New Planet for Elliot to model

Post by tjhkkr »

For you astronomy fans, scientists have found a new planet out there made primarily of diamond.
I wonder how Elliot will model that for us in DW. [8D][8D][8D]

And another one: stars cooler than the human body...
Perhaps they have been drinking too much Romulan ale... [:D]

Interesting i just happened to be looking at that exact news page about the "Diamond planet" right before i came to this post?

But perhaps if it were to be implemented into the game it would have a high scenery rating.

That's amazing!

The chilling fact about those brown dwarfs is that, every star will eventually become like this and the entire universe will become a cold, dead place.

Laughing hard. Well you heard it guys. It is not Data who is raiding IGard's cargo bay... he is a poor misunderstood android [:D]

Or maybe a new mining planet.
Probably would need a new mining model if he includes that in DW.


Here is another one if anyone is interested: star swallowed by a black hole...
[Maybe THAT is where IGard's ale is disappearing to.] [And NO, NO, NO! I AM NOT calling Data a black hole [:D]]

There'll be plenty for whoever is left standing by then since the entire universe will become a cold, dead place [:)]

Well, all I have to do is develop faster than light travel in the next 10 years, then I can hook a galactic tow truck to it and haul it home. I'd be rich beyond my wildest dreams. [:D]
