Space spits was meh.

I'm hanging out for the Blink sequel (Blink had to be the best Dr Who episode of all time).

If you want something scary to watch, Blink ... late at night... alone... will have you hiding behind the couch like you did when you were a kid :D

Yet it is more of a Zero than a Spitfire, since it lacks any laser or particle shielding at all.

If you are referring to the Tie/D it does have shields.

You don't want to get me started on Star Wars fighter technology.

I stand corrected, I figured that all of the power from the engines was routed to the thrusters and laser cannons, with none to pressurization (<- this first one I know to be true, since the TIE pilots wear masks and breathing apparatus) and shields.  On the other hand though, there are three wings on that, so you could squeeze in a shield generator somewhere in there.

That was the case of the TIE starfighter, Interceptor and bomber.

The X-wing games WAY over-modeled the B-wing. The only thing the games had in common with the original movie design was pure firepower. If you go by what the SFX production teams used to compare performance when setting the space battle scenes in Return of the Jedi, the B-wing was very slow and not very maneuverable (slower and even less maneuverable than the Y-wing, which is routinely UNDER-modeled by the games). The B-wing fills a role more akin to the B-25H: she's a heavy gunship, not a fighter.

The first part of the blink sequel was great!  I watched Blink before hand just to get in the mood...Sally Sparrow was such a great sort!

Earth Force Star Fury... By the storyline, it is produced by Earthforce R/D, designed by the European Consortium, Rolls Royce Fusion engines, and has a direct corporate lineage back to the spitfire.. Space Spitfire?  I like it!

Is that from a game?  If so what, and is it worth playing?
