Behemoth was definitely the largest, with the biggest gun. If you consider raw punch, then yes,it would be the most powerful. However, the Behemoth was just one huge gun. I flew through and around her, and I didn't see anything which even remotely resembled a hangar deck, so she doesn't seem...

Well, they can certainly use them now. If overheating was the only problem, they could do something with the recharge time. As I recall, confed PTC's were built to charge and fire twice as fast as the original Kilrathi version. I assume so that they can outgun them. With newer technology...

Join me, confed brethren and invoke the chant for the quick snap-shot deaths of capships! *Bring back the nukes....* *Bring back the nukes....* *Bring back the nukes....* *Bring back the nukes....* *Bring back the nukes....* *Bring back the nukes....* ............... With the...

Have any of you guys experienced collision with your shields down? If you collide with anything with your own shields down, or if an enemy strikes your shields with his down, the ship takes damage. If you hit an asteroid, it won't matter if your shields are up because of the mass of the rock...

Inquiry Whatever happened to the old Phase Transit technology, and the anti-matter guns they used to put on the ol' Dreadnought class? I'd imagine those weapons would make confed pretty kickass. :D

Well, I don't really pick up the novels, but what I did observe was this: They never actually show Blair die, and a tower from the gate fell back through the wormhole. Who's to say it wasn't Blair's tower? ;) Although, if that's the case, IF he returns, the shape he may be in will look...

Oldun, I have some file configs which may help you. You can't run 'em from Windows, but they're real user friendly if you put 'em in a boot disk. Just email me for them. roach@mail.asiagate.net

Gentlemen, I've got a boot config for a seperate boot disk which I still use to run ARMADA on my system, even with the DOS operating system 7.10 which comes with Windows95. I'm currently at work, but if anyone would like the configuration, just post the word, and I'll post the appropriate...

For our Privateer's name, I think I remember what fiction you're talking about, but I also remember the writer of he fiction narrating the introduction, and mentioning he/she changed the names of the people to protect their identities. I don't recall our Privateer directly giving Admiral...

Hmmmmm.......now that I think about it, no, no one's made any OFFICIAL comments. If anything was found, SRA might've simply clamped the lid on the whole affair. The Retros aside, there was an awful lot of confed ship traffic when your Privateer took out the drone. Maybe something survived?

Oopsie again! Apologies General. I keep misspelling your callsign. :o

Quatro: Oops....fergot 'bout that. With the Steltek connection derailed, that might fall back on the Prophecy fiction then. Or, like my earlier suggestion, since you only found one gun on the derelict fighter, what happened to the other weapon? Station looked gutted, probably even...

Wedge009: Whoops! Only noticed the content of your posts after I posted. :) I found the same thing. Quatro: Why did I think the connections were plausible? See my previous post before this one.

Re: Fission/Fusion confusion OK, I only just got to see the posts, so here's my reply. Regarding the Fusion cannon in Privateer, I am guessing the reasons it was based to the powered down version of the Steltek gun, and the Fission gun being the powered up version is in the following: 1)...

Hey! Plot device! :) If Confed R&D was able to get that, then I'd suppose they had their own agents inside the Church of Man in the Gemini sector? It's the only other time the Steltek gun was out of player sight. ;) OR...since you only found one gun on the fighter, whatever happened to...

One other thought.... Another consideration which we also seem to be forgetting is WHEN the Kilrathi wrote K'nathrak. If the Nephilim were indeed, the "Ultimate Evil" described in the prophecy, then I'd think this is what they, a starfaring race would seem like to a bunch of stone throwing...

Quarto: Precisely. What I meant when I spoke of loss of life, is just that: the loss of specific lives, particularly the brains of the race who can produce and further their technology. This doesn't necessarily mean their ability to produce what they have, but to produce something new and...

Although true that war gives a race a goal to excel and develop, there is still the flip side. In war, especially if a hypothetical opponent is indiscriminate, any target is fair game. Military bases, ships, habitats, even labs. Facilities can be struck, destroyed, and lives lost. Even...
