    Which ship do you want to fly on UE2?

    And the Rapier. I would like to see the Arrow pressed into service again. I think it would have a reasonable amount of success, once it has been slightly enhanced like the SO Thunderbolt and Excalibur. I enjoyed its focused lasers and ion guns, unlike the Piranha which has the two ion guns...

    New enemy

    The bit about Kamikaze pilots is. The Maniac one was for a bit of fun. I'm quite happy with the bugs with the throw in of renegade Kilrathi pilots. SO didn't exactly answer many questions on the bugs, so it would be good to kind of find out more about them, what the heck they are doing...

    New enemy

    How about a race cloned from Maniac's genes? Which brings to mind the possibility of having Kamikaze pilots - would that be possible in UE2? I mean the bugs don't seem to mind dying that much - take a look at those Remora ships - that's practically flying suicide. Might as well add a couple...

    Which ship do you want to fly on UE2?

    They look pretty cool. I stand by my vote. They don't look very good, however in terms of fighting ability. They look to fragile and pointy. Maybe it could be used as a ramming ship.

    Help With Mission 3

    So you're telling me that those cargo ships are not supposed to be there? Oh well, it kinda was cool. Can anyone else verify the bug?

    SO (and UE?) in Windows 2000!

    Yeh, but I'm sure that the capship was the TCS Arkhangelsk and it came out as the TCS Adelaide. I was in the upper track - Kreiger

    Which ship do you want to fly on UE2?

    What's a Stilleto? Because I just voted for it...It doesn't seem quite right though...

    SO (and UE?) in Windows 2000!

    Yeh, I'm pretty sure there weren't 2 capships around. I don't really expect people who don't live in Australia or do not have any interest in Australia would notice it...

    SO (and UE?) in Windows 2000!

    Kewlies...still get bugs, even when run under '95 format Anyone notice, I think it's in Krieger system, that the TCS Arkhelenger (or whatever it is) launches its bombers, saying "launching fighters" but on the comm it says TCS Adelaide?

    Help With Mission 3

    I don't know if it's a bug or not, but to me it makes sense. You're under attack by 2 cap ships and your pilots are probably out numbered, so what do you do to 'even up' the ground? Fire decoy ships, so that momentarily the enemey is distracted and concentrates its firepower on the decoy...

    Help With Mission 3

    Arguably, I think that the mission where you have to escort the Libra and that other convoy is the hardest when played on Nightmare and if you are aiming to ensure all transport jumps. Also, has anyone else noticed that if you fail the Kilrathi capship mission, that when the Fralthi and...

    Missile Evasion Tactics

    I enjoy turning at the last moment so that the missile locked onto me hits an enemy craft instead (it's easier to do with corvettes, but I've done it once or twice with fighters). Also, missiles do have the 'spoofability' which I guess means the chance of it losing lock either through decoys or...

    Vindicator II

    The Eisen carrier group must have been extremely busy then, if UE is during WCP

    Which was your favorite WC game.

    I'm going for WCIV too. It's plot was absolutely fantastic! I've only played the game 2 or 3 times, but each time round I raced through it all, just for the plot. The game play was pretty decent too, so next time I play I'll try to get more of the game play.

    Ships for UE2?

    The Banshee was definitely one of the more superior fighters, but only due to its missile loadout. It was a ship that didn't have much endurance. I mean after spending all the missiles and stormfire, you're left with 4 lasers, which are nothing too much to shout about. The Banshee's endurance...

    Vindicator II

    Ahh, you'll just have to play it, won't you? It is after WCP and you could say that there is an old character in it (as old as WCP that is) By the way, what happened to the Dragons that were captured? Even without cloak (because it is redundant against the Nephilem ships) and autoguns, it...

    Something I noticed about WC4...

    I can understand having characters like Eisen who have a central figure, or Melek who isn't so central but plays a large part of the plot. But what about Rollins? He gives you his 'callsign', talks about Hobbes' codes, which pretty much has no bearing in the end, and he laughs about Vagabond...

    Rapier IV?

    Would you really want a fighter like that? You can sit there at your computer for hours doing nothing but watch the ship fight. Although I reckon there will before anything like that happens, a fighter will be developed where the pilot isn't in it, rather is back on a base somewhere in a...
