Yeah, I think our best bet is the click theory. The reality of a Ferret going head to head with a Salthi hits my tiny little brain like a firehose hits a saltine cracker. If we take KPS as Kilometers, imagine how fast missiles and guns must travel... sheesh.

Definately not bad at all. An encouraging start.

I always just assumed that the insane speeds were your cruising speed. Like, in a straight line, a Ferret is capable of pulling 500 kps. However, the twists and turns of space combat require a constant adjustment in thrust in order to realign and steady the individual craft. I figured that...

I changed my callsign when I bought Prophecy. I figured, if I was going to play Iceman's kid, I needed an appropriate name so I decided upon 'Sicle or sometimes Frosty. Not my real callsign, of course, but Casey's and only to be used when I am him.

A better sense of the ship's capabilities would help as well. Size, speed, burners?, armor, shielding. I know I've already asked before, but it's really hard to talk about the quality of your design without all of the information. Also, how does this craft relate to the Broadsword? What...

Hal?

His callsign really should reflect some event of his academy days, rather than an arbitrarily assigned trait. What about "Junior?" if we're playing up his connection to daddy. Maybe straight-laced wonderpilot had one bad night through his academy days, and as pennance, he was dubbed "Chunks"...

Shoulda gone with Threepwood, way cooler. Or LeChuck.

For the record, and maybe it's assumed and I'm wasting my breath, I think you've got an excellent project going (judging strictly from what little I've seen) so please do not take anything I've said as more than constructive criticism.

if we're going Chess, I would prefer "Rook" it's a more controlled piece, but one with far greater combat capabilities.

Boom, dude, boom. This might be relevant, if not, please ignore, but I'm trying to set up a fanfic revolving around Thrakath's victory in Deneb which occured concurrently with events in WC2. Has this been done to death? Also, does anybody have any information on ship deployments? I can't...

I would caution against multiple instances of the same name for a different reason. While it might be feasible for a regular fleet pilot to share a nickname with a reservist who hardly ever saw the cockpit, in having similar names, you run the risk of triggering set associations. A hardcore...

I played WC2 first, and used "Hunter." Imagine my surprise when I got WC1 and had to go with "Hunter 2" for a while. Once Chuck Yaeger hit and my group of friends started doling out callsigns, I was declared "Ballpoint," because I write by trade and tend to be very accurate with my ordinance.

A short roll yes, and a good pilot could certainly do a bit to cover. On the other hand, a good fighter is going to strafe and roll wit ya, so to speak. I was merely pointing out the craft does have a bit of a glass jaw. Honestly, I kind of like the idea. A minor, but significant flaw...

Oh man, the missile pod is the top? Speaking from an interceptor's perspective, if I get above this ship you can't touch me, and as soon as my guns drop the shields, I'm firing directly into a big pile of BOOM. Unless this thing has some serious speed and manuverability, or a major escort...

Exactly! That's kind of what triggered the attempt. I finished the game with the usual obscene kill count and though of how pissed off I would be if the day was suddenly saved by a man who just finished killing off 500+ relatively innocent pilots (minus the Black Lancers and random pirates of...

Well with minor structural alterations, and the removal of everything that made the Excalibur not suck, I'm sure you'd have something pretty close to a Scim. Man did I hate the pig. Why do you have to compare the Epee to the Talon anyways? The Talon was a flying coffin, the Epee had class...

If you hit a guy with leeches, he doesn't "die" and any fighters which are supposed to appear after he "dies" do not. You don't trigger any of the multiple waves this way. I beat WC IV with something like 9 kills once, just for kicks, using this tactic.

Also, do we have any size/speed/armor/shielding etc available? Loadout options might make more sense if we had a fuller picture.
