I prefered using the Leech missles as much as possible, but I do seem to recall most of the time needing to knock down shields before any of the other missles would make a kill. I always loved how the atmospheric fighters, once leeched, would just float in mid-air.

I had to vote for the intro, but like some of the other's I think the best scene was the final Losing FMV.

What was Melek's actual job during WCIII?

Tolwyn's at the begining of WC2 was pretty good and Halycon gave some pretty good ones as well, but the "Elves" speech rules.

I just use an old Gravis Blackhawk. I have an even older Gravis hooked up to the machine I usually play Privateer on, since I'm too lazy to switch them.

Who would you chose from WC1 & 2? I never thought Angel was all that good looking in either 1 or 2. The WC1 Spirit was kinda cute, the WC2 hadn't aged well. Of the animated women, I'd have to go with Sparks. Taryn Cross over in Privateer would be a close second, or maybe the barmaid. In the...

Here's a link to the Claw Marks, which would have the WC1 bios. Not sure where the rest might be found. http://www.blacklance.org/claw/ And the WC2 manual which does not have bios. At least this one doesn't/ http://blacklance.org/WC2/ Thank TC for these

The F-17 was a Northrop design, iirc. They called it the "Cobra." They only built a couple prototypes in the early 70's. The Navy went with the F-18 instead. Doh! Took to long to reply. Darn job, keeps getting in the way of posting :)

Screw up at the publishing house, iirc. Appearently they couldn't keep track of the Keith brothers' projects. Andrew was the one invovled with FC and unfortunately passed away. He wrote one of the best author bios of all time which can be found towards the bottom of this page...

Junior, your theory also supposes that the Kilrathi would lose. While that did happen, I wonder what made the Nephillim so sure that eventuality would happen? If we hadn't gotten a few lucky breaks, the Kilrathi would have won. You might be able to make the argument that even if the Kilrathi...

We did get to see a little Firekkan architectur in SM2, iirc. The cityscape at the begining reminded me a bit of the Klingon capital. Though ST seems to cheat and all their capital look a lot alike. :) They had hovertanks, so I assume they may use the same tech for their personal vehicles...

I think he makes sense, since the question was what was the most powerful gun, not what was the most acurate or practicle in ship to ship fighting. IIRC, Halycon mentions Intel believed the Sivar class dreadnaught main gun wasn't a threat to the Claw because it could manuver out of harms way...

LOAF it was always in self defense :) Actually, it usually was.

That always bugged me. If you just happened to pick someone up, Confed automatically assumed you were a slaver. I never traded in slaves, I find the idea repugnant. I always considered any money I made from people I picked up as reward money paid by the government for the criminals.

Having trouble with the link. I assume it got yanked.

For the aces, wasn't the AI supposed to be better on them? I'm not sure about the Devil Ray, I rememeber the darn thing as being very manuverable and could shake missles if you fired them too far off.

Re: Another Quick Question Actually the files section of the CIC has them, if you have the KS version of the game. Origin has them at their site as well. At least they did. The CIC link is here https://www.wcnews.com/files.shtml If you have the original versions of the games, which...

The bugs are easy prey, but they do get lucky sometimes:) I agree with you on the SO Shrike. There were a couple other ships whose gun improvements between WCP and SO wasn't an improvement imho.

So did your WC1 Dralthi ace, Deathstroke, who's Kilrathi name eludes me at the moment.

WC4 (can't beat the story) Priv1 (replay value almost puts this over WC4, but graphics are getting painful <sigh>) WC2 WC1 Priv2 Armada Academy In the land of the addons, since I'm too lazy to try to order all of them together :) RF (by far the best, the story was better than Priv's)...
