I remember reading about the Farady Rebellion and Harold Jarvis, but a date is never given. And Harold Jarvis is only mentioned as being a great leader, in the vein of Cincinnatus or Washington, in the early twenty-first century. The circumstances are potentially numerous and idoes not...

A war in 2000? I do not recall ever reading about this, either. It probably has no basis in fact, or it was made up. I do not think a war is ever mentioned.

Yeah ... I don't think the Kilrathi are "evil." They are simply a predatory society that is bent on conquest. The only difference I see between the Cats and Japan is that in Japan there were lots of civilians that did not want a war and were simply victims of the government (of course Confed was...

I'm sure that the majority of civilians on Kilrah supported the war. They are a predatory society that is quite different from ours. Most of them would probably want to join the military if they could anyways. That does not change anything, but a civilian that is just a bystander and wants no...

But the shields on the capital ships in Wc4, and probably after that, recharged so quickly when compared to Star Trek shields that there really is not much point in additional armor.

Well, durasteel is not durasteel. Alloying the metal would likely increse the tensile, but lower the melting point. So the armor could be a mix of a ficticious tungsten alloy, a ceramic material (to increase melting point), or neither (made up material). It probably is a mix of purely made-up...

It is quite correct that in none of those episodes the death was not the main focus. But the crew has been in so many adventures and faced so many various circumstances (including death) that when they try to focus on an issue like death, seriously, it does not come off strongly, however. It is...

Correct. It has the highest melting point of any element. That is not saying much when compared to numerous alloys and various synthetic constructs, however. The armor is probably loosely based on tunsten in some way, but only an idiot would believe that the element tungsten, itself, is what the...

Yeah ... and what about the people who spend time creating a list of drinks for a fictional universe, or people who have redundant copies of the same product in various forms. :) As for Star Trek, lots of main characters have died ... only to come back later. Here is a sampling: Picard --...

Bingo. Thats what I meant to say by modify. Since if it was pure tungsten, it would have some very specific properties that would make it pretty weak. A melting point in the 3000 range is going to melt fast. The armor is certainly some kind of alloy. That is why the fact that it is twenty...

Tungsten is also used in making steel itself. That is why this is probably a very different and modified material.

If you want to believe that their form of Tungsten is exactly the same as it is today, or that it is used in its raw form, then there is no problem. But there is no reason why this metal could not have been modified in some way, especially considering the fact that this is in the distant future...

Prince Murragh (sp?) was the heir. If this had been real, destroying Ella would have been a fiasco. Of course the end plays the same either way, but in real life it would have been very bad for Blair's case. Blair is trying to expose Tolwyn and convince the Assembly not to go to war. I do...

Darkness does not neccessarily mean that more people die in the franchise; the darkness is more a tone and general feel. One of the good things about Wing is that people die. Lots of them. And when they die, they die. Everyone gets resurrected in Star trek, so death is fairly trivial. Quite a...

Durasteel is pretty much a completely fictitious substance created in Wing Commander and similar fictional properties. It probably has very little to do with the real thing. As for its properties, who knows. It more than likely is far stronger than any material that we currently possess. It is...

I would like to see a Privateer-esque story, as well. It seems like the majority of the stories I have seen are all military stuff (which isn't bad, but there are other areas write about). I would like to see an Indiana Jones style adventure story set in the frontier of the Confederation...

Nephilim.

The Yan are not human. The Firekkans are mentioned in Action Stations, which poses another minor error. If the Firekkans had already been encountered, I doubt they would already train in the Academies. Interestingly enough, most of these supposed errors in the film were actually created by...

To be honest, if EA decides to do another Wing game, I think that much of it would be reinvented. The Nephilim conflict wouldn't exactly continue the same way as if this extended hiatus did not take place. While we do not know what Origin was planning, a few clues were dropped by Mark Vearrier...

Yes there is a right or wrong. It does not matter weather you blot out a certain product or not, it is still there. That is why it matters. And what major continuity problems are there?
