You are talking about colonizing not only our galaxy but other galaxies, that is a LONG way off. By then, you should be able to disregard the current thoughts of futurists and theoretical technologies. For instance, by then space elevators will be long gone. We'll likely have them within 50...

Prophecy was supposed to be the start of a trilogy if I recall. I'd like to see WCP2 be a really dark story. Something like Empire Strikes Back where everything takes a really bad turn for the good guys. I really thought Confed would try to take the fight to bugs, probably with the Midway and...

I had no idea, just thought it was thinly sliced ham. Thanks for the info.

In the states we would say a Hawaiian pizza has pineapple and Canadian bacon (ham). I find it kind of funny that we always call ham as a pizza topping Canadian bacon, yet Canadians have no idea what Canadian bacon is. Makes you wonder why the heck we call it Canadian bacon.

I always like Micheal Ironside. But it would be much better to find a new face that could act. Someone like Damian Lewis as Richard Winters who has made a really good XO and CO on Band of Brothers. Also, Neal McDonough as Lynn Compton isn't bad either. Too bad his only real purpose in...

Well, in real life, if I thought someone was attacking for profit, as a pirate and not a merc of course, I might consider jetisoning my cargo if I thought it would buy me time to escape. More likely I'd try to use it as a distraction or a tactical advantage in some way if the fight wasn't going...

Think you are right. I have to read more carefully. WC4 says the Lexington got a partial refit after the war, so it was indeed operational for at least some of WC3's duration, if not the whole thing. Good turnaround time. Still, that leaves two Lexington's at the same time.

Actually, I always thought the commodity prices were fine. You just had to find some good routes and supplement with trade oriented missions from the guilds to bring in more cash. You can't expect trading to be a get rich quick scheme. How many really, really wealthy truckers do you know...

Reading WC4 and I have been slightly bothered by chapter 2. It says the Concordia was destroyed over Earth and that Bear was a rear admiral by the end of the war. The perspective is that of Blair, so I guess maybe he could have mistaken rear admiral for commodore in recalling Bear's rank...

Personally, I'd have to know what personnel were on the two combatants first. If Bondarevsky's commanding one of them, Midway or Vesuvius, and he has some good pilots at his disposal, it will be a short, rather one-sided, engagement. [Edited by Wolf Dog on 07-05-2001 at 07:01]

SP2 actually.

Was the deluxe edition a fully Win95 version? I see the systems requirements listed as Win95 quite a few places, which confused me because I had thought P2 was always DOS only. Thats why I started messing with it although I thought it would be hopeless. Hopefully XP will a have good DOS...

Anyone been able to get Priv2 to work under Win2k? When I try to install I get an error message stating I don't have a VESA compatible BIOS.

What is with all the positive 3Dfx chatter? Ever since the Voodoo2 it was down hill, and now they no longer exist. Its all about the Annihilator 2 Ultra, which unfortunately is much to expensive for me to own.

Actually, you are exactly wrong. There is some antimatter in the sun's fusion cycle, and if there weren't we would all be dead. For great fusion info go to http://fusedweb.pppl.gov/FAQ/fusion-faq.html. I just pulled a bit off the FAQ about fusion in the sun. *** I. What sort of fusion...

How'd you take the screen shot? If you are taking shots from WCIII in KS, I have found that on my system you have to have the game playing in a window to take a screen shot. So, if you tried taking it from fullscreen, jump to a window by hitting ALT-ENTER and try from there.

Twister, with your bar experience, I must ask a question. Do bartenders overcharge drunk people for drinks if they think they can get away with it? I'm not legal yet, but when I was in Canada I could have sworn that I started paying way too much after 1am, and it wasn't because happy hour just...

Bothered by the long FMV? Does this person hate watching movies and TV too, or does he just not like plot in a game?

In WC3 I think it was essential. The best thing about WC3 is how it captures the desperation of fighting a losing fight, largly because the Behemoth, the last chance to win the war outright, is destroyed because of a traitor. Had there been no traitor, the Kilrathi would have been caught off...

Ouch. That suicide thing could be very deadly, especially when playing the older games after WCP. It seems that after WCP, I have a real hard time remembering that colliding with other ships is bad.
