    You prefered simulator ship?

    Not sure what you're talking about... in WC1 and 2 the Mass Drivers had a range of 3000, sure. But from what I've seen so far, in Standoff they have the longest range of all guns (maybe except Lasers). Yet, it is still harder to hit with Mass Drivers+Particle then with Lasers+Particle, because...

    Excellent suggestions for Standoff team

    I... though I usually tried to get through with 300-350 :D (especially in battles to avoid being a sitting duck) More or less the same here... and don't forget to mention these 4 waves were mostly Gratha and Jalthi (to be exact 4 Gratha, 4 Jalthi, 4 Krant and again 4 Gratha - I wrote it down...

    - and the Rapiers/Epees in the Confed gauntlet do so even more; the Epees especially like to DF me from nearly no distance :/ ...

    Excellent suggestions for Standoff team

    If so, I'd say it seems to me (which of course is a subjective point of view) that the range of the mass driver is too large compared to, for example, particle cannons, while it's speed is too slow. And also I'd like to suggest to make Hornet and Raptor smaller (not sure to which amount, maybe...

    You prefered simulator ship?

    Hm, haven't played it too much yet, so I'm not sure about which ship I prefer most here... Still I always liked the Sabre back in WC2 because of its multi-role features - not too bad speed, not too little shields/armor, a decent armament including torpedoes, and, best of all, even a turret to...

    Thanks for searching :) . Seems I'll have to continue hoping, then...

    Any updates on Prophecy MP Patch?

    Does it? Ooops... Thank you very much then, I'll test it in a while :) . And I pretty much remember a Win95-version of Armada also being in the store back when I bought it - was angry (at myself) about not buying that one for quite some time...

    This game is still alive but EA wants to kill it

    Yeah, that point I remember... must be remembering the books false then - I thought the Mantu as well as something other were mentioned (and somehow still think so - should read the books again, it seems). And I also think it was not only in Fleet Action, but also in the WC3-book, because I...

    Any updates on Prophecy MP Patch?

    I'd rather like to... but I have the DOS version of Armada and never really could get it to run on my Win98. And DOSBox requires WinXP, right? :( Oh, and of course - great work with that MP-patch, HCl ! :) I have no problem waiting for it if it takes longer - be it because of program...

    Wing Commander Relaunch

    Is the S:AaB DVD-set planned to be released in Germany, too? I haven't seen it so far...

    This game is still alive but EA wants to kill it

    Would be an idea, but wouldn't be too necessary... (and I could imagine Nephilim space literally swarming with ships - not a healthy region to do ANY operation in, after all that was why they destroyed the first wormhole) - remember the Kilrathi emperor eventually knowing of something moving...

    Cloaking

    So it's finally in? yippie! :) Does it already have effect vs. AI-pilots and/or missiles? And nice renders, btw. Well said, well said... Reminds me of that note in the WC3 manual where they said something about one Strakha being able to wipe out several Hellcats (4 or 5 I think it was) ...

    WC4 Mod For Homeworld 2 In The Works (June 5, 2006)

    Only read the Black Lance part so far (it's becoming late here...) . Sounds very good so far - not the usual "no superweapons" but rather the limitations they SHOULD have - high cost and low number :) . Count me as looking forward to the release. Haven't played HW2 much so far (as opposed by...

    Question about Priv2

    Yes, sure - I was just joking a bit about your typo - that he'll be able to force any ship YOU want... ;)

    Sim Questions

    "running at full capacity"? Interesting formulation... You'd better let him have some life, too ;) . About the cockpits: Well, I don't want to over-stress this, there might be others who like the ships as they are. But right now the "glass"-part of the Shok'lar reminds me of a F-16, which it...

    Standoff Mission Builder ??? Standoff Academy ???

    Not that I have used it so far... But from what I heard, you're looking for WCPPascal, it seems to be something to program WCP-missions, and thus it should also work for a WCP-mod (well, SO-mod, but it might not make that much difference) like Standoff (more qualified personal is of course free...

    The Hardest Missions!

    Agreed on #1... did you fly all nav points? 4 Navs full of cats PLUS the Exeter and Rapiers in between... **ouch** (on this occasion, how was that phrase about "think of it as having a WIDE target selection" I heard somewhere???) Think i beat it one or two times - while trying certainly 20+...

    Privateer 2 ship images

    Hm, not sure (haven't played Priv2 much due to technical problems) - but to me they look like they're swept FORWARD... (hope this is somewhat helpful)

    News update

    Ooops, sorry then for buggering about Kilrathi ships in the other thread... @Tigerhawk: What's wrong with the Tigershark? Personally I rather like it.
