If you've been paying attention to what I post about Star Trek and think about it, it doesn't compute that I'd be trying to find out if someone knew their fake Star Track.  There is only one Enterprise for me in that context.

Yeah, I was asking if you meant the one in Geo's sig or mine.  I could add in a phaser animation - the tracking across the screen is a forum function, so moving tricks aren't compatible, but I could add phasers...

Yeah, I knew you were a purist.

Did I get it right?

It was the Romulans w/cloaks - all disappearing Klingon action was movies and later.

I am a bad innerwebs nerd for only correcting that when asked...

Okay, I've been trying to get to this one since Sunday, but stuff more urgent &/or appealing kept popping up.  The :hunter: smilie was 49 frames long - that's a lot of times to paste Santi's head, and this called for angles and changing facial expressions.   ;worship was two frames, for comparison, and  :danc:, eight.

I spent hours on shooting Santiago yesterday, and went to bed not finished, which is not something I'm used to at all.

But here:  I say I outright replace :hunter: w/ Ms. Goldenheart.  What say y'all?

What about making a smilie for native life? It could be a simple mindworm boil? Does the concept of a simple native life drawing even exist?

Sure.  Units.pcx.  Tell me more.  Does it do anything?  What would the smilie stand for?  Funny jokes are acceptable, so think of smilie code and hovertext...

No opinion about shootin' Santi - or other possible SMAC leader smilies?  Yang, Zak and Morgan need ideas...

Next to the shooting sequence, I like the glint in her eye somewhere around the gun loading sequence and the way she looks up. ;b;

Zak --> ;idea (the idea bulb popping up), or ;woohooscience (Zak in the place of that running to-and-fro smilie with the woohoo text hovering above it, but let an atomic particle diagram follow him as well).
The latter could be used to spice up the appropriate science articles that keep cropping up on the forum. ;cute

Hmmm.  That's a tough one - Woohoo isn't that many frames, but Zak would have to be tiny -probably too small to look like Zak- or we'd have a really big smilie.

If nobody has and opinion about replacing :hunter:, you know I'll eventually just indulge myself.

I got two idea's, have  ;domai; with a hammer for a WIP emote, and maybe as a personal request, have Vazheli waving a red flag/crimson banner as another form of salute or wave hat equivalent- wave flag.

 :danc:  :D :D

How does your sister like this?

That made me laugh when I saw it on my phone. My wife asked, I explained, and she smiled and  said- "you're all just big kids at heart."

Thanks! This makes me joyful.

Here's a Geek question...  Did Kirk ever destroy a Romulan vessel with phasers?   
This really is entertaining  ;woohoo ;woohoo :adore:


When you're done making smilies would you like me to alphabetize them?

* Random quote

The prevalence of anoxic environments rich in organic material, combined with the presence of nitrated compounds has led to an astonishing variety of underground organisms which live in the absence of oxygen and 'breathe' nitrate. Likewise, the scarcity of carbon in the environment has forced plants to economize on its use. Thus, all our efforts to return carbon to the biosphere will encourage the native life to proliferate. Conversely, the huge quantities of nitrate in the soil will be heaven to human farmers.
