The Fralthi II wreck in WC: (and the comment "This is what a concentrated plasma burst can do to a *fleet*) suggests the Kilrathi still have some war fighting capability around WC:P. The Assembly of Clans also has as many systems as Confed. Best, Raptor

There's nothing so good that it can't be made better, though. :p If nothing else, I would want more missiles. Alternately, the ability to fit differant kinds of weaponary (rocket pods, torps, missiles) on the big hardpoints like you can with modern aircraft. Best,. Raptor

While I agree that the BW probably wouldn't use the flashpaks (too many associations with the Black Lance, like you say), is burning someone to death really any more horrible than blasting their hull open and making them suck vacuum? Best, Raptor

Capital ship combat ability seems to be much more important for carriers in WC than in real life. We've seen far too many cases of carriers slugging it out with other capital ships (virtually every game, in fact, as well as quite a few of the novels) to put it all down to incompetent captains...

Heh. I see the Vindicator Cult is alive and well. :D Seriously, I would like to see an upgraded Vindicator as either a fighter bomber (link the tachs and stormfires up front, switch the lasers to the rear turret, more armour) or as a jack of all trades medium fighter (better performance, maybe...

Tolwyn confirms this in the novel, during his speech to the Black Lance. The Gen-Select was to be "sown on worlds on both sides of the conflict throughout the human hegemony." (And of course, there's the method of killing- it kills those who don't meet a specified genetic profile rather than...

Just as long as you don't drop the Vindicator. The Vindicator Cult has a long reach and a longer memory. :D Seriously, Eder, if you need any further HTL stuff for creating your designs (pictures, stats, backstory for the designs), just drop me a line. Best, Raptor

Hmmmmm. How much would I have to pay you to name that baby the Retaliator? :D Seriously, I can't wait to see what you guys come up with for UE2. A good mod is all the better when its made by fellow Border Worlds fanatics. Best, Raptor

I don't think the cats won Repleetah, actually. According the VS, the final Marine action lead by Lieutenant Miles D'Darby ends with no survivours on either side. Best, Raptor

Re: Text Odd, I find the opposite. Maybe it *is* time I made an appointment with the optermetrist. :) What's the general consensus around here? Is the print too large? Best, Raptor

Heh. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy. :D Best, Raptor

That depends on what kind of treatment he would get when he was captured. Keep in mind that Seether had already executed a captured Border Worlds pilot on the Lexington, and Marines launching from the Lex had executed the medical staff on Tyr when they took Dr Brody. I imagine Paulson thought it...

Which would you prefer though: the *possibility* of cancer (which isn't always a death sentence even in the 20th century, let alone the 27th) or getting blown to bits there and then? PS: Aries, blowing up an entire carrier to get rid of one jerk is a little excessive, don't you think? :D...

Re: Don't worry No worries. I know real life has to take precedence over online stuff. Best, Raptor

Is Tolwyn is a non-pilot character though? We know he was a pilot in his early career, and he was still able to fly when he was a Commodore in WCA. My favorites would be General Grecko, Eisen and Sparks, in no particular order. Best, Raptor

Well, it's a question of keeping people happy and not treading on any toes. :) Neo's currently been out of touch for a while (which is the reason the main Archive site hasn't been updated in a while- the way we planned to do it was that he would write up new pages and send them to me to upload)...

Hey all, Raptor here. As I said in the other thread, our main archives haven't been updated in a while, and hence we had to stop publishing chapters here at the CIC. I've put together a new archive site though, that holds all published chapters which aren't at the main site. That'll let those...

Re: I have a question Av's busy with a lot of things in real life, including his upcoming wedding. Plus he likes the freedom to chip in stories or write independant storylines, without being tied into a "regular" writing slot. As for more chapters from him, he's already written another one...

I just got into the simulators and the first mission (work kept me away till now) and I've only got one reaction: You guys rock :D Loved the graphics, music, ships, the works. I've also put the word out on the Aces list, so casual fans who don't visit the CIc will also know about it. Best, Raptor

Hey all, Raptor here. I'm sure that you've noticed there haven't been any HTL chapters posted at the CIC for the last month, in which time we've sent out three chapters via the Aces mailing list. The reason is that the HTL archives, which we normally link to the CIC, haven't been updated in a...
