[quote who="joeball123" reply="52" id="3416462"]No. Absolute zero is the temperature at which the kinetic energy of atoms/molecules/subatomic particles/anything else has gone to zero. Having something be at a temperature less than absolute zero would imply that the kinetic energy of the particles involved was negative, which requires either negative mass or imaginary velocity (if you have both negative mass and imaginary velocity, your kinetic energy is real and positive, but your momentum is

GRG isn't really meant to be used on frigates, it is meant to be used on caps, SBs, and titans...if it is doing more damage than it was otherwise against 2 of those 3 things, I think it is safe to say that is a buff....when trying to kill caps and titans, you will be facing max mitigation for most of the battle anyway, so you don't really benefit from the "mininuke" effect that the original GRG had... It is also a buff against Advent since Advent have shield regeneration (a fa

@MottiKhan I am fully aware of how black body radiation works...obviously though you are not... Just because the peak wavelength of a star falls into the green range of the visible spectrum does not mean the star is green...the very diagram you post in fact shows exactly why this is -- in order to have a peak wavelength in the green range, you must inevitably emit lots of red and blue light, which we as humans see together as white light...thus our star is white (with some yel

With telescopes we are easily able to see an immense number of stars, none of which are green...even if there are green stars, it's apparent that they are so rare, statistically we would never expect to see them in a realistic random map generator that technically could spawn them... I might as well say unicorns do not exist, at least not to our knowledge...you might actually have better odds finding a unicorn than finding a green star... You are of course welcome to cling

The error only started in Entrenchment...I am 99% sure that if you have aerias with 3 command points but only 2 squadrons, you can get that error occasionally...lots of mods that frigates with 3+ squadrons but only 2 squadron types have flooded error logs with that error...probably applies to hangars too, but I only tested it with frigates....

Reply to Help: Remove mines in Sins Modding Sins Forums

^^ is true.... however , if you have aeria's flying around with 3 command points but only 2 squadron types to pick from, you will get an error message, something like Squad != 0...it is harmless but it will flood your logs and crop up a lot if you allow error messages to pop up in game....

Reply to best Cap ship in Strategy Sins Forums

Radiance is not a good lead...I used to think it was okay but after trying it extensively I've found the prog to be so much more useful...in the end you are only thankful you have a radiance when your enemy has a high level marza...honestly though, malice and colonizing makes it easier to win early fleet battles, and that in turn reduces the likelihood your enemy gets a high level marza....additionally, shield regeneration helps counter orky rushing and in a pinch MB as well...

Unless you would like me to go into how fluid friction is different from kinetic friction...but we don't need to go there, do we?
