[QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim the Fanciful: [QB] Also, all the people killed per year in accidents, weather shifts, diseases and homicide, that's a lot of bodies to just "flush out" on sheer principle. Imagine if some of the "liberated" people were to reinsert themselves, out of laziness. [b]"Hey Biff, did you hear about that plane crash 10 blocks down? About a 1000 casualities... -Really?! Great, cuz I'm absolutely starving here!"[/b] Da Woodside Kid! wrote: [i]"An interesting question would be why a person's Matrix self-image should match his actual physical form?"[/i] Because if they didn't, the audience would get Alzheimer's from trying to keep track of every actor looking totally different from their out-of-Matrix selves. People would lose bladder control in their seats, start talking to their dead relatives and claim they all were subject to incest as a child. We can't have that, can we? Bond: [i]"You cycle one side of the pads up to make the turn but the other pads are still operating to keep the ship at a distance from the sides of the tunnel and in the air."[/i] Indeed, and when banking as hard as Niobe did, you would want as little resistance as possible from the pads that face the way you want to go. Also, the pads could shift position and rotation to a rather great extent, making for many exciting combinations. :.) In a way, I'd have hoped the Matrix Universe had gotten a series with a four-season run. I would've liked to know what the ship's core is running on, how the Zion defenses work and what the tonnage, armor, max velocity and lifting force of the ships are. For size-reference, here's a nice guide, courtesy of some cutting and pasting from the Matrix.com website. I assume that they are all the same scale.
