Post by Cruis.In » Wed, 29. Jun 22, 03:34

If the beam weapon is fired from the center of the ship, what the heck is that long thing at the bottom front for?

Since the Terran food supply is derived from protein paste, I'm going to guess that's where they keep all the bathrooms.

If you spend enough time on the bridge of an Asgard, you will see how often people walk in and out of the bridge.

The Argon by contrast have Beef (Argnu), Bread (Grain) and Booze (Space Fuel). I prefer to hang out with them on the weekends.
Nothing like a good Beef Dip after a Friday night out drinking. :wink:

you should clean your desktop or maybe not expose so many information about yourself...

The long thing is the weapons energy source, that emits radiation and has to be as far a possible from the bathrooms, so they put it in front.

Windows + Shift + S opens directly the snipping tool.
Or you can use the old Snipping tool: Windows + sn (the snipping tool should be found now) and open it.
or press ALT + PRINT for a Screenshot of the current active window.

The easy answer would be "looks". As otherwise the ship would not appear anywhere near as imposing as it currently does.

If you want a more made up lore appropriate reason, it provides integrity and protection to the beam stabilisation outriggers.

I always thought of the Asgard's three arms of being like a magnetic field generator, akin to a railgun, for directing the energy blast into a forward beam.
