Hells, by the time Langley sank, she was an aircraft transport -- she was carrying a bunch of P-40s that were being shipped out to a USAAF group.

I once saw a purported script for SO3 that included Sparks going Mandarin because she was outraged that Bluehair hooked up with Angel. I have no idea if this was real in any way, shape, or form.

That's the conventional wisdom, but hasn't there been some rather suggestive evidence that Stalin was surprised only so much as the Germans beat him to the punch -- and he was planning on breaking the Molotov-Von Ribbentrop Pact first?

Wing Commander 1, on DOS. Snuck onto my stepfather's computer to play it, and broke the computer... it took another full YEAR before I was able to play it again.

Is now a bad time to admit I liked some of what was done with the Star Wars special editions?

Fundamentally, yes, that is what I'm driving at. Clearly, I'm missing a great deal of the canon -- heavens know I'd never even heard of the Confederation Handbook before I started seeing it referenced here, for instance -- and so, a lot of it looks disjointed and perhaps contradictory...

Various threads here have led me to a simple conclusion. The canon contradicts itself. Pretty much damn near every chance it gets, it contradicts itself. The novels contradict chunks of the games; the cartoon contradicts bits of the movie; the movie contradicts damn near everything...

Pip --> Kavok Say goodnight, kitty.

I can only echo Kavok. Including calls for miniskirt clad cheerleaders. Though I'll take mine without fur and tails, thankyouverymuch. This is actually a lot of fun!

I am more than willing to be a guinea Pip! (I know, I meant to have feedback before...) I should be able to give 24 - 48 hr turnaround; I see my e-mail most every evening. ETA: Since Kavok wants to fly the Sarthas, I suppose it is upon me to defend the Honor of the Confederation Internal...

Finished Episode 3 (for the first time). I may be on the losing path. Lost the Verdun, failed to kill the Snakeir, but I saved Breslau and Sao Paulo, and brought home 3/5 of the minelayers. That's got to count for something, right?... right? :rolleyes: ...this rocks. It rocks hard. I'm...

Well, of course, the original Hornets were never meant to replace the Tomcat, but to replace the A-7 Corsair. It's only the newer model Superbugs that replaced the the venerable Tomcat. And, of course, the US Navy never was quite standardized, with different air wings having slightly...

Well, part of it might be explainable by the vast distances of the Confederation. If Confed has to rely on local factories, it's possible that they would be using locally-produced ships -- so the Ferret was built in one location, and used by local wings there, and the Arrow in another, and the...

Ah! I think I see it. In WC3's Victory Streak, the range for a Mass Driver is listed as 2000. Nothing in the Privateer manual gives RANGE, just velocity. Happily! I'll PM my e-mail address. Me too! (And I'd be happy to lend a hand to some of the work, depending on what you need. I...

That's a very SHORT path, sadly...

So MDCs should be Range 3, same as Neutron Guns? Oh, excellent. I shall just sit and be patient and work on sketching up a scenario pack or three! Perfectly understandable -- good luck!

Been looking this over, and I have a few questions. (1) I'd thought mass drivers outranged neutron guns, particularily during the WC1-2 era. (2) Is there a quick-n-easy conversion guide out there, for converting ships? I'm already craving adding ships from WC1 or Privateer; I've got some...

I'm still early in the game, but I have to ask: is there a capsule description of each mission up, so that we can look at the might-haves and the almost-weres, and such? Or is it just a matter of rolling up our sleeves and playing and playing? (Don't get me wrong, I'm enjoying it enough --...
