Shades of "Patterns of Force". :D

Yes! I knew I saw them somewhere. Plus I just found this super cool Excal entry in the CIC's Encyclopedia! There's an interesting discussion going on right now in "Anyone not like the books?" pretaining to production/destruction of fighters during the Kilrathi War. Some of the numbers...

WC: Unknown Enemy is a terrific take on the "medley" of ships in the service of the Border Worlds in the post-Kilrathi War era. Flying a Scimitar again was a real treat, and the Bengal Class Carrier never looked so good. I do believe that the Excal was in Prophecy or SO (I think the latter...

Welcome Tyvar. That's along the lines of my original question, and certainly Confed would have sold a lot of their older fighters to the Border Worlds and other organizations after the Kilrathi War. Max Kruger bought a bunch of ships for the Landreich in Fleet Action, for example. Since...

The six-episode "miniseries" to start off season 6 was amazing (7 if you count the season 5 finale). I was glued to the TV every Saturday night during that stretch.

Hey I stumbled on this yesterday Googling a WC image search: http://www.freunde.de/shop/product_info.php?products_id=134 It reminded me of that thread several months ago about the various German cover differences, and I seem to recall some question as to whether this book contained the...

I've always assumed that in the Wing Commander universe, the Marines and the Army are a single force. It makes sense, as the US Marines are a land attack unit of the US Navy, and traditionally are engaged in beach landings, while the Army is more focused on traditional ground-based assault...

Ugh, that totally sucks, since you can't boot current models in OS9. Thanks for the info, perhaps I'll look into picking up an older PowerMac to satisfy my curiosity.

I'm now up and running too. Much thanks gulikoza. Gulikoza...the patron Saint of Wing Commander IV. It has a nice ring to it. :D

Nonsense. There was never really a large-scale war during the TNG series, excluding the abbreviated conflicts like the Borg invasion and the Klingon Civil War. Even then, they didn't drive the plot show after show. Granted, I loved DS9, and IMO the Dominion conflict made the show great, but...

I seem to recall an excellent example of this in the WC3 novelization...and I loved the T-bolt's full guns. As long as you're accurate, just about any other class of fighter doesn't stand a chance.

Well, yes and no. My edition states that the authors stuck as strictly as possible to the episodes and movies, while disreagrding other publications for consistency reasons. In Spock's entry, the authors specifically mention speculation on the date he entered Starfleet, so I guess it's just...

LMAO! This totally reminds me of the trailer I just saw for Mega64.

I did some web browsing on the subject, and the concensus is no. Conversations between Spock and Sarek in "Journey to Babel" and Star Trek IV only hint at it, but no one ever actually says it. There may have been mention to it in one or two of the endless novels, although his status is canon...

EST is -5. -RedDuke

Well, whether or not you want to get that technical about T'Pol's circumstance, it still feels wrong to me. Captain Jelico was the best thing that ever happened to TNG: He made Troi wear a real uniform. Then the producers stuck with it. My feeling on the uniforms(T'Pol's catsuit...

*irony lost* "Intensity" I believe it was called. I agree - quite funny.
