The reason I like the leech laser is it adds a little fun to the game, not to mention disable objectives. To be able to knock down an opponent's defenses for the duration of a battle in a very short time span, even tough ships, allows you to engage a large group of ships, weaken the strongest...

Dralthi, got a scan? Q, it's a good thing you didn't, eh? You'd have to stop at sickbay if you had.

It's not the ammo you have to worry about with the Dust Buster, it's your aim. The reason Dusters are impractical for Arrows and Piranhas is that with such thin defenses, it isn't easy to keep a bead on one ship long enough to make up for a small gun capacitor. Now if you put a piar on a...

And I thought this thread would never get a reply... Time limits add a nice element to a mission, which is why I liked the mission I mentioned. Q, you still haven't tried them?

If the gun power is that low, it can't fire a good few seconds. There appear to be a couple copy/paste errors. Let me check the stats and add the Salthi.

On that chart? Hey what do you expect for a two-minute project? I added the significant names.

With some info Justin Lee sent me, I put together a little chart, scaling the ships to the lengths he wrote. Here the Plunkett is 1200m.

See the March 30th news report in the archives.

Lampreys work to interdict enemy missiles and torpedoes. You will see them harass the bombers, but as the shield cannon wasn't fully developed, Lampreys are just some...little insects.

Ah...the good old days, a halcyon time indeed.

Former Colonel Peter Halcyon, later promoted to General If you can't remember the spelling, think Colonel (bird rank insignia) and halcyon (the bird) [This message has been edited by Death's Head (edited August 10, 2000).]

Hey Mr. T. Some of us are working on an add-on to SO at present. If you've ever made custom missions before or have programming experience, we might be able to use ya. Anyway, welcome aboard. P.S., do you "pity the fool"? [This message has been edited by Death's Head (edited August 10...

I guess I'm still one of the few that thinks M/AM was expensive for a fighter around '71. In '81, for all intents and purposes, fighters can make jumps (if not many several before refueling). For all we know they have some smaller, more efficient and cheaper reactor to provide more power while...

Nebulan series frigates carry 24 fighters when not fitted for specialized roles like rescue, medical frigate, ect. Lancers frigates do not carry fighters at all. They can engage a full wing (in Rebellon) and expect to win. Medium and heavy warships make short work or a Lancer in ship to ship...

Aye, lancers have a range of 3.5km last I checked with those Double Empire mounted on the laser towers. In Rebellion, those things can handle a full wing of fighters(72). Modified Frigates are actually well armed, they had 2km Super Empire lasers in XWA(not to be confused with the DS Super...

I believe you can see morays jump in SO.

What's up with Decker having only an average build?? Have you seen the guy?

3 fire-linked topedo shots, maybe. Those Neb-bs arn't too tough, I took one in an A-W. Lancers are the spawn of hell to fighters. Wouldn't it be wonderful if WC capships were so easy to take out?

Look for WCUE to see some Kilrathi. It's another fan project that's expected to be done in the upcomming months.
