The USS Merrimack was a scuttled Union frigate, made of wood, and was the original wooden vessel that was used as a base for conversion into the ironclad, which was renamed C.S.S. (Confederate Steam Ship) Virginia. Random little fact (just to throw this thread even more offtopic): The ship's...

Since I asked Eder the same questions awhile back, I'll provide the answers here...the PTC/antimatter guns will be in the mod, but they are most likely to be scripted events, rather than random happenings during a mission (during cutscenes, for example), and the PTC appearance will most likely...

Though it may have been different in WC1 times, by the time Prophecy rolls around, squadrons fly numerous types of craft - the Diamondbacks fly Piranhas, Tigersharks, and Wasps, for example, and the Black Widow/Wolfpack squadrons also fly multiple types. Furthermore, given that a destroyer is...

I would imagine that to be very possible - the Midway had seperate hangers, launchers, and later, the plasma weapon, targetable in WCP. And multiple engines doesn't seem to be a problem for WCP, SO, or UE for any of their capships.

In the last mission of the H'hrekkah system: Nephilim: Your test is at hand! Zero: Looks like these boys learned our language quick enough. Nephilim: Death is awaiting you! Maestro: I think I liked it better when I didn’t understand them. That would seem to imply it's the Nephilim who...

:eek: Must. Stop. Drooling. :eek:

It's official fiction from Origin/EA itself. The way Secret Ops was released as an online download really didn't allow for too much in the way of cutscenes. So the main plot points were included as game-rendered scenes (seeing a flight of Shrikes go past while the voiceovers discuss the...

Privateer takes place in 2669, just prior to WC3, so the ships/weapons are superior to those from WC1, and somewhat ahead of WC2 (since WC2/SO1/2 ended in 2667) Possible, though only because by 2681, Confed's definition of a "fleet" will be more than a Paradigm destroyer and a pair of...

They're not in .pdf format, but Wedge has links to all of the games' manuals on his site. Here are the 3 you requested. WC1 Manual (Claw Marks) WC2 Manual WC3 Manual (Victory Streak)

Because Howie's hi-res fighters are in the 50K poly range, and the Vision Engine can't handle more than 1200 polys :p

Or the 9-engine Claw from the WC1 victory ending :p

Not a problem. Glad I could help.
