Nope, Bismarck was a politician, founder of Germany. The founder of the German Fleet was Alfred von Tirpitz. Speaking of the German navy, some of the most famous ships (or infamous, depending how you want to see it) Where named after generals. KMS Scharnhorst KMS Gneisenau KMS Blücher...

I agree with you about the engines. However, If I not entirely wrong, the Firekkans wasn't actually a spacefaring race until the Kilrathis and the confederation showed up. So I would think it is quite understandable that the first firekkan designed fighters have some flaws. Not even confed could...

Well done!

Keep up the donations guys. My country is in a national trauma right now since Phuket and Kao Lak in Thailand are very popular holiday resorts for Swedes. Here in Sweden the news hit us on 26th december, the same day it happened. The newspapers have showed pictures of missing swedes all week. A...

OOPS! Well As you say. It's difficult to hear the taunts sometimes. Especially if you are from non-english speaking country (I must put the blame somewhere :p ).

Speaking of Maestro here's another one of his taunts: "Let's have a problem introduced. I'm Maestro, your dead" :)

And I say it's Stilletto :D I never heard that Taunt when I had Amazon as wingman, but a lot of times when Stiletto was around. It sounds like Stilettos voice too (or the actor ;) )

I don't know if I want to say that the ship is to small. I am not too familiar with the WC timeline so I don't know which frigate BANDIT was talking about and when it did appear. What I do know is that some ships tend to be smaller and meaner due to technological development. Modern...

I liked Stilleto in WCP. Her contempful: Don't mess with me...little insect! Was wonderful. Maniac's "Time for a little bug funeral" is a close second.

Well... It depend's on what you mean with honor. Like the Japanese, the Kilrathi have the same high demands on their enemies as they have on their selves. That's why Trakath and the Emperor decided to use nukes and Pandemic in the end, because we humans were not worthy enough. After all, the...

I remember once when I looked on a documentary about the U.S. Air Force. A colonel there had the callsign "fuel mup" because that was what the tanker craft always heard over the comm when the colonel requested refueling :) So why not think in those terms, based on his personality, how is he...

Interestingly to see how this FS thread turned into a small debate over the possibilities to stop Germany in the early stages of the war :) I agree that the anti-war movement messed up a lot things (although it is a noble cause). I can look on my own country (Sweden) as proof of that. Sweden...

Apparently the chief designer did miss the blind spot :p No wonder that Confed didn't pick up the design. I think it's a good idea making a combined cruiser/carrier. It would have made a prefect strike carrier/merchant raider, if the design would have been better. You didn't say anything...

I agree that Kilrathi pirates could form the core of some of the pirates. However there could also be another explanation. If we look at our own history we find one empire that is very similar to the Kilrathi empire; The Japanese Empire prior and during the second World war. For a japanese...

According to his personal biography he seems to be a smart guy who won't get himself killed by taking foolish risks. I suggest the callsign "Einstein"

I used T-rex as a callsign. I thought it was cool to have a callsing reminding of one of the greatest predators on earth. Unfourtunately, some stupid paleontologist have come to the conclusion that the T-rex wasn't a predator at all! It was a big stinky scavenger instead :( Mvh! T-rex the...

It really looks great! I can't wait until the first issue is finished Like a late christmas present :) Keep up the good work guys! Mvh! T-rex

Ok, my mistake :)

Hey! Whats wrong with the Devastator in Prophecy? I loved it. Sure it's slow, and hopeless in dogfights, but what do you expect? It's a heavy bomber! It's supposed to fly into the thick of battle without escort and get out, it is like the B-17 Flying Fortress in the 2nd world war. Besides I...
