    Mission impossible.

    I must say that I reckon no-one, except for maybe the developers of UE, could have played UE in one go without getting killed or having to repeat a mission. I know I didn't, even on Ace. I had a lot of fun and frustration with Nightmare and I can say it was worth it. WCP and WCSO were...

    Cutscenes suck ass, reason #27

    Yes, since you can't avoid them, you just have to live with them. It helps to keep your ship moving around when it occurs. Don't launch any missiles until after the scene and keep an extra finger on the decoy button. See if you can get your ship in the cutscene as the Avenger jumps! When...

    Rugby Union

    Try me...I know offhand some random stats of matches including scores, point scorers, yellow/red cards etc. Just for example, Wendell Sailor. Queensland debut 2001 vs NSW at Ballymore 1st Super 12 try vs The Bulls 2002 at Ballymore (Bulls were the wooden spoon winners with no wins from 11...

    Rugby Union

    When I said top 5 I meant top 5 in popularity. Just look at the increased interest over previous years. Early test matches were lucky to get 10 000 people, while now Super 12 matches bring in 20-30 000 people. A couple of years ago in 2001 a new record for attendance at the Bledisloe match...

    Rugby Union

    Being a member of the country that the World Cup belongs to, I suppose I have to write something too... At the moment, rugby is in the top 5 sports in Australia (I think). I think swimming comes out on top. Rugby has to compete with Rugby League and the Australian Football League, to give...

    How do you put up with bombers?!

    Besides, it's not as if the UBW are still stuck in the stone age. Besides, the Viper Cannon isn't really a powerful weapon without the gun power. It takes many strafes with the Scimitar draining its gun power and then waiting ages for it to recharge to blow up one component.

    Hawk sighting

    Am I going to go and take a crash Spanish course?

    Scimitar; somehow I don't remember tissue paper armor!

    BW must have really tough noses...or they've put some funny chemical in the paper that react with BW snot.

    Mission impossible.

    Rats...I was kinda leading there :) Maybe the BW can stumble across some Kilrathi stuff then...Is it okay to ask for Sorthaks?

    Hawk sighting

    Translation? Some of us only speak one language (and still can't get the grammar right cf. topic on favourite taunt). Nb. note my spelling and you can tell which country I'm from. Wonderful language this is, English...Not taking anything away from Spanish, other than I can't understand it.

    How do you put up with bombers?!

    Taking out that AMG turret is no mean feat. One shot will take out an Arrow's shields and armour.

    Well, I didn't want to offend anyone who may have put a lot of effort into getting the voice right.

    Mission impossible.

    While the rock fighter was cool, it's not exactly as if you can stop and actually pretend to be a rock... Maybe in UE2 the Dauntless can come across some hidden storages/bases which contain miscellaneous cool items...like a Sorthak or some Black Lance merchandise. Maybe even some extra intel...

    Where are the arrow fans?

    The Arrow's autoslide is great with Nightmare. I find that level extremely difficult and in some missions the only option was to burn, autoslide and wait for the enemy's afterburners to run out, and then the Kilrathi are easy meat.

    How do you put up with bombers?!

    Yeh...I figure that theoretically, but getting right up there can be a whole lot harder...I think it was that since the sides of the cruiser slope down to the engine - that's why it was hard to avoid the turrets...not to mention there was no hull. On the subject of hulls, ever manage to get...

    How do you put up with bombers?!

    I think sitting behind the engines would work in Wc3 on any capship except the corvette and the cruiser. It didn't help that the cruiser had those AMG either...

    Taunt

    That's quite strange that for even the ones which have had no votes still have a little block as if there have been votes for it.

    I liked it how some of the pilots decided to put on another accent...:) But I'll guess that it was hard to imitate some of the pilots' voices.

    Where are the arrow fans?

    I guess I'm still an Arrow fan, but it did get a bit boring flying the same old fighter all the time, which kicked a lot of ass...so I started to just fly the default loadouts, except for the missiles of course...ain't that easy on Nightmare going against 6 Darkets with a Torp and 6 HS...

    Mission impossible.

    Maybe something for UE2... I was indeed a bit disappointed about how it appeared to have no significance to the game at all. Maybe you could use it where the UBW manage to capture a buoy intact and use it to cloak or something! Or possibly as the Kilrathi's 'cloak' of jump points, like in...
