The cost is in-line with my A2A missiles, though. Of course, I use it as a ship-killer. It won't be as cheap as I-beam or girder missiles. EDIT: I forgot to post this part. I made it to kill the LCS, but It'll destroy almost any other naval vessel if aimed correctly. Download: http://db.orangedox.com/mjYUZkXjuNAi...%20Final.craft

RIP HMS Sheffield. Exocet Block 2 has finished development. I can destroy probe cores through multiple layers of armor, and simultaneously destroy multiple internal structures through its new armor piercing fragmentation warhead. This missile is cheap and light. It weighs 1.4 tons, is 40 parts, and costs $18,000. Further mods of this weapon are under development, with an expected turbojet-equipped block III to be released if a 0.625 m jet engine is added to the stock game. The launch platform is the standard F/A-18 SH, but the jet with the two missiles before firing is slightly unstable. Exocet engines are lighted after you drop them, and are guided with the help of SAS. Max recommended range is 10 km. Sea and land-launch versions are already under-development.

French aerospace technology FTW. After strike.

Alright. Exocet Block 1 development completed. Combat trials will happen soon to gauge weapons capabilities against actual targets. EDIT: Exocet Block 2 has finished development.

Anyways, I'm planning on making a Matra Durandal. I've already got Exocet templates ready for testing. Don't worry, I'll show my new ASW arsenal soon. If my mines can't kill your ships, I'll just have to use my new toys.

While your points are rational, I believe convenience will override safety. Doctors and entrepreneurs are already discussing implanted health monitors with internet access that doctors can monitor in real-time... the utility of OTA updates for your prosthetics and implants will outweigh the risks for countless people. Just see how incompetent corporate security really is: do you really believe that a high margin industry will spend that extra dollar or two to secure their networks? I highly doubt it. Heck, Chinese hackers are infamous for hacking into medical databases to gain confidential patient info. What's to stop them from sending a fatal logic plague or microcode update to murder countless prosthetic users in the near future?

I'm fascinated by these responses... Here's my take on it: 1. Bio-synthetic technology will advance, most likely within 40 years, to the point of exceeding human capabilities. 2. I would willingly have non-conscious vital sections of my brain replaced and augmented if it came with large benefits and no inconveniences to my daily life. 3. I hope my insurance covers it... If I manage to get my neurosurgeon practicing license, I'll probably have a small co pay. 4. If my colleagues (adversaries) received them, I wouldn't hesitate in receiving drastic augmentations. 5. Why do you think I wouldn't hesitate to receive augmentations? 6. I wouldn't care if my wife was cyberized. Future technology could solve most potential problems. (ie: Researchers actually turned skin cells into eggs and sperm cells, which could actually be developed. It was in a joint South Korean and US medical study.) 7. If the full body prosthetic was passable, of course. We could always upgrade or replace the prosthesis as better models come out. 8. See my answer to question 6.

China developing supersonic submarine powered by a rocket motor.

The speed of sound is 4828.032 km/hr underwater. Good luck trying to create an amphibious antimatter drive. -
I'm not talking about just phones and the internet, but the idea of replacing, or augmenting, parts of our body with artificial substitutes. http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/187904-researchers-create-artificial-brain-like-structure-in-a-dish 1. Researchers believe that they now know the path of development to a much more reliable and non destructive brain computer interface chip. With these advances, coupled with the exponential growth in computing power and the advances in prosthetics, do you, KSP forum goers, believe that we will achieve full body prosthesis superior to that of our natural bodies? 2. If so, would you willingly choose to do so or refuse given the risk of computer security, or even on your moral grounds? 3. What about financial considerations? Do you believe that your insurance will cover these future operations? 4. Would you only accept augmentations in emergencies? 5. Do you believe that companies will discriminate against employees without augmentations due to lower capability? The other way around due to medical costs? 6. Would you willingly fall in love with a cyborg? 7. Finally, a more personal question. If, as a parent, your child was dying and could only be saved by receiving full-body prosthesis, would you allow them to die, or would you allow them to receive it? I ask this because, after speaking to my mother, she said that when a human is put into that type of a situation, they must be allowed to naturally die. I, on the other hand, believe that a full prosthesis is preferable to possible oblivion. Ghost in the Shell and Deus Ex explore these ideas, but I want to know what you guys think. PS: 8. How do you think we'll solve the problems with reproduction? I wonder how scientists will solve that issue, but I'll leave that up to your imaginations.

