Which might also mean their fighters/ships are more advanced if they can buy Confed's older craft. As for repair facilities, unknown and non-existent are very differant things. Logically, the more manpower and resources you have, the better you can do that sort of thing. As for ship...

I don't think the Border Worlds could mass produce the Dragon. Hell, Confed couldn't mass produce the Dragon. :D A lot would depend on when this fight takes palce. If it was in the immediate post False Colors/WC4 era, then it would be the Landreich at a canter. they've got more ships, better...

I agree, it is speculative, but that's what makes it fun. :D The other thing to consider is whether there was a war between Confed and the Landreich post False Colors, as was planned in the original trilogy. If the Landreich had won, the war spending might have kick started their military quite...

Well, you get only one kill added to your killscore regardless of whether you dust a Remora or a Tiamat. I guess the same rule applies to planets. :D Best, Raptor

I would have to go with the Wasp dust cannon. Not much damage, but superb refire, so yoiu inflict a whole of damage per second. Best, Raptor

It's more a case of history looking favourably on who was telling the truth. By defeating the Vesuvius, the Border Worlders hadn't defeated Confed by a very long chalk, or the military power that Tolwyn could command. If the Confed Senate had believed the Border Worlders were aggressors who had...

I never claimed that the Border Worlders were saints. I said that what they were doing was nowhere near the level of what the Black Lance were doing. The Border Worlders fought for their interests, of course, (there are very few countries that don't) and in the process they helped save Confed's...

Yes, because eliminating two of the four Dragon squadrons at Speradon went a heck of long way towards beating the Black Lance, and capturing a squadron of them actually gave the Blair and the Border Worlders a fighting chance they wouldn't have had with their Sabres and Rapiers. Not to mention...

I see your point, Ladiesman. Blair and the Border Worlders fighting Confeds to protect themselves after a Confed based group attacked them is pretty much the same thing as what the Black lance did. Similarly, what the Americans are doing in attacking Afghanistan after a an Afghanistan based...

And that, as Wilford himself said, was one of the more phyrric victories of that campiagn. Without the Lances, the Princetown and the Flashpaks though, could the Intrepid bunch have stopped the Project? PS: Where did I say the Confed pilots deserved to die? I said it was sad that they had to...

You're right. Taking down fighter pilots in combat who are trying to kill you and your shipmates is morally the same thing as using bio-weapons that are designed for genocide. :rolleyes: Like it or not, Confed was in the wrong in WC4. The line pilots might not have known it, but they were...

Which made roasting their Master Race hides over the next few missions all the more fun. :D I guess they justified what they were doing by telling themselves that the people who died were genetic dregs anyway, or that they were "just following orders", or whatever. Best, Raptor

Confed Intelligence (finding out the enemy's secrets) was quite good. OTH, Confed's counter-intelligence (detecting spies and treasonous activities) did let quite a few slip through, including Tolwyn, Hobbes, foreign Minister Jamieson's co-operation with the Kilrathi, Jazz and Minx, ect...

I agree. (Bet you thought you would never hear me say that, did you? :D ) The Border Worlders were pretty the scapegoats. Tolwyn needed someone reasonably threatening to create a war with, but not threatening enough to do serious damage to the Black Lance, and the Border Worlds happened to fit...

Well, to take your own definition, waging war against your country is treason. A war can be instigated within a country as well as from the outside. I would call the deadly attacks on Confed fighter pilots, the destruction of Confed supply depot, the murder of Confed civilians, instigating a...

No one knows for sure. ConFleet does seenm to be in charge of the Defending the Border Worlds reigon in WC:P, but whether the Border Worlds have a military of their own isn't mentioned. Hawk might imply there was when he said "I should have stayed in the BW- at least we knew who the enemy was"...

The trouble with this line of reasoning is that it can be used as a defence by anyone who tries to impose an idealogy on the rest of their country by force, no matter how small a minority they are, how undemocratic their goals, or how violent their methords, or who act against their countrymen...

Hey, Peters is inspiring. The only trouble is, he's inspiring the idiots and the rednecks. :D Best, Raptor

They're not going to improve things for the majority of Confed citizens though, who will end up dead in their purges, seeing that they're the "genetic dregs" as Tolwyn called them. They're trying to improve things for the minority who fit their master race profile. That's like one of us plotting...

That's not the same thing as wanting to kill him though, which is the case with all the others. Flash is an obnoxious kid, not a blood enemy. Best, Raptor
