All wars really....:) That's the way it had to be for him to be an effective spy. If his true personality was there the whole time there was a damn good chance he would have slipped up somewhere and Confed would have detected him. Thrakhath didn't want a rank-and-file Confederation pilot on...

Proportional Representation does sound good, but in many cases it leads to too many political parties (in some cases up to 20) which often causes political instability and a collapse in the ruling government. Also it leads to way too many fringe groups entering the actual governing institution...

Then he is clearly unfit to lead, and the time is right for you to seize power! ^_^

Personally I think a strong third party would be great in the US political climate. You need at least two parties to have even a halfway decent government. One party to govern and one party as the opposition. They switch off every election or so because the governing party will inevitably make...

You can't be a traitor (in the basic sense) when you're following orders from your faction's leader. Yeah, that was my attempt at humor. Apparently I failed like a Hornet against a Tiamat. The difference about the traitor in Red vs. Blue was that he was doing it for personal gain. The...

I was talking about the aspects in aggregate (not individually) being a metaphor for the Wing games up to that point. Also when deprived of the storyline almost all games come down to a bland "kill-everything-that's-shooting-at-you-until-they-either-stop-shooting-at-you-or-you-die." scenario...

...well Hobbes wasn't a "red shirt", so...

Personally I've always had more trouble with the bugs than with the Kats. WCP dose have aces, they're just not named (probably due to lack of intel about the bugs). Devil Ray's had ace variants (they were red ships IIRC) that IMO were hard to kill, they flight tactics were more varied and their...

Yeah. They built up Seether throughout the game, but when you finally get to fight him he's little more than an annoyance. At that point you have better things to do and destroy him without much thought or passion. It would have been great if Setteter was a hard fight to get though. If he was a...

True. The imagination of the audience can sometimes be more powerful than anything scripted. It all depends on what you read into it. I kind of like your explanation for Hobbes' silence. I guess the lack of certainty just keeps gnawing at me, but maybe that was the point. He said no one would...

Wow I've never noticed that (has been a long time since I was able to play WC3 [I only have the KS version and an XP box. So I gave up on trying to get it to work consistently]). In that light it adds a whole new dimension to the very low key, and otherwise "par-for-the-course" scene. I guess I...

Get you name in a Wing Commander manual, but as a space Nazi.... I guess that's what they call a, double-edged sword? Backhanded Honor? Ass Ramming Accolade?

These would have been really cool. I felt that the locker space seemed to be wasted in Prophecy. When Zero showed Casey his locker I thought it was supposed to be for in-game achievements like medals and promotions (ala WC1), but sadly it went unused.

I was disappointed by the WC movie, but strangely enough it had nothing to do with Freddie Prinze Jr or Matthew Lillard (I actually think they played their rolls well). The whole Pilgrim thing I thought was interesting, but never properly exploited (seems like it was thrown in as more of an...

Yeah that's probablly what I did, although I still think that the capture of the Crossbow fighter/bomber served the Kilrathi well. If the rebels on Ghorah Khar have them then it would be in the Empire's interest to know the ins and outs of the Crossbow, but I doubt an intact one would just fall...

When I played though SO1 (oh so many years ago) it struck me as a way for the devs to do 2 things: 1) Let the player fly the Crossbow though the expansion without needing to keep it on the roster for the next one (If the Kilrathi can examine it and compensate for its strengths and exploit its...

Wow, I hope you guys find a lot of good stuff. :D Maybe you'll hit the jackpot and get something really spectacular like an unreleased WC beta, or Source Code. :D :D Can't wait to hear about the findings.

Because you touch yourself.... j/k actually,

To be fair KALTOR is a pushover if you equip the "Sword of Unending Winter" and "Arctic Frost Shield."

Woah, oops sorry. :( Don't worry though I really didn't spoil that much (they allude to it within the first 15-30 min IIRC). Plus I thought most people would have seen the movie by now. Next time I'll use the spoiler tags that Death mentioned
