I think they'd get a clue when you warped out at the Node, and then they'd make sure to get you at the other side. So.. yeah, I don't think so, I imagine there are contingencies for stealth craft attempting to get through.

Steele let a bunch of Pegasai slip into the hands of the Gefs, so he will have contingencies, it is almost a fact.

[MatthTheGeek]

Err no. The Pegasi that murdered the Elder were SOC, not Gefs.

Read the conversations

The UEF had access to at least a few Pegasus stealth fighters.

[Useful Dave]

Err no. The Pegasi that murdered the Elder were SOC, not Gefs.

As above said, it doesn't change that they did let the stealth fighters fall into their hands. I might be wrong with it being Gef, as it could be UEFie, but it's one of the two.

"We allowed a number of Pegasus hulls to fall into their hands intact last year in preparation for an eventuality like this one. The strike element fighters are identical to those craft, down to the serial numbers on individual components. If debris from lost strike elements is recovered on-scene, we can explain it away as components from those ships or fabricated duplicates. Same goes for any Maxim rounds their forensics may collect."

Actually, Dave raises a good point. It might not be the UEF, it might well be the Gefs who are being referenced, after all, it isn't stated.

Hm, I guess this was mentioned before...but what about the 70th Blue Lions?
Any plans to include them...or were they disbanded after Capella due to heavy losses?

[-Norbert-]

That they aren't sent to Sol doesn't mean they got disbanded, after all the majority of the GTVA fleet is still in their own terretory, guarding against the possible return of the Shivans, policing the spacelanes and standing ready to deal with riots.

[Androgeos Exeunt]

The Blue Lions are probably assigned to patrol the systems near Capella, seeing as their squad leader knows a lot about those systems...

[General Battuta]

Or is dead. Or has moved on, it's been a long time.

[Ryuseiken]

Maybe he was dishonorably discharged since the only way I ever survived Capella was to let the third convoy get ripped to pieces while i sat in the node feeling kinda guilty.

[Buckshee Rounds]

Didn't Steele's bio say he used to be a fighter pilot?

[Ravenholme]

Didn't Steele's bio say he used to be a fighter pilot?

He's not Alpha 1, we've been over this in the past

But yes, he's a pilot who fought his way up the career ladder.

[SpardaSon21]

Steele could have been an Alpha 1 somewhere.  I can't think of any other way to describe his awesome.

[MatthTheGeek]

Unpossible. Alpha 1 never talks.

[Ravenholme]

Steele could have been an Alpha 1 somewhere.  I can't think of any other way to describe his awesome.

Well, that we agree on

[Androgeos Exeunt]

He may have been the Alpha 1 in the demo campaign.

[Mars]

He was 99th Skulls

[Androgeos Exeunt]

The demo campaign squadron logo is 99th Skulls if I remember correctly.

[Pred the Penguin]

Heh, killing Pegasus fighters is fun.

[ION3]

Did you think about adding energy using missles? Just an idea. Might be interesting for gameplay/balancing.

I would imagine them to be like the usual missles, just with more ammo and energy using. The explanation is, that the (lagre) explosive charge was removed and replaced by a small containment field generator to save storage space. Just before launch, the containment field is activated and filled with plasma/insert technobabble . This acts as explosive.
