    Game intro poll

    What about whole thing with Angel, it set that up. Thrakhath calling Blair the Heart of the Tiger is part of the traitor plot and some other things....

    Could Tolwyn Be Compaired to Hitler?

    Well WC is basically WWII in reverse. Remember that Chris Roberts always wanted a basic WWII feel to WC. The Kilrathi are like the Japanese. The T-bomb is like the A-bomb. And the BL are like the Nazis. They are, however, only similar, not equal.

    Hand held weapons

    Why does it have to be a laser? It could be another type of energy weapon or a high energy particle weapon. Unless it's actually stated somewhere... Also energy weapons can also be made for short range. Either something like a laser with a tight focus or another energy weapon with quick...

    What is it about space sims?

    I think Earth and Beyond is supposed to be more RPG than space sim. They talk about skills and such.

    Master of Orion

    You didn't see the Antarans, because they can't appear. I don't know how some of the tech can't be researched. In all the editors I've seen you can't take tech out. Unless he hacked it out himself... You can't tell that Firekkans are only androids from the game, but I've been trying to...

    Feline (Kilrathi?) mention in Privateer 2

    Their military is called CIS and is at least at one point refered to as Confed. I always assumed it was the same as the Terran Confederation. Just because it's not part of the TC now, doesn't mean it wasn't previously. Some part of the TC could have landed on Anhur and was cut off from the rest...

    Master of Orion

    The stats are different from WC games because of the limits MOO2 places on the ships. The Antarans aren't defined at all (I used an editor to look). The map is different because of the limited number of systems that can be on a map (tho, I agree it does look like a lot of systems aren't in the...

    Master of Orion

    I meant fleets that were in your means. The closer you get to the end of the game the more ships you can build without the support. You can't afford to do that in the beginning of the game, where as in MOO you can continue to build ships without limit (and your established colonies usually have...

    Oh, just need to add ftp:// in front. ftp://ftp.sff.net/pub/people/zoetrope/MOO2/

    Master of Orion

    MOO3 doesn't have a storyline but it does have a huge background story you can uncover (it's also part of one of the 5th X, and a way to win). I'd play the games in order. MOO is more simple than MOO2. There is also Starlords, which is kind of a MOO0. It was never released and it was turned...

    Master of Orion

    Mrrshan are not a playable race in MOO3 although they are hidden in the game somewhere. The Darlocks won't be in the game at all, but their ancestors will. The Elerians aren't a playable race but they're in there somewhere. The Bulrathi and Alkari are not in there at all as far as Quicksilver...

    Anyone Remember?

    Bah! The Plunketts aren't over kill. They're just designed to smash other capships. All it needs is a little fighter cover.

    Pre-WC1 Ships

    The guy who wrote the Confed Handbook took all the stats from WC1.

    Dallas system?

    Just because you can't jump to it doesn't mean people don't know about it. You can see other stars so you could see other systems. Plus, as everyone keeps saying, you could get to it with a Hopper drive.

    Space trash

    In the SO fiction they talk about gathering Nephilm debris. I don't recall if there was any specific agency mentioned.

    RTS Poll

    Re: Border Worlds Union Don't forget that you have to support what you capture. You could always recycle material or mothball it if you have to, but you still have the people to take care of.

    What did you prefer?

    You have to target one of the Leviathan carriers or the Tiamat dreadnought.

    Carrier flight groups

    Destroyers are also faster and more manueverable. It's supposed to be easier for destroyers to fight smaller ships than it is for cruisers. They are also used to protect cruisers from destroyers and smaller ships.

    LOAF, do you buy EVERYTHING?

    HTML isn't really a language. It's a script. (Don't let the L fool you! It lies!)
