And **what is** Armada online? Some patch to classic Armada?

Ummm....these things happen, you know :)

Eh? really? Explanation needed before I die of curiosity :) What has Jason to do here?

The instant death of the Lexington is no different from instant death of the Intrepid - in case you have done something 'wrong'. I, personally - am somewhat disappointed in lack of desire in game developers to make an 'evil Confed' path in the game. There would be many oppotunities to make Blair...

You must be joking! The minefield in WC1 can be ran through easily enough. Run! Do not crawl ! That's all... Crawling is for asteroids, running- for minefields. I personally never got a scratch on my Scim running through mines

I am still here ;) Well. Next one pan-cake question: Your opinion of piloting Dralthi II ? My point is: Fighting kilrathi Rapiers in agile though fragile Dralthi (SM2)was much more fun (and much more hope of survival) than the SM1 mission with clumsy Raptor against Gvenhyvar's Rapiers.

I like the activity about the Dralthis :) So - next one pan-cake question - is the Dralthi so easy to fly? I mean - Hunter flies it easily enough, and even Confed marine (SM1) flies captured Dralthi. I'd agree that an ace pilot would defeat the alien controls. But... the marine?... Your ideas...

Sure thing! STOP THE HATE! STOP THE HATE! :-D The ship which played no small part in the early war, the ship which was the main strike craft before the Rapier, the ship was the most 'die-hard' starfighter - does not deserve a hate! P.S. Well, mr.Most Cowardly Knight - does deserve, though ;)

Yes, they do call enemies 'Vikings'. But it looks like those 'Vikings' are the typical enemy. And which ships is the most typical for the Empire? :) Some pan-cake, it seems :) Besides - they do have an additional Dralthi engine attached to the hull. Where would they get one? Surely the HQ...

Yep, except the fact that in-book Venture DID defeat raider Dralthi easily. In fact the book is the main source of suspicion that capships are not all that 'piggy slow'

I've decided to unite two questions in one thread. This way there're more chances that the topic would live long happy life... :) The first thing I wanted to ask was all-famous Dralthi - how was it supposed to be a raider in Privateer, while it is not jump capable? The second thought was...

I do not get it. If the pilgrims 'have left', how do they remain to have 'several star systems' ? Or is it Pilgrim war mentioned, not Kilrathi one?

Give the Rapier mass drivers instead of particles, add some more armor platings... It'll become Gratha! :-D

Ah! I see... And I was somewhat sure that the fleet changed the course to go for the 'classic' jump point. Except the movie and that Academy episode - is there any mentioning of quazar travelling? And.. Were there any quazars in BW space? (Was there a possibility that some half-blood pilgrim...

I must confess that while I can read ensglish adequately (at least I hope so), spoken inglish is the other thing. So I feel that I've missed lots of details about the film. What was the reason that Rapier could jump through the quazar while the all kilrathi fleet - couldn't? Their single...

I'd dare say that in my simulator runs in 'Unknown Enemy' my Scim records of 'Gauntlet' are much better than any others. Well, maybe, Gratha records are sometimes better. Avenger is a real 'mud pig', Banshee's too weak to be a quick killer. Epee (while BW version is much better than then...

Well... I'd say that is a very common thing - a kilra who's going to ram you. Flying a 'paper ship' you are supposed to keep range and fire that 'nice long-range particle cannons'. The enemy would evade you fire time after time, but who cares? Shields are 'great', cannons are 'quite modern'...

Kicking the Rapier II? Yesss! I will do that gladly. She is QUITE OPPOSITE to the Scimitar (or the Hellcat). No endurance, no armor, guns, shields, engine easily blown - are these a good fighter's features? definitely not! Refire - afwully slow. Particle cannons... I will never tire telling how...

The reason of Scimitar returning WITH numerous scratches is simple. The mass drivers' range. You can't expect that frontal approach in Scim would be a "clear victory" when dealing with Krants and Salthis. The will start shooting long before your cannons will be in range. But... it it THAT bad...

The old trusty Scim... You know - I was expecting for "Scim gripes" to show up - to have a pleasure of defending my favourite fighter. You people say: "raptor's better". I would agree, but raptor is far mo expensive. You people say:"raptor has more firepower". Agreed, again. But Scim's mass...
