I wanted to use the old Venture as the occasional militia-owned capship (since each faction NEEDS at least one capship).

I think that automated turret make the Galaxy the best ship choice, from the Centurion -- you can effectively bring up six guns in front. It always made me wonder why in the original Priv I couldn't jam the two turrets aiming forward and put a relay on the trigger button or something :)

They don't, they have their own little reactor (which is really under "stuff to fix", i think). However, turrets all have the same reactor, and lasers use the least power, so... do the math :)

The reason for this is that the lasers use very little energy and allow the turrets to keep shooting pretty much continuously, the idea is that you do your fighting with the big guns, and the turrets prevent your target's shields from regenerating. Re Cutlass: Every WC game introduced new...

super! and well, i would guess that a capship's main guns would be autotracking, so a crosshair wouldn't be very useful. thanks!!!!

I'll get back to work on WCU as soon as I get rid of all the stuff Michelle littered my life with. :)

Hahaha, easter egg tastic! :) I personally like lasers best for most of the game, once I can get four of them firing in the same direction. In the Remake, my favorite ship is a Galaxy with two tachyon guns, two laser turrets, and turret automation. :)

Hahaha, I had a similar experience -- got Privateer around 1994, finished it around 2000, for the same reason.

My email is spiritplumber@gmail.com and I may have something out this weekend already :) Thanks!

Eh, Monty Phyton is everywhere! Besides, you can't run from the spanish inquisition.

After the Drakhai was eaten, the Bloodfang was used to carry coconuts from Africa to Europe.

I think that the "experimental" part of the Morningstar jump drive is that it's very small -- compare the size of a Broadsword (jump capable) with everything else that you can fly in WC2. If nothing else, the Broadsword has enough room for 4 people, a cargo bay to hold ejected people and...

I think it's the same thing... Gemini as a sector seems to enjoy some more independence than other sectors, so maybe the Militia there takes the role that ISS would take in other sectors -- the difference in naming is due to, say, where the funding for them comes from. Maybe it's a bit like the...

I think it's funny that some magazine is selling this as a commercial game... I once bought a Korean magazine with DeeZire's patch touted as the Red Alert 2 expansion pack. (It was funny to see my name credited in it for the vehicle thief hack).

Someone did a beautiful capship bridge... and about storylines, I AM NOT DOING THEM. My work is only to get to the point where the "everyday" universe functions smoothly. I hope that better storytellers than me will make story arc plugins. The reason for this is purely selfish, I want to play...

Please do! And thanks for the hornet model, 'tis cute!

I messed up with the hellcat and thunderbolt distributions.... my bad. About the tractor beam: what happens is that if you get near a trac-beam of a big ship, you get tractored in. I don't know how to fix it yet, but I'm working on it -- this should happen with small ships (Talon, Demon)...

All you have to do is unpack them (they are zip files, IIRC)
