I think I understand the question posed; but I have to agree with Chris, here -- there isn't enough information on how phase shields work, and how torpedoes interact with them, that one CAN make an in-universe explanation of why one has to sit and make a tedious lock, and why you have to re-do...

Probably special effects differences; it's easier to have computer art of people getting vaporised. (No, it's not a useful in-game description, but it's been a LONG while since I've played SM2 and can remember the cut-scenes there.)

Why do I have a feeling I missed something in this thread?

I agree with Sycrusian -- it would make sense. (Also, it would make the distinctions among the clans more interesting, and it seems that the overall WC storyline is progressing in a direction where there ARE significant differences between the various clans, given that they're going to war with...

There's also the Iason, whose (alleged) destruction during the first encounter with the Kilrathi, might have made her a household name.

Oh, I LIKE this. I really like this.

There's intent -- and the games certainly gave strong suggestions to the intent. The books all but clubbed you over the head with the parallels. I will confess it has been perhaps six years or more since I read the book itself; it currently collects dust on my mantle. I remember the...

True, though the F6F Hellcat was barely two years following the Wildcat's development and deployment; one might expect more of a difference between Confed's fighters, which, one gathers, had somewhat longer a span between the two of them. Do we have much canonical development history on...

Hells, I can't even complete Episode 1 without having to re-fly missions a couple of times. This is not the challenge for me -- but I appreciate those who do take it up!

I would have to agree with the consensus. The art is beautiful. However, they could use a little more break from the designs they're based on. Possibly alternate engine arrangements, different tail setups?

...I have the distinct sense that what I am reading now is not everything that was posted. That being said, I kinda like the design, but it does not look precisely like an Excalibur -- but it has been a long, long time since I looked at an Excalibur for a long period. Front looks right, wings...

I have to confess I rather LIKED the Epee. For what it did, it did it well.

Lowborns? Your fur is matted with the scorn of your betters, whelp. You shall beg for mercy before my cannons.

Sure! I'll fly a Sartha. Where did I put the little furry ears...?

Hey, I'm more than happy to join in wherever and whenever asked... has anyone heard from Kavok lately?

I really need to lay hands on that thing; it seems to have been quite the repository of data (and plenty of retcons).

Out of curiosity, what's the source on that one?

The other interesting thing is that typically, the first ship of a class is named for the class, at least in the American style of ship-naming (the British RN does it differently at present, but they have Types, not classes). So presumably Concordia had a sister ship Confederation, if no...

Sadly, it was work for me, eating my souuuuul. But now that the perils of August are over, and September nearly so, we're starting towards the quieter time and I have my brain back. And now I shall finish the job my mass drivers have begun!

It really takes a little bit of acrobatics to bend it all into place; but I don't think the three of them were designed to seamlessly mesh, after all. It's only later that they were shoehorned in together... or so it seems to me.
