What I'm talking about is around the events of Action Stations. I seem to be a little lost as to how everything develops up to that point and just afterwards. The reason I've got this in my mind is because a few of my mates and myself are working on a Wing Commander MUSH set in that time. You know... pre-Blair and Maniac killing half of everything in the known universe?
I'm wondering if you blokes could help me smooth out some of the rough edges. What purpose did the fighters serve priour to McAuliffe? It seems Forstchen tried to make the point that fighters were used little/none by the Admirals in favour of the Battlewagons.
Another thing(was hoping it'd get slid into the encylcopedia) is I'm wondering if anyone has a more complete idea of all the ships used around that time and in what numbers? You've got the Ark Royal and the Concordia being the main carriers with a number of smaller escort vessels. I'm assuming that was the small minority of the fleet as most of it was destroyed in the attack. So, how many other ships do you think the Confederation had up there? Dozens of Battlewagons(which I assume are battleships), frigates, cruisers, and destroyers would all have been in the main battle fleet....
Also, ship classes? The two mentions that I can think of are the Minotaur and the Wildcat for the Confederation but I can't seem to remember if the Kilrathi had anything along those lines. I've read through it about four times but I'm still not sure if I'm not seeing it or it isn't there.
Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. Hmm... I guess a better first question would have been is anyone interested in a WC MUSH or is everyone hungry for something more graphic and substantial? I like writing/roleplaying so I was just wondering if there were any others out here that did(I know there were quite a few active ones back in the day... not sure if they are as active anymore).
