    Ships for UE2?

    It seems we've got the issue of fighters people want for UE2 covered, but what about capships? I loved that the Bengal-class carrier was used, and the model is beautiful. Then again, I thought the Bengal-class had a very cool, angular look in the first place. Personally, I'd like to see an...

    World War 2/Kilrathi Comparisons

    What Wing Commander character are you?

    I am a walking contradiction I think I share Maniac's overwhelming lack of concern for anything not directly affecting him, and Blair's complete lack of tolerance of that sort of selfishness in others. I'm a stand-up guy!

    What is chris roberts doing now?

    Yeah, what he said. I remember visiting PNR's site over a year ago and the content looks exactly the same. Have they made any progress towards their goals other than a schnazzy website with somewhat annoying music?

    Man, I miss Wing Commander.

    I was introduced to the world of WC pretty much at the beginning...my uncle bought WC1 back in 1990, when I was 12, and let me play it some. I was hooked, addicted almost immediately. Even though WC1 didn't have much of a plot beyond that of the Vega Campaign itself, it was still easy for me...

    Kilrathi/WWII Parallels

    While Chris Roberts may have had the WWII/Kilrathi War parallel rattling around in the back of his head, Forstchen took it and made it blatantly obvious in his books (not that this is necessarily a bad thing). "Action Stations" in particular was an almost ver-batim reinterpretation of Pearl...

    The 93 gigaton figure came from the WCIII Unauthorized Strategy guide. I'm not surprised that it conflicts with something quoted in the game that I never caught, being that it's unauthorized and all.

    Hakagas

    False Colors revolved around forces from the Landriech recovering and refitting a disabled Hakaga found floating in space near the border. It takes place after the end of the war, but the Landriechers use the refitted Hakaga to seriously damage a Kilrathi Dreadnought being readied for use by a...

    Ah, okay. I thought you might be referring to the vague secret weapon referred to in Fleet Action, but it's been so long since I read that last I couldn't remember what the deal was with that. Thanks.

    That would be because I don't know what that is. Care to fill me in?

    New ships

    That's the first I've heard about a second Behemoth possibly floating around out there. Where'd you hear that from? And as far as the T-bomb not being much use against most planets, I'd respond by saying that while it's true that the weapons was designed specifically to take advantage of...

    New ships

    You've got a point, there's no denying it. The Kilrathi developed the Sivar dreadnought w/Phase Transit Cannon, then a cloaking device (if you can call that a "super" weapon), then the bio-weapon they attacked Locanda with, Hakagas, and that gigantic dreadnought Thrakhath rode around in during...

    New ships

    Yeah, well, I don't know where that rule came from, but it's gay. That, and no matter how "good" a democracy is, if really cool technology's available, an attempt will be made to make use of it. Just look at the U.S. Missile defense technology's really not all that up to par, and we're STILL...

    Who do you hate the most?

    I'll be honest, I had absolutely no use for Catscratch in WCIV. When he wasn't getting all dreamy-eyed over Blair, he was trying to chat up the hottest chick on the Intrepid (the aforementioned Sosa). The guy was the textbook definition of in the way and underfoot.

    The moments when you were disappointed

    Yeah, WC2's last mission was a heartpounder. If you managed to survive the firefight and shoot down Thrakhath, you still had to run K'tithrak Mang's gauntlet of flak guns with whatever was left of your shields and armor, and God help you if one of your torpedoes missed or was shot down. You...

    Do you remember?

    I'll be honest, I came by my first copy of WC1 illicitly. I was 12 and my uncle had bought it...he made copies of the diskettes and gave them to me. Free cat-killin', for me?? Sweet...

    New ships

    She's got a point. With non-renewable "hard" weapons like torpedoes or capship missiles, your potency is limited by your carrying capacity. This wouldn't be true of energy weapons like dual-mounted laser turrets or plasma cannons like those carried on the Cerberus or the Plunkett-class...
