resident evil movie Let's just hope they will do a good job. I fear that they will soften the whole movie in order to get a FSK 16 version, which means that people aged 16 and older can watch it in the cinemas. There's another problem here in Germany the BPS. They are more often than not...

ship types Thank you for clarification. Sigh, it has been a long time since playing. Thankfully I have gotten my hands on a Kilrathi Saga and I can hardly wait to get it.

emperor the oldest? What about the emperor's mother the dowager queen of kilrah. I think she still lived when the confeds destroyed this temple (milk run / end run). I don't think it requires a lot of mathematical or biological knowledge to come to the conclusion that she has been a little...

kilrathi = primitive ?! I think you make a big mistake here. Actually one that Thrakkath often made. Your underestimating your enemy. It is said in the novels that the Kilathi culture is far older than ours. And I think they have their own way to describe "civilization". Some could describe...

ship Hm, the concordia should have two launch bays IIRC. I don't exactly remember the design of captains Eisen's ship the TCS Intrepid but in my memory (which lapses from time to time) it looks more like that.

ebay Always ask when you want to have something special. Especially when PC games are involved. Try to talk to the guy telling him that this is not what you wanted. Feedback may be a strong point but be careful it works both ways (very democratic). Na ja Kopf hoch...lol.

directions Nice question. I suppose there already had been a direction sense. I mean think of the almost perfect base lines of the pyramids. On the other hand, if there was no direction it would easily account of all the famous people wandering around the world and exploring. Then they would...

warrant officers That's a great deal of useful information here. I didn't know that. Okay WOs are officers. Thanks for the information.

heinlein As a german I have to live with our country's past and from secondary school onwards the topic get's discussed, analyzed and so on and so on. Fascism doesn't emanate from the Nazis though but from the Romans. It was the symbol of the judges. "Fasces" is a lot of wheat around an axe...

wc games and ranks The script girl/guy in WCIII and higher had a damn tough job to do. Well, there are "little" inconsistencies in the games and novels regarding ranks. We just have to live with this little mistakes. Reference: "The Harcourt Incidence"...lol --> See the Milk Run thread !

fighters and capships I loked the original designs from WCI and WCII best. I'll never forget the moment when i shot my first dralthi down, or my first capship a ralari...sigh... I also think that after WCII everything got a little darker and more depressive indicated also by the look of the...

downgraded I think the army captain would be called Major, cause you cannot "demote" him, same is true as stated for the naval captain. Nice anecdote in a higly controversial but great novel: Heinleins "Starship Troopers". The army would never have a problem with that kind of...

software controls in europe the age indicator on the box is an action performed by the distributor of the software (at least in germany). It's done freely and no obligation is connected with that. If a game is on the Index of the "Bundesprüfstelle für jugendgefährdente Schriften" than you...

ranks, ranks, ranks I hope you find something. I just reread the whole Milk Run Part but I couldn't find a clear answer to the subject. Once it is said that he is a mere captain indicating Space Force on another occasion it is said that normally Lieutenants would have that job (if Harcourt is a...

harcourt a man and a mystery...lol Yeah, I'd also believe that Harcourt is just called Captain cause he's the skipper of the ship. It would be most fiiting if he would be a Lieutenant, although the book says otherwise. Well, great book anyway.
