    Which WC game engine ... ?

    umm LOAF, I'm not sure even if they still DO have those 3DS models, that they're of sufficiently low polycount(anything over say 1,000 would be unacceptable for a fighter) to make em feasible for use(most likely why there was a huge design change from "round" to "blocky" ships between 2 and 3)...

    New Computer

    Depends on what you're looking for out of it. If you just want to use buisness apps, go with a K6-2 or Celeron based system. Gaming for a good price... I'd say an Athlon. Using a VIA Apollo KX133 chipset based motherboard. You can get a 600 Mhz Athlon for about $190 US. That and a good priced...

    Screw Win2k... (n/t)

    WinME....is really just a repackaged "Win98 Third Edition". Microsoft really was planning to move everything to the NT kernel(much smoother, and faster boot time), with 2k(hence the name) but seemingly they had problems of simplifying Win2k Pro into something more "consumer" like. But...

    Question about the stats.

    Well a fully "accurate to WC2" Confed class mesh(which is still toned down MAJORLY) is about 1,600 quadrangles(Because the XWA engine likes doing hitzones with quads instead of tris), which any WC engine doesn't seem to handle(although it really doesn't mean much in the long run since when...

    Question about the stats.

    umm Say quick unrelated question....why were all the fighters in Armada so much faster than in previous games(I mean jeez the Arrow was what? 795KPS at top speed?) was it to provide variety or what's the "canon" reason for it?(just seems odd how the "arrowII" in WC3 is a lot slower than it's...

    Question about the stats.

    Oh so everyone reads my X-wing comment and ignores the rest.....figures. Anyway did WC ships have something like a "repulsorlift"? Otherwise no matter how powerful a ship's drives are, I doubt they would be able to keep a ship alift for long...(especially seeing how non aerodynamic many are)

    Question about the stats.

    Is it just me or does the Kamekh look like an overgrown X-wing? Anyhow, if things do look similar....could it be that similar designers built them? Say the Kamekh and Fralthra were designed by Clan A, and the Ralatha, and Hha'ifra by Clan B. Just seems likely. Say with the WC3 era ships being...

    Quick Qs about "carriers"

    About the "not trusting" thing. The Kilrathi as a species seemingly gave Confed a reason NOT to trust them with the Hakaga carriers and the false treaty. Hence the opinion within the military would turn against Hobbes, who although then was trustworthy(his "alternate" personality hadn't been...

    Quick Qs about "carriers"

    Thanks for all the info. BTW where was the Wolfhound during the Bot? Had she been broken down into scrap? Or was she one of the ships that was docked at the naval bases when they were nuked?(would partially explain why Hobbes was no longer a wing commander on a ship...IIRC Hobbes commanded the...

    Quick Qs about "carriers"

    Well I'm not sure about the Trafalgar being a Confed class dread in End Run(just the fact that if it was I think it would have been described as the Concordia's twin,) and IIRC Confederation class dreadnaughts were CVSes weren't they?(Special Carrier Vessel?) Just thought that the Lexington...

    Quick Qs about "carriers"

    Hmm that might be a problem....oh well just for the sake of it, I'll be giving the Wolfhound a CV-09 designation(Claw was 07, Kipling most likely 08, seeing as the Hound was a sister of the Claw, 09 seems okay),unless too many people disagree(I'd rather give it a 40s number...hmm). The...

    Quick Qs about "carriers"

    Well IIRC from the threads here it seemed to indicate that the Bhantkara class carriers weren't around till AFTER the Hakaga class was made. And if you haven't already noticed, yes I'm planning the Battle of Vukar Tag. I just happened to lose my copy of End Run(in a fire, as some people may...

    Quick Qs about "carriers"

    Are the Kilrathi "fleet carriers"(Or "Old Style" carriers, if it's FA), all Snakeirs? Or did the Kitties have some sort of interim design(I don't see why not...it'd be rather illogical for them not to....) since if there wasn't I was planning on making a new one for the XWA-WCTC(so it wouldn't...

    Question about the stats.

    I meant the one in the WC2 section. It shows a Fralthra as a Kamekh(and vice versa), while the Kamekh in the P1 section which is right is the same silhouette as the WC2 "Fralthra" pic.

    Question about the stats.

    Hey um speaking of Kamekhs and Fralthras...the ship database has the pics reversed....or did they mistake the shape of the Kamekh and Fralthra in Privateer and add a Fralthra shaped "corvette" as a Kamekh instead? And I think Death's Head was asking what the Kamkeh(a typo obviously) was...

    Scary icons

    Ranks are a silly idea. They only really do nothing but promote endless idiocy threads to boost post count. At least in all places I know of. Example being XWA.net having a "Jedi Knight" rank at 400 posts made everyone post stupid one liner threads and thigns titled "For post count, don't reply"...

    Scary icons

    The flaming folders mean a thread has more than 10(at least it's 10 where I mod) replies. Another cool feature of 5.43(or could be earlier) is the new smiles. BTW you can turn em off now too. ------------------ "I hope you make it, Tarkington. Just don't pull the handle till...

    Blair Carrier

    Alright fine, not Tolwyn then. How about Banbridge instead :p But still Geoff Tolwyn was enough of a war hero to have a ship named after him(and maybe even a medal, "Geoffry Tolwyn Medal of Instability"?). ------------------ "I hope you make it, Tarkington. Just don't pull the handle till...

    CAG

    Yes "CAG" Grafton is a Flight of the Intruder series referrence. The series is rather long with the original Flight of the Intruder novel, followed up by The Intruders, Final Flight(This one's set way after 'nam and where Grafton is the CAG, it's also gone from being an A-6 story to a F-14 one)...

    Blair Carrier

    Well if the TCS Eisen indeed is a Vesuvius class heavy carrier, then having a Midway by the name of TCS Christopher (middle initial here) Blair, wouldn't be so odd, seeing as Confed never really seems to follow a pattern with ship names(though the novels did try. Old battle names for the fleet...
