Probably so in Privateer you didn't get a hit to the fuel tank and spring a leak , you blew up spectacularly .

Thank you ! That was a simple and concise explanation . It does however lead me to many more questions . How is combat decided ? How long are "turns" ? (i.e. do you have to be on-line "IM-ing" , a day , whenever you next post ?) Is there a position for a novice in Fleet/Wing tactics ...

I like it. I would think you would be more concerned with the ships to your left , right and above , the guy in front is gonna die soon .

My guess is " if I recall correctly " , but I'm not sure .

Brad , Welcome back , how goes it ?

I really don't want to fan the flames , but... What is a WCAAO RPG ? To me a RPG involves a group of people sitting around with paper , pencils , dice and some books usually well worn books . Please don't tell me it's just the same thing on computers . How does it work , what is the...

I belive that you would need to move in order to collect a noticable amount of fuel . Though kentic energy would keep you in motion if you cut your engines. Scoops only aquire non-jump fuel , so if you lost/used all your supply of normal fuel you would need ? days ? to aquire enough to travel...

I am asking to see if I do .

Being able to tour your ship sounds great ! For a "dash" orniment , how about a Kilrathi clawing a scracthing post . I don't know if they were well enough known in this era to have degrading trinkets of them yet . (saw a similar one of a buck rubbing his antlers on a tree )

Howard , if I follow your explanation , Your scoops (when in operation ) are constantly replinishing your non-jump fuel , at a much slower rate than your consumption . This reduces your need for non-jump fuel slightly . The afterburner is a huge power drain , which by throwing a lot of...

I am sure one of the WC gurus can make short work of a "proper" answer . I do remember afterburner "fuel" and guns "energy stores" using the same indicator. Fuel for engines , power for afterburner , it would replenish / recharge itself .

Fine by me.

EU ? I assume you aren't refering to the European Union . No I was talking about the dozens of books written that Lucas Arts had to approve ( to make absolutely sure they were "canon" ) , and they were very particular about what they would permit . To have put such a ridgid sytem in place...

I am unfamilar with the comments that you refer to , but Georgey didn't cripple the continuity , He threww it out the window .

Plasteel , I am so glad to see you in good spirits . Please speak your mind , but be prepared for others to do likewise . Look forward to see how this project advances , and your contributions to it. Cheers !

Plasteel , I am in no way a continuity cop . I'm to ignorant of the WCU to be, the only game I've played is Privateer , and read one book (Freedom Flight , maybe I can't remember title , which ever one is first with the jerk Aussie pilot ) . I never used the term Fanboyism , I'd never...

Sorry , the hull would also be very useful to Confed military R&D . Therefore not allowed out of thier control without many courtmartials and heads rolling . I just dont buy it , not beliveable . The Messerschmitt ploy would only work if it were 2730 and the jalthi were no longer a line unit...

Nose art , cool ! Nameable ships would be very nice ! Player flyable jalthi , naw . I just don't see a conviencing argument for it staying in a players hands. Kilrathi , pirates , crimelords , government would all be going all out to get it or destroy it . But you two seem really jazzed on...

Yes there would be screaming from around the globe . "they are doing this to dominate us" Blah , Blah ,Blah ... However it is the exact same defensive messures that won the cold war . "If" you are capable of stopping a missle from leaving your enemies air space so that it does not harm you...

Popeyes are growing up yonder ?! The way they all died out down here I thought they were going belly up . No white castles down here in N.C. , We have Krystals just about the same thing , only the "burgers" are only 2/3rd's the size .
