why was the Arrow's speed lowered after Armada?
- Thread starter Diablo
- Start date
The Devastator's heavy plasma is new tech and should do more damage than the fusion cannon. Otherwise the Dev would have the fusion not the plasma.
Ahh Flash's a major/lieutenant (can't remember which?
) and Blair's a colonel. Do the math

212 Squadron - "The Old Man's Eyes And Ears"
Major Dillon could give orders to most of the people on the Victory. He was a major. I'm sure Flint was a Lt, Vagabond and Vaquero were too.
The "Do Not Take Orders From" was telling Captains and under not to take orders from because he's a vapid idiot.

Flash was, not test pilots in general. IT's made very clear in the novel that he was handed the test job due to his father's influence (IIRC) so he would be out of harm's way. And considering his reluctance to participate in the scramble mission in the game....
You get the idea. He's a pansy.

I meant, it should be standard equipment, not necessarily cheaper. The F-22 costs more than the F-15 it is designed to replace, but it's still going to become the standard USAF fighter in a few years.Originally posted by Shooter

For the time, being brand new, perhaps. But after a couple of years, it should be standard.
And how much confidence do you have in the claim of a dolt like Flash...?
I'm not sure about that... How can you lower the price of a F-22 Raptor? Even if you build 2000 it will still be "pricey", to say the least.

If Flash's a coward why is he even in the military at all? Secondly if there is no way for him to avoid military service then why test piloting? Testing new experimental craft can be more dangerous than front line work.

I didn't say he was a coward; I said he was a pansy. He tries to find the easy way out of things, and whines about it when things don't go just the way he wants.
Also, testing CAN be dangerous. Fighting on the front lines IS dangerous. Significant difference.

Wha...??? If Flash is good in the game, then the other pilots are absolutely legendary.
Flash sucks.
