Yeah, that's come to mind a couple of times. Obviously it's an empty threat, but one that Blair probably thought he could use while still showing his anger.

Come to think about it, that must have been some talk Blair had with the CAG. Considering that "She's a hard as they come", that's a pretty heavy brush-off in being "...ready to chalk it up to severe anxiety and stress".

And the funniest thing to me when the Drakhai kept telling me that I couldn't defeat them, they're rollin' and tumblin' anywhere between two and ten seconds later after being in my gunsights before the inevitable explosion marked their respective ends.

Dude, I've heard firsthand a Hornet firing up for a cat shot. That would suck a little too hard if it were THAT loud, not to mention killing glass out of your windows. I know, I know, it's an expression. Fun to pick at, though. :D

Wow...already a decade??? *sits and thinks about time flying and all that*

Which reminds me of these little numbers:

No, I don't think he did. Or at least, neither the box nor the multi-CD jewel case bear the moniker "A Chris Roberts Game" on them.

"Are you making another WC game?" Then keep asking the question until he finally says Yes and puts it into production. :D No, I think I'd ask him about why he did the traitor-type storylines so much. In the beginning, we had Jazz (which DID surprise me right off when Angel put it together...

Then I say we email the hell out of EA until they relent to the power of the CIC masses! :D

Y'know, I like that sentiment, the retelling. I'd not thought about it that way before. I'll have to grab the movie again at some point and watch it. I've only ever seen it once and, truth be told, wasn't impressed with it...then again, it's been a good number of years. I'm older and...

Just from the layman that I am on things like this, it sounds like you're the victim of a simple drive failure. I had to replace one of my CD-ROM drives not three days ago simply because it wouldn't recognize CDs in the drive anymore when the day before it was working perfectly. Others who are...

Nice! What's made me chuckle is how the rear gun pod of the Longbow seems to resemble a bubbled-out TIE Fighter cockpit windscreen.

I really hate my memory sometimes, because someone's going to pull her callsign out and make me go, "Yeah, that's it!" and I'll therefore feel stupid for a week... I think the thing that hit me the hardest was realizing you absolutely can't save your Caernarvon wingman in WC2 while trying to...

This was a tough one, because I liked the WC2 wing and the Prophecy wing about the same. The Wasp was the one that did it for me, though...you absolutely cannot go wrong with the Swarmer packs, and that booster engine is fantastic for long-range intercepts. Great maneuverability, guns that...

Ooooh, I know...they're pretty much the "rain or shine" doctrine that way, too. When we first sortied back in '93, we had to leave about a week early to get out of port when that "Storm of the Century" was churning its way over here. It was the first (and last) time I've ever felt a carrier...

Ah, yes yes, you're right...the Marine LCs went up there. Probably getting near time where I have to pull ER out again. :) Even today, the Nimitz-class carriers don't have room for every single aircraft in the hangar deck...or at least they didn't when I sailed on the Theodore Roosevelt...

I haven't read FC, but in ER, the main lady of that story was, obviously, Tarawa. If I remember my book correctly, being an escort carrier converted from a transport hull, the racks above were there to save space for launches and landings, otherwise that was a hugely cramped hangar. And...

Since I somehow screwed up the quote box AND I'm HTML-stupid... "It may happen, but it isn't *permitted* - the Geneva Convention (which also applies to the Confederation, per the Wing Commander IV novelization) says that a trial is one of the basic rights afforded anyone involved in a...

Yeah, Confed's never been one to suffer defeat easily, especially to lose a good pilot for no sensical reason, but to shoot an officer dead like Angel was about to do would have landed her in the brig with her own firing squad sentence a certain and undeniable guarantee. Murder's still murder...

Just some short stuff here... Looking in the original ST Technical Manual, they refer to the class as the Constitution Class, though there is also in the same lines, "Class I Heavy Cruiser". As ship name and naval tradition dictate, however, Constitution Class would be the class name, as...
