How in the world do you get Yuengling in North Carolina? I live in West Virginia (only about 300 miles from Pittsburgh) and no one around here has Yuengling. And besides, you live in the south, drink some mint juelps or sloe gin slings. ;)

It could also be that the company or companies that designed the fighters used by the UBW designed the fighters while competing for the contract for the '2669' production line of ConFed fighters. Perhaps the Arrow, Longbow, T-Bolt, and Hellcat won the contract and the other companies fished...

Yeah, the whole Star Wars crossed with Wing Commander thing was pretty weird. However, I think it can be salvaged if you put the picture of Jessica Alba on the frontpage.

I may be wrong, but I think in the modern navy, a naval avaiator's tour of duty is something like six months. Or it could be based on the number of missions flown, I read somewhere that during World War II, pilots were rotated back to the states to serve as instructors after flying 20 combat...

... On the bright side, they've got a great picture of Jessica Alba on their website.

Because drinking is fun. :) And someone mentioned Yuengling Black and Tan. While I'm not a fan of any black and tan, Yuengling lager is outstanding, fantastic beer. Whoever that person was, I'm guessing you live either in western PA, northern WV, or northeast OH. Why don't you ship me a case...

I agree Dundradal, but I thought the Union of Border Worlds was around during the war. I just thought they didn't form an organized military force until circa WC4. Maybe it's possible that the fighters we see in UBW were manufactured by companies for civilian use. After all, companies make...

I would also imagine that the Excalibur would be hellishly expensive to mass produce with all those refinements. Probably even more expensive to maintain. The Bearcat implimented technological refinements while at the same time staying cost conscious for a peacetime military (ex: Virginia-class...

I always had a problem with the UBW having their own fighters. I know it was necessary from a game sense that there were new flyable craft, but it always seemed a little unrealistic to me. I always thought it would've made more sense for the UBW to use Hellcats, Arrows, Thunderbolts, Longbows...

Certainly not, Loaf, I just thought I'd answer the question. ;) Would anyone happen to know any estimates of how much the world's population grew from 1400-to the present? Because a jump of roughly 6-7 billion to trillions of people in 600 years seems awfully high. Although I suppose the...

Hmm...I did a quick check and these are the numbers I came up with for the USN: Carriers: 12 Cruisers: 27 Destroyers: Roughly 50 Frigates: 32 Ballistic Misisle Submarines: 17 Fast Attack Submarines: 52 When you add support ships, troop ships, well carriers, and smaller combatants...

Wow...the thread for me. Let's see, my favorite: Beer: Labatt Blue or Miller Lite. I stock Labatt in my fridge at home, but buy Miller in bars because I don't like paying import price for Labatt. Both are great beers, though, and both are union made. :) Spirit: Mainly a brown liquor...

Yeah, the whole part about Maniac dying really stuck out. I actually quit reading the Bible after that point. I think I'll consider the WC CIC encyclopedia my WC bible. However, the entry for Todd Marshall is broken and I couldn't find an entry for William Eisen in it. ;)

::Adds obligatory "Happy Birthday" message:: Seriously, though, happy birthday. The Birthday Party was the most fun I've had in a chat room in a long time. Thanks to all of you who work on this website, these forums, the mods and everything else. You all are really the keepers of the faith...

It's a toss-up I suppose. I came to my explanation of it mainly because I view a lot of things from a class warfare perspective. I'm not communist or anything, just a bored Poli Sci student. I'd like to see another novel written focusing on the Kilrathi's internal society. I would like to...

Assuming the Kilrathi Empire was a totalitarian state, which is shaky considering the constant unrest of the clans, I always thought the Kilrathi leadership kept the Empire at war in order to preserve the social stratification of the Empire. The same principle is used in "1984," where...

...and LOAF promised last night to change my title back. Right LOAF? :-D

Yeah, I'd say the last good Jane's sim was probably USAF. After that, EA started screwing around with the devleopment team. I never bought Attack Squadron. I mainly kept to World War II fighters or Microsoft's Combat Flight Simulator games. However, the very best WWII flight simulator was...

This would be a really great idea. The only problem would be the massive amount of profanity spat out on the 'mission stories' thread on the first or second day whenever we would all be trying to save that captured Ralari-class destroyer in WC1. I have lost several glasses, three jewel cases...

Hey, it's been a really long time since I've played this game as I lost my copy of it for the longest time. I can't remember if these games support anything else other than a two-button joystick? Namely, the Thrustmaster FCS that I've ordered and am currently waiting to arrive. Or will it only...
