I don't know, is it really better than the "what is your favorite fighter?" topic? :) Actually I did think he did a nice job. It got me to thinking, which is often a dangerous thing. Maybe a series of bios for all the major characters should be written up. It should stick to the facts...

And that was my initial reason for not buying it, I did not like the movie. I've had a bit of a change of heart on that subject though. The outline of the third movie novel, seemed to do a good job of tying up a lot of the problems I thought the movie introduced into the WC universe. I still...

Is this from the Confed Handbook? I'd never seen it before, but I don't own the Handbook. Should just break down and buy it. But then I wouldn't have as many questions to pester you with :)

The theory is right, LOAF, that analogy though... :)

Directed by Chris Roberts Written by Chris Roberts and Kevin Droney Digital Anvil was the production company.

I didn't have the orignal map here in the office. Thought I might have missed it. Fleet action p. 13 The clan leaders are trying to figure out what to do. Jukaga mentions that Tlamak suggested they fall back from the outer colonies. Jukaga mnetions the Kilrathi couldn't take that kind...

Wasn't the second worm hole's energy source just a binary star system? Binaries are pretty common. Or was there more to it than that. It's been a while since I've read all the SO fiction. If it is something more rare than that, what is it that makes it rare and can it be detected ahead...

In a time of crisis a lot of people like to go back to folks who have had proven leadership. Not to mention it is hard for some people to quietly ride off into the sunset, especially when war is breaking out. As for unrest in the empire, Paladin was highly placed during WCIV and there...

Forstchen seemed to have an axe to grind with Clinton, whether his complaints are legitimate or not are the topic for another board. My only comment was Rhodam seemed to be a bit fit for the head of Confed's government at the time. He was a good fit for the kind of character Forstchen wanted...

Re: Re: My Tolwyn Essay Sickle cell trait in a malarial environment. Granted being SS sucks, and in a non malarial environment, being AS, is not ideal, but if you have the are in a malarial environment, AS beats AA. Ah the good old days of evolutionary theory. I'll have to wander over...

Maybe by the time of that epsiode they had inoculations. I can't say for certain they fought in bio-suits. I thought I had read that somewhere, but that doesn't mean a whole lot. I don't remeber the dates for Repleetah, I just remeber it was at least a decade long, and in the end no one was...

You're right. For those of you who are planning to read Freedom Flight but haven't, stop here or forever hold your peace. The novels pretty much depict the Firekkans as very frustrated with Confed. From the Firekkans point of view they signed a treaty with Confed. The Kilrathi show up...

The Kilrathi showed no remorse :) Sorry couldn't resist. Seriously, I don't have the WCIII manual here at the office, but as I recall, there were both Human and Kilrathi scientists on the planet before war was declared. Sort of a scientific retreat for folks from all races. They tried to...

I wondered how long it would take for this argument to pop up again. LOAF, started reading thorugh End Run after I looked at all the notes in this thread (my head is starting to hurt :) ) I saw your comment about End Run not getting systems and sectors straight. Not sure how you want to...

LOAF, where are you "working" now? Did you finish down at Texas? Anyhow, read through a good bit of Freedom Flight on the train into the office this morning. Couldn't find any references to any additional systems or descriptions of how one gets from one location to another. Ralgha...

I am not up to speed on everything, so if I've duplicated something, I apologize in advance. I would map at least the portion of Hari space that was involved in Fleet Action. As for other races, if they are possesion of the Kilrathi now, I would use Kilrathi names. I imagine Confed would do...

Gemini made it in to the map that came with Prophecy (at least certain versions of it) Other than that, it didn't get any mentions in the rest of the games or novels, with the excpetion of course of Priv and RF. Otherwise nothing except perhaps in one of the Prima guides, never owned one, so I...

I think you could get a decent story out of it. We know of the illegal order the Gettysburg's skipper gave, but he details of the mutiny are murky. Why did he give that order. After the mutiny, why did some of the pilots decide, "hey, let's be pirates!" while the others wanted to try to find...

I've been very busy in the "real" world. FInished a couple projects here at work, so I have a bit more time. My wife and I are thinking of moving back to Ohio, which would involve job searches. We live in Washington DC and the attacks have freaked her out a bit. This always has been my...

The Kilrathi interpretted events as they saw them, perhaps not as they happened. If space ships landed on Earth several thousand years ago with the kind of weapons we see in th WC universe, I could see people thinking they were some kind of gods, even though they weren't As I said, there is...
