Red squadron was Hellcats, I believe. Just in case it makes a difference for the fanfic.

But lots of them?

Well, his point was about "senseless bashing". He doesn't have to read the whole thread in order to find examples of this.

OK. I don't believe that I can read that much into what people are thinking when they post, so I have to view your second paragraph as speculation, not fact. I just find it interesting that you draw a line between your insults and freeballs' response. It seems a little weird to be legitimizing...

Your opening post sounded kind of personal to me. Maybe I'm just oversensitive. It certainly seemed less on the "public debate" side of things.

IIRC in TIE Fighter the winged ones were light cruisers and the command type were regular cruisers, the difference being in weapons, shield and hull strength.

I hear that a lot, but wouldn't it only make sense to say that it could be a figment of my imagination?

Cool. Thanks for the info Bombadier. Do you happen to know the name of that thread? Good point. It just seemed that that kind of maneuvering in a fighter would use up a huge amount of fuel.

QuailPilot will correct me if I'm wrong but these seem like events from Fleet Action (Hunter and Kirha) that the reader is already meant to be familiar with. Presumably, the details themselves are not integral to the story. It's a nice touch that promotes a good feeling of nostalgia :) .

The Tarsus is more of a merchant ship isn't it? Anyway, in the books (End Run, Action Stations, Fleet Action) there are references to maneuvering that is dependant on (Hydrogen?) Scoops. Presumably this creates some form of drag or something that allows a fighter to turn. That last part is my...

Did it for sure? I kind of thought Blair was just teasing him.
