You do realize that even though it's a heavy fighter, it's still the 3rd fastest ship on Confed's side (only the Hornet and then-experimental Rapier II were faster), and not that far down the list of "fast ships" on the kat side (Salthi and limited-production Bloodfang are faster) right? That...

The key word is "obscure", though. Outside of the CIC community, there's probably not all that much interest.

I will be leaving it on when I go in to work, as I did for a previous bday that I was at work for. As for phone internet, even ignoring that I won't have time for it while working (the reason it's a can't-avoid night), to get much more retro my cell phone would need to be one of those huge...

Crap, on a work night I can't avoid...

Bad news: It's past the House of Representatives, as of June 10th. Potentially good news: Senators getting pissy about the bill. I'll grant that, being politicians, they may just be pandering to their base, and after a few relatively minor tweaks they'll go with it anyway (hence the emphasis on...

CR's last involvement with the WC community, to date, is the movie. Other than that, he's not been a concern for anything WC since WC4.

Then don't look in this year's Sports Illustrated swimsuit calendar... (July, for the curious. And, yes, I do have one of those calendars.)

Do keep in mind that the WCP map is not the be-all and end-all of WC planets. There are quite a few mentioned worlds that don't show on that map, though they've been added to the online one hosted on the CIC, based on research through the official material (said research doesn't, for the record...

Whoops. Guess that shows how long it's been since I've played it.

"It doesn't fit my preconceived notions, so it's obviously wrong." :rolleyes:

Nitpick: pre-Armada resolution was 320x200, not x240. :p

Given the new uniforms they're going with, starting next year, I'm somewhat skeptical of the Navy keeping with tradition. Blech, blech, and blech. If sailors wanted to look like Marines (particularly the Navy Working Uniform... the "blend with the ship" reason given for using MARPAT is...

Personally, I'm wondering how long before Russia and the PRC tell NK to step the fuck back. Those two are probably NK's biggest supporters, politically speaking, and it seems they're also getting tired of NK being the region-destabilizing prat it's been for years, now.

Yeah, the nuke school route to becoming a baby seal (as in gonna get clubbed by the Company Commander [or whatever they're calling it now] :p ) is... odd. I don't think it's even possible, given the expense of training that Tigerhawk mentions, and the fact that if you're a SEAL, you won't be...

Y'know, mentioning which game might be helpful... :p

No, you weren't the only one. That and working in the theme from TOS for the closing credits music was a nice touch, I thought. As for the movie as a whole, there's not really all that much more I can think to add to what's been said by others, up-thread. When I first heard about the time...

One could argue that, if they were totally ignorant of the fact that when most of a ship is done, it's far faster and cheaper to finish it than break down the uncompleted hulls and start from scratch. As for "more reliable, battle tested ships", most of what made the suicide tactics at Earth...

5/12 (~42%) is a majority? Or is that one of those "New Math" things? :p

While I have nothing but love (entirely platonic, thank you :p ) for the Standoff crew, please don't tell me you're citing them like canon... Yeah, thanks to S*S some of what they've done has been canonized, so to speak, but their Jutland wasn't one of them. And in regards to the Terra...

"PTC is dangerous to use" predates Prophecy, though I forget by how much more than "a good bit", off the top of my head. (At a possibly wrong guess, when KS came out, since that's where the note of the PTC being retired comes from.) Considering that head-on is the smallest profile to present...
