Okay.<P>I don't remember the part about seizing cruisers, but that's all right.<P>I guess my next question has to do with how come the Shogunates are getting their butts kicked?

In this first history lesson, couldn't they have triangulated a bit more than that? I can think of a couple methods:<P>1) Two stations receive the signal, but at slightly different bearings. This produces a triangle (two corners being the stations and the third the source).<P>2) Calculate the veloci...

Hmm... good question! Moogles (from the Final Fantasy series) don't generally wear clothes at all. I suppose since Ralph is wearing a shirt usually, that would imply that he should also wear pants. Of course, that also begs the question of what happened to Ralph's winglets -- Moogles are supposed to...
