    Rachel creeps me out!

    Based only on their merits as a mechanic, I voted for pliers. The guy was awesome. Home made cloaks, extra missile hardpoints =)

    The Ultimate Fighter Review

    What the hell? In Prophecy Gold none of the stormfires have crosshairs, I have to fire a few shots to "zero" it in my head. Is there a patch or anything that will add crosshairs to this awesome weapon?

    The Iceman Maneuver?

    In WC1, Spirit tells you how in an asteroid field, Iceman will point his ship towards an asteroid and lure his target into chasing him. He'll charge the asteroid and veer off at the last moment, and a lot of times the pursuing ship won't veer off in time to avoid the asteroid.

    Plasma Weapons

    Excellent chart. Looks like it must've taken ages to make =) Is 30.0 cm the upper limit for the charging mass? What's the upper limit on the fission?

    Plasma Weapons

    Fission Cannon So does anyone know how the (charging) Fission Cannon from the Dragon stacks up against the AMG, Hades Plasma and Devastator Plasma weapons? Damage-wise? Would it damage capships?

    Wing Commander Superstitions

    Maybe because the Scimitar was a piece of junk compared to the Raptor?

    Squadron Makeup

    The back of the Prophecy:Gold box refers to the Cerberus as "Confed's first 'Quick-Strike' Carrier."

    Rachel creeps me out!

    Is anyone else creeped out by the whole Rachel-Casey thing in Prophecy? The chick is like twice his age and doesn't even look all that good anymore. Finley is older than Casey, but at least she still looks pretty good, and what about stiletto? The prophecy gold guide mentions something...

    Trouble Installing Secret Ops

    I just got ahold of Prophecy : Gold. Prophecy installs and runs just fine, but whenever I try to install Secret Ops, I get a glide2x.dll is missing error and the program dies. I downloaded this dll and put it into my windows system directory and that fixed the error during install, but then...

    Squadron Makeup

    A large ship like the Midway would also likely have an SWACS squadron (with maybe 5 ships, each with a crew of 4), a Search-and-Rescue Squadron, and a Tanker squadron. Probably 5 Tanker Condors, and 5 SAR Condors. I'm guessing with a crews of 4 each as well? Maybe a Marine Transport squadron...

    6,000 Marines???

    The Midway can carry up to 6000 marines during wartime? How many Hercs are we talking to land all of these guys? Would the Midway have enough shuttles to land them all at once? Or would they be making multiple trips? How many boots does a Herc carry anyways?

    Squadron Makeup

    Man, at 16 fighters, the Midway would have something like 15 squadrons. Maybe for a larger carrier they would have larger squadrons. Also, I am pretty sure a wing is usually referenced as the carrier's entire compliment. I know the navy usually has about 1.5 pilots to each plane...I...

    Squadron Makeup

    Anybody know how many fighters and pilots make up a Confed fighter squadron. I am thinking 12 ships to 16 pilots or 16 to 16 for some reason.

    Pulling Rank

    Speaking of WC1, I finally succeeded at the protect the Ralari mission. If that's not awesome enough, I did it twice in a row because I forgot to save. It seems like the trick is to not autopilot to the Ralari. I got bit longer to pound on the Grathas as they were steaming in towards the...
