  1. I know this may sound a bit silly in retrospect when I see this tomorrow, but I had a sudden strange revelation/feeling in my gut about the whole brony phenomenon. What will become of bronies in years to come? How long will MLP last? Will there eventually be no bronies or all bronies? I just had a flow of questions gush through my mind dam. What are your opinions on these leaking questions?

     

    Don't hold back! wink.png

    Well....

     

    It will be the end of an Era, it will be sad, and I know when (IF) the Series finale ends, EVERYPONY will watch it at it's airing, to make the series finish with a bang. Maybe the fandom will live on for generations, and we will tell our grandkids about it, maybe it will start to die out quick, I hope it last for afew more years. to be honest this show (and my friends) saved me from commiting Suicide. :') And It is just simply amazing how it has brought alot of people our age and older together. I for one will always be a brony. *brohoof* /)(

     

    Hope I didn't hold back. ;)

    Best Regards,

  3. Welcome Cloud! I'm super muffin derpy506, unofficial forum greeter(call me muffin for short). I used to be a Sonic fan as well. My favorite character was Shadow with Silver and Blaze running a close second and Tails in third. Anyway, its always great to see a new pony join our forum family. The more ponies, the more fun the discussions.

     

    I loved SIlver and Blaze.
  4. Hmm. I'll have to wiki some research. I don't know anything about train lines, lol. So NS just hauls freight? Hah, maybe I could include your character somehow.

     

    FC = First Cousin? :P

     

    Lol, as you can see by my avatar, though, RD is beyond the Wonderbolts/Blue Angels xD

    Though to be really honest, there are less blue angels pilots than astronauts, probably. And flying spaceships is quiet different than aircraft. I doubt a blue angels pilot could fly a spaceship, but I also doubt an astronaut could fly blue angels.

     

    For starters, you got a lot more time to think before acting in space. You can choose to do things slowly, and they almost do always do things VERY slowly. Which I think RD would actually find boring, unless she's really into the breathtaking view.

     

    There's a sim called Space Shuttle Simulator 2007 that pretty much has it down. Flying spaceships is mostly switch-flipping, with little actual flying. And the astronauts have "flight data sheets", which are checklists. So, as one astronaut put it, "it's like taking an open-book test."

     

    In my fanfic, though, they don't have any computer technology, so it all has to be done by hand.

    Hehe, it's boring in the sims, but when your life is actually on the line and you have to get everything perfectly right, it suddenly gets a lot less boring xD

    (Which I think RD would appreciate, if she knew how IRL flying is 80% clicking buttons and flipping switches.)

     

    I don't know how much you know about spaceflight, but it's quiet different from aviation. For one thing, an orbit is an endless freefall, so you're essentially gliding. You're gliding so fast that the ballistic curve of your path is the same as the curve of the planet you're over. Go faster, and it'll be smoother, so you'll get further from the surface. Speed is everything in space travel. Where you can go, depends on what speed you can reach. To go to the moon, for example, you need to reach about ~10,500 m/s. To be in Low Earth Orbit, you need to be going at ~7,800 m/s. Yeah, that's 5 miles per second ;)

     

     

     

    When I first saw that, I thought the train was broken. I mean, there's an engine on it, so there's no reason they should be pulling it, either horses OR an engine. But, in this case, I'd just assume it was broken somehow...

     

    I'll have to try that simulator. it sounds fun.
  5. Cool concept dude xD Somewhat relevant to the topic, I noticed a while ago that the show conflicted with itself in season 1 episode 21. They used colts to pull the train, yet in season 2 the train is propelled by the locomotive. Just something that's been buggin me, I think the only explanation is a possible technological advancement between seasons. What do you guys think?

     

    The only thing that bugs me is. That's what people think of when they think "Train" They think of a train like that.

     

    In the fiction I'm writing, I'm calling it the Royal Equestria Rail Company Ltd. (RER). It's not over-complicated or fancy, nor is it intended to be.

    And Norfolk & Western J-class 611.

    I'm a DIE HARD fan of the N&W J Class. And I like your idea. ;)
  6. You were a Sonic fan, eh? Mind me asking who your favorite Sonic character was, as well as your favorite pony/ponies from the Mane 6? Just curious :P For me, Tails is my fave Sonic character, and I love Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash

     

    I always seemed to like SIlver and Sonic himself. Silver was awesome. Though his head's a Potleaf. LOL!

     

    Welcome to the herd!

     

    AWESOME picture, made me daaaw :wub: Im sure your gonna fit in around here fine!

    I dont think that many people are online right now, so im sure everyone else will greet you later ;)

     

    Thank you. :wub::P I already LOVE this website. :3
  7. Haha, yeah, developing the background of the world would certainly be interesting.

    I'm not into rails, I was at one point in life, but now I'm huge into Aerospace (rocket science), and have a very strong base of knowledge of military vehicles, so I understand how you feel when you see "generic" trains. It's annoying, lol.

     

    Hmm. This seems like a cool idea to incorporate into the background of my fanfic. Here's my order (what trains I could use) :

    1. a rail line connecting ponyville to Canterlot (we've seen that in the show :P )

    2. A train line connecting Canterlot to a big trade city that's kinda like a transportation, economic hub of Equestria (I originally called it Brighton, but now I think I'll just use Manehatten. It's a major airship, rail and naval traffic hub.)

    3. and from that hub to someplace like Cape Canaveral.

     

    Hmm. I wonder what pony puns I can put into the name "Cape Canaveral"...

     

    So what do you think of this?

    So 1. would be the train we've already seen. Canterlot Seaside Xtended (Ponyville-Canterlot)

    2. Manehattan North (Canterlot-Manehatten)

    3. Norcolt Southern (Menehatten-Cape Canaveral, Floorida)

    3. Norcolt Southern (Menehatten-Cape Canaveral, Floorida)

     

    Well, Norcolt southern's like Norfolk Southern. So I could se it hauling freight, but I like what you did there. My Character's a engineer on a Norfolk and Western Steamer. :P I'm also into Aviation. =P ANd my FC is in the Blue Angels in Real Life. I'd like to talk to you more about it.

  10. I started liking MLP back in late September 2011. And I haven't stopped since, the show is simply amazing, And the Community is 20% cooler. I use to be a Sonic fan, stil somewhat am. But I'm a Railbrony and damn proud of it! :3 ;) Message me if you wanna know about me. I'm a 16 year old in the State of Georgia.

  11. Just putting a thought out there, I'm a Railbrony. What if we had REAL trains in Equestria, Like Norcolt Southern, or CSX (Canterlot Seaside Xtended), or We could have MN (Manehattan North.) Just throwing this all out here. It would be a good idea. I'll have to post some pictures. Of Norcolt and Western. And Manehattan Central (Parody of New York Central) Tell me what you guys think. :lol:;)
