Pirates Beware: you are a "Red Shirt!"!
Well I just thought of something rather humorous about the whole Equus Quad Wing INterceptor idea.. and this will make any pirate or sane personthink twice about taking out a bank loan..
It's the color of the ship..
Bright red...
Now if MA had been smart,and I mean really smart, any smart player wants one word.. and that is stealth... and in fact that's the problems when you're in space... Space is darkish grey if not black with a background of small twinking lights.. but because a ship is black on black or dark grey, the end result is you're hardly seen..
And in Monty Python style..
the object of getting through any PVP area is in fact on how to being seen
But come on MA,
bright Red?
And then the humor hit me... and this is hilarious..
Now if you think that it only happens in games, then let's put this into real life and I'm going to spell it out with a person.. One
Manfred von Richthofen better known to the world as
"The Red Baron"..
Now Mr. Manfred von Richthofen was in fact a German fighter pilot during the first world war, betwween 1915 and 19and it's not the fact that he wasn't a bad pilot.. he was in fact one of the best war fighters out there shooting dowm some 80 enemy pilots .
But his most famous signature aircraft he flew was in fact, His
bright red Fokker DR I triwing airplane..
Note what i jsut said..
Bright red..
Now back in the world war era, the usual camoflague of any fighter aicraft was either blue and or white (Clouds and sky) and not
bright red.. And the Camoflauge is the art of Not being seen. But no Von Richthhofen had all his planes panted .. what else? Bright Red.. (after all this is why he was known as
The Red Baron..)
But does anyone know how Manfred von Richthofen died?
He took a sincle .303 caliber sniper bullet to his plane which hit him in the chest, and went through his heart and one of his lungs... and who fired this fatal shoit?
Not an aircraft with a machine gun, but rather a land based sniper.. who was carrying a .303 calibne carbiner, who saw the
bright red plane that was Von Richthofen's trademark logo, and in the end he got killed.. after killing 80. other pilots. How many more could he have killed if he wasn't red? 100? 200? 500? Who knows? .
But in the end, he died cause he was riding in his trademark
bright red.triplane of his..
And finally we come to the future.. and in fact this goes back to a popular and still popuilar franchise.. I'm referring to
Star Trek..
annd whatdid the original series have? Security men and women who beamed down with the main character to protect them..
and what were they wearing? Yep , you guessed it..
Bright red shirts..
and what have we learned? Richthofen died in his bright red plane.. and these guys? Well what do you think happens when you wear red? The video is the answer..
So pirates and people who are smart take this simple advce..
"If you're wearing or driving something red...
Youre dead..."
Enough said.
