Hey, what if you had an unfurlable screen of tripwires, so that fighters which flew into it would get caught... like a net of some sort...

I like the "both ships crashed at the same time" theory. It actually makes some sense, if the Confederation and the Concordia were patrolling together. Or maybe they crashed and burned up. Hrm, maybe I should buy that WC3 novelization after all...

Hey, green is a color. :) You know what George Washington said: You can have your comms in any color you want, as long as it's green.

Oh, no question that they're clearly the ships from the WC games, as opposed to something completely different like in the movie; however, as animated drawings for a TV series, they inevitably have some minor discrepencies here and there, and they just plain look different in "high resolution". :)

Perhaps I'm simply oblivious to the trevails of the common man computer user, seeing how I'm using Linux and my computer hasn't crashed in a few years, but even Microsoft software has gotten considerably more stable over time. It's pretty hard to crash Windows 2000 or Windows XP unless you have...

To figure out the angles involved. Although I think I have one clip that shows the Vesuvius turning at a ridiculously high rate... which would save me the time of having to analyze ratios of the dimensions of the ship, perform perspective correction, and analyze rotations in 3D dimensions...

I wasn't seriously trying to figure out what the black fuel was... I was trying to make a mockery of fossil-fueled fighters. But alas, the oil theory didn't hold water. I never denied that hydrazine burned, or that any of the three propulsion systems were reaction drives... I was just making...

Just make sure you get it in before April 1st.

Bah, great. Now I'm going to have to get out a ruler and do the trig to figure out what the exact answer is... P.S. Didn't realize the other thread was dead. I'll be more careful next time.

Well, you're also forgetting Amdahl's law: 1) Rule of thumb: 90% of the time is spent in 10% of the code. 2) If you speed up the least-used 90% of the code by an infinite amount, your program becomes 10% faster. 3) If you speed up the most-used 10% of the code by an infinite amout, your...

Maybe. I suppose it's a rule of cartoon violence that only unimportant characters get blown to shreds (and even then, only off-screen or in the form of inanimate objects like a fighter). However, from my recent viewing, I only remember one escaping. It could have been a two-seater. I'll have...

I remember seeing the PTC in WC2 in terror as it proceeded to plow into my fighter and blow the poor thing to scrap. The spikey things: I originally thought they were fixed weapon mounts myself, but when I last saw the cutscene, it seems to me that the Vesuvius is actually firing the...

But what about the SNES version of WC2? Not that I care either way, since I've never owned a console (that's right, folks: not a single one).

It seems like a tachyon cannon can run a number of Nephilim or Kilrathi ships through in one hit, so I don't really see why it couldn't do a number on a Broadsword, especially an unshielded one. As for a wargame, I'd be interested in the minatures alone, or any sort of model, really (screw...

Actually, you're ALL wrong (about the shuttle, anyway). The shuttle has about three major propulsion systems. The main engines (which are used to get into orbit, and ONLY to get into orbit) require a huge massive liquid oxygen/hydrogen tank to get into orbit, along with the two solid rocket...

I'm voting for TCS Victory (with a name like that, how can you lose?) and Eisen. Why? Well: 1) Whether or not the Tiger/Tiger's Claw could beat Tarawa and Victory to a pulp, or how many fighters each could field... when you get right down to it (judging from the games), one Broadsword or...

Or maybe Blair forgot what the TCS Concordia's number was, and that really was the TCS Confederation... traitor! It could also have been an elaborate Black Lance plot. *shrug*

What kind of icing is that? :) Now let's see if the Dow can pass LOAF. Man vs. machine! Or is it machine vs. man? Bah.

Or you could argue that everything is a sub in space, or else would be too vulnerable to attack. But I fear attracting the attention of the SWACS fanboys again, who seemed to have settled into a quiet ceasefire. As for Confed not having economic superiority: yes, it probably wasn't quite as...
