I get the impression Concordia was designed as a dreadnought first and a carrier second, and she became primarily a carrier only after the phase transit cannon was discovered to be unreliable. The flight deck seems to be a bit of an afterthought compared to other carriers, placed on top of the...

So in the game, Victory is 300 meters long and Behemoth is just under 2400 m. Why the disparity with the manual? Did the engine not allow larger capships, or was Origin just lazy with their measurements?

Exactly how much is a klick, anyhow? I tried to calculate the length of Behemoth and Victory today, and came up with 23,850 klicks and 3000 klicks respectively (497 kps for @ 48 seconds and 100 kps for 30 seconds). I thought a klick was one meter, but these numbers are nowhere near the published...

She's not the only one. Mine only recently came to fully grasp my fascination with science fiction, but she tolerates it (albiet with more than a few eye rolls). I'm working on converting her; she even watches the occasional BSG episode now. Baby steps, but steps nonetheless.

The Morningstar isn't enough of a dogfighter to challenge the Dragon. And Jazz was easy to kill; he didn't even get any shots off after the first pass. So Seether in the Dragon, even though Jazz was more likable (which just goes to show that nice guys finish last.)

WC3. The loss of your second carrier, Angel missing in action, Luke Skywalker - what could be a better setup to a great game?

She's quite the snaggletooth. looks great.

I like Bear also, but more as a character than a wingman; my wingmen always shoot me up in the last mission of SO1.

I tried; nothing came up

Iceman. He's the only one who shot the enemy more than he shot me. Or Hobbes from WC3.

Probably not; I'm sure the pilots used a sealed bag similar to the ones used today. I don't think that particular technology would have to change to much; there's not much point in reinventing the book, if you know what I mean

looks great. looking forward to the fangs.

I didn't think about checking S*S. Thanks

I know Concordia was lost over Vespus, but is there any more to the story than that?

fair enough

Why are they banned?

I guess I never really bothered trying to tail an eneemy in the raptor; I usually finished them off on the first pass or went head-to-head without fear of runningout of shields and armor. The Rapier is a diiferent story; as strong as the shield were, I took more care staying out of the arc of...

So it was the Lexington that set up the asteroid bases for the t-bomb run? I haven't played Armada all the way through, so I don't know the story well (and what I've read is pretty vague), but it makes sense. Was Angel still the Wing Commander on Cancordia during the Battle of Earth?

And if you missed the first time with the Raptor, it took a few seconds to recharge and turn back towards the target, usually taking daamage from quicker fighters along the way. The Excalibur and Rapier were quick enough that you could tail the enemy with your guns recharged.

Does anyone know when Angel transferred off of Concordia to Special Ops? I know she was captured around the time Concordia went down, but did she transfer before or after the Battle of Earth?
