Concussive blast from some nearby large explosion, being too near the edge of too strong a gravity well, etc. It wouldn't be common place, sure, but wouldn't be too unlikely either. :)

Sucks ass that they killed him though (although the possibility remains he's just on the bug side of that worm hole - would like to see that. Characters like him and Kirk should never be killed). Sucks even more so that the series died after that. That was one of the best games ever made and...

18m seems to make sense for a heavy space fighter that has to have a huge power source, loads of fuel, massive amounts of equipment (sensors, comms, life support, targeting, etc), a shield generator, so on and so forth. The F-15 dwarfs most any prop fighter ever built, but the interior...

Hi guys. Bumping an old thread again. Sorry. :) I played WC1 and 2 in KS without issue, got to 3 and had no issue until after I talked to Vaquero for the first time. Then it locked, and had been unplayable ever since. Then I discovered and applied the Win2K patch, but still no luck. I...

Plenty of tolerance for assholes apparently though. Otherwise you'd have a hard time living with yourself. Mmhmm. He was brought up as a reference of an original author making changes to his own material. Your reference is irrelevant as he wasn't the original author of Alien. Nor was his...

Woah! WTH? You guys come on quick with the attitude around here. "did I even bother reading". Feck off with that 'tude dude. His script for Alien3 has nothing to do with anything. I'd take anything he would do over what that movie wound up being. And my point about JM, since you...

Thanks for the heads up on VMDSound. That might fix a lot of things for me. I haven't tried this DOSBox thingy yet, but, running XP Pro, my copy of Kilrathi Saga's WC2 just isn't right. The fights are too slow and the cutscenes are a hair too fast. I asked about a fix but haven't gotten a...

Sierra doesn't seem to be the type of company to develop a game that sucks for a year only to cancel it. They claimed (IIRC) that the market for space sims dried up so they cut their losses. Around the time that it happened the people who were working on it were upset and were trying to find a...

The rendered animations (cut scenes and what not) all play too fast (way too fast) and the in flight portion of the game is actually a bit too slow. Has anyone encountered this before? Any known fix? I'm running on XP Pro and just installed WC2 (from KS). I tried using Win98 Compatibility...

This sounds like a case of poor player/GM interaction, and the GM not standing his ground. It's very easy to restrict players in any game or setting, even PFRPG. Although, maybe power gamers make the best GMs in that respect because they know all the rules so well that the players can't out...

heh heh. I'm not even sure what he was on about there, but, I think this is a matter of opinion. ;) I kinda got the impression that Ugly(sorry, easier to spell) and Viper had a copy of instruction manuals written by torquemada they were gettin' ready to dust off for me. lol Hmm. I could...

Rifts Longest running game for us, most fun characters, total freedom, and it's all encompassing from high tech to "magic level" tech to magic, and limitless possiblities to explore. If by table top you mean dice and pen and paper, then that. If you mean miniatures....BattleTech is awesome...

Found my answer here - http://www.crius.net/zone/showthread.php?t=8350 :cool:

Isn't every side of a space craft the starboard side? :D :p j/k lol

Some of "my" official sources. :rolleyes: Nice. Seems some of you guys think alike. lol Ok, so I see that anything with the WC name is considered to be unquestionable holy writ of the WC universe and fiction around here, and that this is a situation which is enjoyed. Whatever. I'm just...

I see where this is going. :rolleyes: Look, it's not a case of me disagreeing and assuming that things are only the way I want them to be. There's more to what I remember from that guide than what you pointed out, but, that is part of it. Ok, so it included some of what happened in the...

I thought he had said something like "one near miss with a missle and the overpressure from the explosion will take you out". Unless I'm thinking about a different instance. Well, like I said, even situations where the "official" person or people are directly involved in a new telling of a...

I don't follow you on "ret-con mid-fifties". Sorry. Still a n00b. :) It's accepted that rate of technological advance is accelerating. There is no predicted end to this. For a war taking decades and then some, it's not surprising to see new ships each time (aside from the realities of...

Must not be what? I was just pointing out that, regardless of reason, 2 things are present, a lack of logic for the selection of craft and story components, and a disclaimer stating that it's not WC, but merely based on it. Ok......and? Nothing says that he didn't do as I suggested...

What would I be searching for? And why? Also, it's borderline, but, I'd say it qualifies as an animated series, not a cartoon. ;)
