Perhaps he was refering to the US copying British steam catapults, as opposed to Hydraulic ones.

It's possible that in the time between WC4 and Prophecy Confed may have built another Fleet Carrier class other than the Vesuvius. If this were the case, I'd go out on a limb, and say that it wouldn't be as big, but still large enough to carry all the newer heavy fighter/bomber classes. The...

Landreich. They have the best beer. I also love the story with Kruger, he steals a Confed destroyer, saves a few systems, and the next time Confed gets to deal with him they can't do jack cuz he's Landreich's president. And, confed still doesn't get their destroyer back. I love happy...

CSS may have sounded a little too much like somehting from the American Civil War. Confederate States Ship or something. CSS Hunley for example.

Union of Border Worlds. Let those inferiors run. We'll hunt them down. Traitors can't hide.

Ok, valid point, but it is a heck of a lot easier to dive bomb than it is to make a torpedo run, hugging the waves, going slow, and getting bracketed by triple-A. Yes, a torpedo run can deliver greater results, but getting a good, well aimed shot of could be tricky. The best method for...

They did that because blue painted ships don't photograph well against a "Blue Screen." Also, the A-wing was originally supposed to be blue, but was changed for the same reason.

That's why the Eight Air Force used Spitfires for a while.:rolleyes:

Or those Freespace guys. (Well how are we going to blow up 80 really big ships? I know...)

At this time the US and Japanese had about even aircraft. The Japanese Zero had long range, was faster than the American Wildcat and could climb and turn better. The F4F Wilcat used by the US Navy and Marines at Midway was slower, but had better armaments, self sealing fuel tanks, and could...

Thank you for the corrections. But at least I got the gist of it. Hmmm.... I guess the light carriers were providing fighter cover for Yammamoto's group. But he'd learn about having effective figter cover soon enough. :D

I thought the Saratoga was also at Midway. Also, the Japanese had several light carriers along which also got mauled. The fleet carriers what were sunk were the Hiru, Soru, Kaga and Akagi. Another Midway- Battle of Terra parallel, the Broadswords going in like the Light Brigade made me tink...

It wasn't a carrier. It was a scout ship. It just happenedt to have a landing bay. It seems they used the WC3 Dreadnought aesthetic for most of the Kilrathi ships in the show. Including the transport Maniac destroys at the begining of invisible enemy. Additionally the show did not hit...

Maybe the guy looked at a Kilrathi grenade or something. People do lose part of their eyesight as a result of injury, on occasion. As for mental standards...the pot calling the kettle black.

Eu is to SW as Technobabble is to Trek. You can use it to explain anything.

Terminus. It had it's faults (many) but it was full-Newtonian. And it was HARD. But oh so rewarding. It was a completely different style of dogfighting and flying in general.

Why bother? He seems to be doing a perfectly good job of taking over from within. Heck, he's already chancellor, it's a short walk from that to setting a fire in the senate building and blaming it on some mentally retarded communist. Oops, there goes Ep3.

I never bothered to see the re-release. I'm a baaaaaaaaad fan.:rolleyes:

Anything involving Prophecy is somewhat of a disapointment.

X-BTF blew. Plain and simple. Lucky I got it on a bargain rack or I'd be really ticked. But then, the fact that it was on the bargain rack in the first place should have told me something...:rolleyes:
