Heres a couple of pictures of Rapiers on the set of the movie

CAG to his pilots during a briefing. "Okay everyone listen up. This is a new fighter design devoloped by the Kilrathi. We've had reports that some of them may be in the area. It is similar in design to the standard Dralthi but is made entirely from waffles. If you should encounter these...

CAG to his pilots during a briefing. "Okay everyone listen up. We've got reports of a new type of Kilrathi ship out there. It is similar in design to the standard dralthi but is made entirely from waffles. If you should encounter these ships while on your missions, disable them, do not...

When Blair and Marshall first arrive on the Tiger's Claw, Maniac coments that the Rapiers are beat to hell. That in my mind signifies that they are over used and in bad need of an overhaul. Not that they are rust buckets which they are not. They may appear rusted or discolored becasuse of...

Seems like an awful big ship to waste as a heavy destroyer or anti capship vessel. I think you should give it some carrier capabilities. It doesn't have to be Vesuvius size in order to carry fighters. Something like a cross between a Hades class and Plunkett class. Heavy strike carrier...

Ha ha. Very nice LOAF.:D :p

Why in blazes would a Kilrathi convoy being hauling beer. Was the Emperor having a huge kegger at the palace on Kilrah or what.:D

Kinda reminds me of the Concordia from WC2 with them twin prows sticking out the front. If you could possibly make it a bit wider you could easily fit a hanger bay between the prows. Or perhaps make it something like the Midway, with each prow being a lanch tube and a single landing bay at...

I just happen to have my Kilrathi Saga manual handy so I can give you the Kilrathi ranks. Enlisted Ranks Least Claw Third Claw Second Claw First Claw Officer Ranks Fourth Fang Third Fang Second Fang First Fang Shintahr Kal Shintahr Flag Ranks Kalahn Khantahr Kal...

I suppose my hopes are too high but starting the TV series at the very begginning of Kilrathi aggression towards Confed would be nice. Finding out a little more history on the Kilrathi and the hows and whys evrything got to where it is today.

When I started this thread I never stated my opinion on the matter. Wel now I will. My favorite capship is the Plunkett cruisers. They may not necessarily be the best or most lethal, but I think they are just cool as hell. With all those guns sticking out it kinda looks like a...

I have been reading all the threads the last couple of weeks and everyone is talking about perfect fighters, new fighters, who has better fighters, etc., etc. Well how about capships. Which side has the coolest, better, most lethal capships. I think you get the idea. Lets here everyones...

Are you nuts. Thats like flying a glorified Epee. Lose 25% of the shields on a Rapier and the first hit you take is gonna be carving chucks out of your armor.:eek:

YES, finally someone who agrees with me.:D The Wasp is a smaller fighter compared to the Excal, making it a harder target to hit. An expert pilot could be very troublesome to enemy pilots in a smaller craft. Anyway, the Wasp and Excal are made for different types of missions so one...

A fighter craft of that sort would be nice for scramble situations involving enemy capships closing on your position. Not that it's a bad idea or anything but something of that type is not entirely feasible. The amount of money to develop someting like that and all of the complex targeting...

To me the meaning of life is to find the answer to lifes ultimate question. Don't ask me what it is, cause I haven't figured it out yet.:p

Oh, I see says the blind man as he picks up his hammer and saw.:D How dare you Raptor.:mad: The wasp is not useless without the swarmers. With a pair of tachyons and a pair of dust cannons that thing will eat anything for breakfast and spit it out. Not to mention it has four imrecs...

The way I understood it the Lance/Dragon was known as the Dragon. It was manufactured for Tolwyn's Black Lance forces, hence the name Lance. But i have no way of confirming this. LOAF?:confused:

If you are looking for a jack of all trades fighter it should be the Thunderbolt. It has the same amount of missiles as the 'Cat plus two extra guns and a torp for engaging enemy cap ships. I admit it does suffer from slow speeds and turning ability, but still a very effective fighter in the...

While I don't agree that the Hellcat was the greatest all around fighter, it certainly is a good fighter and in the hands of an expert pilot(that would be me:D ) could hold its own in any kind of dogfight. My personal preference for all around fighter would be the Thunderbolt.:p
