RE: to Penguin's last message Chip: Just because making your own supplies is more reliable doesn't mean ConFed would not resort to taking ships (else there probably would not have been a "save the Ralari" mission). When you've got a large a number of people who've got virtually nothing...

RE: To Meson's message below Meson: And that's your problem. You use the examples WITHOUT adjustments. The Wing Commander Universe has a very specific set of physics laws. Even when the writers bend the rules, the general gist of these laws remain. If you are taken technology from another...

RE: to messages below Penguin: OK so you've got drones with needles and glue. What if the other side has them too? Drones land on ship, drones penetrate ship hull, drones enter, defending drones detonate glue bombs, boarding drones trapped, player fires on ship, boarding drones destroyed...

Merry Christmas to you too Chris and to all And I wish everyone a happy new 2001 year too.

RE: Capships should never be destroyed There's another method of securing a ship for capture: Send in drone robots equipped with high powered needle shooting weapons that have their fletchette sprays coated with poison. Let the drones just spray that stuff all around. The drones could also...

quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- They are actually quite stupid since many of them lost their ships to the boarding Marines. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Complete bull crap, they...

RE: to Wedge & Earthworm Wedge: If it happened as you say, Chip, you'd be spoiling the whole idea of the WC game, ie Blair the one-man-navy blasting all the kitties to dust, all by himself. Too, the BW's were considered hostiles, esp in Earth space, until Blair could get down and clear...

What the hell are you talking about? CB: First of all, rather than using profanity at me, why don't you try re-asking your question in reference to specific words that I posted. That would be extremly stupid and would make any game, even WC, suck. CB: Then don't play to capture...

RE: To Earthworm's messages below Re: RE: to Quarto's message quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by Chip Second, many players like capturing ships as intact as they can so they can build up their fleets...

RE: to Quarto's message Quarto Oh, I'm anything but narrow-minded. Yet, I pray that no Origin employee will ever listen to your ideas. I mean... missiles that gum-up turrets? Missiles that make enemy fighters change their IFF signals (thus rendering your IFF missiles useless, and not giving any...

Tour To succeed in an attack, go on a tour of where you'll be attacking. Get all the information you can -- troop deployments, supply areas, etc. This will give you an idea of what forces you'll need. Tell Tell lies and gossip to inform people of "truthful" things -- like their...

Secondly, the death of Prince Thrakhath would completely annihilate any chances of victory... for the humans. Haven't you noticed that, time after time, we were saved by his incompetence? CB: I noticed that Thrak was responsible for the bombardment attempt on Earth when the Emeperor told him...

Well, maybe Origins might make another Not to mention that bearly any companies actually listen to sugestions their customers have, because everyone will always want something different, and you can never satisfy them all... CB: Not necessarily, I'm sure we could all agree on some things...

RE: To Earthworm's messages below That's because SF and MD are light/medium damage weapons at best, so they won't destroy anything too fast. Notice though, that in WC4, the Stormfire is extremly good at destroying capships when the shields are down... CB: Which is why we need heavier...

RE: to Quarto Quarto: You know what I hate the most about this thread? The fact that as moderator, I'm obliged to read the whole damned thing. Because it's really not worth reading. Earthworm, why do you even bother responding? CB: With a narrow-minded attitude like that, customer's...

Build Decoy Fleet Here's something ConFed could've done was to have built a decoy fleet. They could've built alot of decoy capships and moved them in formation to distract the advancing Kilrathi fleet. Then ConFed could've had the real fleet come in from the flanks and rear to attack.

RE: To Earthworm's message MD's and SF's pierce the armour just like any other weapon - once the shields have been penetrated. If you can't shoot well enough to penetrate armour with Stormfires, well... CB: I've hit ships w/both, but the shots have never penetrated the armor and caused...

RE: To Earthworm's message What the hell are MGs, and where have you seen any exoskeletons in WC? CB: I was referring to machine guns or rather, SMGs -- submachine guns Yeah, lets send in more marines into a space fight... CB: Exactly, so they don't get slaughtered by ships...

RE: to messages below Re: Multiplayer WC quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by Chip I think there should be some multiplayer action. That way you could get like 8 players (each controlling a pilot of the Victory) in...

RE: to messages below Chip: "CB: You've never seen me shoot before -- when they see 50 of their buddies getting shot to bits, they'll turn and run and I'll be the one getting them eventually." So what you're saying is you are Rambo. You're going to single handedly board the pride of the...
