Fighters popped up during Deep Space Nine and First Contact. DS9 drew direct attention to them while First Contact put them on the screen but didn't say "Look, fighters!" They are primarily used by the Federation. The Maquis (faction you're thinking of) are essentially Federation separatists...

Quick answer. They weren't launching the attack from Kilrah. If they were, Confed would have readily spotted the supercarriers under construction. The attack came from the shipyards out in the boondocks, and came up through Landreich space.

The way people get so upset about a movie that they beat on it any opportunity they get, you'd think it killed their cat.

I wouldn't be surprised if he copy-paste plagiarized a 'best 10' list and then changed words around to make it seem more Internet cynic.

It's usually a matter of renegotiating the publishing license. After all, XBLA is a means of distribution. Microsoft probably can't be bothered to go back to the companies to get it sorted, especially when XBLA isn't the platform's breadwinner.

Yeah. Plus they do the thing annually. "Of all time" rings hollow when the writers fuss with it so often, and so dramatically.

For various reason I'm selling a lot of stuff soon. Some of this stuff is Wing Commander games and I figure there might be wingnuts out there who would like to top off a collection (or even start one). I have: Wing Commander 2 Deluxe CD* Wing Commander 3 Origin's Official Guide to...

Seen The Triplets of Belleville?

Sweet. Time to stalk the LOAF of Christmas Past.

We actually were in a cold war with Japan, where we had specifically stopped selling them oil due to the atrocities they were doing in China - which would be the same thing as if the Saudi's stopped selling us oil. Plus Japan was in a state of imperial expansionism. It was very close to a...

You stop copying Pearl Harbor right this instant!

Everything will use the Windows page file. If you have the page file set to C: it'll need space there.

Try defragging the drive Starcraft 2 is on. Starcraft 2 had a very interesting problem in the beta which hasn't been fixed. The digital distribution (and possibly retail) copy of the game install heavily fragmented. It could be your stuttering is because the video files are fragmented to...

AD estimated in the recent movie thread that it was just shy of 6 million. Those charts are dubious since it's only recently that publishers started disclosing exact numbers of units sold. Even so, most of the figures floating around today are speculation from flaky guesstimators. Not that...

You can get in touch directly with Baen Books since they published the novels. The e-mail they have listed on their website is info@baen.com

The pug could be very handy if the Kilrathi have lots of carpets.

Actually having trouble playing video files in any video game, I would recommend installing and/or updating your codecs. EDIT: The codec pack I use - http://www.codecguide.com/download_kl.htm

Yes, let's suggest pirating e-books without getting specific about it. Frankly if the e-book doesn't exist in the legal channels you're not going to find it on some abandonwarez website. I just don't see Russian software pirates spending their time converting Wing Commander books into a...

I want you to announce that EA is making a new, full blown Wing Commander game. And a unicorn. No, no wait! A space unicorn.

I like games that have the option to disable physics simulations. Why? Because they all look terrible and end up with half the corpses stuck clipping in the ground or spazzing in the air like an invisible big red dog is thrashing it. Perhaps the funniest physics bugs I've seen are in Fallout 3.
