I won't argue with you there. YOu are very most likely right about Sparta, I think I'm getting confused with the fact that while women did have greater status there than just about anywhere else at that time, that didn't mean they could vote. And yes it is bribery. Unfort. the only guy that...

I see it as more of a secret mission type addon, thats why it's bundled in Prophecy Gold.

And Greece was not a true democracy. No country has ever had a true democracy. America, like the Greeks of long ago were a Republic. First of all, Citizens were only rich males, women nor slaves got to vote (except for maybe Sparta, I think women could vote there but I may be wrong). A true...

Actually, inertia becomes greater the faster once accelerates towards the speed of light. As one approaches the speed of light, mass approaches infinity (on a logorithmic scale). So that as you get closer to light speed, your mass increases so you need more energy to overcome inertia...

I like that :)

Considering that WC6 or WCP2 or P3 will not be released or made for at least 2 years at the very earliest (and probably a good deal longer) I think you will have upgraded your computer by then.

Speculation, yes much of it is. But many things in WC are impossible as they have it. Inertial compensators can be possible be made but if their fighters are only fusion powered then they seriously lack the power to manipulate gravity. I can "see" how if you had a M/AM engine you could possible...

DragonMage: Gravity drops off incredibly rapidly as it decreases as a square of distance. The reason our probes are slowing down is because of the sun's gravitational influence. Remember that while traveling through our solar system they used slingshots to greatly increase their speed while...

What I cannot understand is why people act as if the creators of our constituition are holy people today. They were just as flawed and screwed up as any people today, yet we treat them as if they were second only to Jesus. The Bill of Rights is not something that should always be immutable, when...

If you want a Space sim with realistic physics try to find I-War or wait until its sequel comes out later this year. Be warned though, it does take alot of getting used to.

RFBurns, you are seriously forgetting several space games. But first to physics. First of all, in any of the WC games the physics are laughable (In respect to realism, not fun though which is actually more important). Inertia is barely dealt with in WC games at best and the fact that you have to...

Flight games should let you save during them, or at least long missions. IW's biggest flaws were tough and very long missions with no way to save. Long Missions can be great but you should be able to save at each Nav point at least for longer missions.

Yeah, the Leech cannon should actually be called an EMP cannon.

Yeah, why, I don't disrespect Christianity at all. The Ideals behind it are admirable. Unfort, I'd say well over 95% of "Christians" don't even come close to the way of life Jesus set for everyone. People are just too judgemental and filled with hate. Don't confuse any Right-winger who calls...

Your welcome to email it to me if you want. And I do understand what Christmas is about. It's just 99% of the population think Christmas was always the celebration of Jesus Birth and it was not. Though not Christian I understand what it originally stood for, though now it is a hopeless...

I can give you what Christmas is about. See when the Romans decided to make Christianity the official religion, there was a problem. There was this wild fun pagan holiday that everybody just about celebrated, Christians included. This both teed off the Church and the Emperor. They decreed that...

The reason humans are so much more mentally developed is because they are helpless and the neural pathways are not fully formed until they are almost 8-10 years old. Animals that don't need parents cannot adapt easily since their neural pathways are already fully formed. Mental Development in...

Yes, but Kilrathi Tech and ships have for the most part always been of lesser quality so that doesnt exactly count.

The movie was really good for a scifi film of 27 million. In fact, the only other scifi film of low budget that came out recently that I enjoyed was Pitch Black. For a major movie release though the movie was only average. It had good points and some really bad ones, but for a first directorial...

Well, I started my Wing Commander days (WC1 in fact) with a highly advanced Gamestick. This untra efficent controller had a small stick with TWO buttons. Plus its base was so small I had to hold it in my hands and use my left pinky to hit buttons on the keyboard. Until very recently I have been...
