Missile mode? I have heard of it but never used it. I couldn't understand how to set off the missile at a certain time (this also relates to the Mace). Could someone fill me in?

I am not one for medium fighters, I like mine either heavy or light, for the most part. BEST: (not including Armada, Privateer 2, or Prophecy) 1. Excalibur 2. Ferret 3. Hhriss 4. Morningstar 5. Retro (Kilrathi) fighter that is unknown in RF 6. Centurion 7. Scimitar 8. Thunderbolt...

Ok, I am trying to compile a list of all the weapons you can "earn" by beating certain missions. This is what I have: Lance, and everything that comes with it Coneburst/Starburst Mace Bearcat Doesn't seem like much. I am interested in finding out if anything else is available through...

Has anyone ever used these two missiles successfully? I can never hit anything with them. The one time I did was when I fired a coneburst at a frigate. It didn't do enough damage to be worth more than a dumbfire or IMRec that could have been in its place on my loadout. [Edited by Hobbie on...

I know, I know :) you misunderstood me. I think that was the mission where Angel was gonna make you fly Epees, but instead she lets you fly Sabres. Hence, Spirit dying on a Sabre wing. Is there a way to get a menu of smilies. They help to emulate emotion, but its hard to use them with just...

mpanty: If I remember correctly, Angel assigns the mission to you and then switches you out of it for another mission. I might be wrong, I can't remember for sure. And I think its the starbase mission where Spirit bites the dust.

I know, but the way its worded makes it seem like it is a regular thing.... "with the Epee's one torpedo, you should be able to destroy the starbase"....somethin like that. Anyways, if you could switch torps in and out of your loadout, then who is to stop you from putting torps in a Ferret, or...

Ok, playing through WC2 there is an obvious deconsistency with the Epee. Angel says in a briefing that it has one torpedo. When we fly the ship, we know it does not have a torpedo. Who do we believe? Also, if the Epee had a torpedo when we fly it and was sent on an attack mission, it might...

I have to disagree with those who liked the Vindicator the most in WCIV. I think the Avenger is better. Here's why: (I play on Ace or better, and so it is more important what ship I fly and the armor) 1. Better shields and armor. One missile hit severely damages the Vindicator. One missile...

I just finished Fleet Action. I read that in the Battle of Earth (or in the Battle of Sirius, can't remember which) the Lexington succumbed to internal fires. Is this the same Lexington that we fly on in WC IV? Or was another ship built? Also, did Blair ever serve on the Tarawa?

Wow, I can't believe its that big. That is a little less than the length of a football field. Seems like they messed up on the comparison. When you buy the ship, it looks normal sized. Huh.

Well if we are talking about ship CAPTAINS (not wing commanders), then I would have to go with Eisen. The best wing commander was probably Angel though- she connected with her pilots. Blair was too much of a hero to connect well. Halcyon was good, but he was more of a drill sergeant like...

I am trying to find out where mission trees for WC IV and WC III are. If anyone knows where any are that would be great, I am trying to find out missions that I haven't flown so I can fly them :) . Please don't say to look in the links, I have already tried. Thanks.

Well, I used Maverick at first. This was when WC1 came out, so I didn't have a clue that the actual callsign would later be Maverick. I always thought that it was interesting that I chose Maverick, and it turned out to be the game designer's idea too. I am Maverick in any kind of game or anytime...

RFBurns: Correct me if I am wrong, but I think you are saying that it is more realistic to show on a radar objects endlessly no matter how far away they are, than to have them disappear at a certain range. I think that the objects disappearing completely is more realistic then the distance...

Out of curiosity, what is the difference between the speech pack and full speech (could you give some examples)? Also, does this apply to WC2, with its speech pack? Thanks.

Yeah, on mine he was Minx/Jazz. I guess it is just an error.

I am actually playing through SM2 right now. The one thing that I can never do is save Iceman (unless I send him home) on the first mission. The Gratha or Dralthi kill him. It isn't a big deal though, he sucks anyway. I must say one of my favorite things to do in all of WC1 and SM is to try to...

Just out of curiosity, what is it you dislike about Rachel?

Is it the Sartha or the torpedo run? If it is Thrak then that is just sad.
