New question For ya, Ice...

I watched the trailer again, and a thought struck me, (yes, a real one, and no, not too bad it wasn't a brick) Why is it that Sol's forces are still using those outdated fighters? With over 32 years of peace, wouldn't they have created say, an arsenal of new fighters an bombers to replace the Apollo, Valkyrie, and Athena?

yes, they would wouldn't they

But this is all hypothetical... and Bobboau knows more than he's letting out... Damn this slow creation progress.......

i beleive its deuterium or somethign that was stated as the fuel for the fusion reactors that if i'm not mistaken is heavy water which can be extracted from the ocean as for the raw materials there an awful lot of asteroids and stuff in the sol systemnevermind the reasources on the planets themselfs to top it all off this is a game and we dont have to think about supply issues it just needs to look good be new and fun

You only saw the old fighters

That's what I wanted to hear

Say icefire? how big would BWO be??
An one can expect it to be released (or Unleashed ) sometime in late spring? (we Get autumn down in tasmania)

limited resources as you say (i doubt it just harder to get to but LIMITLESS resources in the time scale we are commenting on) i would think sol would want to design the best fighters and bombers they possably could to counter low numbers if their resources were limited.

Yeah, they would figure ways to create a more energy efficient ship, wouldn't they? If you got nine, and an engine uses eleven... reconfigure the engine, right?

Man... if only Earth were evil... this would be so much like Colony Wars... ahh that game was so cool.

You have to decide who is evil

I never did like the GTVA, so guess who I'll side with... tho I bet the side I choose has to fight the ship Ice can't kill

i dont think earth is a badly off with reasources as people would think wasn't the population of cappella only 2 million or something and that was one of tha largest colonys earth has at the moment 6 billion people on it imagine how many by the time the game is set - and i think the reasources of the sol system are upto providing anything the sol government wants personally i want to see the sol governmen give the gtva a beating

it's probly closer to 10 billion, and more people = less resorces, but lets face it there are nine planets, made entierly of natural recorses.

Just curious icefire, what rank have you Reached in FS2?? I've recently reached the rank of commodore. so i'm pleased about that.
(just a little)

I made admiral already

BTW, with close to 10 billion people, as soon as the first GTVA ship came through, I think it would have been swarmed... Kinda like a Terran Missile Turret getting shot at by the interceptors from 12 protoss carriers

It is possible...

you know i never really like the protoss carriers i much prefer teh terran battle crusier things 12 of them and you were unstopable