I remember the great waves of dead accounts and crushed dreams... I'd call it the forum analogue to WWII. (Or WWI. The destruction of the treaty of Versailles is almost parallel to the rocket builder company squabble).

I might be able to whip up an edited trailer. Also, I rather hope we achieve super luminal travel without an extinction level threat. I'd rather NASA get a working theory and implement it before I die (Or become a "ghost in a shell"). EDIT: I just got an idea for an AMV! Well, a music video, since it'll use interstellar's scenes, with the possibility of some Korra scenes.

Hehe. We've actually been on the forum for the same exact time. Of course, you're much better at building your spacecraft. (But I like to... spread democracy.)

Argh. Lots of school stuff right now, so I don't have time to refine the prototype. Here's an unarmed version. It has some fuel flow issues and a non final fuel capacity. It's also 388 parts, which is an extreme departure from my low part building philosophy. It's a relatively low part count and cost bomber for the large payload and capability it delivers to me. Don't forget SAS. It flies like the real buff. http://db.orangedox.com/dgFI8FYtdyt21LbWCx/B-52B%20Stratofortress%20CA.craft -
'Before the masters came, we were little tree dwellers.' DS9 reference. I've been saving that for a long time.

Servers going bad again. We need more ssd's.

I can post a download. Do you want to try out the second prototype. -

I made the wings as realistic as possible for their flight characteristics. They flex upwards at a slight angle when they catch lift, and they do flex a bit more when carrying a 40 ton payload and weighing over 80 tons. -

Prototype of the aerially deployed naval minefield. Any vessel hitting this area denial weapon at a high speed is a goner. I just need to perfect the dispersion system. Naval mine laying vessel incoming. My strategy underwent a revamp. I lay mines around the hostile fleet, preventing them from escaping, and then I subsequently destroy the vessels at range using my tomahawk cruise missiles. My AIM-9X and Iron Pike missiles could also work. -
I've got no problem with Korrasami either, but the insane (fun?) fan base of the Avatar series continues to demand a romantic entanglement. Also, that compound is terrifying. They use it for calibrating toxin detectors?! 0_o Just check out the Reddit Korra subforum... they're insane. http://www.reddit.com/r/TheLastAirbender/ Heck, it doesn't help that Azula's voice actor parodied 50 shades of grey. The creative team actually enjoys it... . https://twitter.com/GreyDeLisle/status/251544083502358528

My god... that video was terrifying. 2 pounds of mercury... 0_o. True... I always wondered how they ever managed to mass produce platinum... maybe metal benders can bend impurities out of ore? Also, Korra's story is pretty sad. Considering that most things in real life don't have a happy ending, the creators must be shooting for realism. I miss the old happy days of Avatar Aang. Anyways, random picture to cheer us up! Korrasami... I wonder how Korra prevented muscle entropy? (I'm catholic, but I'm indifferent to this ship.) Also, she didn't say a word in the last part of the finale, just like the doctor in the video after his mercury exposure. Mercury, or whatever it is, took quite a toll on her. If that was me, I'd probably have died... (Realistically, you can't survive a huge dosage of heavy metal being pulled into your bloodstream without an act of god, or the avatar state. Even Korra needed Suyin to pull out the mercury from her body using her metal bending before it inflicted too much damage.) But, as Makorra will probably win in the end. PS: If you injected a non fatal dosage of gallium/liquid metal into someone's blood stream, couldn't a metal bender copy Magneto's iron blood injection trick?
