Ferret has nearly double the armor of an Epee, and is about 20KPS faster so it was more forgiving in a dogfight if you took a hit. Epee has stronger guns with the Particle Cannons and carries a Pair of Darts and Javelins by default which allowed you to hit a target further out. Epee also...

He wasn't a fan per say but he was familiar with them.

"Star Rider" was a nickname that my Uncle called me as a child. It stuck since then and became my default Wing Commander and Star Citizen Callsign.

As a golden ticket member, I've been following the game since it was first announced. The Alpha has come a long way since the days of 2015 when Port Olisar was our only port of call, and we were being sent on DB recovery missions by Tessa Banister. I do miss those missions by the way as they...

Stormed at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well Into the jaws of death, Into the mouth of Hell rode the 600.

The Stiletto's armor is paper thin. It only takes one or two Particle Cannon hit's from a Talon to lose your shields and a good chunk of armor. It has a rather large silhouette making it easier to hit then the Ferret or Epee.

Happy to hear that it's just a case of the Mod being on pause. I was just thinking about it the other day while I was playing the Homeworld 2 campaign.

I don't see why it wouldn't all you would need to do is tweak the target code and you could probably do that with a sample of the target groups DNA. Once you have the parameters set it would probably just be a case of pushing the target specifications to the Nanites in the canisters. If I...

Pre being caught Tolwyn Mindset: I see two possibilities... One he uses the Gen Select Bio weapon on their colony worlds and those that meet the requirements would fall into the strong category. Two he encourages their colony worlds to rebel via the random acts of piracy and terrorism so that...

Artemis is the Greek Goddess of the Hunt... Like any great hunter She knows to wait for a clean shot. To quote the First Codex: "Vigilance is the Warrior's salvation; inattention the Warrior's greatest foe."

Naval Tradition is that the Officer in command of the ship is referred to as Captain, regardless if they hold the rank of Captain or not... Ramona is in charge of the mission once they reach the mission's Area of Operation. Harcourt still has command of the ship, and the final word onboard his...

Recently I've been doing a replay of Wing Commander IIIl, and made it to Caliban Missions. The following is my After action report. This mission was completed using Ace Difficulty with no cheats. For Caliban Mission II, I took the Longbow out for this due to the large number of Cap ships at the...

That is very well done. Now if we can just get build instructions... Not all of us are Master Builders after all.

I believe the issue in game was that if you choose to go after Hobbes, It would cause The Victory to have to delay the attack on the Alcor 5 prison, and opens them up to a Kilrathi counter strike. If I were to theorize... The Victory certainly took some losses during the events in Loki . On top...
