Im wondering how closely based Standoff is on the Fleet Action novel. Does Hunter or Baron Jakuga or Captain whats-his-face make an appearance? Will the final battle be in Sol sector next to earth, with six Kilrathi super-carriers and scores of other capital ships be bearing down on Earth? Will the mission objective be to shoot down strotium-90 laced warheads closing in on Terra? I can't wait to see how the story unfolds. I'd like to see the planet surrounded by civilian craft that are in the final battle just to give the Kilrathi more targets and draw their fire away from the limited bombers Confed has available. I'd love to fly a sabre in that mission, or better yet a morningstar...I'd like to see how one of the super-carriers and it's six flight decks stack up against the Concordia (god rest her soul). I also can't wait to see what the Phase-Transit cannon looks like when it fires in Standoff. Hopefully it won't be just a giant pink particle cannon blast anymore. I wonder what kind of damage it would do to the super-carrier? maybe one day we shall see.....
