Personally I never saw the merit of the Icarius but gladly bought the Heretic whenever I played through. Only issue with it is the spacing of the guns so off center, trying to down a Skull without missiles was like trying to swat a fly with a baseball bat.

We didnt start the fight, but we sure did HELP finish it. Unlike Hollywood and our own ignorance would suggest, it took a team effort of multiple nations to end Fascism and Imperial expansion.

Once you got late into the game and had too much money on your hands, two launchers and 20 IFF's was an easy (expensive!!) way to clear out that pesky red dot problem. Though I agree with Lorien, torps were the way to go in the beginning.

More than likely, they were destroyed after the Black Ops project was suspended. Happens in modern military all the time. Or as R Lee Ermey would say "It went the way of the dodo" hehe.

Nothing beats the "OH CRAP! Am I gonna make it to the planet before I get wasted?!" in Privateer

Point and case being, we're not the only ones who fought and others deserve more credit than the media and you would give them for that matter. And my mistake, they were under British command but were still the Polish Army.

Its quite annoying in the BSG Colonial Mod I have as the Colonial ships are dependent on heavy frontal weaponry that becomes useless and the Cylons just pound the crap outta them with missiles, all the while I'm yelling multiple curses at them ;).

If I recall correctly, in the WC4 novel, the Durango was an old Confed destroyer passed onto the Border Worlds where it went through a refit to a carrier but still retained its weaponry such as torpedo tubes (not present in the game though). The Bearcat was never widely adopted due to engine...

If you actually knew anything about Poland, you'd know that they provided the British with an Enigma machine and the codes, preventing the loss of the Battle of the Atlantic. Also, nearly a quarter million Polish troops served just with the British after the fall of Poland. How funny you're...

There is no denying that every side committed unnecessary acts against one another, though what made this war different was also what was done in the aftermath. Typically, when an opposing nation is beaten and/or conquered, the winning nation plunders or demands significant monetary assets and...

Conquest Frontier Wars was another little gaming nugget of goodness where you could capture enemy ships with marines. Nothing like stealing someones thunder by capturing all their heavy hitters and throwing them back at them or parade them in front of them till they do something stupid :D.

I just had a thought that may or may not be feasible, in several instances Confed and the Kilrathi have captured ships and used them against their former faction. Could Zahn's bribe ability be used by say Marine shuttles of both sides in space maps? Depending if that can be implemented...

Daybreak pt II was a great episode, except for tying of up of lose ends. Another great one is Exodus pt 2, it was a shame to see the Pegasus sacrificed.

In case any one has put off buying BSG on DVD (such as myself), Amazon is running a crazy sale on all seasons currently. I just purchased 1, 2.0, 2.5, 3, 4, and 4.5 for about $120 with shipping :eek:. Even the complete box is going for 50% off, not trying to pitch it but it's a helluva bargain.

Hmm...I'm tracking down a legit copy of KS that wont cost me my first born, maybe I'll be lucky and not experience the graphic or sound issues hopefully.

Are the same problems regarding the controls, graphics, and sound present with KS if you run it in a virtual pc using either Win95 or Win98?

I'm with Vinman, the first time I played Privateer was the defining experience of playing the series. No other game, not even Freelancer has been able to come close to that. Funny enough, like Frosty, I had a backwards trek through the series. Started with WC4, then WC3, WC2, and was only...

Aside from torrents (piracy :mad: ) and borrowing, another way of getting a hold of the various games are a direct download through websites advertising them as abandonware. While I believe your answer will be the same as what I'm thinking, would you be able to provide a definition of how that...

Assuming 1500 is the norm, I found hardpoints on both dreadnought types, Kavor, Shivier, and most of the Confederation cap ships that needed a tweek ( I was a good little wingnut and didnt touch the fighters as tempting as it was ). Also, I changed all the missile hardpoints up to the same...

I have a 8600GT and originally had a problem when HDR was implemented. It was solved by changing the settings in the NVIDIA Control from Use My Preference-Quality, as it was apparently trying to force settings that the game engine wasnt appreciating. Also, lowering the AA and AS in the...
