Yeah Suicide Kings rock. They always had the best fighter.

In fs1 was the Valkyrie and in FS2 is the Perseus

They are not called the Suicide Kings for nothing pilot! ;)

I thought the Ravens had a good leader; the best squadron was the 203rd though, since they had all of my favorite ships. ;):D

Actually I had several of those logos made for me by a friend of mine who does interesting 50's-70's "poster" style images.  Things you'd expect to see at boxing matches and what-not.

They were made back when I started working on my own campaigns, just never really made it anywhere due to lack of help.  So I dropped it, still have the unmodified pics (green backgrounds and such) for use in game, might turn it all into a long story if I find my scipt.  

But if not I'll just use them for personal renderings and whatnot.

Interceptors are okay, I guess... but they can't cause any substantial DAMAGE... oh well. ;)

Interceptors CAN do some massive dammage. In the mission where you are fighting the SD Eva in FS1, I defeated the Eva with the valkyrie armed with Prometheus, Avenger and Phoenix V. It took some time but this proves the awesome power of the interceptor. It is a HIGH PERFORMANCE fighter!!! :D ;)

Yeah like I tryed a several times and I saw that the wingmen got killed everytime so I sent them home after two minutes and started to trash Eva my self. I think it took me about 15-20 minutes.

I am more into heavy fighters and assault bombers; fast ships just don't seem to fit my style. ;)

Beckett, the leader of the the 64th, sound really weird when you first hear him: "This is Commander Beckett < loud sigh >..." :D

I guess the best squad leader would be Alpha 1 since he is practically an entire squad in terms of his effectiveness. :D

No No Interceptor rule!

Check out the Serapis and Perseus. Those ships can kick some serious fighter, bomber and cruiser butt. :D

Here are the reasons why is Perseus better than Erynies:

-Larger reactor capacity
-Higher speed
-Fires the Kaysers longer than the Erynies
-Carries the same ammount of Trebs and Tornadoes as the Erynies. ( I think)
-Higher agility

Oh, I like bombing too.

They're multiplayer co-op missions, two of the first I ever did, but still a heluva lotta fun.
