    Dallas wasn't a wuss...he offered his 100% (And more...) He just...sucked. Badly. And then he died.

    A discussion on the true nature of the Nephilim

    There's no indication that they have superior numbers than we do. They might have, and that would explain a bit, but we didn't see the Confed fleet defend Earth in the loosing endgame... And, there's also no indication that the Nephilim opened another wormhole. There was only one, the...

    WC Science 101

    No, it won't. When the sun becomes a red giant, one of two things will happen - the sun will engulf the planet in it's flaming nuclear maw, or the Earth will suddenly have an orbit much closer to the sun, turning the surface into a baked nuclear hellhole (like Mercury, but...redder). And...

    Wing Commander Academy

    Jump point transitions are, according to equipment, instantaneous...a person's own senses say otherwise. From what the novels basically indicate, you "feeze" during the transition, and the starfield outside swirls like in WC4. It takes about 6-10 seconds according to your senses, and you get...

    No, they cause more breaches... "Any high-velocity, jacketed rounds will result in your getting torn apart."

    Fleets

    Oops. My bad... Well, second-stars still command fleets.

    Fleets

    Second-star admirals command Fleets. Admiral Petranova commanded the 3rd Fleet at the time of WC4, Admiral Terell the 10th Fleet.

    Apparently, fusion is feasible in the 26XX's. Mind you, that's, what? Six hundred years from now? M/Am reactions are what power the starships. Miniaturized M/Am reactors power some of the highly specialized fighters (First generation Excals and Dragon/Lances), but for the most part...

    Yeah, what are the Paradigms? Hmm...so, if I was a captain, would getting to command a destroyer be considered a worse command than getting to command a carrier? And what are the differences between the types of carrier (escort, fleet, light, heavy)?

    Whatcha think...?

    Dude, that's nothing...whenever a new Final Fantasy comes out, I pull a all-and a half-nighter...I fall asleep in class the next day, and I look miserable for about 2 weeks, but I beat the damn game. It's a good life.

    A discussion on the true nature of the Nephilim

    No, that'd be an interplanetary war. Planetary wars are confined to on planet. Interplanetar wars are confined to one system. Interstellar wars are confined to a bunch of systems. Intergalactic is confined to one galaxy. And intercluster is confined to one supercluster. Yes, the last one...

    Weird but interesting.

    The St. Helens would blow up, and cause about 1 casualty (besides that of it's crew...). The Vesuvius would fall through the atmosphere and cover some town :). LOAF, what's the list of the Vesuvius-class supercarriers? How many were there supposed to be, 10?

    A discussion on the true nature of the Nephilim

    Building a wormhole. The science vessels were meant to constuct the Proxima Stellar Accretion Device. In this case, the good doctor's assumptions were correct...the aliens were building the Proxima SAD to take advantage of Proxima Centauri's binary star system. And as for what they...

    Weird but interesting.

    No, it's just Vesuvius...but Mt. St. Helens is actually called "Mount" There ought to be one called Krakatoa...

    Who was Lt. Jack Slayton? (SO Question)

    There's a complete list of all the pilots on the Midway in the Prophecy Guide... There's a minimum amount of pilots you can reach? Sometimes, Goblin would die in a mission, then come back in the next. Maybe it was a bug or something...

    A discussion on the true nature of the Nephilim

    No, they're breaking them up into 8 episodes, plus 4 others and a musical (hopefully like the "Penzance-esque" one at the end of the 3rd Season..."The ReBoot Recap song"), for a total of 13 episodes. There's a "real chance" that it can become 26 episodes, according to Mainframe, so...

    Yeah, Dralthi convertibles...they didn't have tops... :) There's a good quote on the Terran Confederation of Engineers page...everyone I know either loves or hates the Scrimitar. But, yes, it is ugly. I wish Unknown Enemy had picked a better ship...

    behemoth

    That'd be a sight. 15,000 energy beams crisscrossing on your location...you wouldn't be vaporized, your consituent atoms would be torn apart. You can tell that the Tiamat's petals bend, since they're all grouped together when it begins to come through the wormhole...

    A discussion on the true nature of the Nephilim

    That's true. Probably because they were no longer censored by "BSnP" ABC's Broadcast Standards and Practices. I enjoyed the part in World Web Wars, after the producers found out that ABC didn't renew them... "I say! It's the ABC's! They've turned on us!" "Treacherous dogs!" Season 4...

    A discussion on the true nature of the Nephilim

    TC gets a cookie. Gillian Anderson's appearence was pretty funny. I didn't like Seasons One and Two (they had their moments, though) and World Web Wars was, for me, the best part of it. Season Three was great, though. Enzo the guardian, Matrix the renegade, the enhancement of the...
