Shocked by the news. I also didn't meet Klavs personally, but he was such a central part of this community. Very very sad to see him go.
Is it known what happened? Accident? Health reasons. Much to early in any case. All the best to his family.
Ferret a a nice little ship as long as you don't throw it into a huge fight. Epee is scrap except its one torpedo. Its really pretty much a downgrade. But then I am that guy that would take the Hornet over the centaurian mud pig every day... ;-)
I think you could actually reason for that one. In a way the Kilrathi are modelled to a Samurai honor codex. Here the humans could indeed have lost their honor by doing indiscriminate bombing. But yes, also such a thing should have been foreshadowed.
Dang. I thought it was the real thing.
From the shape I'd say its fairly clear that the bottom half should be folded around the top one. So you'll end up with a half circle (in 5 sections) with a roof. Also the windshield and the roof are probably open.
Now depending on the size I could...
Found a Blair on E-Bay. Talked a bit with the trader because shipping was insane (E-Bay forward crap of 30+ Euro for a letter) and when talking I found out he also had an unlisted Tolwyn.
Thats cool. Wished I ever found one myself. Not sure it was ever released in 'Europe' however, so your E-Bay tip probably won't work. What WC4 had the card in it?
Wouldn't it be significantly easier to make a patch for WC1 that removes the cockpits (no toggling possible). One would "just" have to replace the cockpit files with ones that only have a transparency layer full screen. Not into WC modding at all, but I guess this should be pretty straight...
