A Celestia FlyBy

Borg Collective · Post #1by **Borg Collective** » 17.02.2003, 20:07

OK... Ever watched those expensive BBC projects about space and similar?

Could someone create a new Celestia FlyBy for use while it's starting?
It should go like this:

1) First it shows our whole galaxy with all it's might and size
2) Centers on Sol
2) Starts to accelerate towards our Solar System passing between the stars
3) Once it arrives in the close proximity of our Solar System it deaccelerates...
4) ... flies by Pluto, Neptune, Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Earth, Venus, Mercury but Always keeping the Sol somewhere on the screen
5) After passing Mercury it accelerates and revolves around the Sol
6) After completing one revolution it goes above the Sol's Northern pole, turns the orbit display on and starts to increase the distance from it until the Pluto's orbit fits the screen

We know we are asking (a way too) much...

Borg,

I don't understand...
Why do you not want to do it yourself?

You can start with very simple "Select", "Center" and "Goto" commands
and then fill in with details: "Lock" will keep the sun in view, for example.

We don't have time (yet). Currently, we are working on 4 projects and are further busy with gaining knowledge. This FlyBy is needed for one of our projects, "The Solar System" encyclopedia.

Just remember

Just because one person know one peice of knowlage
dosen't mean that every one else should know it too.
I may know things that others don't, i dont expect everyone to.

the forums are here for us all to share things and knowlage with eachother.

so if there was someone out ther that knew how to make a simple(to them) script, and had the free time to do it

thats is all he, They

, where asking for

Not, go and learn it.

Ah, is it just me, or is Borg Collective sounding more and more like a case of DID (Disassociative Identity Disorder) or better known as (Multiple Personality Sindrome). Makes one start to wonder when someone insists on being considered as part of a multiple. And just what part of the Borg Colective is he. There leader is a Queen I believe. I am starting to wonder about this person or is it persons?????????????

Borg Queen does not have ultimate control over Collective any more, we have evolved: her primary task now is to participate during assimilations.

The Borg Collective is unbound.

Can I watch

Watch what?

Addition: As we said, we are currently busy with other projects and focused on them. But we are eager to assimilate more knowledge.

This isn't contrary to yours previous post:
"Just because one person know one peice of knowlage

We don't know how to script with Celestia but will learn after our current projects are completed. Already started too much of them: 4 are main and large, with 9 smaller. Three of Four Main Projects are related to Celestia and it's community, with 3 smaller ones too.

The fact that we refer to us as "We" is irrelevant.
We have been developing an upgrade to the Collective. It's development is caused by the fact that we couldn't produce upgraded nanoprobes to overtake the Species 8472. We needed an individual mind capable of developing requested technology and producing new ones for the benefit of the Collective. The upgrade and technology we are speaking of is PEM.

Somewhere I saw complaints about a post where political opinions were exposed. A lot of whining about that. Funny, no one complains when discussion about something completely irrelevant to astonomy and reality is discussed.....

Anonymous,
I am sure by now you know we go off on tangents like this all the time. It wouldn't be any fun at all if we never go off topic on occation. It also lets the others in the forum know a little about how everyone is thinking and its a great window into who they are. Being most, if not all of us will never meet in the real world. I for one get a good chuckle everytime I see a post from "Borg Collective". Not to say I don't take what he is saying serious but that he always seems to not forget to write in the multiples form. I know I couldm't pull that off. I have enough trouble just being me without trying to be a whole Collective.
This whole message is another great example of how we get off topic.
Don
