    Definitely the Concordia (Confederation Class Dreadnaught). 8 AMGs, 1 PTC and a PIAPT :D

    What's your (Call)Sign?

    Easy. 'Dr No', and 'Live and Let Die'. You can throw in 'Never Say Never Again' and 'Casino Royale' if you like, but neither of those are 'official' Bond movies.

    What's your (Call)Sign?

    I guess they were planning to retire Q anyway. Desmond Lleweln was looking decidedly old (well, he was 85 in the last Bond). I imagine they will have to find some way to 'retire' him. The 'death of Q in a mysterious explosion' would add a nice personal vengeance touch.

    Gratuitous Ship Thread

    Yeah. The scatter-gun or whatever is quite a nice package.

    What's your (Call)Sign?

    Cleese was never intended to replace Q ("R" was a nickname Bond invented), but to be a sidekick. I don't believe that Cleese has been officially cast in the new Bond yet. IIRC in some of the books, Q is replaced by a female, who Bond calls Qute.

    I'm confused on 3 things...

    He just couldn't work out why he could never set his hair-dryer to anything less than extra-crispy.

    Privateer 2-The Darkening

    Well, strangely enough, we're still using guns that fire bullets today, despite the fact that they were used several centuries ago. Admittedly, ours are just sliiiiightly more effective, but the concept remains the same. And yes, I would agree that the Kraven is overpriced and not worth the...

    I'm confused on 3 things...

    I think there are a number of reasons. Let's start with "Why not take Blair". A couple of things apply here. Firstly, the old "don't put all your eggs in one basket". If you are going to make a risky (and it WAS risky - Eisen would have a pretty fair idea that the Lexington would send...

    What's the Stupidest Way You've Died? (Now 20% More New And Improved!)

    Yes, I too have had the joy of sitting there slack jawed as my flaming wreckage was hurtled off the flight deck. As for my stupidest way of dying (as in the one that actually took some active stupidity from me), like most people, it has to do with landing on the Tiger's Claw. I actually...

    Privateer 2

    Jump? You overstimate my dedication and understimate my laziness. :o Dignified? Is that what they call it these days? :D

    Privateer 2

    The problem is, it doesn't quack like a duck. Sure, it walks kinda like a duck (there are spaceships, and shields, and guns, and planets, and ....) so its probably a wading bird of some description. But, as stated, there are no Cats or Confed or Retros or ANYTHING about it that jumps up and...

    Privateer 2

    Priv 2 is a pretty good game. Pros : IMHO the plot is pretty good. Movies are atmospheric and appropriate, acting is on the whole pretty good (I have a lot of time for both Clive Owen and Christopher Walken ... although Walken has been in a couple of movies he probably regrets). There...

    WC2 Questions

    Strange as it mays seem, the Medals were awarded more for how much damage you took, rather then how much you dealt. Fly a perfect mission, taking out 20 enemy with no damage and you get jack. Come back with no armor and one gun left and they give you a Gold Star. Go figure.

    What happened?...

    Besides, "Heart of the Tiger" is the Kilrathi nickname for him. Given the circumstances that he finds this out (e.g. his close friend Ralgha goes rogue, his girlfriend gets impaled) I don't think he'd go around calling himself that.

    I'd go with Clive Owen

    Gunners who can shoot

    Yeah! I'll deal with my conscience after you're dead. p.s. 19 huh? That's still way too old to be a Japanese Mecha pilot :P They've got to be, what, 15? 12?

    Minor Prophecy questions...

    Maniac has always been a reasonably 'deep' character (well, perhaps not in WC1, but he gets deeper as he goes along). There is a lot hidden behind the brash, boastfull exterior. I don't feel that Maniac's character changes enormously in Prophecy - you just get to see a bit more of it. In...

    Gunners who can shoot

    Yeah, I remember that sort of thing happening. Normally, they'd just scatter a certain amount of flak, which never seemed to hurt anything, however one or two seemed to really pack a punch. I always assumed that there were 'special' Dorkathi with some sort laser turret, but I don't know how...

    Minor Prophecy questions...

    Being the son of a famous parent isn't easy. Just ask any kid whose parent is a teacher at their school. Sometimes its easier to rebel (although the smart ones don't get caught doing it :p ).

    What's your (Call)Sign?

    Well, in WC1 I was Shadow. But then I hit WC2 and it seemed a bit awkward for some reason;) . Since then, I've been AzraeL. My sister was a big Smurfs fan, so it seemed appropriate. (It helps that Azrael is also the angel of death/retribution.)
