In comparison to the film, the book is hardly a bid for a sequal. The esential founding for the end of Hannibal begins in Silence with the essential similarity of Starling and Lector. He plays on the manner in which their minds function and draws apparently insignificant but highly insightful...

Hopefully. But a government doesn't have to be totalitarian to be a pack of incompetent/mindless/selfish shits. Plus, I think its worth mentioning that pretty much every single major conflict throughout human history has its roots in commerce and resources. Quite often its not the only issue...

The ending of the book was superior to the ending of the film. The film ending was just a cop-out, allowing the possibility of a sequal. The book ending was more satisfying and kind of worked, although i do admit it is pretty sudden and could have done with more background. Silence was the...

If Origin did decide to bring Blair back in the next WC (if it ever happens) then his reappearance may cause some moments of plot thread grinding. After all, Secret Ops was set after WCP, so any way of bringing him back would have to account for his abscence for quite a long period of time after...

Well we don't really know either way so its probably best that we keep within the guidlines and end this line of conversation now.

Craig Kelly (who played Vince Tyler in the UK TV Series Queer as folk) made an appearance in the movie. I think he had a total of two lines. I think he played an Ensign. John Rhys-Davies appeared in WC3 and 4 as Paladin. He's also had a successful stint as Maximilian Arturo in the first few...

Fight! Fight! Fight! :D

I'm told guiness tastes better in Ireland. It tastes like the dredged remains of a pond in my local. Hehe, it blew my mind when I found a pub in my town that sells Budweiser on tap after 2 years of buying cola-sixed bottles. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm sweet sweet Bud. BTW Peeling labels off bud...

Well, even so, the fighters shown seem to be the size of a small capship (bigger than a corvette). The writing is small but it seems to say that it's a multi role fighter (or is that freighter?). It also has rotating thrust pods which seem a bit weird for a fighter that big. Oh well, it's not...

I'm full of ideas tonight :p If you decide to add any brand new ships to UE2 it might be worth adding some ex-confed corvettes. I know there are references to them in the literature (in the WCP Lit if nothing else). They are meant to be a cheap solution (quicker and cheaper than a capship...

http://64.246.38.49/artbyfeng/vehi_20.html Is this meant to be a fighter? It seems to be somewhat on the large side (if the 6 foot human figure at the bottom is a guide).

http://64.246.38.49/artbyfeng/vehi_14.html The border world fighters are very odd. Kind of like a cross between star trek, star wars and the Eldar from warhammer 40k. Now I'm going to get flamed by people who actually know star wars beyond the films :rolleyes:

Actually, on balance, the thing I'd most like to see in UE2 are regular website updates, as seen in UE1. Even when there is little to report, its still good to know that the project is actually still alive. On the same note, it's good that there are individuals involved who are able to keep the...

So is there a possibility they'll appear in UE2? Hehe, damn straight! :cool:

Is it possible to effectively have one rule for the capships and another for the fighters? As bombers are reasonably smart and manuverable it is fair to allow them to target and destroy individual componenets. As capships are slow and stupid it would be easier for them to target a hull (which...

Ok. I'll drop it.

As I recall, Blizzard's skin was blue, not just his hair. Correct me if I'm wrong, it won't be the first time ;)

I stand corrected. Its been a while since I saw that episode (but he was BLUE).

Probably for the same reason they did in the film. You don't want to wait around for the fighter shields to be worn down. Anyway, WCATV doesn't really fit into the WC universe at all. For christsakes, Iceman died before he could father a child (i.e. Casey) and he was BLUE. Not depressed...

I suppose. Torpedoes are functional and not too controversial but they do lack the fun and spectacle that would be created by capships slugging it out with everything they have (like the secret ops cutscenes). Are capships able to fire torpedoes at one another? Or did you mean those carried by...
