[Humor] The Federal Corvette is 60x less dense than an equivalent amount of banana!

[TinyPwny]

The comparison the the Hindenburg got me thinking (dangerous!) that the density of ships has implications for the atmospheric landings update. The Corvette may well be neutrally buoyant in some planet's atmospheres! Won't that be weird.

It's the Cutter that makes me think of a bloated piece of fruit, rather than the corvette... But yeah, makes sense! Buoyant bananas!

Bananas are phallic. Cutters are phallic. Coincidence? I don't think so.

I guess Cutters are the imperial way of compensating xD

Sorry chaps but you have this wrong.. The only real comparison should be against the potato

It's possible. The suit is pretty slim but radiation resistance is more about density than physical size, maybe the suit has ultra-dense plates in it?

Then again, maybe banana radiation is different, and you'd need an extra layer of protection?

The pilot's suit can withstand the stellar winds from the corona of a O blue supergiant with shields down and canopy blown not to mention a direct hit from a railgun with said canopy and shields down. I'm sure it can handle a couple of million bananas. ;-)
But now you mention it, Bana radiation that emanates from bananas is very different from alpha and beta and is a subspace variant of Gamma radiation... apparently.

Meh, the powers that be are tricking you into thinking that radiation is dangerous.

Here is proof that it is not dangerous, but actually good for you.

Footnote: Does not protect against bananas though

They still sell Radium activated earthenware pots for decanting shochu and nihonshu (sake) here in Japan.

Yes, imagine a planet that had an atmosphere of liquid mercury. Even bananas would float.

Now I want a banana paint job.

Don't forget to make an additional Chiquita decal as well.

There you go
