 Introduction:The Why |
Preface and Canon: The How |
Overview:The What |

04-01-10: There is experimentation in progress regarding some back-end stuff. Images and other portions of the site may be broken for extended periods. Thank you for your patience. 03-10-10: There are now 89 ships and objects on the Volumetrics page. Delta Flyer? Got it. Sydney Class? Got it. Republic Light Cruiser from TCW? Got it. Acclamator and Venator? Like butter, baby. Check them all out here. But alas, there's also a "mea culpa" to report . . . I've discovered that the ISD volume on the page has been wrong for years. Given how the ISD's shape means even small differences have radical results it's not terribly surprising, but I apologize nevertheless. It is now fixed and as close to canon as I can manage. A few other recent SketchUp-derived volume figures have also been revised as I've grown more used to dealing with both the program and the volume calculation plugin. 02-10-10: The Volumetrics page is updated and improved, with new ships and vehicles (a total of 74). Give it a gander here. 02-04-10: Unleashing a mega-page upon the world. That old SW reactor page from 2007 has become a comprehensive look at Star Wars power technology. From their fusion reactors to their liquid fuel to their electric wiring and even the overabundance of steam, the power of the Empire gets examined right here. (And incidentally, in the process of updating the Overview page to reflect the new conclusions, I came across a link to the old Death Star reactors page. It was amusing to see my point on fusion requiring argument there, given that it was confirmed later when the RotS novelization came out.) 02-01-10: Been hearing a lot of chatter lately about Trek ship fights not always being long range affairs, which is leading some debaters to try to claim that we can ignore all the long-range examples. That, of course, is absurd, but nonetheless I rewrote the end of the Trek range page to address such nonsense in an addendum. And, finally, updated the Star Wars range page with some SW:TCW info from NoLettersHome.Info. It's not quite as precise as the other SW range material, but it's there. 01-26-10: Having been totally ragged recently about my lack of updates, I decided to go look for something to do. Not only have I been working on the old Overview comparison page, but I also found a page from 2007 or so that looked almost finished. Sadly, it wasn't, but over the past few days I've gotten it closer. So, expect a page on Star Wars reactors soon. In the meantime, enjoy the partial update to the Overview page. I say "partial" because I've been messing with both pages for days and if I hadn't stopped work on one of them I'd have gotten tired of the whole affair. I'll work more on it soon. I'll send site use refunds to anyone disappointed in my sanity-over-quality hobby policy. :-) 09-26-09: In preparation for updates, I've rearranged the Star Wars weapon range page a little. Also, when I was reviewing various pages I realized something was missing from the old 2002 Wong debate page that I'd meant to add a couple of years ago. So, I made a little italicized note with pictures. 06-26-09: Made a small update to the Archive, of all places, and to the "Strange New World"[ENT1] star article, of all things. In any case, enjoy. Feel free to also check out NoLettersHome.Info for Clone Wars CGI show tech notes . . . incomplete, but then you didn't expect it to be, did you? :) |
