(...) Cool. Most of the fighters I see are huge mostrosities (cool looking but way to big compared to Galactic Confederation fighters.) That is the perfect size to go head to head with my fighters. Oh yeah did I mention, Cool. -Lord Insanity (who (...) (24 years ago, 3-Dec-00, to lugnet.space)

(...) Isn't that basicly irrelivent if the capital ship can use its heavy weapons on such a large target? Of course it could be argued that smaller mass means more efficent engines and faster more manuverable fighters. This of course would be more (...) (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.space)

Of course, it makes it all pretty easy when you can invent your own technology. Personally, the doohickey coil in my Spiffcraft is proof against any weapon. Mmmmm, leather seat. ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 7-Dec-00, to lugnet.space)
