Will there be space combat mounts? Not flying mounts but space combat mounts, there's a difference.
Now be honest because I have seen many credible pictures proving the existence of the space combat mounts you have been working on. And i don't believe the skeptics that say they are just horse shaped balloons. That theory was debunked already.
(Caption depicting an early space combat mount sighting. Notice there are no balloon string lines as purported by many skeptics. )
Armitas, I hate to disappoint you, but those are clearly just limrafns refracting the light from Eärendil. Nothing to see here, move along. Oh, but first just look right here:
I had a dream that I went to space, and hit this funky vortex anomaly thingy, and when I came back the earth was still here but apes had become the dominant species. Woke up and felt better until I logged in today and realized that I DID trip through the anomaly but the apes were no match for the GLFF TROLLS!
Take your stony paws off me you #&$@ dirty troll!

It was only a matter of time till we got space combat. Ever since Sauron moved from Mordor to space plans have been in the pipe line for the Free peoples to fight back
"Hail, morning-star, brightest of angels,
Sent to men over Middle-earth."
Cynewulf, of course, was talking about Jesus. But the lines resonated with Tolkien, and he turned the name Earendel* into a character and an entire saga. As usual, Tolkien started with language.

*In Old Norse he's Aurvandil, who went out fishing in cold weather and one of his toes froze. So he broke it off and threw it into the sky, and it became the morning star.

Shamelessly stolen from another site:
Three rings for Uranas, stuck on his side.
Seven Rings for Neptune, cold and alone.
Nine rings for Saturn, whom we all abide.
One Ring for Jupiter, as its been shone.
In the land of Oortclouds, where comets lie.
One ring to rule them them all. One ring to find them.
One ring to bring them all and in the coldness bind them.
In the land of Oortclouds, where comets lie.
(also, I think this is undeniable proof of a Cthulhu/Sauron teamup. Ash Nazg Cthulhu Fhatgn)
Are you wondering what the "space combat panel" is (I have no idea), or are you wondering about the "SPAAAAAAACE" references some of us are making? Because that can be answered in Raven's link.
Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, totally worn out & proclaiming "WOW, what a ride!"
Civ II rules after all these years......
oh god, stop your north amerian religious nonsense please ... you know that the mythology tolkien referred to is older then the bible, jeees !?
its hilarious that bluenames never engage in this forums other then locking down threads, concernes and opnions,
unless there is an nonsense offtopic in general ...
hey devs, how dou you deal with the lag on your server, isnt it a shame to see all your hard work being dumped down by budget cuts and low-grade server-tech? ?
Of course it is -- but in this instance, Tolkien himself very directly credited this exact passage as a point of inspiration. Check out The World of Tolkien to see it in context.
