Callsigns, Kills, and miscellaneous
- Thread starter Nep Parth
- Start date
1. With only Prophecy & SO I probably have well over 10,000 total kills including replays (maybe 1000+ first time through).
WC1 upto the Ralari Mission I gained 72 kills, but since I could never save the bloody thing I skipped over to WC2 where after 30 missions I have 163 kills (Thrakhath is a piece of pish to take out, but those bloody Drakiahi get me every time...grrr).
2. Used Blair/Maverick for WC1 & 2, Primarch/Jingo for WCP & SO
3. Been here since March 99 (I think).

Well, yah...but you had to look it up, now didn't you.
Long time no see folks. What've we got here....?
Hmmmmm......
To my best recollection, I was able to amass a little over 5000 kills, excluding the replays. My callsign changed with the characters. For role-playing's sake. Playing Blair, I went under Grendel. As Casey in Prophecy, I first signed up as Roach.
I must agree though, that the mark of a truly successful pilot in ANY theatre, is getting the job done, with minimal effort and fuss. That, and your ability to get OUT of trouble, when the enemy decides to MAKE a fuss.

1) No idea. I've played through all of them (that were PC based) a number of times, so somewhere in the thousands. I can't recall what the one time through total was, I rememeber one time I went through and kept a record of how many of what kind of ship I killed, and then tried to figure out how many Kilrathi individuals I killed (that being a higher number than ship kills, but not meaningful in any way. The deaths on one cruiser would take a long time to equal going fighter by fighter)
2) Calvin in WC1 (it was a nickname in high school based on the comic strip character) and later Shane, since it seemed kinda silly to have Calvin and Hobbes flying together in WC2. I went with Cubie in Prophecy. I had a friend in high school whose last name was Ison, but we called him Iceman. His little brother we called Cubie, short for Ice Cube. Thought it was appropriate for the son of Iceman.
3) About a year ago. Slow day at work, went searching for WC stuff.

1. Cannot count it, but it were many kills, several thousand.
2. I started with the nickname Liberator, taking the name of an X-Wing Nebulon B Frigate. With that name, I played Wc 1/2. Then I shifted to King and played these games again. Another Callsign was Excalibur until the Fighter came out.
Since I came to Denmark, I shifted to Sonntag. This is a german callsign which means sunday, but it has nothing to do with it, my class just called me so as they couldn't pronounciate my normal name. I have played all WC games including Privateer with this name, and I will keep it for all hopefully upcoming WC games.
3. A few weeks ago... At least this was when I registered my name in the forum (I just got promoted!!!!!! *be happy*). I have visited wcnews.com 2 years ago.

You did this without a cheat? I find that difficult to fathom. That would be a clean kill every 6 seconds. In and of itself, that may be possible. However, taking into account the time for new waves to appear and close distance, and for gun capacitors to recharge (you'd have to fire almost constantly to make kills that frequently, given a limited number of missiles), I can't see how that'd be possible.

That's P-H-O-E-N-I-X, and yes, I'm fully aware that the Kilrathi ships aren't that strong. My point, however, is that when adding in the time to close with the opponents and for your gun capacitors to charge, everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, would have to be absolutely perfect.
