[QUOTE]Originally posted by akb1979: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [qb] You're writing a novel and your biggest problem is calculating tonnage? Really? Just make a guestimate, it's not like anyone will bother to check up on it. And if some sad freak does whine about it being to heavy, well then that's the super dense core shielding! To light? Well that'd be the ultra thin carbon lattice mesh bulkheads. It's science fiction mate! [/qb][/QUOTE]LMAO Reverend, that made me laugh...which I very much needed after reading about poor Jay. :( Well it's not my biggest problem but it is a problem, especially as I want to get as close to being realistic as possible without going OTT or putting too much thought and effort into it. Like I said, I can calculate tonnage based on the GT formula found on Wiki, but I was hoping for something more precise as my destroyers are roughly 44 million tons! :eek: :eek: Which is far more massive than the superdreadnoughts in HH. :confused: And as for "guestimate"... :mad: I HATE that word - it's so...made up! "Estimate" or "take your best guess" is what should be used - damn whoever first started using it...gets right on me tits it does. :p Oh and B.J. - yeah I grabbed that page as soon as I found it...but it's still not "accurate" enough for me. What can I say, I'm a tech freak/perfectionist and just love to dabble with spreadsheets and specs...maybe that's why the novel isn't getting written very fast...hmm... :p [/QB][/QUOTE]
