What means TCS?

[Quarto]

I most certainly do not think you're stupid, and I did not imply that you're comparing their stats. What I meant, is that they do not look similar. Granted, they both have a long hull and a pair of wings, but... er... that could be said about most fighters

. I hate to give the Epee credit for anything, but it looks far better than the Icarus ever could.

Sorry about your TV and VCR.
Why don't you buy a TV card for your computer instead? Of course, you won't have a VCR then, but it's a helluva lot cheaper than a new TV

.

 

[Bandit LOAF]

He could buy a VCR, too. VCR's are incredibly cheap... and they work with TV cards just like they do with TVs.

They do? Didn't know that.

 

[Bandit LOAF]

Yeah, I have my VCR plugged in to my computer right now... I'll use it to make nice mpegs of WCA episodes once I bring my tapes down from Merry-land (where I return on Thursday).

 

[Quarto]

Better quality? Excellent.

Wait... that means I'll 'ave to download them all again...

 

[Raider]

Well, that's another way to use a VCR.

 

[Bandit LOAF]

Well, they'll probably be several hundred megs apiece, so we'll have to see about figuring out a new way to distribute them...

And IIRC, it's an exactly the same way to use a VCR

 

[Earthworm]

The only ship in WC3 that is there is the frigate. Yes I know the TCS Eagle, but the game doesn't have escort carriers. Maybe they didn't have time to make one, maybe it shrouds itself in a deystroyer appearence, I don't know but there is no other reason for a frigate being there in place of the Coventry, Ajax, and Sheffield.

No, we're never shown the ship on which Paladin arives either in the game, or in a cutscene. We don't even know how a frigate looks like in WC3.

 

[Raider]

Well, just in case any of you are wondering, mine's hooked up to the TV.

 

[Death's Head]

IN wc3 it looks like a deystroyer.

 

[Earthworm]

No it doesen't.

The shuttle flies by a destroyer, which is one of Victory's escorts, but it doesen't launch from it.

 

[Death's Head]

The shuttle flies by a deystroyer? WTF??

Paladin's shuttle is just seen landing, it doesn't pass anything.

If you fly the extract a scientist mission, which I'm sure you have, you will indeed notice a deystoyer very far off that IDs as FRIGATE!

If the Frigate is one of the Victory's escorts, why the hell isn't it seen jumping with the other four ships??? Just because the Victory's group looks like a RIF team, doesn't mean it will have all the ships usually assigned.

 

[Earthworm]

The shuttle flies by a deystroyer? WTF??

It obviously does in your version of WC3

Paladin's shuttle is just seen landing, it doesn't pass anything.

Than how can you say that it launches from a frigate if it's not shown in the cutscene?

If you fly the extract a scientist mission, which I'm sure you have, you will indeed notice a deystoyer very far off that IDs as FRIGATE!

Earthworm drops on the flor and laughs.

And you know that that that frigate that brought Paladin, because?

RIF? WTF? That frigate that you mentioned, indeed could be there, but how the hell do you know that that's the TCS Eagle?

 

[Quarto]

And just what is the point of this argument? Neither of you seems to have any way to prove or disprove anything

.

 

[Earthworm]

Sure we do, or at least I do.

It's said in the novel that Paladin arrived on the TCS Eagle, which is an escort carrier. Either the Ranger class, the same class as the Tarawa, or some other ship.

In the game there isn't anything about what ship Paladin came on, and it isn't shown in the cutscene.

 

[Death's Head]

You've proved nothing to me I don't know.

As far as I'm concerned that frigate just isn't part of the Victory's fleet. If it was a scout, it probably wouldn't be next to the Victory or it would give away it's purpose. And it can't very well scout if it's sitting in the middle of the damned fleet.

RIF team=RECON IN FORCE

No it doesen't. The shuttle flies by a destroyer, which is one of Victory's escorts, but it doesen't launch from it.

When in the hell does Paladin's shuttle pass by a deystroyer?? I said it was frigate becuase it was not a deystroyer that was near the Victory during that mission, but a frigate.

The only reason I even brought up that ship was becuase it was conspicuously there while Paladin was. A shuttle is a ship that is usually attached to a mother ship. If you were a General, would you travel in just a shuttle? No! There are no other damned ships around but that frigate. I just flew that mission I think I know what I saw.

The Eagle isn't a frigate, I think that is fairly clear. And as I pointed out there is no GDed CVE in WC3, except for the novel. The ship he rode is on was most likely-not without a doubt the one IDed as a frigate. Like I said, they could have substituted the frigate for the damned CVE. Or they could have put it there for you to not notice.

This conversation ends now you can argue with yourself if you like.

LOL!

So because it isn't a part of the Victory battle group, than it has to be the ship that brough Paladin?

Did you just make that up, or is that ever used in WC?

It doesen't.

I just played along with you. You said that we can see a frigate, of course you didn't bother saying that it wasn't in the game, so I assumed you were talking about the cutscene.

The only reason I even brought up that ship was becuase it was conspicuously there while Paladin was. A shuttle is a ship that is usually attached to a mother ship. If you were a General, would you travel in just a shuttle? No![?QUOTE]

He he, why not? A shuttle is a jump capable ship, meaning it doesen't need a mother ship if you're just going to make one or two jumps. And Paladin is in SO, he's used to lesser customs than those found on a shuttle.

There are no other damned ships around but that frigate. I just flew that mission I think I know what I saw.

So what? Screw the frigate. Unless it has a big sign on it that says "TCS Eagle: General Taggarts personal ship" there's no proof that it's the Eagle. Would you be kind enough to send me a savegame of that mission so I can play through it and see?

The Eagle isn't a frigate, I think that is fairly clear. And as I pointed out there is no GDed CVE in WC3, except for the novel.

Yes, but you keep saying that in the game it is shown as a frigate, which is false.

The ship he rode is on was most likely-not without a doubt the one IDed as a frigate.

Why? What evidence do you have that it is?

This conversation ends now you can argue with yourself if you like.

Which again shows you can't keep arguing because ther's no evidence to support what you're saying. *************

 

[Quarto]

No, I'm fairly sure he's just tired of arguing with you. And I'd like to know what those ******** mean.

Anyway, books aside, what makes you two think that Paladin needs a ship to arrive in? The whole point of a shuttle is to carry people from one place to another really quickly. Blair and Maniac took a shuttle to Sol; Blair also took one from Sol to the Victory; certainly, he did not require a ship of any kind to transport the shuttle into Orsini

He he, his tired of arguing with me? Why, because he doesen't have anything that could convince anyone.

And if you real want to know what ************* stands for, it doesen't stand for anything.

Who says something about Paladin needing a ship? He arrived on a ship, which is the point of our little argument. Of course he could have taken a fighter to the Victory if he wanted to.

 

[Death's Head]

Recon in Force?? LOL oh sure I pulled that one out of polluted air, uh not!

Uh what in the hell do you know about why I post or why I chose to refrane-something some people just can't do?? Earthworm, do you have anything that can convince anyone of, uh something.

And if you real want to know what ************* stands for, it doesen't stand for anything.

Why did you post it other than to get attention? Notice I used than and not then. Than is used in comparison contrast. Then is used as a filler word or used in sequencial events. I grow weary of seeing than used so liberally.

A shuttle is a ship, as good as any but as you insist he came on the Eagle, which is a capship, I tried to reaffirm your point by stating the existance of a new ship, the frigate, but that somehow seems to have taken a shot at your ego and for my assistance I got a kick in the ass.

As I am somewhat attemping to decipher your logic, this is a new conversation.
