Exactly. Which is why one must be careful. Bloody dangerous things. Not like chemistry. We have nice safe names for things, like O-ethyl-S-[2(diisopropylamino)ethyl] methylphosphonothioate, for example.

I still love Computing more than Chemistry.

That would then be why you're doing computing, and I'm doing chemistry.
I'm trying to think of a way to get this thread back on topic, but I'm failing.

Does it NEED to be back on topic?

It would be nice to show willing.
I was going to try for a "who would win in a fight, Galactica or _______", but the only ship in her class and tech bracket I can think of is the Roger Young, and that... what is the phrase? Ah yes: "Sucks preposterous quantities of arse."

I've watched no further than the second episode, and so will now just sit, look clueless, and nod when queued.

The Roger young from Starship Troopers is the only ship I can think of in the size bracket with similar tech level, and it sucked (both ship and crew). Putting it up against a Sovregn, a Hyperion or a Nebulon B just wouldn't be fair.

Glactica versus the NX-O1?
Or a medical frigate out of Star Wars? then it might stand a chance...

The NX-01 would die horribly as the Galactica has actual guns and the NX is made of Bakofoil.
A medical frigate?! I always wondered why the Allicance bothered bringing an unarmed death trap along to a major fleet engagement...

Oh, also the Galactica is a lot bigger than the NX and could probably just ram it. Or blow it up with Vipers. Or a nuke. It is also faster...
Ok I think what I'm trying to say here is that the NX-01 is a big pile of excrement. ;D

The Medical Frigate is, in fact , a converted Nebulon B. The question lies in whether the X-Wing's shields would be suficient to offset the Viper's manuverability and superior numbers (the standard Nebulon has two squadrons, I believe the medical stripped it down to one. Galactica could set out 20 Vipers at the opening of the season, and probably 40 at full capacit with both pods) and how many nukes the shields could take (the galactica's armour will assuredly take quite a few knocks).

I take insult at that comment. Let us see...
Well, I think that that should be worthwhile. Chris, would you be wanting one?
