A reply to a few things: Ramscoop: to be used efficiently at the given size, you would need an field of some sort swooping up particles. In Star Trek it's one of the additional functions of the Navigational deflector. Tunneling effect: That has nothing to do with FTL. Tunneling is the sudden...

What new kids? You mean the so-called 'New Metal' or 'Rap metal' (ala Limp Bizkit)? Nothing but crap there. And those other two things are nothing but rumours! They would have posted it on the Metallica Club website if it were true. The only things officially known about the new album is that...

Well, I never read End Run. Anyone have a copy he/she can sell to me? :rolleyes:

The weather-worn look was good, the 'modified WW2 airplane' look was bad. Overall the movie makes good Saturday-night-with-nothing-else-on entertainment. I've seen it twice now. Maybe I'll buy it someday. :)

Thanks! Plenty of alcoholic pilots, but an alcoholic captain is a new twist! Not very realistic, unless by execute you mean 'kill when he tries to flee'. I doubt you'd get to be firing squad in an official execution. Sounds as a good idea. Write it, Write it, Write it, Write it, Write it...

Hey LOAF, you seem to have forgotten the Confederation Handbook on your list. And as for first WC experiences (as we seem to be sharing those now), I first got involved with WC when I got a set of 251 disks my uncle didn't need anymore. (If you think it's sad I counted them, think how sad it...

Luck runs out. Skill only gets better.

It would be an interesting WC6 storyline. Due to losses to the Nephilim Confed isn't as strong anymore as it used to be. Meanwhile a new clan rises to power and forms a new Kilrathi empire, and they decide to take advantage of the situation and attack us. Also because they hope that will...

Well after James comes out of treatment (for his alcohol addiction) they should continue recording the new album. We'll see how that turns out and then decide if they're on their way out or still great as ever. And in the mean time I just purchased the 'Cunning Stunts' DVD and well.... wow! Too...

They had a one-man choir named James Hetfield! :D Right... I think trying to write orchestra for Cobalt's Prophecy would end up in a frenzy of strings. Just like Battery on aforementioned S&M. "It wasn't pretty" - Maestro Well, actually it was still very good because it's F**CKING METALLICA...

Fire and Forget?!? Don't you mean Friend or Foe. Technically, all guided missiles are Fire and Forget missiles. (with the exception of laserguided missiles, where you have to keep a laser pointed at your target after firing, but WC doesn't have those)

My main gripe about Linux is that while it itself is very stable, There is no real usable browser for it. Netscape I hate, it's unstable, slow and has virtually no standard support in 4.x and weird standard support in 6.x, even the at times incredibly non-conformant IE is better than NS in that...

I'm going for the Heat Seekers because especially in the earlier Wing Commanders, they never get a lock when I want them to. In WC3 I would always immediately replace any Heat Seekers with ImRecs. Much better. Never understood why the loadout screen in WC3 gives a higher TacVal to HS missiles...

Anyone know a site like half.com which has the WC novels and can do international shippings? Half.com works only in the USA, apparently, too bad... For those of you looking for End Run, currently someone is offering a 'like new' state copy for $15 and several cheaper in still acceptable...

Col.Dom, there are only two ways you'd possibly not learn something new here every visit: 1. You have to play all the games, with all the possible winning and losing paths (ie see all the cutscenes), read all the novels/game guides and related materials, see all movies/tv-shows (why the heck...

But it didn't help, if she's your ex-girlfriend. :cool:

Then why is Lackey's name first on the cover? I thought it might be a coincidence. And of course the blue hair thing is possible too. :cool:

Well, considering Creative Labs' track record, it's not that useless a post to make. This, on the other hand, was. :rolleyes:

On page 177 of Freedom Flight, Blair is mentioned in a poker game. Either Lackey is psychic, or it was already known at OSI that they would call him Blair for WC3 in 1992. Anyone know?

Yeah I know, but I've never played SO2 (yet), and I remembered him being in WC2, not just being mentioned in WC2. But it was a long time ago, I may be confusing some games here.
