Someone should mansplain to Flynt/Wu that your skill as a pilot has absolutely nothing to do with the radar signature of the aircraft you are flying.
Edit: Ninja'd by someone with the somewhat curious handle of Frozen Space Faggot.

According to the thread poll, we have one of the least favorite forms of John tonight.

Also, one would think that in whatever advanced, high-tech future that revolution 60 is set in, where they have things like orbital platforms, knife-guns and Nightmare Before Christmas looking masked henchmen in space that they would at least have access to the same stealth technology that has been in operation by the us military since the late 80s.

This is the same person that apparently thinks that something in orbit can "go adrift" over China...

Wu's pretending to be a programmer again, and once again I am triggered.
Can't even keep her story straight. Last time she told this tale, she got her first computer in the late 80s and nobody had computers then. Now she was hacking BASIC in elementary school.
This is exactly the same MO with game engines. She dismisses everything she has no personal experience of as "toys." I'm more than ever convinced that Pascal is the only language she's ever tried to learn, and that only because it was a lesson at school.
This Turbo Pascal 4 anecdote is always the one she trots out, and she never even tries to talk about any other language even in the "this is a thing that exists" depth that she talks about Pascal.
Turbo Pascal 4 was released on Nov. 20, 1987, four months after John Walker Flynt -- a fat, dumb-assed weirdo with no math or logic skills -- turned 10 years old. Turbo Pascal 5 was released in August of the following year. We know that John Walker Flynt always had the latest version of everything as a child. So he's claiming that he taught himself Turbo Pascal when he was 10 years old. Are there really people out there who believe these outrageously ludicrous lies?
Yeah, I've harped on that point in the past. I find it strange that Frank, who supposedly has a Ph.D. in a real science, didn't point out to Flynt/Wu that objects in Earth orbit don't drift to a location and then mysteriously stop. Heck, you'd think that Flynt/Wu would know that his own self after taking the physics courses required for his engineering degree.

Oh man, I had completely forgotten about this
People give her a lot of flak about this one, but I don't think it's really that big a deal. I mean, the Death Star was scientific nonsense on pretty much every single level, and it didn't take away from "Star Wars". It's just an excuse to give the heroes something urgent to do in space. If Rev60 actually had good writing or characters, it'd be fine - despite all the talk of nanotech, the game is not hard sci-fi in any way.

If I remember correctly, they did try to claim it was hard sci-fi.
Edit:
Okay, I didn't remember it quite right, but here's what I was referring to:

Star Wars had the benefit of a completely fictional setting.Oh man, I had completely forgotten about this

That particular spaceship has been striking me as similar to something for a while now. I just figured out what it was.
It feels kinda fitting for the designs in her game to have such a juvenile and childish aesthetic to them. The more I think about it, the more the entire universe of R60 feels like it's a tie-in for a line of girls doll playsets.

Oh look, its those dog cages. Meaning that Wu didn't even go out and buy them specifically for the dogs and instead, grabbed whatever shit was about the house.

To be fair, it's probably hard for Wu to actually go out without preparation. The screams of children and terrified women that must follow her around must be hard to take on a daily basis. After all, Quasimodo didn't stay holed up in Notre-Dame for the decor...

Star Wars is space fantasy which borrows heavily from eastern martial arts films and Arthurian legends. Wu presents rev60 as hard science fiction, they're different genres.

I think what they must have meant is that it is "hardly sci-fi".
I still think they look like Klingon sex toys. There isn't a droplet of sci-fi these models, not even design-wise. That's just Franks inner 13-year-old who thinks that sticking blades and spikes on everything makes stuff look cooler. His pocket watch space station of doom doesn't make a lick of sense either. I mean, just looking cool would be fine, if they were just admitting that this was their only intention. An Imperial Star Destroyer, that is a good design, because it pretty much says: "We are the evil, powerful empire with these massive arrowhead-shaped battleships... and we don't even bother to give them a paint job, because we got so many of them."

Frank is a molecular biologist, a profession which doesn't require any knowledge of celestial mechanics or astronomy -- a modicum of quantum mechanics is needed, though, at least to the extent of being able to explain how energy levels in chemistry and molecular spectra arise... anyway, with a modicum of research to he could have figured out why "emitting positive gravitons forward and negative gravitons backwards" to propel a vehicle is patent nonsense.
That said, it's kinda pathetic how Brianna/Frank cling to motorcycles as an image of female empowerement. Brianna loves to be photographed next to one without even being able to ride it AFAIK.
