Description
A promotional render by KillaBC, not in game.
For your desktops, walls and maybe even your toilet door.
I don't know.... this might be in game..... "oh hello Garak, you look irked WAIT NO!....." x.x
How about for toilet paper?
I like a challenge.
ok, I will print it on sandpaper
no way this is game it can't be.
I vote for dollar bills!
Mister Garak i trust you have my new uniform polished and ready for me when i return to DS9 ?
"you'd shoot a man in the back?"
"Well it's the safest way isn't it?"
He makes a good point.
Considering how logical cowardice can be, it's amazing it's not considered a virtue.
Actually it WAS considered a virtue in the past. More precisely, BEING SMART was considered a virtue, and at some point in time being smart was twisted into cowardice for cultural/political reasons. In Antiquity and the early European Middle Ages, chasing and slaughtering fleeing enemies was the norm because it's the smart thing to do - the one who flees today can come back to fight tomorrow. The whole "honorable conduct" BS was invented when the professional warriors aka Knights (or the Samurai in Japan, same story) were threatened by gunpowder weapons and needed rules of engagement to protect themselves. So don't worry, it'll come back at some point. :D
Finally someone who I agree with on the whole 'cowardence' thing.
Many methods and stratigy's are considered being a coward because its not a 'fair fight'.
In the words from I game I once played and stand by "In battle there is only one rule, survival, you can debate ethics later."
Well I just think when people are intent on killing each other, morals and ethics have been pushed out the window anyway. At the point where you are at war with one another, you already failed in that department.
I'd just like to point out that I'm not actually advocating cowardice. Just because it makes sense sometimes doesn't make it a good thing.
That said, I run screaming from the room if I see a spider, so what would I know? :)
He who fights fair loses.
Look at the way the romulans were drawn into the conflict....
I would describe that as 'clandestine', rather than 'cowardly'.

Hi there, by accident stumbled upon this discussion and just wanted to correct you CowabungaKid a bit. I believe that the whole chivalric code came much sooner than firearms became actually dangerous for the armored warrior. It was somewhat reflection of a selfperception the elite of that time, knights included by default, had about it self. Point is they considered themselves noble and in all aspects more valuable then your average solider or levy thus it was a prudent course of action to capture enemy noble and then later on ransom him for a fat sum.
However I do agree with you that, as you said, "being smart" was a virtue and would emphasis it with just 2 examples - Thermopylae and Teutoburg forest.
Cheers
thanks killabc
now i finally have eye candy to inspect whilst sitting on the throne.
For when a dirty magazine just won't do... ;)
Go for the thermal exhaust port, they said... It'll start a chain reaction that'll destroy the station, they said...
this can't be in game no way.
That's why the description says "promotional render by KillaBC, not in game". It actually looks like he took a screenshot from DS9 and put game assets in it. The motion blur on the bug ships and the CGI explosion look pretty 90s.
All made by me no screen cap overly. ;)
you sir are banned from this page!
Hey, just saying, as far as recreating a scene from the series goes, this is pretty much perfect.
It says it's a promo, like, right there. *points at top right of screen*
then by all means............. fire
Is there any way to make the ship physics a bit more meaty and weighty? And maybe a way to stop ships into running into eachother and just staying still?
Nice Call to Arms remake.
