    What bomber was the most powerful in the WC universe

    The devastator was horrible! Maneouverability of a small capship/'sport, only one main gun (plus a stormfire), just made it incredibly useless. Close to impossible to rid those annoying ships coming up behind you - and afterburners only took it to what, 380kps? At least the Shrike has an...

    What bomber was the most powerful in the WC universe

    Bit of extra speed and maneouverability... which for the Broadsword/Crossbow was a large percentage (320->370 iirc). And a slightly less bulky cockpit (sif you would play KS with cockpits off :) Oh, and of course just the novelty of flying a new ship in the game :)

    What is the book Secrets of the Wing Commander Universe?

    mpanty, what's worse? Not bidding on it, or being outbid in the last two minutes of the auction?

    Another good review of Wing Commander

    Here, the cops get VT Comodorres and Subaru WRXs... Look out if you find any corrupt cops in either :)

    Unforgiven, more like Dwarven Demolition squads :) Wait, there's an idea - stick Paladdin in my hardpoint next time out :DDD

    What bomber was the most powerful in the WC universe

    The Devastator had a gun with the power or a torpedo. Go figure. The Shrike wasn't bad. Broadsword certainly had the firepower, yet Crossbow was a better light bomber. The trouble with the way turrets were implemented in WC was well, you could only see one at a time. Realistically, you...

    Another good review of Wing Commander

    Unforgiven, somehow, I have to say the two (a mouse and real gun) are completely different :P I play quake 3 at an extremely high level - believe me, my aim sucks. Give me a pistol, bbgun or paintball gun, and I can hit some amazing shots though. Also, Raven, Banning guns here (since...

    Kilrathi Information

    Pft, what good are civillians over missiles. You can't exactly shove the civvies into the hardpoints and fire them at the enemy :P Besides, what would they do... grab onto the enemy ship and start dismantling it from the outside? :P

    Another good review of Wing Commander

    Yeh, rofl. I remember a few months back, some guy shot someone with a rifle from 200 yards away or something like that, and they blamed games like Quake for it... Yeh, sure, playing games with a mouse gets your hand-eye coordination that good doesn't it :)

    What bomber was the most powerful in the WC universe

    The Morningstar was basically a replacement for the Sabre, well, slightly toned down. Few less missiles, no turret. Wild, how can you like the Broadsword more than the Crossbow? Danm, the Broadsword wasn't even maneouverable!

    Conquest: Frontier Wars

    Preacher, are you at all surprised the treatment some get? For instance, I've already asked you nicely once about posting twice in a row. That alone, shits me to death, often with two posts in a row that are rather pointless except to increase your post count.

    Ship Colors

    I seem to remember the scimitar being brown too. One thing I disagree on is your mentioning of colors in WC3 - Most of the ships were painted with Yellow paint marks - notably the Hellcat and Longbow.

    Quick Question

    15 years in uni... fark, that's half your life gone already, just in education. For that reason I'm debating wether or not I want to complete a Masters or PhD.

    Silencer, I really, really, do not know :) I just thought 'stupid comment, sounds like something mpanty would say'. But it's Preacher, so I'm no less surprised :)

    Privateer 3??

    It shocked me when I first heard of Battle.net though, that Blizzard actually had the funds to do such a largescale thing. Cavedog, when they tried with Boneyards, went under. But then, if this another Microsoft things, well pft. Sif they don't have funds.

    Privateer 3??

    Addons are generally a lot cheaper, both in production and point of sale, hence, I would guess distributors are a lot easier on agreeing to release addons than to initial games, unless under exceptional circumstances. Especially since they usually don't manufacture as many as they would...

    Conquest: Frontier Wars

    mpanty, stop making generalisations. I too, generally dislike country music, but Shania Twain, for instance, is a country singer... yet I don't hate her music.

    Privateer 3??

    Be interesting to see how the general public sees of this, having the multiplayer release after the initial release. Most likely won't take too highly of it, though better than delaying the entire release.
