Ha-ha! I keep a squirt bottle handy so I can train her. She is very rambunctious with my other, much older cat (who HATED the presence of another cat for the longest time). For whatever reason, she only wants to be held when she feels like it, and will cry like you're torturing her if you hold...

Sigh Right. Says the guy who told me: "Hey, I wasn't talking to you" in a general discussion thread. Ever think you might be reading too much into what I'm saying? I wasn't yelling. We know this because if I was yelling, or actually really angry, it would be a lot more obvious than writing a...

Probably wrong choice of words on my part. Let's say ... I think the Scimitar was inspired by the Wildcat, since they share a similar story of problematic and replaced for something better.

Oh, for the love of ... wait, you're serious, aren't you? Look. You said to me: "It very clearly wasn't." There is no being "injured" about it. You want to make statements like that? "Very clearly"? You had better be prepared to back it up with more than just "well, it's common sense," because...

Hoo boy. I added 33 new grabs tonight. I don't know how many I've done over the course of the last few days. It's probably pretty close to 100. Just an update to let you know I'm still working. :)

No, it's on YOU once you use phrases like: "It very clearly wasn't." Oh really? Very clearly, eh? Do you know something I don't? Because up until that point, we were just speculating. You came into the mix with a statement that implied concise intent on the designer's part. Common sense? Again...

I feel like the Scimitar is more analogous to the F4F Wildcat, as it is retired and replaced with the more agile and less problematic (climbing stalls, etc.) F6F Hellcat. Anyway, the Swordfish. In the battle with the Bismarck, the Swordfish embodied the "nimble fighter." It was old, sure...

Thanks for the recommendation! I will pick it up! It's like I said above, the Swordfish pilots flew low and slow, and thus the Bismarck's anti-aircraft flak guns had real trouble hitting them. Not one Swordfish was shot down, if I recall correctly.

Exactly why I think of the Swordfish. That's why they were sent off toward the Bismarck. Get in, drop your torpedoes and hopefully score enough good hits to either sink or cripple the ship.

I'm not so much glorifying the Swordfish as I am the people who flew them. And yes, the rudder hit *was* a lucky hit scored out of a tactical mistake on Admiral Lutjens part, but by no means the only hit scored on the Bismarck by a Swordfish; it was just the hit that mattered the most. Without...

Something I've been pondering for some time now. We know that Wing Commander was described (by Chris Robers, I think) as "WWII in space." Thus, I have been thinking of what kind of planes would have inspired game designers as they were creating the ships we know and love today. Don't ask me why...

But you don't have to be a member to read, do you?

Compared to one another, it almost looks like conceptual art or something. Very impressive when compared to the original.

Does anyone know if the crewmember's shirts worn under their flight suit in WC3 read: "TCS VICTORY" or "T.C.S. VICTORY"? I am going to make a shirt on Cafe Press, and I can't seem to tell from the video on the game.

Dang. I thought this thread was current.

I may not know art, but I know what I like! The only thing I hated about the Epee was how stinking hard it was to hit an enemy one!

No, you guys have it right. My friend and I figured out this problem last night. We came to the conclusion that my browser was trying to render too many images at once, and thus had problems with some of them. When I re-loaded the page to try and correct it, it was re-loading cached copies of...

I am running into a problem more and more frequently as of late, and wondered if anyone here can help me out. As I keep working on the page, I keep hitting Angelfire's "preview" button to look at it, instead of just visiting the page through my browser, since that increases the number of page...

To be clear, do you want a color version of the JPEG you posted? It's a pretty low-grade image, and the attempts you made previously seem to look as good as anything I could whip up. Why the change?

I have one of those weekends quite often, what with me finally moving forward on the Wing Commander Project. Fun fun!:D
