Oh my God, Fraix, you killed Trivia! (you bastard!!!) Either that, or everyone else is making like I am, and feverishly playing Priv2 to try and get to Christopher Walken so that he'll tell us who we really are. ;)

I always thought that flying a Razor would have been an interesting challenge. The thing's got a gun and missile loadout pretty much identicle to an Arrow, but it's shields and armor make it more like a Tie Fighter. Sorta like a WC4 Hornet..."A real artist's ship," as Iceman said... ;)

Yeah, I know, but it's a skillful use of the quote; like quoting Shakespeare in an electoral speech, logic argument, or exceptional chewing-out in order to emphasize the point. (alright, I'm not analogizing Hamill or Roberts to Shakespeare, you guys know what I mean...)

Speaking of annoying ships, has anyone come across any specific weaknesses of the Devil Ray (you know, the Ace fighters), or do you just have to outfly 'em or force-feed 'em a missile or Devastator's Plasma blast?

Thanx, Duke. Interesting stuff! :D

Badgerbadgerbadgerbadgerbadger--mushroom, MUSHROOM! ...oops... Sorry, duke, let's try and steer 'er back on course, then! :p Someone already did; that WC4.1243....(whatever those numbers are after it); it's a WC4 parody, but also ties in some WC3 just for kicks. It's probably on Wedge's...

Ed, I do believe that you're certifiable...

LOL...that's gotta be one of the most random--and entertaining (in that random internet kind of way)--Flash animations... Reminds me of this thread: http://www.crius.net/zone/showthread.php?p=216542#post216542

insane all we Are?

Touche! :p

I didn't catch the PopSci article, but I'm familiar with the concept as proposed by Clark. Wouldn't the strength of the 'cable' (i.e., vs. micrometeorites, atmospheric turbulence, etc.) be a major breaking point? (no pun intended)

My ill-tempered sea bass with "lasers" on their heads can beat up your badgers!

Gonna be starting at the University of South Carolina this fall, majoring in Mechanical Engineering.

Not those kind of glory moments!!!

What about you pros? LOAF? psyche? Tye? Any good stories?

I remember once in Privateer 1, I had made 6 of my 7 nav points on a full-system patrol of the Troy system. My Tarsus was doing fine until I hit the 7th NAV, when I ran into 3 pirate Talons with the heavy mass driver-and-particle loadout. I'd gotten my targeting, shields, lasers, and...

Yeah--that, and "Welcome to your d00m*!" *(editor's note: l33tsp34k added to this quote from Sega's Altered Beast. Altered Beast is a registered product of Sega of America. l33tsp34k sold separately.)

Welcome back, Maniac II! I, too was gone for so long that I ended up having to get a new account...my poor 3-year old Captain's rank.... :rolleyes:

Well, you could always figure that the Banshee was just an older Confed craft (after all, a *very* different Banshee appeared in Armada) that the Border Worlds got ahold of and modified enough until they came up with a satisfying general configuration--hence the super-heavy Confed Banshee in...

I guess I'll go ahead and throw my 2 cents in... 1. Ferret 2. Raptor 3. Piranha/Hornet (tie) 4. Sabre 5. Orion (Priv1) And as far as the whole Hellcat/F-16 argument goes, the fact is that every military in the world has one or two baseline aircraft, and relatively few...
