			== Pesky Paragraphs ==

			Hey thanks for fixing the paragraphing there. I usually paragraph like crazy, in fact people have complained (here on this board) about me paragraphing too much! But actually I wrote that article on a mobile phone and it's hard to get the sense of what the formatting looks like. So thanks, and by the way, excellent point about the multiple engagements per flight, and the advantage the cannon weapons have for that.

			By the way I don't know if you read my Air Interception article in detail but it looks like the rate of fire advantage of Laser and Plasma Cannon is not so much as the published weapon data tables imply. The advanced cannon only fire twice as fast as an Avalanche in Aggressive (3x faster than Standard Avalanche, 4x faster than Cautious Avalanche). This new data could really shake up the understanding of the relative power of the aircraft weapons.

			Heh heh, Cautious Avalanche, that sound like a code name for some NATO war game exercise.

	: Found it - battleship page. Looks like we may have been editing the page at the same time. Had a table to show the min-max number of shots it takes the battleship's weapon to blow up one of your ships. Basically converted your earlier analysis into table form. A few other minor edits went missing too, but no worries. Good thing the wiki keeps short histories. -[[User:NKF\|NKF]] 00:36, 10 April 2009 (EDT)		: Found it - battleship page.

			hi, I noticed you edited the article to represent the possibility of the build working better when rotated. Actually, because this was a build from a progression of thoughts, I hadnt really thought of rotating this exact build. I had analyzed that thought when it was a little different, and I NEEDED to have the hangars down low. Anyway, kudos on catching that. However, after analyzing further, here is the way I understand it:
			Rotating it 90 degrees counter-clockwise would seal the (currently) bottom-right two general stores.
			Rotating it 180 degrees would seal the one 2nd to the right.
			Both of these would prevent any human spawning points from reaching alien ones without blasting the walls. Rotating it 90 degrees clockwise would seem to be the only viable solution, as it would only seal off the labs, workshops, and special facilities (mind, psi, containment, and/or hyperwave, depending on how they get arranged). Living Quarters and General Stores would be fine. Please let me know what you think of this (I'm watching this page if you wanna respond here).

	One other thing, I hadn't really taken notice of this until recently, but I discovered that you've deleted some of my recent edits (mainly some paragraphs in the talk pages - and I think some damage table I drafted up, but I can't remember which. I'll have to backtrack a bit to track it down). It is quite a strange sensation for me when I'm reading through a talk pages only to find something I'm sure I put in is no longer there, but can't remember what it was. This is mainly a reminder to check that the Wiki doesn't complain about edit conflicts - as this happens a lot when we've got sharp bursts of activity like we've been having over the past week. -[[User:NKF\|NKF]] 02:48, 9 April 2009 (EDT)		One other thing, I hadn't really taken notice of this until recently, but I discovered that you've deleted some of my recent edits (mainly some paragraphs in the talk pages - and I think some damage table I drafted up, but I can't remember which.

			... I doubt I deleted a damage table... which page? The history will show what I did.

			: More on the signature. I know it's easy enough to forget to type in the quadruple tildes, but you might find it easier to use the toolbar to add your signature and timestamp as an alternative. It's the second to last icon above the text edit box. It just makes submitting to a talk page a two-click process rather than clicking directly on submit. Just pointing that out if you hadn't noticed it yet.

			: Oh, and the toolbar's also a quick way to add the bold and italic formatting to any text selection as an alternative to emphasizing text with all capitals (which are probably best left for acronyms). -[[User:NKF\|NKF]] 02:57, 9 April 2009 (EDT)
