3000ad lore for those who remember

[Eclipse]

In my wanderings across the web, I came across a site that might bring back some memories for a few people: the battlecrusier website from 1998. Have fun!

Yeah I was on the webarchive a few weeks ago pulling up old fansites and whatnot that are long since gone.

Wow! Now that was awhile back. Sure was a fun learning to play BC3K though as I remember.

The piece of ancient 3000AD lore I'm curious about is what's the "Blind Man with Sleeves" award and what DeSylva did that got him it...

IIRC it has something to do with successfully capturing/destroying either Gammula or Spectre piloting only a fighter.

Oh man....

"Actual 3DFX screen shot"

Why don't I remeber that? Was that before me?

I just tried piloting a Raven super fighter to Gamma-2. It was blown up as soon as it finished HJ off the station's bow.

How'd DeSylva pull that one off?

He used BC3K, stations were easier to attack then.

Drat.

You know, I kinda miss the days when dogfighting was so much simpler. I remember playing X-Wing and its expansion packs -- the main reason I first bought a PC -- sending all my wingmen home and singlehandedly taking on the Empire. I can't count how many Star Destroyers I took out out with my lone starfighter. And which somehow would reappear for the next mission...
