Yeah, and important places like Sol sector are also heavily patrolled probably. Places like outskirts between the unknown or other empires (like the kats, pre wc-3) probably had quite many Pirates and or raiders of some kind. Think how many pirates were in every quadrant of Gemini sector except...

You know, I've got priv 2, but it wont work on my Win98 system... any patches out there to make it the Windows version, like the thing they have for WC4?

Ugh, I remember the nightmares WC2 turrets gave, with their ultra-powerful rapidfire neutron turrets... It made a mostly harmless Grikath VERY powerful. I loved turreting with the Broadsword, because a few stray shots would down a fighter...

Funny, I thought it was buggy or something, but when I played my KS Copy of WC2, the duel with Jazz wasn't even funny. I don't think he even fired a shot, all I knew was he flew in circles until I killed him. Seriously, does he even fire back??!!

Yeah, they could have detected the destruction of Kilrah at long range years later from a craft in a system a few light-years away, and found out that it was not a natural phenomenon. They could have sent that first bug fleet to go check it out. I'd think that's a bit more plausable than the...

Well, Take a look at cartoony WC2 Hobbes. He's the same size as everyone else, wears the exact same size uniform, jumpsuit, etc... except he's got a tiger face. He's a guy in a furball suit I tell you!!:D

My favorite moment had... just HAD to be in SO2, where the Kats were throwing everything they had at ol' Doomsday amd Myself. I was in a $^&! dralthi, and see these 4 Hriss and several Gratha fly at me at high speed. I'd be dead, for I had about 5 seconds worth of Burners left, and so I fly...

Stargods... maybe remnants of the Steltek are the ones pulling the strings? Beat's me.

Hey, I'm a HUGE Sabre Fan! You just can't beat the 8 torpedo custom loadout. That's insane ;). The Sabre would be the equivilent of the WC2 uber-craft if it had more armor/shields. The current WC2 uber-craft is that insane Wraith. (Acad.) But yup, Panther is really fun to fly, etc... like people...

If you've played VOR, you'll know where this is from ;) Earth is sucked into a massive vortex into some other strange dimension in the fairly near future (say, 100 or 150 years.) Earth is then shattered as this dimensional shift destroys much of the ecosystem, and two countries fight with...

Hmm, what if you do encounter a truly animal/insectoid race as that supposed "higher power"? Not like the Nephs, but think more along the lines of 100% organic. As, a capship might hit another ship with long tendrils like on a squid, or devour destroyers, or literally puke corrosive fluids. That...

WC2 was pretty tough on quite a few missions. SO2 wasn't exactly a picnic either. The broadsword mission to get the datapod and take out a Ralatha was fairly hard, with your lone bomber vs 2 AMGs and 4 Sartha. That was one, also most of the Sabre missions were fairly tough because of that...

SO is good. The only gripe i had about it though was the exact same mission types as we've all come to love (eg, fly patrol, swat bugs, next nav, swat bugs, etc...) but if you're a real WC Fan, go full out for it. It's worth it in my opinion.

Haven't we heard this enough? I thought a thread of favorites died sometimes last week. Anyway... how DARE you not mention the Epee? Go epee. Raptor Epee!/Morninstar Tbolt Bearcat Black Vamp. Easy as that.

Hey, you never know. Maybe UBW gets a management change and goes into a huge Re-arming movement. Maybe Confed gets complacent after wiping out the Bugs 2 incursions and slowly dismantles their fleets in a few years?

Well, Secret Ops did have an almost anticlimactic Boring ending. Whoop-de-do, you go and capture the Accreation device. Nothing really special. I thought it was easier than many other missions. Well, it opens up room for a sequel. That's it. Personally, I like the ending where the bugs take...

What about war with the UBW? Tha'd be interesting.

Methinks he's talking about Cold Fusion, which is the safe kind supposedly, not the stuff we've been able to accomplish so far with super-heating lasers and all kinds of other interesting stuff.

Well, hey! Look at the WC movie. Sonar in space... :D And Catapults of some kind (probably magnetic accelerator) are needed for WCP era tube-launch ships. I don't think it's exactly safe to be flying down that incredibly narrow tube under your own power.

QUOTE]I can tell you one reason for the change in confed carriers. they were changed in order to protect the flight deck in case some Kilrathi pilot wanted to make a suicide run on the hangers. Uh, that was with Midway's Launch tubes, I thought.[
