Bonnie Heather's the most invincible ship I had ever seen :) Maybe all Confed needed was - load B.H. with a nuke and send it to Kilrah? ;)

And how are you planning to lock a torpedoe on a friendly vessel? Some fantasy you have, mister :)

Hey, that's a question a haven't seen discussed here. (Maybe I'm just blind....) So - did Todd have a "lair-mate" in his life? Sure thing, Wilson's Maniac could hardly win somebody's heart. But Wilson is not the only Maniac now. Maniac from the movie is perhaps the only reason for me to...

Maniac and mr.Cowardly Knight.... My favorite targets in WC1 :) Always did kill Maniac before going for that Exeter we needed to protect. Without him shooting Salthis through me - it was much easier. And in the third mission he was of no help against those two Jalthis... And as for Mr.Coward -...

Aren't too many 'gripes' topic here, men? And is there really reason to seek for Sartha's gripes? She's typical light fighter. Cheap light fighter, yes. Yet she's capable of performing her task - for LOTS of Broadswords never came back after a 'conversation' with a Sartha wing. And if she...

Agreed. The scout who engages three Fralthis with a Hornet is a madman or Christopher Blair (which is the same in some way ;) ), and that madman very soon is a vapor in a space. But Ferret *is capable* of dispatching enemy even without missiles, while Pirahna - isn't much of use once her...

Yet Grikaths do use their four-mounted neutrons nicely. And as for Hornets - they could use rapid-fire neutrons - like those mounted in Sabre's turret. Lots of damage in no time - that'd give the Horent the same quick punch-punch-punch that Ferret has...

But they're still very possible guns for the Hornets. Look athe the Pan-cake - it had lasers replaced with mass-drivers... Look at the Sartha - it carried neutrons while being a light fighter... Even the disgraced Epee's reactor could support P.C. So why Hornet couldn't?... ;) But the point is...

Standoff tells us that Hornet was upgraded to carry neutrons...

By the way... what would be an **official** reason for Hornet retitement? With neutron guns she had no less firepower the Ferret had. Yes, she was less speedy, but still fast enough, and still very nimble... So - why?

I disagree strongly! Ferret DID have a super-weapon, her mass-drivers were very effective Grikath-killers. And while the shields were never that strong, the ship itself had a very high endurance. So comparing Pirahna to Ferret is wrong. Whatever nimble and fast is Pitrahna, she can not kill...

As a "classic WC" vet, I didn't really like any of WCSO ships :) Panther - too ugly (visually) Wasp - most ugly, too Vampire.... eeew.... Not a ship at all. Devastator? Flying coffin, even more deadlier for its pilot than Crossbow was... So - the only one which can barely be called a ship - is...

And I'll say - it is the way it should have been all the time! Privateer'ish cannons <censored>, and I'd stay for it no matter what. Projectiles MUST move at lightning speed, or else they'll be no better than rock thrown with your hand.

I did enjoy flying Galaxy (I mean, as far it is possible to enjoy flying in Privateer with its ugly physics). Compared to all the other ships, she's slow. But it gives you a chance to aim carefully, for your ship doesn't jump up/down/left/right by 30 degrees, as it happens with Centurion. Of...

I know this is not a discussion type question, but a technical one. Still, I'd ask about extracting models from Standoff. I die of hunger - I wanna fly old ships in SO. And I know of guy who once did the extraction of some ships from Standoff and used them in WCSO. Unfortunately he...

Still, it is strange that Phantoms are pitiful, but Demons are dangerous foe - while they're the same craft...

Here's the one: In WC2 Sparks talks to Blair and says 'One more "Ship killer" torpedoe...'. Then, WC2'ish torpedoes are called 'torpedoes',while missiles do have their names. Can't remember if WC-III/IV torpedoes had their names or not. In WCSO they're divided into 'light torpedoes' and just...

Well, you people may complain about the Excalibur, but I won't. The ship's nice - I mean - nice target. She blows easily enough. Whether you are in a captured Bearcat, or a Vindycator - just do remember where you are and what are you doing - you'll deal with those pirates (and I won't call...

Ummm... I seem to be hopelessly late to join the discussion, but... what was design of Hakaga? Didn't they have a fly-through flight-deck? Vesuvius WAS tough, but it was easy to kill from inside with the simplest dumbfires...

Armada's Phantom is the easiest targer for a Dralthi, I admit it :)
