Author Topic: DGIII Air Usage (Read 2936 times)

This is a very trivial and small thing that I noticed the other day.

Shouldn't (re)pressurising the airlock use up air faster than the normal usage rate. I have done a little experimentation and
I have found that it does not use up air. Does the airlock run off a seperate secret tank, or is it just a feature?

hehehe....let me take a stab at this one:

1. Are you correct? Almost certainly yes.
2. What are the chances Dan is going to fix this? Almost certainly zero.

Somehow I don't see this as being high on Dan's list of "things I need to get done"

Pity, Atom finally uses his brain but in the end his efforts are futile.

Hey, it was just a stab in the dark. I didn't expect it to be fixed. And Doc, could you please sort out Krytom he's making me
upset.

Children, Children.

Let 'em go, Doc. This looks like it could be fun ... again.

The Plutonian Republic is getting its ships ready for the coming conflict!

All two of them. Hey, this is just like the Canadian military!! 8o
Never even realized that.

Alright, alright, kids, take it to the political thread!

Hey, I was only joking. Let's not make war right after we have made peace.
If the conflict must continue then I think that it is not necessary to involve the military. I'll just say NI
instead.

Hmmmmm....We, however, are the knights that say "shebangutlawytp-kaPLNG"

I was joking too--in fact, I haven't stopped joking since I hit this forum way back when......take all my comments with
a shaker of salt, please

*doc makes a terrible grimace*

Oh, man. I can't take any more salt!

Anyway, about the oxygen tanks. For the sake of argument, let's say that they ARE separate for the airlock. And no
it's not a bug, as usualy, it's a feature

I'm off to the "other" thread to politically beat the crap out of you

Actually, my original reply in this thread was mainly designed to see if I could get a rise out of that Dan character

What other thread???? Where?? Wha??????? Oh, THAT thread....*warming up the phase cannons JUST in case...*

I think this whole discussion calls for a use of the Coda Duello.

Format: Think back to a very funny movie "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines". By now, it's old enough to be
regarded as a classic. If you haven't seen it, you have my heartiest recommendation.

Regard closely the duel scene between the French pilots and the German general. Method of duel: light-gas balloons and
blunderbuses.

And the outcome will be ... ?
