I almost made the bluehair comment as well. The Cats were flanking the Tarawa, iirc. What I was arguing was, given their knowledge of the area, it might have been possible to do the same with the Concordia. As for political pressure to not call in support, as I mentioned in my post, I...

Never got around to playing the Ultima games, I always prefered my adventure games to be of the text nature. It's been a while since I've played Privateer, and you only see a Steltek once, but I was thinking they were insect like, in a green Alien sort of way. But my memory could be fuzzy...

Maniac finally getting knocked on his butt for not keeping his mouth shut is up there as well.

I think you need Proving Grounds, iirc, for ipx network functionality. Then you can use Kali to play over the internet. I don't know of anyone who does, but there are a lot of things I don't know. I do know that Kali is in some sort of financial turmoil, so I'm not sure how long, or good...

Didn't want to requote your whole post, but didn't want confusion as to who I was replying to. First off, there were other Kilrathi carriers not involved with this action, the carriers sent to Vukar and those then redirected back to Kilrah were part of the Home Fleet. The Home Fleet is the...

For the two of you out there who haven't already been bored to tears by my idea :D I always wanted to tie in the Steltek and the bugs. My thought being they engineered them to be their protectors/police force. Or a renegade group of Steltek created them for another reason. Either way, the...

That's why I use bugs :D

Hobbes had recently requested transfer off of the flight roster. I'm sure they still had the seats around, if in fact that was what was needed for him to fit.

My experiences are different (we used to have Dells here, but moved to Compaq because of a deal with our parent company.) and the few times I needed to check about Dells (mostly at the time of Y2K, I got great service, and much of what I needed was on the web. However, I am a corporate...

What fighters did we see Hobbes fly? At least in WC2. I don't recall him being in a ferret or epee, but I'm not sure about the rest. He had to be able to fly anything in WC3, since whatever fighter you picked he flew the same.

I don't think add-ons are always harder, but I think there is a trend in that direction. I like them harder. Partly because add-ons tend to have slightly fewer missions. If they are harder the game lasts longer. Also, just as the first missions in the original game were easy, but the later...

I find the cheats take the fun out of the game, especially the snese of accomplishment, but I know how frustrating it can be. As for favortie moment it is kinda hard to pick. I think I'll go the sentimental route and say the end of WCIII. The war is finally over, and "I" am getting ready to...

Well, if you never read the books, it would be easy to miss in the game. He only flew a few missions with you, and he wasn't all that helpful at the end of SO1. In the novels I thought they did a nice job of making him an interesing character. Quarto, who I haven't seen over here much lately...

Really annoying commercials. When I see that kid's face, I scramble for the remote. Seriously part of it is name recognition, and in the States competitive pricing, at least among the brand name computers. Tarriff's or a variety of other economic reasons might explain high German prices...

Yeah, makes the traditional furless freak taunt seem ironic. That is if irony wasn't dead. ;)

Yeah you get a little more background info, plus ship stats. And the way things are going even if you don't want to play, you should buy it, tuck it away and in 4 years sell it on E-Bay :rolleyes:

Did I mention I've owned eight joysticks (not counting control pads for console games) in my lifetime. Now I have. :p Three that I used on my old C-64, and five that I've used on PC's. The C-64's were just crappy. That and Summer Games was hard on a joystick. However, I have a network...

Kevin Tolwyn is his Admiral Tolwyn's nephew. Jason "Bear" Bondarevsky was a minor character in Special Operations 1 (the first WC2 add-on) He was a pilot who was part of the "mutiny" on the Gettysburg. He helped to bring the Gettysburg back to Confed, and was not only cleared of any...

Nice to see someone else around here who is not a Sabre fan. It had nice offensive capabilities but those shields and armor always seemed to vanish. My I just sucked at flying the thing, but I never seemed to have that problem with most other craft.

No idea how that happened. I'm not saying the movie novels evoked in me, the same feelings as the game. I'm just saying, for me, the novels made the movie more palatable. I have the same "problem" with books and movies. I read the Stand before the mini-series, but when I reread it now, I...
