Blast Corps -- Skyfall
The other training mission we activated along the way was for this familiar face, to which we are to be formally introduced at this time: the Skyfall. No... no, not that movie... or the song... or any of several unrelated novels... or a couple of different Transformers... or even the Korean F2P MMO... aren't Wikipedia disambiguation pages handy?
As I originally described it, the Skyfall is a dune buggy with a turbo function, and now that we've learned its other major design quirk--an armored undercarriage--all the pieces fall into place. Or fall apart. Because they got crushed. By the Skyfall. Falling on them. From the sky.
The only lingering question I have from a design standpoint is whether the Skyfall or the fact that buildings will ALWAYS be destroyed on contact with the bottom of a...

Who are the ancient Naga of Hindu and other South East Asian mythology?
Why so many similarities? Have we been taught history in reverse?

The other training mission we activated along the way was for this familiar face, to which we are to be formally introduced at this time: the Skyfall. No... no, not that movie... or the song... or any of several unrelated novels... or a couple of different Transformers... or even the Korean F2P MMO... aren't Wikipedia disambiguation pages handy?
As I originally described it, the Skyfall is a dune buggy with a turbo function, and now that we've learned its other major design quirk--an armored undercarriage--all the pieces fall into place. Or fall apart. Because they got crushed. By the Skyfall. Falling on them. From the sky.
The only lingering question I have from a design standpoint is whether the Skyfall or the fact that buildings will ALWAYS be destroyed on contact with the bottom of a land vehicle... because it'd be fairly unnecessarily complex uncharted territory to define building responses to being landed on and driven atop by land vehicles. It seems to me that the Skyfall could've just emerged naturally from this consideration... or maybe the Backlash just caused too many problems when they tried to program it to bounce off buildings, so it really IS just that one that's the odd rig out.
Anyhow, given how natural the Skyfall's operation is now that we've lifted the veil of mystery surrounding that random thing we drove in the Havoc District, I really don't think there's much more I can add to things. It's just a joy to drive, although the aiming is a bit iffy... but careening off a ramp and letting your existing inertia and gravity team up to do the rest tends to carry a certain level of uncertainty for some reason.
A minor note that is really more or less a natural consequence of how we learned airborne vehicle damage works is that the Skyfall doesn't need to take a full jump to reach the height of its destructive potential... even just boosting of of uneven terrain with the right timing and trajectory to leave your wheels off the ground when making contact with a standing structure is enough to hit its weak point for massive damage. (i.e. when you're in the air, every part of every structure is a weak point)
I don't suppose that the time limit was set with this in mind, mind you... it's just an incredibly strict target for two perfect simultaneous silo drops back to back.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Wikipedia ( (listen), (listen) WIK-ih-PEE-dee-ə) is a multilingual, web-based, free encyclopedia based on a model of openly editable and viewable content, a wiki. It is the largest and most popular general reference work on the World Wide Web, and is one of the most popular websites by Alexa rank. It is owned and supported by the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization that operates on money it receives from donors.Wikipedia was launched on January 15, 2001, by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger. Sanger coined its name, as a portmanteau of wiki and "encyclopedia". Initially an English-language encyclopedia, versions in other languages were quickly developed. With 5,769,083 articles, the English Wikipedia is the largest of the more than 290 Wikipedia encyclopedias. Overall, Wikipedia comprises more than 40 million articles in 301 different languages and by February 2014 it had reached 18 billion page views and nearly 500 million unique visitors per month.In 2005, Nature published a peer review comparing 42 science articles from Encyclopædia Britannica and Wikipedia and found that Wikipedia's level of accuracy approached that of Britannica. Time magazine stated that the open-door policy of allowing anyone to edit had made Wikipedia the biggest and possibly the best encyclopedia in the world, and was a testament to the vision of Jimmy Wales.Wikipedia has been criticized for exhibiting systemic bias, for presenting a mixture of "truths, half truths, and some falsehoods", and for being subject to manipulation and spin in controversial topics. In 2017, Facebook announced that it would help readers detect fake news by suitable links to Wikipedia articles. YouTube announced a similar plan in 2018.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Wikipedia ( (listen), (listen) WIK-ih-PEE-dee-ə) is a multilingual online encyclopedia with exclusively free content and no ads, based on open collaboration through a model of content editing using web-based applications such as web browsers, called wiki. It is the largest and most popular general reference work on the World Wide Web, and is one of the most popular websites by Alexa rank as of April 2019. It is owned and supported by the Wikimedia Foundation, a non-profit organization that operates on money it receives from donors to remain ad free.Wikipedia was launched on January 15, 2001, by Jimmy Wales and Larry Sanger. Sanger coined its name, as a portmanteau of wiki (the Hawai'ian word for "quick") and "encyclopedia". Initially an English-language encyclopedia, versions in other languages were quickly developed. With 5,853,381 articles, the English Wikipedia is the largest of the more than 290 Wikipedia encyclopedias. Overall, Wikipedia comprises more than 40 million articles in 301 different languages and by February 2014 it had reached 18 billion page views and nearly 500 million unique visitors per month.In 2005, Nature published a peer review comparing 42 hard science articles from Encyclopædia Britannica and Wikipedia and found that Wikipedia's level of accuracy approached that of Britannica, although critics suggested that it might not have fared so well in a similar study of a random sampling of all articles or one focused on social science or contentious social issues. The following year, Time magazine stated that the open-door policy of allowing anyone to edit had made Wikipedia the biggest and possibly the best encyclopedia in the world, and was a testament to the vision of Jimmy Wales.Wikipedia has been criticized for exhibiting systemic bias, for presenting a mixture of "truths, half truths, and some falsehoods", and for being subject to manipulation and spin in controversial topics. In 2017, Facebook announced that it would help readers detect fake news by suggesting links to related Wikipedia articles. YouTube announced a sim ...
