Re: er... yeah Exactly. There's been some bad blood in the past, but with the pool of writers in the Aces being as small as it is, infighting gets counter-productive. Best, Raptor

Heh. According to the Aces, it was one of the ships that fought in KOM (renamed the Charleston or the Carthage or some such- too long ago for me to remember now) and was decomisioned afterwards. As for the rest of the Arcadia class, the Arcadia herself was in drydock for repairs when it all hit...

Not to mention that the Valeria is the *only* operational fleet carrier the Border Worlds Navy has left. :D We were kind of caught with our pants down when the invasion started. Best, Raptor

Damn, I can hardly wait. A new set of WC combat missions is always good, but the fact that it's set in (and about) the Border Worlds is the icing on the cake. :D PS: When UE is released, I can put out a news release to the Aces (I run the club's mailing list) letting them know about it. If...

Re: Well... Now, now. Let's not start an inter-PBM slanging match, okay? We concentrate on what we're doing, and they can concentrate on what they're doing. Best, Raptor

Well, the thing to keep in mind about KOM was that for 9-12 months or so, absolutely *nothing* happened. To the non Aces, I kid you not. There were no chapters released, no definite idea of how the story was going to proceed, very little activity in the club at all. It was a fiasco any way you...

Re: Vestigal description Something that I would like your feedback on: Doing 're-runs' of the early HTL chapters on the CIC. We started our CIC postings with the 95th chapter, so those who hadn't been following the stroryline until thatpoint had a backlog of nearly a hundred chapters to read at...

Re: Hah! Just out of curiousity, you mean bebut rather than debacle, right? If not, it might be time for the frontier colonists to be very afraid.. Best, Raptor

Re: My opinion... I think we've achieved that balance pretty well in HTL, as well as in the Aces generally. You have Marauders, Retaliators and Jaguars rubbing shoulders with Panthers, Vampires and Avengers, and new ships like the Arcadias being escorted by canon cruisers, frigates and DDs...

Re: Kill 'em all! Heh. Well, seeing as this is the age of equal opportunity, the women have to take their chances with everyone else. :D Best, Raptor

Re: Can't agree more Hoops: You can find the images and stats of the Border Worlds craft at the Battlegroup Valkyrie site. They're listed under the fighter and capship databases. http://homepages.ihug.co.nz/~theraj/battlegroupval/ To find info on the Confed ships and fighters like the...

Oh, it's going to be interesting, alright. Those three girls sound like they're ready to claw each others' eyes out. :) Best, Raptor

Heh. To be honest, I'm glad I didn't know that the project was going to be this big when I started it. I would have run a mile. :) Best, Raptor

I don't bother chasing things in a bomber. I just wait for them to turn around, and charge up the plasma cannons/CMDs in the meantime. Then, once they try to go head to head, I let them have it. Not elegant, but effective. :D Best, Raptor

Hey all, Raptor here One of the things we've done in HTL is integrate fighters and warships created by the Aces Club into the storyline. This allows factions that we've only had brief glimpses in the canon, such as the Border Worlds Union, play a full and active part in the story. On the...

Which is a good incentive to keep up. You know what I do to units that fall behind. :D Best, Raptor

Re: Well, old chap Especially when you consider that the brunnettes always seem to do a lot better than the blondes in all the "Who's the hottest?" type polls around here. :D Of course, just because Kyra is the front-runner doesn't mean she'll be the one for Max. Love works in mysterious...

Beergod: Yep, at sixty chapters long altogether, the Loki arc *is* a little on the long side, but we're into the closing stages now. There are about another 15 chapters to go, in which we wrap up the Tiger Hunt and Forge's story, along with setting up a few other things for the big finale in...

Re: Raptor... is the man! Awww, shucks. :D Best, Raptor

First of all, thanks to everyone who's commented on the storyline. This is exactly the kind of thing I had in mind for this forum. I'll just reply to a few of the points. Beergod: It takes an average of three *months* or more to write a chapter. :D Virtually all of us have full time work...
