Dang, I have to buy those books!

Those recoiless weapons TAFKAW mentioned are based on explosive charges like twentieth (sp?) century ones or are they "rail guns"?

Off topic: Can somebody tell me what cap-ship would be most common during wc1 days and what it looks like.

That all depends on what sort of capship (Carrier? Transport? Destroyer?) we're talking about, and whose (Kilrathi? Confed?).

 

[WCMC designer -> TAFKAW]

Well, marines would be stationed on a carrier I think, so a carrier. Confed ships would be good, but if you know kilrathi too that would be great!

No, Marines are usually assigned to Marine transports and fixed bases and such. The concept of having a large group of Marines on the Midway was a new one -- and I seem to recall that your game takes place during the Kilrathi War. Admitably strike carriers did have security forces of Marines... 50, in the case of the Bengal class ships... but they weren't for what you want to do...

They do have Marines stationed in large carriers. At least the USS Enterprise has one large contingent. Primarily for security, secondary for keeping the peace. Trouble sometimes breakout in a big ship like that - racial blurbs

I`m pretty sure he meant the real USS Enterprise, TC, you know, a real united states carrier.

I think its funny how we went from the original topic...to discussing Ziggy's alter ego.....then to trying to find out where Marines would be stationed. In the real world it was the Marines and Master at Arms that kept security aboard ships. Now the detail belongs to Seal Teams not on current missions aboard bigger ships like carriers. So if that helps or confuses I am glad or sorry as it applies.....

Do you think T.C.S:Cerberus would do as an aggressive transport?
