I'd like to clear up this inconsistency: What is the full, official name of the Black Lance's heavy fighter? It has been referred to as a Dragon here and a Lance there? What is its full, true name?
Finally, what was the ultimate fate of these starfighters, or their activation date?
I agree with you. The encyclopedia indicates that ship incidents like the Amadeus incident were occurring as early as 2671, a mere two years after the war ended. I know not everything in the encyclopedia is considered totally accurate, but that served as my only credible indication.
Since...
I don't think anyone is gonna go for this, but we could place under Kilrathi bases. Although human administered, the base operated in the name of the Kilrathi and was open to the Kilrathi. Just a suggestion, but I have a feeling this one will be rejected.
How long did the Border Worlds Conflict last? I know it reached its climax in 2673 and ultimately its end, but didn't go on since 2670 or 2671? According to the CIC Encyclopedia, the Black Lance were wreaking havoc long before 2673. I don't know if this is true, considering I do not have the...
That helps clear up a few hazy details, thanks. However, we don't have many specifications on the vessel, like velocity, shields, armor, the Intrepid's fighter complement, etc. Do we have anything like that lying around?
That does help. I always believed the second of the two ships was a light destroyer, but it was almost impossible to be certain.
Another question; What about the scenes of the Kilrathi fleet being assembled above Kilrah? There are a bunch of space stations we can't seem to get a clearer view...
This one has bugged me for quite a while. In the very first FMV of WC3, when Thrakhath's huge dreadnought flies towards Kilrah, it is accompanied by at least two smaller vessels on either side. If you watch very carefully, a small Kilrathi transport flies alongside the dreadnought with white...
I'm wondering if any specifications of backstory exist behind the Durango-Class Heavy Destroyer, the class that the famed BWS Intrepid was.
There really isn't much info available on the ship to my knowledge. We know of the BWS Intrepid and the BWS Tango, both of which appeared in-game in WC4...
Design-wise, they are similar. Their external structure is very much alike, in appearance. Look at how similar the Victory and Lexington "looked". I never said that they were the same in any other terms, but in appearance, a definite yes.
I am aware that they are very different. The Lexington...
So, guys, what do we know about the Yorktown-Class Light Carriers? We know they are very similar to WC4's Concordia, and were at a time called Rangers, but that has since been proven wrong, and that they are a pre-war design with light armor and a medium starfighter complement.
But what else...
I like this new idea. Hardpoint Loadable Weapons sounds cool to me. It is better to have one category for all such weapons and several subcategories. There are so many weapons out there, but they are all distinct one way or another.
I don't know. In accordance to what Bandit said, yes, the bridge crew did not wear Black Lance uniforms. But neither did Tolwyn, and he headed the program. I'm willing to bet the bridge crew was also a team of Black Lance operatives, as they did not question Tolwyn's calls for genocide. They all...
That's a lot of subcategories. True, it sound more appropriate considering they all work differently. I didn't even think of mines. That doesn't fit guns or missiles in the slightest.
A subcategory could work. There are quite a few weapons (particularly from WC3 and WC4) that do not fall into the category of either a missile or a torpedo. It would consolidate things a bit to include everything under missiles.
Blair has a guilty conscience, at least in regards to Terrans. He hates having to kill his own kind. This was evidenced in SO2 and WC4. Killing nearly 8,000 Terrans, if any of them were unknowing accomplices of the Black Lance, would have instilled guilt. I'm sure he wished that it didn't have...
Alright, we all know that in WC4, Blair destroyed the TCS Vesuvius when Tolwyn fled to Earth. That ship required 7,800 and carried 400 starfighters to operate.
7,800.......Does anyone think that the Vesuvius was operating at full capacity when Tolwyn took command of it? The ship was only...
