How Tolwynian of you.

Bummer. Can you say what kind of tanks you're in?

What is it?

True, there are not major space battles every other episode. However they do exist. The pretext is there. Phasers, photon torpedoes, shields. There are also enemies to use them on. I am somewhat of a fan and when I see those things on the show I enjoy it. My imagination can make good use of it...

I'm not sure if I have the right understanding about your post, but why does everyone have to conciously appreciate the political/social messages, nuances, cultural references etc. of Star Trek. For some people, the appeal could come from powerful "warships" and conflict and "giant space war...

I think that violating a ceasefire might qualify as a dishonorable thing to do when certain things, such as the withdrawl of UN troops, disruption of shipping and seizure of ships and crews, and a massive millitary build up on the border by known and proven enemies, are not taken into account...

I don't know if it cost any *self* respect. IceyI86: What's your source for the info on the Constellation and Miranda classes? Didn't the Constellation class show up a lot later than the Miranda?

He probably took you to mean that the F104s came out on top. As far as Israel, he must have meant that they came out on top against Arab Migs ( but the same could be said for pretty much any aircraft they came up against).

Didn't one of those supercarriers show up in False Colors?

You did need a lock to fire a torpedo in WC3/4. I think it also mentions in the novels (WCIII and/or WCIV) that the purpose of the lock is to get through the phase shields. Like Delance said, it's never been done so it probably is either impossible or impractical. If it is impossible, the...

1. X-Wings are slower and Y-wings more so but presumably whoever could get through went into the Death Star. 2. I also seem to remember Han Solo having some connections with the Empire, possibly as a cadet. Maybe they just mentioned that he had planned on doing that.

That seems to be what he is saying. Character accents can be associated with their home planets/systems. Everyone may have the same word for it, but pronounce it differently.

The TCS Waterloo is derived from Texas?

That's a good point. I didn't remember that mission.

True, but don't forget that fighters were involved in that battle and although they were used by both sides, fighter combat in the WC universe can be very one sided. In fact if you are refering to an in-game mission, then the fighting was almost certainly done entirely by fighter craft. We still...

Too late. :D

Thank you.

What is a troll, anyway?

According to The Price of Feedom novel, 10 fighters per squadron was a confed wartime number which was changed to 16 after the war. But I don't know what context you are writing in. Also, reserve fighters would seem to cover ejections et al, until resupply became necessary/available. Unless...

How about those same roles that they had then (and now)? It took out both pursuing confed cruisers in a running battle.
