Breaking comm silence to say 'FINALLY'. :D

I really wish that they'd taken some lessons from how Anarchy Online and Neocron fared, along with one of the few really successful MMO's with an original sci-fi premise I know of; EVE Online. Anarchy Online and Neocron had previously tried the online sci-fi MMO thing (to a degree)... and I've...

And didn't she get a mention in the Official Guide to Wing Commander 1 & 2? And there was a note from her on the cover page of the WC1 manual in Kilrathi Saga, IIRC. Yup - resurrecting two-week old threads, that's me.

They could laugh over what they'll do to Gaius Baltar when they find him.

In Metroid, the touchscreen actually IS kinda useful... but I don't like it. In the Zelda game, it's better as far as controls go, since they make it actually useful. However, as a rule, I generally try to stick with the normal controls when possible as it's easier to hold a DS with both of them.

And to quote the ISDN article for Episode 1, which precedes the article that Chris quoted earlier (from Episode 2)... 'Presumed dead' is pretty definitive for what they're assuming in-game. Out of game, as LOAF and everyone else has stated, there were no set plans when they did the initial...

Farbourne: The official reason he WAS on the tower was a) they couldn't spare any Marines - all of them were stuck on the other Tower and pinned under fire, and b) he was more knowledgeable about the design (from the inside) than anyone else because he'd been stuck inside such surroundings for...

That's what it looks like, outside of a few obvious ones like Sirius, Alpha Centauri, Procyon, etc.

Ah, but Star Trek uses a FTL technology which does cross the intervening distance, which means that you can use a measure like '4 lightyears away', and then at least look at the stars nearby - plus the producers and writers actually tag those systems by the name of the star, then have the...

As Moonsword has pointed out, all of our WC maps are Akwende projections - they don't show the actual location in space where a star is; they only show how to get to point A from point B... and even if those two stars are like a light year or three apart, you could end up jumping to a star 20...

Fanatics are kinda funny that way.

Let's hope we don't see any Pinto dropships. At least not on the Confederation's side.

We needs more coffee, yup.

It's also described in End Run when Hunter lands on Hell Hole the first time. A St. Andrew's Cross looks like this (and is the national flag of Scotland): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Flag_of_Scotland.svg
