Ok, trekkies arent all bad. there are some of us who are decent trek and wars liking people. Of course, there are some of us we would rather others not see. Take a look at this website, as it is one of them that we would rather didnt put their work on the internet. Be warned, this is an atrocity from the start: www.viperfleetyards.mystarship.com

So dont stereotype us all into the one, 'rabid trekkie' genre, like we dont stereotype all wars fans into the 'rabid warsie' genre.

Hehe, im a TrekkieWarsie both at the same time!

Just a little note. I have yet to see a single person at SD.net complain about rabid warsies. Rather then just bitch about the rabid trekkies, why not post a few idiot warsies and let us have some fun with them.

If a trekkie can attack a rabid trekkie, then a warsie ought to attack a rabid warssie.

No offense, but Darth Wong is pretty rabid if you ask me IMHO, as well as a few others

What the hell is that shipyard site?

Okay, those are the dumbest looking ships i have ever seen. When i realized that big ship was part Whitestar, i closed the window. 50 bucks says the Omega Destroyer kills every ship there.

These are all just so-called Kit Bashes. All that he has done is taken existing ships, resized them (and the resizes look really crappy), and stuck em on other things. This guy took the top section of hull from the Voyager, sized it up, and took the nacelles and sized them down and made a shuttle. he didnt even take the windows off. So, apparently, he has a 8 deck shuttlecraft!!! he used the nacelles off the Ent-E and didnt even take NCC-1701E off the back, just stuck em on some other hulls! See, this is what makes us look bad.

You wanna talk about why that site sucks? I got one word for ya: "Stashon"

Enlightenment · Post by **Enlightenment** » 2002-10-05 06:23pm

That site is a pretty clear demonstration of why people with no talent shouldn't put their 'art' on the net. Wait until you know what you're doing before putting stuff up on display...

This guy should learn to spell first, before he makes "advanced" starships that look like shit.

"This stashun is dubel the size..."

OMFG, LMFAO, that spelling is a RIOT!

I would say, the starships are weird to say the least but the spelling errors are far more how should I say "unpleasant".

Master of Ossus · Post by **Master of Ossus** » 2002-10-05 11:23pm

The grammatical and spelling errors are exceeded only by the stupidity of grafting ships and stations together just to make them bigger while (in many cases) eliminating the original strengths that made designs successful.

quite the "chop" shop ship gallery most of those ships are hidious

So sad; kit-bashing, when done well- can produce things like, say ... a Star Destroyer (which warise doesn't know that it's a kit-bash). In this case- it's just ludicrous.

The truth is I've never seen a 'rabid Warsie'. What kind of stupid shit do they say? Any quotes?

Slartibartfast · Post by **Slartibartfast** » 2002-10-06 12:29am

That site is also an abomination against hypertext formatting and other stuff.

I think that building crappy ships is the least of his atrocities.

I just quoted one right there.

Technically we are all rabid. As near as I can tell, your rabidity is relative to the mainstream thought of peopel who enjoy your series. As most of the regular populace enjoys Wars and a far less number go to the trek movies (evidenced by movie grosses), Star Wars is more mainstream. Therefore people who would put the time, money and effort into building sites like this one and debating this would qualify as rabid. Trek is a bit further off the main line, and as such it's rabid people are too.

And since most average folk have no clue what Babylon 5 is, the fivers are just plain off the map, explaining why every last one of them is rabid and invokes the "Rabid Fiver Jihad" in debates.

As an editor, I was sorely tempted to mail-bomb that person's residence.

I think everyone here knows (in the online sense) Mike Wong.

Another shining example of a rabid Warsie would be Rocketgirl over on SB. She once suggested that Trek fans should be called Trekists because it 'sounds like rapist.'

That's strange. The Romulans are using photon torpedoes instead of their own plasma ones, now.

Yep, no offence Mike, but you clearly qualify as a rabid warsie!

that has less to do with her being a Warsie (which she admittedly is) and more to do with her eternal loathing and hatred for Trek...

Post by **Vympel** » 2002-10-06 05:02am

Erm I wouldn't call Mike a rabid warsie.

When I think 'rabid trekkie' my criterion is simply some fucking idiot who thinks all sorts of stupid crap when it comes to Star Trek- usually leading to the ultimate conclusion that ST would beat SW.

I don't think 'rabid' should encompass presenting valid arguments as to why ST would get its ass kicked by Wars.

Master of Ossus · Post by **Master of Ossus** » 2002-10-06 11:45am

The term "rabid," when applied to our debates, denotes someone who bends truth in order to draw flawed conclusions, usually in a severely biased manner. Thus, Mike is not a rabid warsie. Warsies who claim that ISD's can easily vaporize planets because they can also BDZ them are clearly rabid, as are warsies who believe that SW ships are completely immune to [insert random form of radiation/weapon here].
