If I said that I could see God? What basis would you have for telling me otherwise?
I'd ask for evidence, you wouldn't be able to give any, ergo you are either lying, or were hallucinating.

Well, I've just started getting around to making Comet 2, but I'm having trouble with the skirt wedges, I have no problem getting the top and bottom ones attached where they should be, but the middle one won't attach unless the black part is inside the chassis, where I can't attach anything to it.
Edit: I fixed that problem now. The collision mesh sticks out way behind the black part and I wasn't aware.
You need JoeBlo's Narmor-B-Gone fix. It removes that annoying collision mesh from the skirt hinge, so then it has no collision mesh at all, except the silver bit. I'm not entirely sure where you can get it from, though.
Thanks I'll have a look for it.
ty4er, I don't think having the motors sticking out was such a good idea, as soon as they even get tapped by a weapon they start smoking. 
They'll start smoking, but since they're attached to the baseplate, they won't fall off. If you take a look at Puncture III in my showcase, or on the Wiki, it's only got Plastic 1 Armour, but since the motors envelop pretty much all the chassis, it's very difficult to KO. The motors'll start smoking, it'll be going slower than usual, but it'll still be going.
I thought it would've been a problem, since the drive is pretty much powering my weapons. But, I AI'd it (And PB3), and it doesn't seem to be a problem at all.

If two different people see things in two different colors, how can you know what color the object actually is? Colour, as I told you earlier, is not an actual, physical characteristic of objects. If you can come up with some way that aliens could I'd love to humor you with an answer. Shape can be perceived through touch as well as vision, blind people can get a rather good idea of an objects shape simply by touch. What if the aliens see shapes differently? How do you know what shape it actually is? There is no way to tell the state of things as they actually exist because your perception is limited to telling how things are to you. It cannot tell you anything about things-in-themselves.
If you can come up with some way that aliens could see shapes as other shapes, I'd love to humor you with an answer. Shape can be perceived through touch as well as vision, blind people can get a rather good idea of an objects shape simply by touch. Please stop acting as if vision is the only sense that exists and that it is wrong all the time.

I see someone else can't tell the difference between "reality" and "colour".
FTFY Seriously though, look at the definitions of reality, Reaility - The world or the state of things as they actually exist, as opposed to an idealistic or notional idea of them: "he refuses to face reality". and tell me how seeing different colours counts as a different reality. By that logic people who are colour blind live in a different reality to those of us who aren't.

No it wouldn't, they'd be seeing the same shapes, feeling the same textures, the colours would be different and that's pretty much it. I'd hardly call different colours an entirely different reality.

They're both quite valid, but I can use an even better one! Arguments generally need supporting evidence to be considered valid.
Say you make contact with a race of aliens who see in a different portion of the light spectrum than we do. They see a polar bear and make the assertion that the polar bear is pink. You say the polar bear is white. Who's right?
Both of us, as we are both seeing different parts of the spectrum. Yet, also neither of us as colour is just a construct of the mind.
Edit: Null point anyway, if the aliens are seeing the polar bear a different colour either:
A. The alien's brains translates wavelengths into colours differently to our brains, in which case there would be no way to know that there is a difference, let alone communicate it.
B. The aliens visible wavelength differ to our own and other light reflecting off a polar bear is interpreted by their minds into what would be pink to us, and once again, there would be know way to know or communicate the difference.
That just proves my point. You both see what you perceive to be reality, yet your perceptions of it are entirely different.
 Not really, the reality of the situation is that there is no reality, colours are something that would be perceived completely differently by an alien race, but we would still be viewing the same thing.

Awnser to every question on this topic:
42.
Ontopic:
Why there is life on earth?
42. Seriously though, look up "Abiogenesis", that's the study of life from non-life.

Remind me again how this isn't a brain-in-a-vat argument?
Because it's a brain in a cave argument. It's more than 2,000 years older than the brain in a vat argument.
[sarcasm]Oh no, I could never have forseen such an event! Clearly your brain in a cave argument is far more valid than the brain in a vat argument.[/sarcasm]

That's philosophy for you.
Congratulations on wasting everyone's time with your "you need faith in your senses" nonsense that you have no supporting arguments for.
It's only nonsense because you cannot even grasp the concept of what I am saying. Instead, you blindly cling to your own narrow perceptions. You are like the men still in the cave, who do not want to come out and see the light.
What at all in that little story of yours had to do with somebody being fooled by their senses into believing something was real when it wasn't?
Do you really need me to spell it out for you? The shadows aren't real in the truest sense because they are merely a poor copy of what truly is. YOU ARE STUCK IN THAT CAVE!
In real life we aren't stuck in a cave watching shadows on a wall, we can walk around to get a better view of things, we can feel things, we can use precise equipment to look at things on a microscopic scale, this kind of interaction with the world is far more advanced than looking at shadows on a cave wall.

He changed
how something that can be felt, seen, heard, tasted and smelt by every living person (Minus those who lack certain senses) could not be real.
to
how shadow pictures that can be felt, seen, heard, tasted and smelt by every living person in the cave could not be real.
Except for the fact that the shadows are real.

I think if that situation actually ever occurred the person who saw the outside world probably would think that he/she himself/herself would be crazy, had died and gone to heaven, etc..
If the people were in there so long then that world is reality. Perhaps not for the guards, but it's certainly the prisoners' reality.
I don't see how it has anything to do with what I asked though.

I'm glad you asked!
Now, imagine that you're a prisoner in a cave, facing the back wall, and tied up in such a way that you cannot move or turn your head. Now imagine that you have no memory of ever being anywhere but this cave; it's as if you have always been there. As you are facing the wall of this cave, the guards make shadow pictures on the walls, and make sounds that echo off the wall of the cave so it as if they are coming from the shadows. For you and the other prisoners, these pictures are all you know that exist in the world. You make observations about the shadows, categorize them, name them, and those who can name the most details about these shadows, or discover new things about them are thought to be especially clever. Now, imagine that you are supposed to be released. The guards untie you and begin to lead you to the surface. As you walk towards the surface, the sunlight begins to reach you, and to your unaccustomed eyes, it is so unbearably bright that you try to return to the cave, but the guards force you out into the sunlight, and fist, you cannot even open your eyes because the sun is so bright, but eventually your eyes adjust, and you see the wold in it's full glory and finally realize that the tings you saw in the cave were merely poor imitations of what is on the surface. Now imagine, after spending some time on the surface, you wish to share the wonders you have seen with your old friends in the cave. When you return however, they they claim you are a madman and continue to gaze at the shadows.
Wat. I have no idea how this relates at all, the other people inside the cave have never seen the outside world, so of course they would not believe it to be true, if you were to free them and take them outside, they'd see that you were right all along.

****in japs ruining something that would be awesome..
1. There's no need to be racist. 2. That was an American Honda ad, I doubt Japan had much to do with it apart from making the car.
