Mine has been my callsign since...I dunno, forever! (Even back on BBS "space sim" games!) But Skyfire has always been my callsign for Blair-but I've changed it for Privateer and WC:P. I refuse to allow anyone other than Blair to be so cool as to have the name Skyfire. :D

Yeah, that's their basic interface. Granted, you can use a joystick-which is obviously way better-but that's their basic method. Although I've heard that playing with the mouse isn't as bad as you'd think-I can't see how it would be as good as a joystick.

How can you say that?! If you want, I could give you a list of at least a dozen or two dozen great ones!

Since they were using energy weapons onboard the station in WCIV, I'm guessing they wouldn't use projectiles. As those would puncture the hull, while the energy weapons would be more probable, as they would be less likely to blow a hole into the station/ship.

Wow LOAF, I'm relatively suprised you didn't do the typical "RULZ!" statement that stupid people like that do. (What the hell is that, anyways. I heard it was "dood talk". WTF is that?!)

I'd say that both have relatively equal number of modern/old equipment. (The UBW that's all they had at the time of their forming-but have had time to update/have Confed help by selling off ships. While the Landreich is known for grabbing up just about any- and every-thing that there is...

While I may agree with your production estimates, since this is (assumedly) around WC:P era-the UBW has had a fair amount of time to reconstruct their system. While they may have been on the front lines, and taken quite a beating-that doesn't mean that in the time from the Kilrathi War to...

Goth, industrial, and heavy/death metal-I tell ya, I'm all about those music genre's!

I associated the building of fleets, setting up starbases, etc. (Although I can see your point, Mekt) Any suggestions as to whether I should just jump straight to 2 or play 1 then 2. As I've never played them, I can't really know what comparisons/differences there might be between the two.

Man, and I thought when he took me to see the new Halloween, that was bad! LOL

I'm debating as to whether I should try to get the 2nd one (since it's pretty easy to get) or purchase the 3rd when it comes out. Eh, maybe I'll end up doing both.

I've heard, recently, about this Master of Orion game-sounds kinda like a mix between Civilization/WC Armada. I was actually wondering if anyone has played it before (either the first or second one), as I've only heard a little bit about it, I'd like to know more. Since it sounds like a good...

No, I haven't seen it-but he did, and even he thought that one was bad. :D

That is probably a good point. (Which is disheartening, in a way.) But I suppose I'm one of those people who always sees the old greats as being available. (Even when I know they're not going to be.) Stubborn I suppose. :)

Actually I haven't played that yet. I've played nearly all the Wizardry games, but I've kinda lost contact with it as of recently. (Although you saying that makes me think I should get back into it.)

Did anyone ever play the game Bane of the Cosmic Forge? Or Crusaders of the Darksavant? Those were awsome games! While they might not have had the excellent graphics we do now-and they were quite a bit of fighting, they definately made you think! The Aurora toolset can be kinda annoying, but...

Man, I remember all of the EotB games. At the time, they were one of my favorite games ever. (Of course, BG/BG2 has been put onto that list now, but that's not the point.) Maybe it would help if I wasn't a complete Forgotten Realms nut, as well as being a D&D nut.

That's probably a good point. I guess that'll probably be beefed up quite a bit after the whole fiasco that Tolwyn instigated.

(Hold on, I'll tell you whether I did or not once the heartattack dies down. :) ) I'd tend to concur with that. Although I do have to ask how reliable Confed's intelligence network was if Tolwyn could so easily hide his activities. (In the novels, they were rather top notch, if I remember...

Or so they'd like you to believe! :p
