Actually, no, the Kipling is just mentioned on the website as a Bengal-class currently in service. IIRC, no Bengals show up during the campaign, though (except perhaps in a drydock in Sol somewhere). Fleet Action's list of Confed carriers ready to fight when the cats attack is pretty brief, and there's no room for additional ships (shhhh... don't tell that to the TCS Firekka 
).
However, there will be at least one UE reference in Standoff.

I'm thinking about making the drydocked Bengal be the Kipling, though, so the player can let it get destroyed and thus prevent UE from ever happening.Quarto said:

Actually, according to Fleet Tactics, the drydocked Bengal was the TCS Wolfhound which was destroyed. According to them, the Kipling had been retired in 2661 after severe battle damage and was in a junkyard somewhere in Confederation space.

Hold on...yep. I'm mistaken. But LOAF's fleet carrier list shows the Wolfhound in service in 2668 but does not in 2669. Since we know the names of all the fleet carriers in the BoE (Concordia, Lexington, Saratoga, Movska, Vedun, Ark Royal and Leyte Gulf[/i). We also know the names off all carriers drydocked in locations other than Earth. (Armageddon, Winterrowd, Illustrious, Valiant, Hemes, Invincible and Liberty.) The list states that Wolfhound, AusterlitzandCopenhagen were destroyed while in drydock on the moon.

LOAF's never claimed his list to be canon - in many places, it's basically guesswork, which can be true, but doesn't have to be. In the case of the Wolfhound, he's presumably based his status on the fact that it never again appears after 2668, while all those carriers mentioned in WC3 just had to be in drydock some place other than Earth in order to survive.
What it all comes down to, ultimately, is the simple fact that no source has ever specifically stated which ships were destroyed in dock during BoT and which survived. We know some of the ships that survived, but that's all. Anything else is just guesswork and assumptions.

So far so good. And the Wolfhound being in service in 2668 and not in 2669 could mean a number of things.
Now where's that from?Sylvester said:
Ditto for this. At least the version of LOAF's list I'm looking at doesn't even mention any TCS Copenhagen during the BoT. And even if it did, it might not prove anything... like Quarto said, some things in LOAF's list are assumptions, some backed by canon, but some are just not contradicted by it.Sylvester said:
Oh pish.
I stay up till 6am doing voiceovers one night, 5am the next, then I take one day off for work/well-earned beer in a friends spa, and it's all 'Tempest isn't here'
Well I'm back for tonight (most likely)! And tonight we should take more steps forward.
I can tell everyone this. No matter what, you're going to be surprised. This game is really an amazing work or art, and a lot of people's passion for Wing Commander has been put into it. We all hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it. And by that, I hope it stresses you all out severely and puts you on the verge of nervous breakdowns.

It was actually more like "thank God Tempest isn't here throwing more voiceovers at me". It was a nice break after the past two days... a very nice break, that I used to play catch-up, numbering and converting those voiceovers I didn't get done the day before 
....I need a break. Could somebody please kill me and resurrect me after Standoff's been released? Or, you know, at least clone me?

Dammit, I wish I had a functioning program so I could help with voiceovers. However, I don't, so I guess I can't

I tried using whatever it was Eder had been using, and couldn't get it to function correctly. Shortly after that, RL problems took precedence over Standoff problems, and I had to step down.
