I always went on the assumption that the Retros would treat Confederation and Kilrathi forces alike; through the eyes of a Retro, they are both warmongering machine-lovers and threats to the Eternal Church. The only difference might be in their perceived capacity to convert the Confed...

Well I think Retros are great. In an era obsessed by survival and war, it is great to see a little idealism, and people who are prepared to die for their principles and ideology. Yes, its contradictory in some ways, and yes, they seem to die in their hundreds every time they enter combat. But...

I must say that I agree with DangerousCook. It's the damned Drakhri or a lucky Sartha that always seems to get me, sometimes with a DF missile. Only if I'm already swamped or on a Torpedo run do the heavy ones manage to cause me any real problems. I love the Rapier, the DFs are great for...

Newspeak is such a horrible thing. We British GMT boys make it 1823 as I write this, plenty of time in the waking day yet!

Angel was KIA'd much later remember, I think she was with Covert long before Vespus. That's probably what you meant anyway!

WC1. The original and best!

Breathtaking again sir. Great work!!!!

'Claw for me. Great looking ship.

Great news sir!

Agreed with Sharpshooter, all these goodies are great for replayability. And you're unlikely to see them in a full commercial release game given the time and effort put in to make them work. That's why Standoff and the some of the other fan projects are so good - dynamic campaigns and great detail.

Champ. I'm dead proud of that though, he was my favourite character - his scream of "No, no, nooooooooooooooo!" was a great death and made me laugh for ages!

Sirs, For those of us like myself who have zero skill at programming or game design, this thread has been a really fascinating insight into the inner workings of the Standoff mod. I've actually really enjoyed seeing you discuss the technical detail. I got to wondering, would you consider...

I can understand that. I love the idea of epic pitched battles with dozens of fighters around a carrier though, like that Ralatha / Snakeir mission in Standoff.

Animals is very odd. I like it, but you have to be in an equally odd mood to listen to it! Floyd are utterly amazing, I actually enjoy the later albums, especially the live ones such as Pulse which re-interpret the classic tracks with more modern equipment to get them closer to the sound...

Very mature.

Sirs, I can see the original poster's point about "here I come to save the daaaay". I'd really appreciate it if you guys could remove that specific phrase - it really is very irritating. As a whole though, the taunts are good and quite atmospheric. Especially the Retros; I played that...

Sir, The only ship I've found genuinely frustrating in any WC game is the Gladius in Standoff. Low afterburner fuel, poor fire concentration, and I'd much rather have the Rapier with the same guns.

Kavok --> Pip You fly like the ape that you are...!

I don't know, I think I'm pretty good at dying...!

Sirs, I must say that Ironduke has proved as good as his word in terms of responding to feedback. We're all getting more familiar with the rules as we put them into practice, and ironing out kinks as well as adding to some rules for certain situations. It would be nice to have some support...
