Humphrey: Prime Minister I must strongly protest in the strongest possible terms, my profound opposition to a newly instituted practice which imposes severe and intolerable restrictions upon the ingress and egress of senior members of the hierarchy and which will in all probability, should the current deplorable innovation be perpetuated, precipitate a constriction of the channels of communication and culminate in a condition of organisational atrophy and administrative paralysis which will render effectively impossible the coherent and coordinated discharge of the function of government within her Majesty's United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Hacker: You mean you've lost your key?
And this gem
Sir Humphrey: With Trident we could obliterate the whole of Eastern Europe.
Jim Hacker: I don't want to obliterate the whole of Eastern Europe.
Sir Humphrey: It's a deterrent.
Jim Hacker: It's a bluff. I probably wouldn't use it.
Sir Humphrey: Yes, but they don't know that you probably wouldn't.
Jim Hacker: They probably do.
Sir Humphrey: Yes, they probably know that you probably wouldn't. But they can't certainly know.
Jim Hacker: They probably certainly know that I probably wouldn't.
Sir Humphrey: Yes, but even though they probably certainly know that you probably wouldn't, they don't certainly know that, although you probably wouldn't, there is no probability that you certainly would.
hilarious, although besides bein a great xample of humor this sounds like it could be an example of probabilistic psychology--wonder if this subfield even xists?

As the title of the thread suggests, either text or graphic is fine, just don't go posting some uber monster that has us all going wtf or simply falling over with laughter. Even modeling efforts can get the same reaction, as you might see if you go back a few pages. One poster here really got sodded off, because he took critique a little bit too harshly and never came back
u mean as in uber monster with a conceptual so self-contradictory b/c o paradoxical stats?
Sketchup can do brilliant things look at some of my stuff all of it is made with SU and it can do it in half the time it takes in blender or most other programs.
I meant I, bein a newbie usin Sketchup, practiced fr few hours bef sketchin any ship concept that looked better than a few standard 2-D shapes thrown together (circle, triangle, square); it'd take me a while just to visually manifest even a fighter I already had a quite detailed idea of had in my head; utilisin the system of cg line n curv variations to sketch designs gracefully, synthetically, n efficiently after masterin the more basic sketchin skills; welp, i'lll to throw lots time to inevitably improve my skill

Gunship, frigate, carrier,bomber, troop transp, n others not yet. Above all, want them to have Stargate-ish Furling-s-as elves-like vis essence , as opp to havin Warhammer, Shadowcraft, Fading Sun, etc, etc n etc visual essence.

just curious--do u also do civvie engineering?
n curious how that job accomodates ur deployment?
If you mean civil engineering, no that's a different field altogether. And being a Mechanical Engineer does help in my Naval realm. As a CDT officer we're often faced with IED problems that require a mechanical approach, rather than electrical sometimes.

second, yes the Furlings bear much resemblance to the elves in many ways.
as for tech, why not have a combo of crystal and organic tree-like?
Now for probably a first here on OSDT, I'm going to agree with the Killman, GW etiquette, save your texting for your cell phone, write out full words and sentences here, you'll be more appreciated then, otherwise people will ignore you in time. Tree like? Hmmmm, I've often thought of the Furlings as elves, but organic tech, doesn't seem to ring true with the race that was on a par with the Ancients
I always think of the nox as the organic type, but im sure there may be many advantages with organic technology like the nox and wraith.
My crystal was to be a combination sensor pallet and prismatic cloaking device, i see the furlings as the secretive stalk in the shadows type, apart from the asgard the other 2 races in the alliance were big on cloaking tech. but the asgard didnt have to live in our galaxy so i think the furlngs were big on it too.
The ship i had in my mind was like a stretched version of the dial device from the utopian planet ep, with a opaque to clear crystal running at the front with a gold tan hull and purple running lights
