Just because someone has provided a counterargument doesn't mean the complaint addressed isn't still valid. There have been interesting points raised, some moreso than others, but I have yet to see anything that addresses my complaints with the movie to anything resembling a resolution. It's a...

That one did tend to get nasty. I agree wholeheartedly. And I do agree that in certain situations Auto-Tracking provided a definate advantage, but once I got to turning and burning in a furball, my kill rate always seemed to improve once I turned it off, both in terms of speed and numbers.

So I'm poking through the database here (beats studying for finals I'd say) and I'm looking at ship stats for Prophecy: Special Operations and I noticed that the Vesuvius is marginally larger, and carries 100+ more fighters than the Midway "Mega-Carrier." This might be completely legit, and...

That will either be worthless, or very cool. Depending on the ability with which you write the paper and the openmindedness of whatever Teacher/Professor you turn it into. My freshman year I got to write a paper comparing a bunch of Renaissance English plays (fletcher, jonson, etherege) to...

I really wanted to go see the movie in theatres... but I was sick that day. Rim-shot? Anyone? Oh well, I own it. $9.99 gives me the right to good naturedly complain.

There isn't any chance they'd actually make a second movie, is there? I ask this honestly, I have no idea of how well the movie sold at the boxoffice (though I suspect mediocre to not well) and I assume the fine folks at CIC would have dug something up by now if it were in the works at all.

The design, at least, seems to fit Confed tendencies. It's a very simplistic hull. Sleek, long lines, an easily accessible launch/landing bay, there don't look like too many inherent blindspots.

The only damage in WC2 that really effected anything, as far as I could tell, were the target track (making torpedo runs officially impossible) and losing weapons/shields.

Even on nightmare you have a point of origin "the yellow dot" moving towards a target. Once you spot it, you just fly towards it. It doesn't stay cloaked long enough, nor does it engage in evasive enough action to cause a problem, generally. I think that an overwhelming number of the things...

The front reminds me of the Tiger's Claw, which I like, and I enjoy the engine configuration on the back. Solid model.

Well there's our solution. If we filled space with water, then it would make sense that you could hear everything that was going on. Sweet. And the reason we hear train-tracks make noise is because the tracks themselves vibrate, producing the noise, and the air in our atmosphere carries the...

dude, laws were meant to be broken. Besides, the laws of physics became out of date in 2246, approximately.

No, it wasn't 'stealing' from Star Wars. But I did think it was a cop out. And Blair's abilities in the movie are very much not pointless, but rather, a fairly substantial point of the plot. This is strictly my personal opinion, I have never argued otherwise so I'm sorry if I step on any...

Dodgeball

and can we really count the missions you weren't allowed to win? or should we count those as double? I absolutely hated the sol missions (which I only ever got to on purpose for the record). I could totally kill the dreadnaught if I was allowed to!

why are our corvettes such pushovers compared to theirs!? Dynamite model. I like the EW biz too. Boffo guys, just boffo.

That's really my biggest problem with the movie. It seemed like they were trying to make Blair (and Wing Commander) something it wasn't.

Non of the skipper missions ever bothered me. They never skipped enough or changed course enough for it to really throw me off, and there were never more than 1 or 2 missiles to shoot down. The missiles seemed like a nifty idea, but they weren't particularly fearsome in practice.
