    Thoughts on new Star Trek movie (*spoilers!*)

    I was kind of hoping to see someone get vaporized. In the old series, they had that great cheesy green vaporization effect for the phasers. Instead, the phaser fight on the mining ship just ended up looking like any generic science fiction gun battle. I seem to remember an early plot point...

    Thoughts on new Star Trek movie (*spoilers!*)

    That makes sense. The Borg were fans of designs that incorporated massive wastes of space. Nero's ship, like the Scimitar from the Star Trek Nemesis, were designed to look enormously scary. While I think the mining ship was leaps and bounds cooler than the Scimitar (which looked like a...

    Thoughts on new Star Trek movie (*spoilers!*)

    I didn't care for it much. To me, it felt like a bad action film with a few nods to Trek. Many of the crew introductions seemed forced, and the whole incident with Spock stranding Kirk only to find Scotty was ridiculous. I realize this is a successful reboot of Trek, and a way to introduce it...

    Armchair Quarterbacking

    What does the Wing Commander community think Confed's biggest mistake was during the Kilrathi War? Could it be the signing of the False Armistice or the funding of the Behemoth? Perhaps the waste of resources and personnel during the Repleetah campaigns. Or maybe the treatment of the Border...

    SWC Tiger's Claw

    ...or that the Kilrathi incorporated the weapon into another class of ship. Those four forward prongs on the 22,000km dreadnought may very well be a Sivar-type weapon.

    Jazz vs. Seether

    I know Hawk said that he first met Seether on a ship or flight school, but it was never explicitly stated to be the Claw. In fact, I don't think we find out that Hawk was on the Claw until Prophecy (it was used to draw the connection to Iceman, and thus, to Casey).

    SWC Tiger's Claw

    If the launch tubes in the front, do we know where a recovery bay may be housed?

    SWC Tiger's Claw

    Where do the fighters launch and land on the Armada Lexington? I don't see any fighter access point.

    Anybody have any screen shots of either carrier?

    SWC Tiger's Claw

    Wow! It took me this long, but I just got the Scotty reference.

    SWC Tiger's Claw

    I know it is Green (SWC version), but I thought there were differences in engine layout as well. One of them also has launch tubes mounted on the side, the other has a forward bay (I think).

    SWC Tiger's Claw

    Could anyone list or show the precise differences between the SWC Tiger's Claw and the WC Armada Lexington? I know that the CG model is similar but there are some major differences in launch/landing spaces. Thanks

    Battlecruisers

    It may very well have been. Although, the Project Omega ship was supposedly proof against medium-yield (?) torpedoes. The Behemoth was most certainly not invulnerable to torpedo fire. For all we know, the Omega may have been prototype or predecessor to the Plunckett class Heavy Artillery Cruiser.

    Battlecruisers

    I would imagine that the Battle Cruisers have some sort of navigational deflector. Star*Soldier's reference to their lack of shielding probably just means that they don't equip phase shields as a defensive feature. They most likely have some sort of force field system to provide for inertia...

    Battlecruisers

    Did not the Project Omega Dreadnought-class Battleship referenced in Fleet Action lack shields? In an environment where heavy weapons such as torpedoes and antimatter guns completely bypassed shields, and lighter fighter-based guns could cause little damage to tungsten, isometal, or platolum...

    Beautiful render Klavs81. Your Concordia just became my desktop background for the day. Thanks!

    TCN/ TCSN

    Hi everyone! I was just going over the Star*Soldier manual and saw something very interesting that I have not before noticed. The manual references both the TCN (Navy) and the TCSN (Space Navy). While this is easily explained in that the TCSN was the service that the player belonged to in...

    WC4 Mod For Homeworld 2 In The Works (June 5, 2006)

    Thanks czacen! The new Concordia class looks really close to the WCIV cut-scenes model. I have just a quick question for you. The graphics card on my laptop is way out of date and creeps to a halt when loading the ornate HW2 backgrounds. Do you have a plain, black starfield background, or...
