    Elite Carrier Wing

    The morning star is a superfighter though. The mace is a thermonuclear weapon right, if it is, why would it by more powerful than an anti-matter torpedo, that type is supposed to be the most destructive thing known isn't it

    Destroying the Vesuvius's turrets in WCIV

    The concordia actually uses the PTC in WC2, against a Fralthra, I never actually tried to fight in between the two ships. I am not a big a fan of friendly fire.

    BattleTech is a bad game -- don't buy it

    I remember on my first Battletech boxset, it said "the funnest thing since the invention of dice" I have the mechwarrior game too, 2nd and 3rd edition, and I am not a big fan of the rules. Battletech can be fun however, there is alot more conflict in the inner sphere, which allows for more...

    The Battlestar Galactica Thread

    The galactica in the new series is what around forty years. The original series it was what five hundred yarens (or whatever they used). The mentioned the age of the galactica in "message from earth". (or at least I think that is the episode name) Overall I liked the new mini-series, the...

    Destroying the Vesuvius's turrets in WCIV

    You would think they would be mounted on the "spikey thingies" (god I can believe I just used that), for better firing arc, it usually isn't a good idea to have a gun that can only shoot in one arc when you are that large. Unless you are the space battleship Yamato, or SDF-1, but they have a...

    Elite Carrier Wing

    I guess the only way you can dicern it is "wing" means the current element (what your mission is), while an actual wing, why the "Flight Wing" is what makes up the squadrons of the ships, probably between three and five squadrons. It would make it alot easier if the games and fiction can...

    Why didn't Confed fight the Kilrathi more intelligently?

    I was hit by torpedo in WC2, I think I was in a broadsword and I was flying in to do a bombing run, it was a Ralari, cause it kept flying at me so I couldn't just hold out of it's range and wait for the lock. I had to slow down cause I had missed timed the run, and I launched my torpedo, and...

    BattleTech is a bad game -- don't buy it

    The problem with a game of battletech, is that it takes forever, hours and hours of gameplay on the hexboard. Interestingly enough, the fiction is not all that bad, dealing with the clan wars and such. My friends and I have a visual image. Just picture two giant metal guys shooting at each...

    The Battlestar Galactica Thread

    I could have sworn it said William Adama "Husher" All in all I liked it, it had it's downsides, for me it was the score, it just didn't add to the drama, the drums and stuff weren't bad, but they didn't have enough variety. Apollo is kinda a bitch though isn't he? Gets messed up like...

    Destroying the Vesuvius's turrets in WCIV

    Bandit, with your impressive knowledge of all things WC and your impressive tactical knowledge, I would never think I would hear you call something "spikey things" Almost lets me believe you are just one of us j/k lol

    Elite Carrier Wing

    Even Special Operations is a unit with limited scope. Fighter pilots should generally be considered "Elite", with the amount of training they need to fly. I could understand an elite fighter wing, on a smaller carrier, if you wanted to have a ship choices you have a selection. The only...

    Why didn't Confed fight the Kilrathi more intelligently?

    And I was just stating the facts lol. I guess I just missed the tone of your voice.

    (W)holy crap

    For FF fans, we are gonna get the hour long short with Cloud, and someone who appears to be Sephiroth. I am pretty hyped up about that. Final Fantasy the Movie would have been better if they just called it Spirits Within. How about "Santa with Muscles" with Hulk Hogan, pretty bad

    Best movie quote

    When I run my Star Wars RPG, I usually have the players say I got a bad feeling about this on cue, it is pretty handy,and funny lol.

    Anyone here like D&D

    My rules are a little on the basic side, I kind of eschewed the heavier elements of warfare for a simpler approach. I am sure with a group of players that I could play test it, it would turn into a more advanced game.

    Destroying the Vesuvius's turrets in WCIV

    Well having a super invincible carrier that is easily destroyed does kind of defeat the definition of Super Carrier though lol.

    Halcyon even said it in WC1. Sending the rookies out with veterans.

    Why didn't Confed fight the Kilrathi more intelligently?

    Hey, the lightning gun was done too, in the same comic with the Galaxy Gun. Solo blasts Slave 1 with it lol.

    Why didn't Confed fight the Kilrathi more intelligently?

    There is a button combination in WC1 that causes all ships on screen to blow up isn't there? I always thought that capital ships should be able to take more hits than what the game has them. Maybe it would be better if WC3 and 4 and even WCP if the game AI was better at destroying torpedoes...
