I didn't really like anything about BFC. K-Mac is a good author, and a good military author, but he forgets sometimes that warfare in Star Wars isn't fought like conventional warfare. K-Wings, frex. They were designed for atmospheric bombing attack...  [Read More]

Best Book: TIE between Vision of the Future, and any of the X-Wing Books. Best Author: Stackpole, barely beating Zahn. Worst Book: I'm gonna have to go with the whole NJO series. Not only for doing you-know-what to you-know-who, but for the charact...  [Read More]

I know somebody's probably going to shut me down, but earlier, we were talking about starfighters in the Star Trek Universe (for a possible Star Trek TC) and I mentioned an upcoming video game. Well, I just picked up a copy of Star Tek: The Magazine...  [Read More]

I wasn't saying either is better; I was just pointing out that the advantages that SW ships have are different than the advantages that ST ships have. I didn't mean to be offensive. I'd like a ST TC, but I have absolutely no XWA editing talent to c...  [Read More]

I wouldn't say ST ships could tear apart SW ships (unless we're talking about the Borg http://www.xwingalliance.com/forums/wink.gif) ). I just said that ST craft are proportionately much faster and more agile than SW cap ships. Oh, and your calculat...  [Read More]

Also, Star Trek cap ships move like starfighters (at least in DS9). Try giving the Defiant the stats for the A-wing or a heavily shielded Squint. <small>Now if I could find a WhiteStar, we could have a real interesting battle.</small> h...  [Read More]

Yeah Ash, that's the one I'm thinkin' of; looked like someone took a box and bolted more boxes onto it. Nob, that's a Defiant! (Not really the angle I'd like to be lookin' at it from, but still, nice model.) ------------------ Breath deep, seek pea...  [Read More]

I believe there's a half-decent Stargazer model (Picard's first command) around here somewhere, but no, no actual shipset. 'Sata,' I've heard that name before, isn't it a girl's name? (As in a certain jade-green female samurai, perhaps?) ---------...  [Read More]

Alright, here's my problem. I D'loaded and installed NCA, then used MXvTed and BinHex to add more ships. But now I still have tonnes of ships to add (and one even has a shp file) that I can't add without crashing the game. It looks like I have eno...  [Read More]

Hmmm. Photon and (more powerful) Quantum torpedoes would just be conversions of normal missiles/torps from the game (new opts, more destructive). Pulse phasers are just beefed up blaster bolts, maybe with a space bomb opt and higher speed. Phaser b...  [Read More]
