wing commander 4 jump drive?

[poopnoodle]

hello everyone,

ive been thinking about wing commander 4 lately and i was wondering why the blacklance ships (and the false BW ships) use an explosive devise jettisoned to allow it to jump.

what is this device?

and

why dont they use standard jump drives like everyone else?

thank you

They... don't...

are you talking about the trick Seether does with the mine? That's just him showing off, and doesn't have anything to do with jumping. He drops a mine, hits the afterburners at the right time and rides the blast in normal space.

The more I think about it, the more that nickname scares me.

The Guy who played Seether (Robert Rusler) also played Lt. Warren Keffer in Bablyon 5.

Then the game designers did their job. I first heard Seether and kindof got a little chill.

C-ya

I think Chris was referring to "poopnoodle" and not Seether.

thanks everyone

i was under the impression that it was an experimental new form of jump technology that the blacklance got a hold of. in the first mission of wc4 the avenger flown by seether did the "mine trick" and as the ship left sight range there was a lightt that looked like a jump point formation.

and

thanks for the input on the name

 

[Ripper]

Yeah, but now you're stuck with it.

I would think the name refers to an intestinal tapeworm, which, when excreted w/ the "material", could conceivably look like a noodle.

::shudders::

Never rule out the possibility that it could just be a noodle made of poop.

I mean I have a pasta maker and you can put anything in it. It's concievable that someone could make noodles from poop if they just add it in as an ingredient and remove a little flour.

AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I ain't goin' sleep good tonight with the thought of a noodle of poop on my mind! Thanks guys!

I like Seether's knife

They're commercialy available -- Seether's knife is a United Cutlery 435 Double Shadow (they're no longer made, but are almost always available on eBay for between 50 and 100 dollars... there's also 'gold' version of the same design that's cheaper.).

Thanks for the info.

Here's a pic of Lt. Warren Keffer from B5

I'm too tired to reply to most of the posts I probably should today... but I had to point this out...

Death already made fun of poopnoodle's name in an official capacity, therefore this fun making is somewhat redundant.
