I am sure you will call me blind but it looks like the arrow hit the unarmored area. What else accounts for teh smudge?"<br /><br />No, you aren't blind, and it is easy to make the mistake you did. The black part of the backpack is not flat, and as a result you are seeing isn't the arrow. The lines just don't match up properly.<br /><br />"Firmus Piett: However there was another arrow which bounced of another troopers shoulder pad. If that trooper had not been wearing any armour, like a Federation officer, then the would have been injured by the arrow."<br /><br />This has nothing to do with Star Trek. Why bring Star Trek up?<br /><br />You sound like you're comparing Starfleet sailors to storm troopers rather then comparing Starfleet ground troops to Storm troopers. Imperial sailors don't get armor just like their Federation counterparts.<br /><br /><br />Luckynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12251252.post-52621561461764788762014-12-23T12:45:53.537-06:002014-12-23T12:45:53.537-06:00I haven't looked at the arguments in enough de...I haven't looked at the arguments in enough detail to say with absolute certainty whether the arrow pierced the backpack or not.

I am sure you will call me blind but it looks like the arrow hit the unarmored area. What else accounts for teh smudge?<br /><br />Even if it did stick into the scout trooper's armor, I really do not see the big deal. I love your posts an your attention to detail but I also do not see why you pick so many bones with Brain Young. I also have no clue why you compared this arrow thing to some old Michael Wong forum post. One is obvious, the other is open to interpretation. And even if the arrow fits the shoe that wears it so to speak frankly, so what? Young has made a lot of videos about who would win versus who. Even if Starfleet could dominate the skies, a galaxy-controlling government with fast FTL and better groundtroops than lame redshirts who have no armor ... there is a lot more at play than stupid gigatons vs. gigajoules. And in all fairness to Mister Young, you might notice he does not choose the Empire winning over anything that Wongites used to wank over. I know you are one of those people who tries to deny that hyperspace travel is millions the times of the speed of light, I do not really know why accept to try and limit SW. The shape of the galaxy does not conform to anything we know smaller than our own galaxy the Milky Way. And when it comes to Star Wars versus Star Trek, it is almost impossible to deny that hyperspace is faster than anything except Q and Borg (transwarp). Otherwise why would it take Janeway seventy or more years to cross not even the whole diameter of the galaxy?<br /><br />I am certain you will have a perfect answer for every thing I just said but I must caution you against becoming another narrowminded Michael Wong type guy. He was no dummy in the beginnings but he got to a stage when he would not hear any differing opinions. Then he closed ranks and started being a real ass-hole to any one who disagreed with him. Do not be like him!
