Well, duh... they only used a Lightning cockpit to build the things...

It's not listed at the ship dealer. Probably a misprint in the manual (those things DO happen from time to time).

How many fighters DOES the Plunkett carry?

I suck... I can't remember enough old DOS programming to write a proper boot disk. -.-;

The only cargo expansion the Centurion gets is a relatively tiny 20 unit shielded hold between the four engines that Tayla installs for you.

The Grikath wasn't very maneuverable on paper... but in the real game, it could do at least 60/60/60. Plus it had the same armament load fore and aft.

I think the problem here is that most of us were talking about the Kilrathi EMPIRE as a government, not the Kilrathi as a race. I was summing up the points that everybody was making, from how I understood this argument. I understand that the Kilrathi as a race have good and bad qualities...

At any rate, if enemy capital ships can get close enough to menace a carrier, it has failed in its primary mission of establishing space superiority.

We also know from "End Run" that the Kilrathi court historians alter their history to make things sound better. Overall, the "historical documents" in the red ink (denoting Kilrathi) have more of a "state history" feel, whereas those in black ink (denoting Confed) have more of an "objective...

1 cargo unit = 1 cubic meter (1 ton of water). The Centurion's cargo hold could be as small as 5 meters x 5 meters x 2 meters.

For the life of me, I can't understand how ANYBODY who uses the same technology as the humans to communicate (as the Kilrathi do, otherwise you couldn't taunt them) could possibly misunderstand a communication attempt as an attack. This seems to be an excuse by the Kilrathi, and nothing more.

Is this from a quotation or how is it derived? It seriously doesn't look THAT big in the game...

The Jalkehi and Jalthi fill similar slots in the Kilrathi flight line... but what of the Grikath? At first glance, it should be similar to the Gratha, but in fact it is a very agile and offensively powerful medium bomber.

The Centurion is only about twice the size of the Stiletto... it ain't THAT big.

They weren't? I seem to remember the Emperor talking to Thrakhath in more than one scene about the primary importance of maintaining their power base against the challenge of the other clans...

We very seldom deal with anything of the Kilrathi outside of their government. The Kilrathi government is xenophobic, and follows a wholly evil foreign policy. It's good and just to oppose such a government. In Wing Commander, you are not waging war against the Kilrathi people in general -...

WTF are you smoking??? The Banshee has a better missile loadout (8 compared to 6), is faster (500 compared to 420 km/sec), better shielded, and more maneuverable (100/70/100 compared to 60/60/60).

We are actually rather fortunate as far as sci-fi goes. Because Wing Commander is a video game with multiple paths and multiple endgames, we have canon footage showing what would happen in the event of a Terran loss of the war, and it IS the utter destruction of the planet Earth. Not in as...

The WC4 Banshee is a pretty good ship, actually... those lasers refire FAST, and with four guns firing that quickly, you're actually putting a fairly respectable amount of energy on-target.
