Here we go again over the length of an Executor class star destroyer. We all know about this 11 mile star destroyer, right? This guy thinks it's 12.8 km, because the "official" website says so (where did those guys get that number from, anyway?).

Should I contact the people who wrote the official web page and ask them to review their estimants? Do you think they will even listen?

He also thinks that Imperator class is incorrect term for the "Imperial" class star destroyer.

Inline the pic, it's messing up the format.

If you're talking about TF.N...you're talking with people that really have no idea of what they speak of at times anyways.

I'm surprised no one else has made this little modification to that pic. http://www.geocities.com/chronom_factor/sdcompare.txt

Syntax is a prick.

He was an ass to Vympel when he went over there and insults Saxton regularly. He's a dipshit troll.

As have already been pointed out..... 12.8 is in the exact middle of 8 and 17.6. This is probably not a coincidence. It also means that most likely, the author of the page would still be unwilling to let go of the 8 km end.

Well, this jerk does not have the amazing abilities of logic and reason, so it would mean nothing to him.

In addition : has anyone else noticed they put the height as 12.8 km here? Dumbasses......

Yes, I did

But that would make it the official height

There's no question this guy's a fucking moron but at least we can slap him around like a little bitch till we get bored.

Interestingly enough, a quick and dirty pixel count would make it so that the official length to be around 150 km.

Yes, but be careful; I'm sure he'll get the mods to ban us if we're "mean"

(no bad words

)

Well, fuck them then. I don't give a shit if they do. I'm just doing this to kill some time.

Yea, that's why I love it over here. I just like to visit there to see if anyone knows if there are any good Star Wars toys in the works

*shrug* I'm owning Syntax as we speak.

Lord Darth Bob....

Haha, we were just reported to the mods. What a jerk.

Other things I've noticed :

Syntax doesn't like to give his own numbers.

He doesn't understand perspective, when he's giving his first example of something that might contradict a 17.6 km length. (He uses an example in which the ISD is in front of the Executor, apparently not realizing that this would at best give a lower limit of the Executor size. If I held my thumb up in front of the screen, thus that mean the Executor is only two thumb-widths wide? For this to get an exact answer we'd have to know that the planes intersecting the widest portions of each ship are on the same plane perpendicular to the line of sight of the camera.

He gives an example with panning and different scrolling rates, apparently not realizing that ships are capable of movement.

His second example gives no calcs, just the assertion that it provides a number that's "not 17.6". Pray tell, what is the number then? What can he tell us from this besides the size of the window, which we already know because there's people walking about?

He's a fucking coward and a no-math moron. What the hell do you expect.

Hmm, to last more than just ONE flame, I guess. Oh, well.

I didn't. His is just style over substance and no-math mentality. If he really had a case he would have made it a long time ago.

I wasn't.

If you want to make ANY progress there, you do not openly assault their canon policy or seem overly aligned with Saxton or SD.net or Wong.

They'll discredit you and just shut you out.
