eBay sure brings out the idiot in some people.

Good point on the range - although I stated the Venture seemed like a Broadsword with a toilet and a bunk..I am mostly talking about combat ability. The main story of the first part of End Run shows the Confederation giving little consideration to the corvettes it requisitioned to backwater...

I got it for a dollar at a yard sale...had no idea, thought it was cool, though. It's kinda helped with the WCTC.

Why does everyone hate the Kilrathi? I really admire them. They really outshine the wussy Assyrians. :-) (dreddnott has a big orange stripy kitty purring in his lap right now)

Teach somebody to walk backwards from early childhood and they'll come up with amazing rationalizations later on. :-)

Judging from the size, they were probably heavy lasers. Also it has two turrets, one on top of each wing. In the XWA conversion we're making, they approximate an extremely large Broadsword, with of course much thicker shielding, although fairly maneuverable and fast.

1. DXF doesn't do textures 2. XWA doesn't do skinmaps The texturing paradigms behind XWA and WCP are far removed, so I won't be needing the Fralthi's textures at all, just the wireframe (I'll see if I can find it somewhere on the 'net before I try the conversion to DXF). BTW...

Yes, I have End Run, that was a Venture-class corvette, manufactured in the period immediately previous to WC1, and no attention was paid to it by anyone except the crew. In WC2 and WC3, as far as I know, no new Corvette-class ships are produced, and instead we get heavy bombers (the...

No. But I'm making one.

No, Dragon, this is not SW vs WC. This is merely a dissertational foray into the wonderful world of ship class distinctions and comparisons between space-sim games. Dreadnaughts, classically, are large, fast ships with many large guns of an equal caliber. The original Dreadnought, built in...

This is totally messed up. Especially when you start throwing in multiple pages. I don't like opening a thread and having to zip down to the bottom to start reading, because then the replies spoil the whole thing (only once). I can get used to reading vertical right-left Japanese text, but this...

I was looking through the UE site, and frankly there wasn't much technical information, I need a lot of that before I can help you out, like, for instance, all the ships you plan on importing (is it just Scim and Gratha, or what?), and what you already have done. I have every single WC1...

Hornet is cool. You learn to appreciate it, at least in the XWA TC. :-) But of course, if you eat the Jalthi's sixguns more than once, you're toast...which is why I like the Scimitar more if I'm going after anything above a Krant. The Raptor is still my all-time favorite, the Rapier A is...

Heh, and I thought he was Satan five minutes into WC2... Never even got past Privateer, though.

Also, finished one of the WC Armada craft - so here's a couple pics (4 total in http://www.xwlegacy.net/wctc/pics folder): Pretty spiffy... This is a very maneuverable and fairly fast fighter, due to the positioning of its engines. However, it suffers, like the future Bearcat, from bad...

The only way to fix it would be to actually fatten up the wings and add a leading (or maybe trailing) edge polygon to the mesh. Or use our models. :-) Speaking of which...we will be using a couple of ships that did not appear in the games or anything else (besides my imagination): The...

The somewhat weak forward armament of dual lasers will be offset by the two dual mass driver cannon turrets that actually rotate and track you. :-) Remember that ConFed found the whole corvette thing undesirable by WC2 (you'll agree the Broadsword is far superior), so it won't be finding its...

The XWA TC team is hoping to prove you deadly wrong... :-)

Hehe, don't even get me started on Sailor Moon in the manga! The connection between bunnies and girls is Usagi's name - Tsuki (moon) no (can be viewed as either possessive particle or letting you know it's a last name) Usagi (means, basically, rabbit). So she's called Bunny of the Moon...

As it is, with armour differences being so drastic between games, we'll be setting up capship shields/armour to take a certain number of torpedo hits, and we will take a bit of liberty (but try to keep the ship durability in proportion to ships of the same size and/or same time period). For...
