    Or the bugs might have simply hit the wall which hampers progress, because they are locked in a state of constant warfare. Development might have become stagnant since they are perpetually in conflict with some other race. Need to develop might be another factor. If they've relatively...

    Did the Excalibur have an M-AM drive? I don't recall anything in the documentation stating that it did.... And speaking of short lifespans, what about the Morningstar? On a related topic, whose idea was it to make the Mace a remote detonated weapon instead of a contact warhead? I don't...

    The Dragon, poor at maneuvering?? :rolleyes: Sounds like mutually exclusive terms to me. (Unless you compare her stats to the performers in Prophecy) The Bearcat on the other hand was still a more than decent ship. My only complaint about it is the placement of the guns. Mounting them on...

    Confed's Organization

    CAG Actually, from what I remember of context in Prophecy, the CAG's rank IS Colonel. She is referred to, and has referred to herself as the commander of her section. ie Commander Air Group.

    Definitely painful Napoleon. :) But my configs were set up for decent cheesing, not overcheese. I didn't modify any hardpoint, or tweak any energy stats. Just experimented with combos. I did import the Dragon once, and the only real tweaking I did to its stats were its maneuvering and...

    Personally, I'm wondering about the apparent similarities between Nephilim and Steltek engineering. Or maybe I've just seen one too many glowing green orbs on cap ships. :)

    I recommend......:) For SO, I've tried several configs and recommend the following. They've increased my kill score by more than 50 by campaign's end, and increased survivability for my wingmen too. :) Although I must admit to developing a fondness for fast firing weapons. Black Panther...

    Hmmmmm....reviewing the old posts though, I wouldn't mind a return of the Ferret. :) It's a pretty nasty little $**t in the hands of a competent pilot. Have any of you had the oppurtunity to use WCPEdit? I'd love to put a new wrinkle on that little thing with a pair of the new dust cannons...

    ---I definitely agree with that Azrael, but considering how easy it is to get swarmed, it's definitely preferable that the power output be boosted. At the risk of blowing my own horn, I've been able to dog the next target almost immediately after destroying my previous one, as I'm sure many, if...

    Another noteworthy disadvantage with the Vampire IMO, would be the guns' capacitor banks. More specifically, the recharge rate is ridiculously slow for a ship of its calibre. Sufficient, as long as you stick with stock guns, yes. But definitely not superior. Which is why she has all the...

    Let him die?

    I role-played. Blair's a boy scout, so I imagine he would've gone after the kid. :) Saved his sorry behind...

    Actually, the last time I saw the term "nephilim", it seemed to be in reference to one of the choirs of angels. For the bugs representing a different good, perhaps, perhaps not. Listening to the game dialogue, they are certainly out for conquest. To them that is their sole purpose for...

    Master Anarchist, The bugs were tentatively called nephilim by confed, but no one really knows the species' real name. The name "Nephilim" was announced in press releases for the game.

    Hardest Mission

    Not as crappy as flying the Devastator, albeit with a large attack squadron, to destroy Leviathan carrier, and on the way back, run into 3 Orca destroyers, with a few Barracudas, 3 supply ships, and a neverending supply of fighters....that was disgusting. :eek:

    Failing an absolutely perfect bomber interception, have you guys tried firing on the torpedoes? They're not as hard to shoot down as they look. :)

    Could I Play "SECRETOPS" on Multiplayer??

    Multiplayer WingComm?? GOD, don't we ALL wish!! =) Flying against the AI becomes a drag after a while. I've been itching to fly against another human player. WC Armada had multiplayer, as I recall. Think it's possible to use that?

    Starting.....

    Greetings to all Pilots on the list. The handle's Roach, so you can imagine how disappointed I was when I flew with Stilleto. ;-) *LOL* Since we're on the topic of edits and fan projects, I did some tinkering with WCPEdit and came up with some pretty nasty gun sets for the fighters, using off...
