Wow, so that freighter was carrying laws and rules? Was it massive volumes of lawbooks, or just a bunch of lawyers when they carried ordinance? Because the proper spelling is ordnance.

NOPE. FUCK That. Taking a good, classic novel and perverting into that movie; it does not deserve to be watched.

Need to see a full WC style intro. The orchestra can do the opening strains, the "in the distant future" replaced by the Star Trek "Space, the final frontier", the enterprise spiraling after some warbirds or battlecruisers, and the music and credits over the asteroids...

There wasn't a single politician at the Japanese surrender; Fleet Admiral Nimitz was the highest ranking person to sign it- equal to Tolwyn.

He's been confirmed as real. Godspeed, Ghost, and good hunting! GLORY TO UKRAINE!!

A challenge coin must have the rank of the commander issuing it. That's the challenge part: If you throw down a CC in a bar, everyone has to produce a coin. If they can't, they buy the round. If everyone has a coin, then the lowest rank shown buys. I'd replace the "vega campaign" with the rank...

So, it'll be out at 3 Pm Eastern, 2 Pm Central? Zulu time is GMT time, not local. 182000LJUN2018 is the proper DTG for a local release. 182000ZJUN2018 denotes GMT and is used for synchronizing global operations.

"A pythagorean victory" Was it an acute victory or an obtuse one? Or did you mean a Pyrrhic Victory?

Between the shape and the colors, it reminds me of a tin spaceship toy I had growing up.

You mean, like the US Marine Corps? Subordinate to the Navy, own rank structure, flies aircraft, goes to the same Academy, and even flies off of carriers- every Carrier Air Wing has a Marine Squadron attached. There's precedent in history for separate force in Wing Commander.

That would definitely sound like a connection; the Lexington fights it's way through a back channel jumppath, destroying the one carrier that could stop it, then unloads Angel's SO team to build the asteroid bases. WCII shows that a shutdown carrier can hide in an asteroid belt, at least for a...

Regarding the Lexington; who is to say that it destroyed Kilrah? Blair needed some 'pitstop' depots to land at on his flight in. Someone had to haul all those materials in and build them- why not the Lexington? It's success would be after clearing the enemy carrier, and allowing it to complete...

They aren't using "Casey" as a callsign, just as his name. Soldiers often just call those of the same rank or lower by their last name, since that is the only name displayed on the uniform. (it isn't unusal to not know the first names of the Soldiers that you serve with)

Beware any thread started on the 1st of April..... Good prank.

Congratulations, that is quite an achievement.
