This assumes that a) there's demand in the first place, and b) that the OTHER steps in that logistical chain (harvesting crops, transporting crops to processing area, processing crops into fuel, transporting fuel to distribution points, heading to distribution point to take fuel into vehicle)...

We don't know how many kills most pilots had, however - the only ones that were even hinted at were Iceman's, Maverick's, and Maniac's kills - those put them on the lists of highest-scoring aces, but they don't tell us what the exact number for each ace is most of the time... and we don't know...

But then it wouldn't be any cheaper than gas, and you'd STILL have to figure in the fuel costs for transporting the car and the fuel around. Now, if gas/petrol hits $10 a gallon, veggie-powered systems may sound better, but until it does so, most people are going to take the easy way out...

But why would the machine create a human, rather than another program, who could balance Smith out this way, especially before he got so... malignant after the second movie? Making a person who could, in theory, tear apart the Matrix sounds more like a bad plot device than anything sensible...

You get one name in Fleet Action. You get another in Action Stations, IIRC.

See the Encyclopedia link on him on the CIC - he's the President of the Landreich, and was a smuggler before that, or just a mutineer and pirate depending on who you ask. Most of the data we have on him comes from the Novels Action Stations, Fleet Action, and False Colors.

But not if you want to browse the web, you don't - the 2.0 update kills the ability to run homebrew, at least for now. For that, you have to stay with 1.51 or whatever revision of the firmware it was. Still, they're different machines - the PSP's conceived more as a multimedia device, and...

You may state your opinion, but that opinion doesn't equal fact or truth - it's like having a person who says that they don't believe that they'll die if they get shot with a tank shell and then thrown off a cliff and down five hundred yards onto a basalt spike because they're immortal or a...

Honestly, i'm waiting for them to release that extended battery pack they (Sony) was talking about earlier this year before looking at investing in a PSP. For now, they've actually got GAMES coming out for the DS, so I'm happy.

In the WC3 novel, you have to remember that the Skippers were launched by the capships and not the Strakha - the Strakha were there to escort the missiles in and delay any Terran pursuit till they were all well on course for the strike, since the missiles had to decloak to get their bearings...

We don't have any proof that it would've made 'short work' of Kat supercarriers or dreadnoughts, nor do we know if they had improved the shielding over the years to block the PTC itself. Remember that shielding technology has been upgraded several times over the course of the games... and if...

So far as story goes - the storyline's important... but how the story is told and delivered makes all the difference in the world. The reason Half-Life is talked about (still) is because of how the story was given to the player; in bits and pieces, immersing them in the first-person view for...

Then you're completely wrong. :D All fighters have scoop fields, or at least all the fighters we're familiar with from the WC games. It's referenced in the novels that fighting in atmosphere consumes fuel that can't be replenished, because the scoop fields are closed due to the drag they'd...

... check out the newsbox for Penny Arcade - and how they spent $400 when the 3D0 first game out, only to bliss out on WC to begin. Ah, memories.

In that case, I guess we're all bags of gas floating in space as well, then? Funny, I could've sworn I was standing on a planet in a star system which exists in a clump of matter called a galaxy. You've thrown a completely unrelated concept into this argument - if you're looking at the...

Origin DID declare it was a Wing Commander title, and so it becomes one. Therefore, you've already been proven wrong - the creator does determine what is or is not canon, in the end... and it was declared 'in the Wing Commander universe' by the folks at Origin/EA. Finis.

Grabbing copy of End Run now. Hold on. Crap - that's the reference I was missing. Still, that particular ship would not have been around the whole war, and if one does believe the Jutland concept's description in the WC Writer's Bible, it was designed and built after the Claw got blown up...

The Phase Transit Cannon and the Sivar's graviton gun are two different beasts - yes, the PTC came from an analysis of the technology found in the wreckage of the Sivar, but it's not the same as the Sivar's gun - that gun wasn't made to shoot at anything a lot faster than a planet, which is why...

From what I recall, the only real source for the Jutland-class attack carriers was the writer's bible, and we never see it actually mentioned in any of the games or novels Also, it was a newer design than the Bengal, which means that even the first ship of that design would not have survived...

Well, the outer hull survived the internal explosions which gutted it and killed off her crew at the end of Fleet Action, but I don't recall the Lexington in Fleet Action and later WC4 as being a ship that appeared in Action Stations when the war began. She didn't quite survive the WHOLE war...
