Re: AMD or Intel?
Wow, that's an amazing CPU for 120 bucks. If I was going to build a computer now, I'd probably pick that one up. I'm not TOO keen on the differences between the two, but the cashe and bus speeds seem considerably different (as opposed to the minute hertz difference). And from the comments it looks l...

Re: AMD or Intel?
This is a couple months old, but I figure I'd toss my 2 cents in for anyone looking. If you're looking for a mildly expensive, but excellent CPU, look no further than the intel Core 2 Duo E8400.

Happens all the time in the United States, too, though.

Re: VOY: The Gift
Just to back up a bit. Tom was knocked back down to Ensign after that trouble with that water planet-ish thing. I don't think his responsibilities changed that much, if at all. Then they brought him back up to Lt. later on. Why not toss Kim a bone while they were at it? If rank didn't matter, why bo...

Re: Ship nits on main site
Wait... weren't you saying that the New Orleans-class was underpowered compared to the Interepid, and now you're saying its strength is overstated? :confused: As Stitch said, I think trying to compare Star Trek ships and their destinations and modern (IE world war 2) equivalents is silly. The diffe...

Re: Ship nits on main site
50% greater firepower is more or less equal: WW2 warships typically had over five times the broadside energy of the next lower type (battleships to cruisers and cruisers to destroyers). Regardless of the KE of each broadside for WW2 era ships, it has little meaning at DITL. Look at how close the st...

Re: Ship nits on main site
It seems odd to mention a ship is capable of engaging a ship so much weaker than themselves.
It's like saying a battleship is capable of engaging a torpedo boat. Usually in that sort of context you'd name a ship with more or less equal power.

Re: Ship nits on main site
Indeed, the entirety of the New Orleans entry is created by by Graham. Even down to its name. But wouldn't it make better sense to try to keep the entries and strengths consistent? Again, purely from Graham's imagination, it says from the Intrepid entry, "Fitted out with Type VIII phaser arrays...

Re: Ship nits on main site
Ah, let me clarify. I didn't mean the overall strength index, but rather strictly the offensive power of both. Both ships have nearly the same phaser power--the Intrepid shockingly has a the edge by the barest of margins. The torpedo power, however, is hopelessly lopsided in favor of the Intrepid, h...

Re: Ship nits on main site
It still seems odd. The NO is almost 2/3rds again as large (volume wise) than the Intrepid. And for a ship that, at least to me, seems to be a dedicated torpedo ship, it seems odd that a *much* smaller dedicated explorer/science ship out arms it by such a considerable margin. True, Voyager is more a...

Re: Ship nits on main site
Just a quick question: The Federation's New Orleans is supposed to be armed with "three torpedo tubes of the most modern type available." The Galaxies came out 2 years earlier according to the site and are armed with type two burst fires. Even assuming that the NO's torpedo tubes are, say,...

Re: I present the Discovery-class
Original? You mean how they're recycling pre-BC raiding content? Using recolored armor sets and BGs built around the amazing new concepts of take and hold and capture the flag? I loved the game to bits, but please keep a firm grasp on reality. Now back to STO. I'm a bit more forgiving on the Intrepi...
