Still, Epee could be a light bomber, as we know :) It mounts a single torpedo, so a couple of Epees could replace a Longbow when hunting for a destroyer. Having speed and agility,they have a change of evading an enemy patrol, and having burners, they have a chance of successful torpedo attack...

It's just my poor english :) I didn't call the game dumb, just asked why call himself dumb :)

If Confed needed both range and power, then a p.c. / neutron combo would be just great. And I believe that old Raptor in WC2 era would still be damn effective craft. Because of mass-drivers' rapid fire, and neutrons' heavy punch. P.S. Jalthis were lethal enemies because of smart weapon load...

And maybe it is not a **shame**... Maybe it is just Paulsen and likes of him - who know nothing of real space combat? Who knows... Maybe, there were lots of designs which gave no profit to Confed's corrupt beaurocrates, and were "officially" declined ?

Another question then: Mustn't we hang up Blair's exec for neglecting CAP necessity?

Why call it dumb? It is just a good game, which makes you forget about such things as "mission-that-would-fail-anyway". Me, too - tried it again and again... It's not some tetris or ugly X-Wing, it's Wing Commander! So, forgetting about "plot planned events" is only natural for me.

Okay. I am the black box recorder. I do detect enemy fighters approaching. 1)am I (the recorder) so useless that I can't record enemy appearance from nowhere? 2)if the bombers did decloak far enough, so that their invis capability was not detected, why don't we hang up someone who was supposed...

I'd definitely prefer Vindycator to Avenger in any situation. Just can't fly ship which is made to be a flying target. And I'd definitely prefer Thunderbolt to Longbow, though I'd still prefer Longbow to Avenger. Would I prefer Thunder or Vindycator? Don't really know - never had a chance to...

I wouldn't use FFs in priv. Any missile is weak enough there, and FFs are the weakest. I'd better dive, burn, turn, lock and fire HS. It is better way to knock enemy hard enough. And as for trading... I have no patience for it. By the way, you needn't a mission to get an afterburner. Just sell...

I'd get even closer then that - anyway full-powered neutrons have longer range than those mounted in turrets, so it'd be the same when fighting heavies. But neutrons (though slower than mass drivers) have much faster projectiles than particles. Why else do Sarthas survive much better than...

Nope :) Didn't leave it out :) WC2 Rapier (opposed to WC1 version) has the same paper shields. I am talking of player feelings, not of numbers in manual. So, while WC1 Rapier did have nice shields, WC2'ish one - had nothing to be proud of. It wasn't even the most nimble ship anymore - Ferret...

Just one little comment: Blair can be no do-gooder. But... Kilrathi Armada was hours away from complete destruction of Earth. That could be convincing enough to anyone,not only to Blair who had lost Angel recently. And there is a great difference between two men: Towlyn wanted to be THE ONE WHO...

Hello guys. Wanna have one more stupid question? Here's the one: What (by your opinion) was Tolwyn thinking about when reinstating Blair? Couldn't he foresee that 'very persisten colonel' would never side with his plans? Couldn't he foresee that 'thorn in his back' would never be a murder...

Well... Choose Rachel I did, married I am, but... I never thought of Rachel being "flirtous". To me **she** was more stable, more reliable, more understanding...

... and any good pilot would evade the particle projectile without any problem. Don't you, when fighting pirate Epees in Gettisburg mission? Mass driver and neutron fire is much more difficult to evade, IMHO. Me, when fighting Thrakhath... I use mass-drivers only, for an ace enemy makes you...

By the way... Having Hellcat in WCSO (replacing the Panther) shows that the old 'cat is not all that bad. It still handles almost any situation (except the capship problems), and roleplaying a vet in WCSO was nice. P.S. Anyone has a Hornet model for WCSO? I'd love to try an old 'bee' against...

And always it is falut of game engine, but we do blame the fighter design. When talking of WC1 - any ship and any cannon is of use, for enemy is blind, stupid and has no reflexes at all, and the most "advanced" feature is Bhurak's retreat. And as everything flyes slowly, it is of no importance...

So, to make a "good" decision about Ella and stay alive, you need 'starburst' missiles. To have 'starburst' missiles you need to capture a weapon facility. Capturing that facility is an 'evil' path. So - to survive Ella "good" path, you need to walk "evil" path earlier... The life is so...

And will SM3 work with Kilrathi Saga? Or - the only "original" (DOS version) is supported?

Talking of SM3... I take it - the mod was never fixed up? And those unfixable missions... is it hopeless? Or maybe someone has solved the problem, and I haven't noticed that ?
