From what I heared, it was all except strategically important. But... I know nothing first hand about that - it may or may not be true.

There's a very big distinction. In A and B, you kill mostly people that chose to fight. It was their choice, and they knew they would die. In C, you're killing everyone. Fighters, children, animals, everyone. But... I won't go further with this. First... because I tried instructing myself...

No... I'm trying to arrive to the conclusion (which I think is true - but can't prove) that dropping the A-bomb was wrong even in that era, but fear from one side, submission from another side, and pride in power from another side has made everyone shut up. Not at all. Radioactive fallout is...

I understand that. But I understand that strategic bombing was aimed at crippling the industry... not the entire people. With conventional bombs, you had some aim... sure it was crappy, but since it was what was available, well, people accepted the consequences (and, may I say, people not...

Certainly. This is getting out of hand. I would lock this thread... it's tempting.

Must I explain everything to the last detail? I had to comment on the RL counterpart. I felt the urge to do so. As you felt the urge to comment on what "couldn't let go" could and couldn't mean. Hey... I'm no hisotrian. I never said I was. But I read some stuff about it, and I never read...

I didn't want to start a debate... but I couldn't let go either. I myself don't understand the reasons behind the dropping of the A-bomb. Just don't. Any historical piece I find supports the... ehm... hypothesis of the Japanese being ready to surrender. Now... why someone would choose to drop a...

Sorry for the offtopicness... but I can't help myself when I see this kind of things: In RL, you don't have to be doing so much better... they were already going to surrender. PS: offtopicness? Take a look at this thread... this is the wildcard thread. BTW: Why doesn't the forum allow me...

About changing the universe... if you fly into a battle and start shoting Kilrathi pilots... and you survive... then you're better than blair. The idea is that we'll try to make obvious the difference between civilian and military craft, and if you ever attempt such a thing, they'll blow you...

John: I do agree. Charleig: I think John was referring to adding feature after feature, before the previous features get propperly debugged. I would really like to stop that, and I think spirit does too, since she stopped adding features. Oh... about planet sizes... just FYI, it was all in...

You mean things like autotracking and turret AI? I really don't think that deserves the tag of "gone wrong". If you tried PR1.2, you will notice that it's on par with GG on the big things. Detail-wise, yes, GG has better polish. But I guess it's because with PR, solutions are uncertain...

Yes... he's a major proponent of realism. That and WC does create some trouble. I'll see what I can do. If that fails, chuck is not the only one working on it. Oh... and you can link a post in VS forums: just take a look at the tiny page that's right to the left of the post date... that's...

@LOAF: About chuc... yes... that's why I'll try to convince him, instead of merely telling him to check this out. I'm sure he'll have some kind of problem with coming back. And, although he knows little about continuity, he's been reading everything there is in wcnews' archives about the...

And what to do when, as in WCU, you have to mix stuff from 5 sources (WC1,2,3,4 and Priv), all with different looks (mostly because of this difference in technology)? You can't have a game with 5 sets of styles. That's actually the reason why the title screen looks bad: the ships. It's not...

But we didn't grab the artist's work. In games, first comes the concept art. Then, the modeller, and it finally gets ingame. Now... the thing to respect is the concept art, because the modeller's job is to try to fit that concept in an engine with specific limitations. We didn't find any concept...

Oh... now I understand... ...english is just a problematic language. How come you (singular) is the same word as [/i]you[/i] (plural)? We should all talk spanish... we wouldn't have had that problem. Sorry... misunderstanding. I wasn't implying that my way was the one... I was just saying...

And... until now... there was noone at WCU ensuring canon compliance. Really, that's a new development. Well, at least I think so... I can only speak from the time I got involved until now.

Brad, just for your ease, I really think you're a great artist and I would always pay attention to what you say. I must confess, though, that I'm a little bit out of context regarding this specific issue. But... I would say your opinion matters. Perhaps it's just the way of expressing such...

Blue_paladin, I know you're defending us, and that's good, but your argumenting using an ad-hominem falacy. It won't help. Although it's an interesting remark... I hadn't noticed. However, paladin... looking at that title screen shows how badly the models in WCU need beautifying. So...

Sorry for the multiple posting, but I thought this was better than editing: Also, there's people correcting canon inconsistencies within WCU wherever possible. We do give importance to canon. But, sometimes, canon itself is inconsistent or incomplete. Then, we get to make up things because...
