A shark has teeth, a bat has fangs.

Holy crap! I thought I was the only person to have ever played Echelon! Great music for the ol' PC speaker, but I have a hell of a time slowing a 386 down enough to get it to play right. I agree, the Dragon looks and acts a lot like a Bird of Prey.

LOAF, I'm guessing that by vulnerable you mean parked and waiting for the doors to open, implying an attempt at landing. I fail to see the usefulness of landing during a firefight around your carrier for two reasons: 1) it's a better idea to ditch rather than risk a crash in a craft that...

If you rearrange Overmortal you get... lover to ram am over lot a loom vet ...and probably a few more but this game got lame pretty quick.

Yeah, I tried the negative tachyon pulse emission auto-calculator in photoshop, but it kept going into a feedback loop so I had to do a manual override before my computer reached critical mass...what the hell are we talking about?

One thing you would have to consider is whether or not the Kats could trace the virus to human origins. It looked like the Kat was being pretty well taken care of in captivity, so he probably wouldn't have suspected he was infected. Not that bio-warfare would have made that much of a...

I heard about a guy who build a MW MadCat in his backyard out of cardboard or something. Anyone here trying to make their very own Arrow or Dragon?

Of course, everyone forgets that WC follows physics about as well as SW and every other space sim out there. :) But anyway, spacecraft really shouldn't need a landing strip for carrier operations. If you've got decent tractor beams, all you'd need for a carrier is a big box with a bunch of...

Hey thanks for bringing the Space Viking up, I was feeling the same sense of disconnectedness from the rest of the series. Interesting that a slew of USA-grade cartoons would team up for such a strange undertaking.

Couldn't it be argued the first "flight" took place when people learned how to jump? Technically, it is a powered, but very short flight. But then this also brings up birds and such who own flight from evolution. If a guy stands on another guy's shoulders, and the bottom guy jumps, you've...

I was thinking a LOAL missle system would be nice for WC, expecially for torpedoes (I can't remember if we already talked about this). A scout could paint a target (using EM radiation, not like paint from a paintball gun) and the bombers could fire away at close range and still be able to...

What the hell are we even talking about armor on aerospace craft anyway. I thought the whole point of having stuff capable of flying was to avoid fire, not to see how much you can take. Compared to capships, tanks, Mechs and what have you, aerospace craft really haven't got any armor.

In WC:UE I can get 4 Salthi on the third mission with dumbfires head on and at long range. Just change course a few degrees and they don't shoot the DF when they range you.

pies

Hey, are there pies in Star Adventure 4010?

I was thinking along the lines that the slaves held an absolute knowledge advantage in some area with my example of agriculture. Exterminating a race you depend on for something you absolutely can't produce yourself, or something that is much to difficult to produce in large enough supply...

D&D, the vanguard of anal purity! WTF?

It looks like a majorly updated Bengal-class, but maybe that's an obvious duh... Victoria class, the way (we wish) we were... But a very nice design nonetheless.

The early WC and Priv asteroids were pretty retarded, they had a very popcorn-like look and feel to them. I like the later ones better, in the sense they could be navigated and used tactically, but the designers never made the fields dense enough. My personal favorites were the asteroids of...

I'm curious, did the Kilrathi ever have a concept of zero? Humans use base 10, i.e. 0-9, so if the Kilrathi use a base 8, would it be 0-7 or 1-8?
