    (Something Like)Trivia

    Ah, I always assumed the Java and the ship Lt. Cmdr Olsen refered to on page 253 (a light corvette) was the same ship, but on closer review of what was actually said, its possible (and probable) they were different vessels. C-ya

    Anyone not like the books?

    And somehow throwing out games and manuals that you personally don't consider 'canon', assuming that what doesn't agree with your assumptions from a game is a 'glitch' (and apparently being around for WC2 game development meetings in 1991), and reading open-ended blurbs for technology in only...

    Coneburst

    Its defenitely not a melee weapon, its an initial standoff weapon. If you are in a lighter fighter than your enemies and your each boreing in on each other, it would be nice to even up the score a bit by damaging all the fighters at once. Bring the odds down a touch :) C-ya

    Coneburst

    I don't remember about taking out a ship with a single coneburst above rookie. I do remember though, even as useless as it seems with the potency of missiles in WC4, the coneburst was one of the funnest missiles to use. *vagueness filter on* Although, there are a few elements borrowed from...

    A slight difference (I know nothing about the StarFire universe) might be that WC resources are spread out all over the universe. At any one time you have high teens of carriers protecting/launching offensive strikes in maybe 3 or 4dozen 'border' systems (the line seperating the Terran...

    As SabreAce stated, non of these babies are born ready to fly. Then you have the few hundred that are granted entrance to the Academy and other pilot training schools. 200,000 people a year don't become pilots right now, on one planet. Hell, multiply that by 200 planets, that many people...

    (Something Like)Trivia

    If you want to get technical, a light corvette was taken out by Kilrathi bombers as it approached the out-system jump point. As for in orbit of McAuliffe, the heavy carrier Coral Sea bought it after taking some hits from Kilrathi bombers. Sticking with Action Stations, what was the last...

    I believe they called it an actual 'tug' in the episode. C-ya

    Apparently in my sleepy state last night, I must not have finished my sarcastic thought. My correct answer for that situation would, of course, be 'A' ;) C-ya

    Anyone not like the books?

    Man, theres a difference in the wrong graphic showing up on the screen and actual overall game and mission design :(. As for the on-going 'hundreds of fighters' argument flying back and forth, I'd like to add something. Theres a difference between number of fighters and number of pilots...

    Tractor Beams

    Gahral tries to get his Grikath flight to rope in Payback's ejection pod in 'Expendable' with a 'Magnetic Grappler' IIRC (looked like tractor beams to me :) ). C-ya

    Defection

    Poor, poor Overmortal. Not only do your 'standards' keep you form watching one of the best miniseries ever in Band of Brothers (wonderful series nominated for 19 Emmys - winning 6 of them, including Best Miniseries and Outstanding Direction in a Miniseries or Movie - and receiving a Peabody...
