Didn't the Armada manual talk about Morningstars being Confed's primary fighter for a while?

That's the day of the year. 2667.143 is the 143rd day of 2667. May 23, 2667

I can't directly help with your problem, but I do know that providing your save file would be very helpful to someone who can help.

I remember that movie!

somehow the idea of just primitively launching people into the air while they shoot at things from the air is quite humorous

Even in that case they were Libyan aircraft, and the first was downed with a Sparrow.

He's probably referring to the Gulf of Sidra incident of 1981 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gulf_of_Sidra_incident_(1981) But he got his facts mixed up. The aircraft in question were Libyan Su-22s, not Syrian MiGs (unless he is using MiG generically to mean bogey). Later two MiG-25s showed up...

I'm a big fan of military aviation so I found this post quite interesting until it fell into a horrible attempt at insulting people. I am not amused.

I do have to say, though, that even though they simplified the story quite a bit for the GBA release, it *did* introduce the series to a broader audience. Max Gene's very presence here is proof of that.

That's correct. Nvidia acquired 3dfx before the release of the GeForce 3 but never implemented the Glide standard.

Well, some fighters have higher yaw than pitch turn rates or vice-versa, so in a fighter like the Panther it would be beneficial to roll to keep your target on the horizontal, or in the Vampire on the vertical. Without an analog rolling device like rudder pedals or a turning joystick it can be...

That reminds me of how I would call the Rapier in Wing Commander the Raper until my older cousin corrected me one time.

I should add that I meant to say "interface-agnostic" rather than antagonistic.

On the contrary, Windows 95B and C (Release 2.1 and 2.5, respectively) had built-in USB support, and the earlier versions of 95 had drop-in USB support from Microsoft, but I digress. I can't vouch for Kilrathi Saga (I've always just played the original DOS versions through DOSBox which maps USB...

Some transition into WC3 at the very end of Standoff would be really neat indeed

Also pretty frequently in the Bible, God is addressed on a "first name" basis in the Old Testament, as anytime (especially in the King James Version) you see "the LORD" (Lord in all capitals, though ORD might be in smaller type than the L), it was the ineffable name of God in the Hebrew (the...

I think my favorite fictional animal-based alien species are ones that aren't anthropomorphized, like the Ur'Quan or Ilwrath from Star Control 2, though that game did have its share of humanoid aliens as well.

Sure, but you might also say that most anthropomorphic cats look similar to each other. :>

I think Phase Shielding *is* a special type of tech, but not in the way you were describing. The fact that torpedoes *did* pass through the shielding completely is testament to the fact that special technology had to be made to counteract the specific weakness of the phase shielding. However...

Surely someone else will make another fan project sometime or another!
