The number of sims out there with Dralthi look-alikes are too numerous to count. Freespace has its Ulysses, Tachyon has no fewer than 3 ships that look amazingly like a Dralthi, and what's with the ship on the StarLancer box. (although that one doesn't really count...)

I really like Tachyon. Unfortunatly 9 times out of ten (litteraly) it doesn't load in XP.

Perhaps you're thinking of the Dowager Empress of China. The one who sought to use a radical sect- the Boxers to rid China of foreign influence. The Boxers thought that by doing some martial arts move they would be impervious to bullets. Long story short this pretty much set the stage for the...

Yeah, Japan is an exellent example of violent images without a lot of murderes. But then hardly anybody over there has a gun, and the culture teaches responsibility for your actions, to the point of self destruction for the overall good. (Though this is less common now) Not to say that this...

Thank you all for your replies. I believe my question has been answered.

Yeah, I like that explanation too.

I was just wondering why the Flash pack went out of the arsenal after WCIV. I realize that they were black ops experemental weapons, but I would think that confed would keep something that could take out a superbase with ease in it's back pocket.

There are any number of ways to blow up a capship. Most of them could be delayed, if not prevented by more armor. Or big garage doors on the hanger.

As I recall battlecruisers didn't have a real good survival rate. Probably because they were consistantly put up against battleships that had even heavier guns. I think the HMS Hood serves as a good example of what happens when you trade armor for speed in a ship of the line. Some armor...

No, never. Cluster bombs are a different story... I'm a photographer with (somewhat ironicly) really thick glasses. I could never fly a fighter-bomber in real life, even if I wanted to. (Which I don't.) Sarcasm appreciated. I consider it a "welcome to the board".

I play FPS games and I don't own a gun. I play military flight sims and I've never droped napalm on families. I play WC but I do not beleive that my girlfriend's cats are going to kill me unless I get them first. Playing games, does not mean anything. Reality and fantasy are two seperate...

Yeah, nice gun. Too bad the gunners didn't know the difference between a Vampire and a Manta.

I don't see what's so different about scragging a fighter versus sniping some poor schlub who put on the wrong uniform in the morning. Or for that matter, topedoing a carrier full of people. As for gore- no problem, I can seperate fantasy and reality. On the thread topic, the best two...
