Your transwarp comparison doesn't work since Transwarp was never done in TOS or the movies. The Excelsior (Sp?) was called the "Great Experiment". And it failed. Transwarp was determined not to be possible. And still was not around 70 years later.

actually DirectX 8a is for Win 9x/Me to, it runs fine on my comp.

JMS just didn't decide that he would do 5 seasons. The story was only ever supposed to be 5 seasons (or in show time, 5 years longs). The only episode that really takes place outside of that time frame (excepting the one where JMS shows that he has indeed outlined the next million years for the...

Crusade's later episodes were pretty good, the problem was TNT would not let him do the show like he wanted to, kept forcing changes on him. Read some essays by Harlan Ellison or JMS to see just how stupid exec's are. http://www.psycomic.com/columns/2000/jstraczynski/20010108jstraczynski.shtml...

The possibly new series may take place anywhere and anywhen as JMS has already stated that he has the thousand years after B5 mapped out, so he can do anything he wants and it will not have Sheridan as a main character, that is for sure. He might have a guest appearence though. I won't say more...

Cloak for the trench run, makes life much easier

The most effective way to defend your carrier to find any ship nearby capable of bombing and have you wingman attack it. Then find another nearby bomber and take it out yourself. I rarely have problems with assualt forces then, because even if my wingman don't take out the bomber, they usually...

All the ships die if you sneeze at them except the Devil Rays.

It's getting such a good response that SCIFI is in talks with JMS for a new series or movie as well as Crusade reruns. B5 is actually far from pessimestic if you really look at it. Hope survives. And DS9's war was nothing but a pathetic rip off from Babylon 5 because they were taking too much...

Azreal: The Dragons are hard to kill for a very good reason. Actually the talk about best ships got me in a WC playing mood so I started up WCP:SO and I've got to say that the Vampire does kick some butt but is almost too powerful against the bugs unless you are going against Devil Rays. The...

My favorite ship would have to be the Excalibur, as it could seriously kick some butt. I never cared for the ships too much in WCP and especially SO because they were just too good and the enemies ships were far too weak in comparison. But flying the excalibur was always a treat in WC3, I also...

The Queen is simply a figurehead and has no real power in Great Britain.

LOAF: I'm not the one who said that little tidbit of not true info. At least bother to pay attention. And you a re correct about the dogfights, been checking around on that one. But true dogfights were the exception not the rule. And my point about the missiles is this, the range is only going...

Yes, and guess what? 100 years ago there were no smart weapons. Nothing beats a human hunh? Tell that to Deep Blue. We are only beginning to truly develop computer technology and we already have developed computer AI (that truly learns and adapts itself - granted on a scale far less than a dog...

Ah, see, you're confusing a game with reality. A computer games AI is only as good as its programmers make it, and considering computer games AI, most of them suck. Very few games have good enough AI because on the harder levels it doesn't change anything most of the time except to make you...

Please, Please Dragon, just look over your posts to at least clear up the glaring typos. And depending on how far in the future you are talking about you are right. Right now, drones are limited to spy work, but I was more talking about around WC time, which is 700 years from now. There are only...

It's simply a matter of biological limits. Computers can already outpace us in so many matter and there is a limit to how fast you can get a human to reach (even after modification). We already have planes that MUST have computer controls to fly. It's just a matter of how much a human can do.

But drones that far in the future should be able to match anything that a human could do. There is not a single bit of reason why a drone ship couldn't match a human ship in battle and win simply because it could easily outmanuever the human ship (Of course, this would make WC really boring)

Ummm, I don't know what you are talking about but NO dogfights took place during the Gulf War. All kills at least by the US were radar kills. They picked up the enemy aircraft on radar, locked on, and fired away. The poor bastards never even saw the plane that shot them down. The only craft that...

Radar and far more sensor equipment will be developed in the future, we're getting better at this all the time. Modern jet battles take place at ranges of well over 50 miles. This trend is only going to get larger and the problem with taking down missles is the effectiveness of missles vs...
