Shouldn't that be 'Gregarova' if we're following the Russian patronymic naming tradition? Slight nitpick, I know. I suspect Banbridge survived the McAuliffe ambush intact, career-wise, given how he'd argued with the civilian government about things and called an alert during Confederation...

... oh god, I just got a Blackfuel and goop missile flashback. This is not worth a space point, I figure.

I don't recall there being any real physical differences between military and civilian Draymans - wasn't it more if they were configured as tankers versus regular cargo ships, and so forth?

Are you sure that's not 'habere'? That's a Latin verb, as in "to have" - and that looks more like an 'e' than an 'o' due to the line in the middle of the circle. Olida is "olive tree" - a symbol of peace, signa is a sign or battle standard, and "Nolumus" is to be unwilling or to refuse. In...

No, the environment and the lack of prey beasts. Predators tend to need large ranges, relative to herbivores, to support an individual - which meant that a given area could support only a certain number of Kil per square kilometer due to this. Between that and the heavy volcanic and earthquake...

Ah, but that's where word of mouth kicks in. No EA games = no Sim-games (big draw for casual players), no Need for Speed titles, and no Origin titles... which draws us folk. We'll see how they're doing next year, but I'll bet they'll end up like Ion Storm Dallas. Which, given that they're...

You know what's REALLY funny? Gametap is now promoting Daikatana as a reason to get the service. http://kotaku.com/gaming/romero.s-baby/gametap-sets-daikatana-free-330328.php To quote the article...

Damn. You know, I do wonder how many people joined for Wing Commander... and if all of the EA games on the list got removed, or at least a good chunk of them. If that's the case, I wonder how their subscriptions will be declining?

Would some of this idea behind the deployment of heavy capital ships in combination with fighter wings have its roots in the events and missions of WC:SO? The TCS Cerberus seemed to be an interim 'step' in the shift from the Kilrathi War-era 'fighter wing' based battles with fleet actions...

You forgot the use of Blackfuel in the engines.

Man, that Clint Eastwood guy really needs to go after the Russians for stealing his design!

Addicted? No - he wasn't addicted to war, but rather he believed that the civilians (and particularly the professional politicians) who'd made a hash of the initial war effort weren't pulling their weight as far as preserving humanity went, so decided that the Black Lance project was the...

The Concordia was working from a different jump point, in enemy territory, which wasn't mapped. They were basically feeling their way around the system in order to locate the starbase - it's not like they knew where every planet was, along with everything around it, like it's Star Trek...

In the end, Blair had a lot of reasons to go through with the Kilrah run; be it due to the strong possibility that, if he didn't, the Kilrathi would have won the war was one of them. Another could be that it was partly driven by vengeance, tempered by the knowledge that someone would've flown...

We know nothing about the Hellcat's range, price, or ease of maintenance- only that it's an old design, and one whose parts seem generic enough to be cannibalized by Pliers for whatever the Border Worlds have flying. It IS a very average craft, and given that we're all used to...

The only 'vaporization' I recall from Firekka was K'Kai's mother getting vaped by a SHIP turret when Thrakath was escaping with K'Kai and the other hostages in Freedom Flight. Otherwise, there were bodies all over the place (such as the SNES 'cutscenes' showed with the scientists in the Gimle...

May I recommend the old Jump Theory FAQ?

Actually, he WAS getting up in years - remembering that he had at least twenty years in fighters on the Claw alone, and before that had been in Intelligence (see the WC Movie). Hell, he also indicated he'd been with the Iason, if I remember my lines right, which means he's been involved in the...

Only if you were using a cheat system to keep the gun capacitors topped off at 100%. Normally, the Hornet's gun banks would drain dry in less than 20 seconds if you kept firing like that; but that's still better than the Raptor's '8 shots of Full Guns, and you're tapped'. Personally, I loved...

I particuarly liked how Grayson Burrows has apparently become a pirate, with a heck of a bounty on his head. Looks like we know what route HE went after Righteous Fire...
