:lol :lol :D :rofl That is the perfect ending to that piece.

Post by: Puck on April 19, 2007, 05:45:08 PM: I rather liked ackstars. They tasted a lot like a fresh MLT. Not worth going back to WB just to kill them, though.

That'd be an interesting use for bomber perks, though. Single B17 with automagic gunners. No formation.

Post by: BBBB on April 19, 2007, 06:21:46 PM: Auto gunners would be very cool.

Post by: Ack-Ack on April 19, 2007, 06:53:38 PM: People whine about the so-called "laser guns" on the bombers now, imagine the whines if we had auto-guns. A new radio channel would have to be created just for all the whines it would generate.

Title: AB-17 "Blood Dragon"
Post by: Ack-Ack on April 19, 2007, 08:18:37 PM: the original deathstars were the fully manned B17s from AW. Those were a downright pain the arse to shoot down and great fun to crew.

It was great fun to get a few buddies and crew one. I do wish we had the option to do that here, in particular with Vox now.

Aye, I do miss the old days sometimes. When the squad would get a bunch of 17s up with full crews, we had some fun. I don't think we actually bombed anything, but I spit a lot of drinks out my nose. Good times.

Agreed. I took my nit on a deathstar run to N 71 one night, all boozed up...we tallied about 20 kills total, but spun in after taking a ton of damage...they started upping like ants outtta their hole, we couldn;t run, and went dry on ammo....hilarous.

the landing/vulch trick was pretty fun, too...

I like it...it's got a pleasant sound :)

Sheep were running scared in Air Warrior many moons ago. I think they had to ban them from the Crash 'N Burn Cafe because they were distracting the customers...........

Post by: DiabloTX on May 11, 2007, 08:51:31 PM: How come they aren't running? In fact, they look a little....satisfied.

OMG Serenity what did you do to the poor sheep????

:furious
