There's a corollary to this point: not all things are insects, even if they share physiological features which may appear to be similar or identical. Just because crabs and ants are both arthopods does not mean that the crab is an insect as they've both got exoskeletons. Neither are...

Except that at the same time, some of those speculations don't make sense - see my pencil analogy. You can use both devices the same way (to write things) and they use similar ideas (using graphite or some other material to mark another item), but the technologies between those two may be very...

How does that a) relate to the Nephilim, and b) if I go ahead with some super-high tech version of a pencil, then if I can use it the same way I use a stick of graphite, does that mean they're technologically the same, or that they're at similar tech levels? Remember that the wreck is ANCIENT -...

That's the keyword - 'require for humans'. Here, we're dealing with what is effectively a predator species, so maturation is apparently quite fast as a result. They don't talk about how long training takes, though End Run suggests that the average Kilrathi pilot gets thrown into an academy...

They already made a game where you flew for the Kilrathi - we called it Wing Commander: Armada.

Honor left the battlefield the first day that victory mattered - the honorable guy's usually the one who gets shot in the back when he turns to allow a fallen foe a graceful exit. :D

Don't forget all those history books which talk about events during Feudal Japan that use 'In the 20th Year of Emperor Kammu.

I remember when Gnome was the bloated, sluggish one compared to KDE... but that was back when Gnome 1.0 was first released. :D Have you tried just using Windowmaker or something and then running a light desktop program on top of it instead? KDE and Gnome are convenient to use, but as Kris...

In this, you are correct - look at the title below said flag - "The Residence, Dumfuirlin, Scotland, Earth" - Paladin was born on Aries Station, an orbital platform involved in the terraforming of Venus, and his PARENTS were from Scotland. Thus, if you look at background, you could call him...

It's spam, really - and I think I enjoyed the original 'You're the man now, Dog!' with Connery more than this...

Yup. Next on their list - Barbie dolls, teddy bears without clothing, and Disney!

I'd probably go with the concept that particle guns are either too big (in terms of support equipment) or too energy intensive to fit onto a fighter which is already probably pushing its design envelopes... or they're trying to put in systems which they KNOW will work on a relatively untested...

The buildings in Daggerfall had things pretty close together, at least in the cities, and Aldru'un and Vivec seem suitably contained in Morrowind. The openness of the imperial city in Oblivion, in comparison, seems a bit odd, even if we're back in Cyrodil.

At least you won't have to ride in a hollowed-out cross between a water beetle and a cockroach to travel around that part of Tamriel. :D It looks interesting, so far as a game goes, if only because it's focusing on a VERY small part of the world, unlike the previous Elder Scrolls games...

LOAF's only contribution to the Fleet Tactics page was to provide some of the pictures and background data that psych turned into the website in question - it's no more LOAF's site than the Ultima Dragons' page is Lord British's site. And again, read the disclaimer I posted below.

Because Spacebattles encourages idiocy like trying to compare different universes with different technologies and then debating what side is 'better', ignoring both logic and common sense.

There's also a disclaimer on the site which you've apparently, like half the people who post here using Fleet Tactics to justify their POV, ignored. "And last, while I tried to make my project as close to WC as possible, it will be arrogant to say that my stuff is canon. By estimates, the...

You should ask yourself if you need a convection cooker or not - if you don't, stick with the Best Buy one. Otherwise, look at the Sears one... and try to find something a tad cheaper. Nine times out of ten, unless you cook for yourself often, you probably won't need the convection cooker...

One more thing to note - the last time EA tried to market another game which was not a Sims game or a sports game, they kinda got soaked. See "The Sims Online" for an example of this. :D I doubt they're willing to risk another experiment on WC quite yet, at least outside of a console release...

For me, part of the charm of WC1 was that you affected the outcome of the story they tried to tell -and- that there were so many little things that helped with the immersion. Seeing the joystick move on the screen with your own joystick movements was a neat little touch, for example, along with...
