    Well, it started turning into a troll-flame-apeshit-whathaveyou war, and TC usually kills those, but I guess he didn't object (as I believe few of us have) to LOAF putting Tach in his place. I'm trying to be diplomatic here; I seem to have a knack for getting TC PO'ed, which I am trying to...

    Random WC related notes, from the desk of Firebird

    You see, the Firrekans are harboring the mice; fellow prey have to stick together, you know. And the mice have been secretly breeding a new generation of "normal" Uber-flees (non-Neph), which they plan to use in conjunction with the Firrekan's new HR (Hair-Replacement)-modified Temblor bomb...

    Huh, a different Privateer "Two" (II as opposed to 2). I take it that this took place in the original (c. late 2600) WC universe as opposed to the Darkening WC universe (c. late 2700)...?

    Favorite fighter, Favorite bomber

    Yeah, but the gameplay balance remained (well...sorta). I mean, even though the fighters had, like, 5 cm of armor (at most), they were alot harder to kill than a comparable WC1/2/3/etc. fighter with comparable armor thicknesses. It still took several volleys to bring down light fighters, like...

    Favorite fighter, Favorite bomber

    Confused One thing that always confused me about Armada was that all of the ships were so much lighter than in all of the other games; I seem to remember the Arrow coming in at somewhereabouts 2 tons, and the biggest figher/bomber in the game under 10 tons. If I remember correctly, the...

    Best WC music

    Mech2, Mech2:GBL, and Mercs all had kick-ass music. :D You guys _DO_ know you can play 'em in your CD player, right? (Mech cd's, that is) Just skip track 1, and don't say I didn't warn you...

    Oh great, while LOAF's posting pictures of what's-her-name and fish, now Mekt's gonna put up pics of Hobbes-ette. :D

    Ooh...Pweety Space Ship!

    It's a coincidence. Same name, different plane. Either that, or a really bad rendering. :)

    Best WC music

    I loved that track! I think that in the WCM, when the fighters are scrambling for the first time, the music is sort of reminiscent of the WC1 launch music. I also like the WC1 and WC2 battle music.

    What's the deal w/ Hobbes being female?

    What is the best ship in P2

    _I_ liked the way the Mass Ion sounded when you fired it; but then again, the *thumpthumpthump* sound is hard to hear if you don't have a subwoofer. Besides, it feels cool when it looks like you're shooting those ultra-strong CIS turret blasts :) Alright, alright, I'll drop it...;)

    Here we go, page 8 of Freedom Flight, 2nd to last paragraph: "He walked through the winding streets, stepping over an unconcious Kilra'hra that was thoroughly intoxicated on arakh leaves..." I think they're legal, or at least not demonstrably illegal. I think that Prince Thrakath was also...

    What is the best ship in P2

    I did some tests on range of guns on my old Pentium 120 before I got my 366 and Priv2 ran too fast: Stream Laser Mk I: 260m Volt Laser: 150m Flux Beam Mk I: 320m Flux Beam Mk II: 350m Stream Laser Mk II: 280m Mass Ion Cannon: 170m Although the small 20m advantage the Mass Ion...

    Crazy stuff in SO1

    I've gotta give the SNES version of WC1 one thing, and that's the music. The music is a whole lot better than the PC version, IMO, especially the dogfight music; it sounds like tribal drums and steel drums, which sounds pretty weird when you read it, but it sounds (in the game) really cool...

    Wouldn't it be funny if...

    I hate to take LOAF's job, but... The Kilrathi already have a catnip-type substance, as mentioned in Freedom Flight when Hobbes sees the Kilrathi equivalent of a reefer on the street.

    What is the best ship in P2

    Well, at least they're better than Volt Lasers! God, those things had the range of Neutron Guns, but were really weak. Plus their refire sucked.

    What is the best ship in P2

    Sorry mpanty. :) I still prefer my Drakkar, though, Silent Warrior. 2 Mass Ions and 2 Flux Beam Mk2's.

    What do we really want?

    Yeah, I had a similar problem with my Logitech Wingman Extreme joystick; in WC3 (original, not KS), it jumps all over the place but still functions in the game, but it's calibration is all off for P2. I'm looking into getting an old Gravis 4-button stick just for those 2 games, 'cause the...
