I don't see how the Tarawa's slight edge in speed would give it that much of an advantage over the Victory- it's still not going to be able to outrun a Longbow, and, unlike the Tarawa, the Victory won't get hulled with a single torp hit. The other major disadvantage the Tarawa has is that it...

The Victory is a dedicated carrier that can launch multiple fighters at once off of it's large flight deck (including bombers) and has a dedicated defensive suite vs. bolted on weapons. It also has some artillery support for fleet action in the form of a capship missile launcher.... the...

I liked the Tigershark- the charging mass drivers and rocket pod were awesome. It was a competent fighter all the way around, which is more then I can say about the stupid hellcat :-p

The hellcat V- that ship was like a watered down rapier- it was supposed to be a "jack of all trades"- it felt more like a "jack of no trades."

I thought the Cerberus was kinda cool- secret ops didn't give it much personality, but the plasma gun + cap ship missile launchers in the bow were neat- I felt like it was one of the most interesting designs of the post-wc2 era (it wasn't a flying shoe box!)

I could think of a bunch of reasons you're escorting destroyers all the time- destroyed fighter complements on the destroyers themselves; fleet command ordering the destroyers' fighter complements to some distant objective, and using carrier based fighters to fill in for CAP purposes; damage to...

Victory/Lexington- the flying shoeboxes were just such a letdown after flying off of a PTC wielding, mean, green, 1960's tailfin inspired machine- the Concordia was inspired, but still had some consistencies with the original Tiger's Claw. A close second for least favorite carrier was the...

Well, if torps need lock time to detect the frequency they need to pass through shields, it would be logical that you would KNOW the frequency of your own shields and calibrate your torps accordingly :-p

Who knows- torps pass through shields, as do AMG's (at least with capships)- it would make sense that you wouldn't need to drop your shields to fire those.

I think so- it's been awhile since I've dusted off my 3DO

Well, I know how I'd want to test my new semi-invisible Capship missile if I was fuzzball brass... against one of the biggest and most famous ships remaining in the Confed fleet! :) Speaking of that- what platform were skippers launched off of? I seem to remember Dralthi IV's, Kamranis, and...

Solid- I'm stoked about the release- you guys should be really proud of your work!

You know, it occurred to me that maybe it wasn't Strakhas that destroyed the Concordia- all we know is that cloaks were involved. What about Skippers?

The thud was built from a rapier II chassis? for real? And wasn't the Epee around in the 2650's per WCA?

Actually, you know what would be really cool? An empire building game kind of like galactic civ but where you can build, field, and fly with your own forces based in the WC universe. It would be fun seeing what happens when you blast a Kat colony with a bug ship killing plasma gun! :)

I'd like to see a war between the BW and the Kilrathi spill into Confed space.

Oh yeah- BTW- I think the pic is freakin awesome. Don't let the nitpicking get to you!

Are those dots on the deck of the render people? That's kinda neat. Speaking of which- you Saga guys ever going to post a screenshot of the Confederation Class for Saga? And is the Phase Transit Cannon going to be functional???

hehe, I always thought the non-Standoff Rapier II and Sabre kinda sucked due to gun placement (and especially the Sabre due to it's crappy shields and armor compared to it's large size)- the Broadsword tore s*** up. That said, the Standoff Rapier II is a downright respectable fighter.

Ok- a bit of constructive criticism- I really like how the game looks, and the implementation of the sound effects and launch tube take off are great- but you need to try and tweak a couple things with the game, and I'm not sure whether you or the FC programmers need to address the following-...
