Fucking LOL!! The funniest "Rise" scaling i have e
This was posted by our every day moron SlobbaTheHutt as scaling to the Rise asteroids.
==============================================
I'll show you a way to scale without counting the damn pixels.
I shrunk the pic of Voyager firing it's torp so that the torp looks about the same size in both pictures. I pasted the shrunken voyager pic over the planet. See how dinky voyager is? That asteroid certainly looks bigger than 44 meters! It actually looks like it might be 500 or more meters long.
In this pic you can see approximately how big the glow of the torp is compared to the falcon. Now go back and look at the top picture and see how totally inaccurate your 44meter estimate is.
=============================================
Go ahead and laugh your ass off, that was the only thing i could do.

The point is to show that there still are some absolute morons who cannot even scale one goddamn asteroid correctly from a shitload of clear reference info.Lord Sauron-Tyranus-Vader wrote:You've lost me, what is the point of this thread?

Master of Ossus: Take a look at Darkstars feedback page - people the world over believe him apparently.
Comment: Hi there!
Great site, Robert!
Comment: Great site, really shows up some of those crap Warsie claims
Comment: I saw Mike Wong's site before yours and although it was obviously biased against anything remotely Trek I almost started believing that the Galactic Empire could wipe out the UFP with but one ISD... thank you for changing my opinion.
There are many, many more take a look and you will see that a lot of people do believe him.

Yeah well most of the guys that support DarkStar seem to be some moronic trekkie idiots like SlobbaTheHutt, the new page on his site that adresses some points from EU for instance is pathetic, those points he uses have been adressed several times and there is no contradiction to the energy levels that EU mostly an AOTC:ICS gives.
Offcourse there are comments that insult Mike's site, after all Mikes site is based on facts unlike DarkStars wanking fantasies like that the AT-ST is a frontline heavy attack vechile and if it sucks in ground combat then all SW ground vechiles must. There is lots of bullshit stuff in his site, offcourse it is easy for some stupid trekkies who dont even understand most of the text given in Mikes site but yell "BULLSHIT!!! LIAR!!! BIASED BITCH!!!" and so on. to go to DorkStars site and fine lots of nice numbers and completely ignore the flaws in his ways used to derive those numbers and conclusion.
DarkStar is a moron and i know im not the only one with this oppinion.

My guess is that the majority of his e-mail is genuine, but that he is highly selective about the ones he actually posts.Kamakazie Sith wrote: As I was reading his feedback page I entertained the idea that he wrote those himself.

The scary thing is that in this case, Slobba's scaling is actually MORE accurate than DarkStar's, because DarkStar uses the final frame of the torpedo being fired to scale the asteroid (when the torpedo is as far away from Voyager as possible, so as to make scaling work more subject to error). At least Slobba uses the torpedo while it's being fired (and closest to Voyager) to make his assessment.Rightous Fist Of Heaven wrote:Dunno but Slobba is a great admirer of DarkStars work and he keeps DarkStar as the best deffender of Trekpaladin wrote:Are Darkstar and Slobba related?

I'm pretty sure for every fan mail he gets, he recieves 100 offers for debate, calculationts refuting his site's cliams, and notices from the insane asylum.Master of Ossus wrote:My guess is that the majority of his e-mail is genuine, but that he is highly selective about the ones he actually posts.Kamakazie Sith wrote: As I was reading his feedback page I entertained the idea that he wrote those himself.

I actually believe a fair amount of that feedback is real. Having lurked in the Treknology forums, it turns out he is rather respected there.
What is even scarier is that he is one of the more rational people there.
