I find it remarkable, that Helo gets actually 'betrayed' by a chrome toaster...

Toasters are crafty beasts. Oh, to sign your comments next time, Xbruce, place four tildes (~) after your comment. --Spencerian 18:46, 13 February 2006 (EST)

Slight Terminological Inexactitude

Ummm...

Reading the comments, I noticed that the Viper's increased fuel consumption is attributed to the fact the moon where Starbuck lands has an O2-free atmosphere, but I'm sure that isn't right.

Unless I'm mistaken, the reason they go through so much JP is because in space, the Viper just stays where it is. The only time a Viper in space burns fuel is to accelerate, brake or change direction. In an atmosphere, the Viper has to burn fuel *just to stay up*.

Which brings us on to the parallel question of how they fly in a low/no-O2 atmosphere. Either tyllium isn't a combustion fuel, or smallcraft have internal LOX tanks for this sort of thing.

We don't know if Tylium burns or not, but if it does, it still needs to function in airless vacuum of space. So it was kind of irrelevant if there was O2 or not in the atmosphere; point, as you said, was that they had to us fuel to stay up, move against air, etc. --The Merovingian 13:57, 15 March 2006 (CST)
