All right thanks Dan. It's kinda hard to write Dan cause my parents have always told me to respect people who are older than me. I'm eighteen and I started reading StarFist 1 way back in August. I just finished reading StarFist: Force Recon 2. I only have a few questions to ask.

Will the Essays ever have any Weapons?

Do the Hoppers have Gunners like a Huey has two machine gunners on it's sides?

Does the Confedercy have at least one military Space Station over all of it's worlds

Does a Dragon hover or does it move on tracks

What is your opinion on HALO

By the way, I will not be like that Admrial guy who keeps on asking questions.

Oh, I was watching the military channel the other day when I saw The U.S. Army (yes the Army), made a invisible suite. it is very simple. A person with the suit stands in front of a brick wall. Another person takes a picrure of him standing in front of the wall. Then, those pics are loaded onto the motherborad in the suit. The person then stands in front of the wall and presses a button on the suit and BAM, they are invisbile. Pretty cool Huh?

 some of us readers can answer these questions....if you dont mind, i know the dragons are surface affect vehicles, they basicly hover on a cusion of air, which allows them to be droped off over water, and allow them to pass on practicly any terrain.

Essays are dedicated transports, no weapons, they rely on speed to get them down safly and the attack fighters (raptors) to provide air cover...anyways they are only on the ground long enough during a combat drop to kick out the shuttles and boost off again.

The Hoppers can be equiped with gunners at the doors...but more info will have to come from Dan or David

the other 2 i havent a clue...


Belief is the hardest thing to fight...

Thanks, Jep'ray, now I don't have to answer everything.

One hopper per squadron is a designated gunship. There's an example of that in one of the early books.

Larger worlds have orbital space ports. There was a detailed example of one in Hangfire. Otherwise, not usually.

HALO? I'm not dumb enough to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

Thanks Mr.Sherman, I mean David OHHHHHHHHHHH I have to stop saying that. My favorite book so far was  FlashFire, I've read it seven times already. But my favorite Force Recon book has been the 2nd one. It was great.
