I was just wondering what books you guys would recomend to anyone who loves to read.  I mostly like the fantasy genre but also read authors like Chuck Palahniuk and Hunter S. Thompson.  Robert Jordan is my favorite though.

I always load up on spathi as soon as I can, the Eluder can defeat nearly every ship that you fight in the game.

How does one Kohr-Ah ship take out an entire fleet of Zoq-Fot-Pik?  It seems like thousands of those guys could kill one ship.

I have no idea what that means...

I guess they just don't make them like they used to...

Why do the mycon choose to follow the Ur-Quan?  It seems that it would be against juffo-wup to side with the non.

The ability to imagine is a human trait, not much imagination playing as a human all the time.  If you couldn't place yourself in the role of an alien species bent on domination or destruction I pity you.  
Ever played as the bad guys in any game?  Warcraft, starcraft, HOMM, etc...  I think the idea of playing as an early Ur-Quan, pure before the Dynarri or even during or after the Dynarri, would be great.
Flying to new worlds and instead of making allies, offering ultimatums, blasting civilizations to the stone age or making them your battle thralls.  Ah sounds very fun to me indeed!

I'm not sure, but I think the rate of the tractor has something to do with the rate of acceleration of the ship being pulled.  So for the most part it would affect smaller faster ships more.  Except for the peice of junk drone.  Stupid blobbies...

I think that would be the best storyline, that they weren't powerful or aggresive when they where sheilded but during their imprisonment they became resentful and hateful of the Ur-Quan.  Their way of life fundamentally changed and they began to furiously seek new technologies to destroy the Ur-Quan.  However I think that if a species was going to develop technologies while they were imprisoned it would be technologies intended to release them from the planetary sheild.

Maybe they did develop a way to excape and when you encounter them they have had years to claim a large amount of resource full planets and want nothing to do with the free alliance of stars and are very hostile towards the first scout ships sent their way.

That's too bad because the first one was a must see big screen experience, the second could probably be enjoyed just as much as home as it is more plot based rather than the first, which is more action filled.

The Riftwar saga is by Raymond E. Feist and is a great read.

I'd say if they lost, it had to be because of the Sa-Matra.  Also is that factory on Unzerfelt (I can't remember how its spelled right now) going to be put in full production making precursor flagships?

Why use :p when you have this  ?

Dosbox is the greatest for running old games, It got my Maniac Mansion 2 original game running and x-com.

I wish there was some way to have the flagship in melee.  Two people with customized flagships battling it out.  It would be great.
