I'm not saying that there aren't such things as superior pilots, I'm saying that we shouldn't even have been able to get through their shields. If they were that far ahead of us, it should have been like a kid with a slingshot against a tank.

Hari? The Hari never offered to share their tech with the Cats. They just went from world to world, consuming resources. It was the Shata, then the Utara, who offered the Cats technology. (I am operating on the assumption that the Shata and Utara were two different species, one that gave the...

To some extent I agree with you, LOAF. Though it has been a while since I played the game, I do recall that their missiles were rather better than ours, and we adopted them as the ELRIR. But that is a matter of a few years development. If they were so much more advanced, we shouldn't have...

There is, however, a rather fanciful fanfic out there that has the Steltek returning and trying to conquer Confed/Kilrathi space several hundred years after Privateer 2.

It would fit with the idea that the Nephilim, or, perhaps more accurately, their masters, were the star gods, who put the Cats on the path of warfare and slaughter that they have followed for thousands of years. It also could be that the Nephilim are considerably younger than the so-called star...

Arrogance is one of the greatest factors in such defeats. Basically, we figured we could never be attacked, and it came around and bit us in the ass. Kind of like now...

Quarto, actually, Pearl Harbor was considered a victory for the Japanese. They pulled out because they had hit everything in the harbor there was to hit. When you lose twenty-seven planes and five midget subs for several hundred American planes, fourteen warships sunk or heavily damaged, and...

Not to mention that they did win, technically. The attack was a success. Unfortunately for the Japanese, it really, really made us mad. After that, it was only a matter of time.

Like I said, it was in Freedom Flight. As far as I know, it wasn't in the game. Hunter went on a flaming bender on Firekka, and got recalled to the Claw preparatory to intercepting the Ras Nik'hra.

I guess I never got any new descriptions of how the "professional sadists," as Hunter called them, sobered up the drunks. As for the question about the green goop, read Freedom Flight.

I think you are thinking of the green goop. Which came after three injections, a little north of the right thigh...

I don't see it. (the Fralthi, that is.)

Bull. It was one of the top strategic blunders of the war. Admiral Yamamoto warned against it, saying, truthfully, that it would only "awaken the sleeping giant." He told the reigning militarists that "If there is war with America, I will run wild for a year. After that, I can promise...

That's what I've heard, and that is why I refuse to see it. It is an insult to the men who were killed in the attack.

Again, and how many times must this be said, the Star Wars novels are official in that they are licensed by Lucasfilm, but they are NOT canon. In Episode I alone, Lucas invalidated half of them, and in Episode II, he will most likely nail the other half. The books are not, never have been, and...

Well, I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you... ;)

No, they are not. Lucas has said so.

Anybody have any tips for fighting Hriss in SM2?

By the way, where is the SWC script? I went looking for it and couldn't find it.

Nobody knows much about them, except that they communicate through some sort of phermonal interaction, and anyone who has tried to communicate with them has gotten their brain fried. They are rather mysterious.
