And my Shok'lar?

I think it's safe to assume that the Sirius Yards were destroyed during Fleet Action as well.

Offically the leader of Starpeace was the uncle who raised him not his father.

The probelm with that theory is that that Paradigm is equipped with the Tachyon gun which is one of the newest weapons in Confed's arsenal. IMO It would make more sense if the Paradigm was a corvette-class instead of a destroyer-class, based on what we know of it's armarment and stats and the...

IMO Star Crusader did a great job of having the player fly missions and manage their flight wing. Doing something similar with Wing Commander but expanding the wing management section would be great. Even better it would be the perfect excuse to show the Pilgrim War and the earlier stages of...

I've just always liked the idea of the 1 or 2 person frieghters roaming space. I know that I read somewhere that a Galaxy usually has a crew of 4, but in Privateer you could fly your Galaxy solo with no noticeable probelms. I don't really see anyone being able to fly a 14-person Drayman solo or...

I hope that if they ever make another 27th century Privateer game they remember that Galaxy's are light transports and Drayman's are either medium or heavy transports. For some insane reason they tried to use the Drayman class as the Confed light transport in Privateer online instead of using...

That brings back unpleasent memories.

IIRC Photon Guns were the second most common Confed fighter-gun when the Kilrathi War began.

I know that, what I'm trying to say is that in Wing Commander you can't tell if a fighter is atmosphere-combat capable or not based on it's appearence. Personally I feel that any fighter is atmosphere-combat capable unless something specifically says that it's not.

I know that but the design isn't exactly aerodynamic.

If the Ekapshi and Vindicator are atmosphere capable I don't see the Longbow having any probelms in atmosphere.

I think that it's fairly safe to say the academy sim fighters are Hellcats. After all other then the Excaliber every other fighter class, other then the Hellcat, on Victory was confirmed as an earlier model. Arrows from 2650, IIRC Longbows were either seen in Academy or mentioned somewhere as...

They knew about the early Skipper-missiles but those had to decloak every few seconds, so the Claw would have seen them coming. This was also the first, and IIRC for 10 years the only time Confed encountered a cloaking fighter, and Blair's flight recorder data was missing or destroyed so Tolwyn...

Yeah but he refers to them as the first 5 Confed worlds on the list, which means that he plans to target others later. Also once the weapon get loose it would spread to other worlds, via ships fleeing the infected worlds unless Confed managed to completely blockade all 5 worlds before any ships...

I'm pretty sure that Tolwyn planned to hit all of the human worlds with the bio-convergence weapon.

The UBW would certainly be outnumbered and outgunned but they would have a chance. When exactly is this timeline veering off from the official timeline anyway? (In other words does this just assume that Blair reached the Senate but failed to convince them not to declare war, or did the timeline...

Blair also at one point thinks to himself that the Border Worlds have enough forces to be a legitimate threat they just don't have enough power projection capabilty to match Confed's. Power projection is IMO more important for an offensive war then a defensive war, and if numbers were everything...

The American Revolution would be more accurate comparision then the war of 1812. And before you mention the French intervention they didn't intervene directly until the Americans had proven that they had a reasonable chance to win, and while the French did offer covert support to the Americans...

I just checked the map and Confed only has around 400 systems, at least 3 would be cut off from Confed territory in the event of a Confed/UBW war, and several others were rendered uninhabitable or had the bulk of their industrial capacity destroyed during Fleet Action. the UBW has around 50...
