corrupted the minds of nieve and uneducated internet goers.

Everytime I visit a new site or forums based on Starships, at least 90% of them have information copied directly from the original UP.

How many times have you come across a site that claims the Steamrunner is a Uber-ship, that entered the battle with only 0.047% of it's systems operational, and yet kicked ass?

Where did the orginal up get its information on the steamrunner. According to official text the steamrunner was developed in the late 24th century so a construction date would be conjectual.

The thing to keep in mind is that Chris G. did most of UP right after First Contact came out. At that time, nothing at all was known about the various ships that had appeared in it. Unfortunately, due to that overwhelming march of time, UP was never quite updated to the necessary point, meaning that large portions of it, such as the Steamrunner info, was woefully inaccurate.

When Does UPIII come out - and are they going to clearly mark canon from non canon information.

Obviously you refuse to cooperate with me. Obviously you have no discipline to kepp the mouth shut. Obviously you don't. Let's try it that way, then you might get the hint. How many more minutes are we going to waste asking you not to talk? How many more!?!

Er... Ah... Well, um... Sort of... Something like that...

Where's the Ministry of Truth when you need them...?

UP3 is coming soon. UP3 has always been coming soon. Flare is at war with East Asia. Flare has...whoops. Disregard all that.

UP3 is coming! It shall be wonderous! It shall fill your lives with JOY and new MEANING! It will have all fancy diddywobs and thingamies that crash weak and useless browsers in the hands of the unworthy!
YEs! UP3! I LOVE UP3!

Hel? How much is that? And can you make it payable to me?

What's the address for Utopia Planitia?
Strangely enough, I've never been there.

Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :

And you won't, for now. At the moment, it doesn't exist. :-)

*wonders why First is paying the Norse goddess of the underworld* :-)
