No, that would be *illogical*. The Midway (or any carrier) is going to have a crew for every fighter/bomber she carries. Only 100 pilots? That means that there are 150 aircraft sitting in the hold doing jack except for taking up valuable space. Who in their right minds would do that...

I get the impression that the gate isn't something you just fly through. Otherwise, why do they have so many ships on the OTHER side? If my gate was under attack by enemy fighters, I would fly through a thousand fighters rather than the Tiamat. And yes, it would be fun to fly through the...

Not necessarily. If I was making a gateway to invade another part of the galaxy, I would actually go to great lengths to make sure that you COULD NOT get back, unless I specfically wanted you to. The last thing I want is my enemy using my own gateway against me. Besides, what we see is the...

Static means stationary, as opposed to Dynamic. Still, I guess you know this now :D

Agreed. The engine was on the whole very good, surpassed only by Prophecy's engine. Personally, I had 2 major gripes with FS (at least from the point of view of a WC fan). 1. Its lack of a personal interest. While it had a good storyline, there was nothing personal to draw you into...

Uh uh! The second best is the Centurion. The best is the Steltek Egg! Inpenetrable shields, 5 Steltek guns ... :p

Personally, I'd like to fly a Demon, simply 'cos they look good :)

Actually, they were seperated at both to hide them from their father, who had turned to the dark side of the ... no wait ...

Gotta say I always thought Lance was a girl :D

I still have an Empire Strikes Back Luke Skywalker. He actually disappeared for over 10 years, before resurfacing (literally), entwined in the roots of a rather large and healthy weed from our garden. The hair was a little faded, but otherwise he's fine. Good to know that plastic is made to...

Well, actually the Paradise Lost song, "Mercy" is from their album "One Second" (an excellent album in my opinion, although different from their earlier work ... and yes, I bought it after hearing the ones from the 'soundtrack' :) ). I would suspect that the album is another of those...

Definitely. I upgrade to the Centurion ASAP. Even the basic Centurion (Lev 1 Engine, Shields, Burners etc.) is better than a fully upgraded Tarsus. I can stick 4 lasers on and spend my money on fully upgrading everything else (well, except the rear turret maybe :) ) before I go for that...

Well, that all depends on your definition of 'effective'. In terms of Damage per Second, then yes, they are only the 5th highest (but still only 17% less than the most damaging). However, in terms of Damage per Kilojoule, they ARE the most effective (or perhaps efficient is a better term)...

You can calculate the damage potential of a weapon by simply dividing the damage per shot by the refire delay. In terms of damage rate, the ranking is as follows : Neutron : 10cm/s Tachyon : 9.5cm/s Plasma : 9.0cm/s Meson : 8.75cm/s Laser : 8.3cm/s Ionic Pulse : 7.8cm/s Particle ...

I believe a Squadron is comprised of several Flights ... or is that just the British? Flight Leader, or Wing Leader would probably be a more appropriate name for the game, since that is the role you usually fill.

Maybe it has something to do with which joystick and/or version you have. My Prophecy seems to work fine ... or maybe I'm just naturally dyslexic :) Some joysticks come with their own background software. Maybe you could reverse the direction there.

I think what really hurt about the betrayal, or rather, about the way it was presented, is that you are the ONLY one who supports Hobbes. One would think that after a dozen years of loyal service to Confed that at least some of them would believe in his loyalty. I mean, he's got more Kat...

Perhaps the best place to look for the importance of manouvring is the Falklands war. (Oh that's right, the americans weren't involved in that one :) ). The Harrier, despite being significantly slower then its opposition (mainly Mirages or similar I think), kicked ass because its thrust...

Hmmm. While I may have spent a good part of the movie looking at Angel's breast, I guess I just wasn't paying enough attention to her insignia :)

Well, the Intrepid was kinda out on her own. She had been badly damaged by Confed forces, so presumeably her escorts had been destroyed or disabled. The Versuvius was acting 'illegally' so she would have few, if any Black Lance escorts. Besides that, she has both an enormous fighter...
