"Space: Above and Beyond" had some sweet ships. And opens a new angle for ground combat, too...

That was an awesome Show...

I got the minbari part of my order on friday just going through it now to make sure it's all there, friday being my birthday i've been rather busy then and all weekend ands time has only wound down now.
 
It's odd the name ,Space: Above and Beyond rings a bell. But I can't, for the life of me, remember the first thing about the show. :?

It was a short show... Not so memorable CGI designs... All I remember was the main enemy there was called Chig.
 
Space Above and Beyond had a very 'Starship Troopersy' feel to it (following a bunch of new recruits as they join the space marines to go off and fight aliens) (thats space marines as in 'marines in space' not giant supermen in power armour folks ;))
 
I remeber they were meant to be Marine Pilots. With less of the Pilot and more of the Marine (cut the sfx costs so they had to cut down the space battles).

It had a few good idea with the "Tanks" vat grown humans who were treated as 2nd Class people. It was enjoyable though very very short lived.
 
It was a great show, I bought the R1 box set.

Back on topic, 4 WS, 6 BS and 16 flights of Nials showed up today. Just need the metal bases I ordered and some replacement parts and I am good to go, 10 point ISA Armageddon, no allies :twisted:

I remember now. I always thought it odd that they kept using trained pilots as ground troupers :? What would have happened if their best pilots got killed in ground combat? Now I realise it was it was cheaper to film than space combat scenes.
 
Yeah I thought that too - seemed to make little or no sense (been better to have a ground cast and fighter pilot cast like Starship troopers) - like so many things, there was good - the replicant guys who had a big thing for chance, the fighter combat was not bad. Despite what I just said - I did enjoy the silent sniper episode :)

bad was bad - the god awful speeches........
 
I think the fighter combat was still planes in space wasn't it? Compared with watching starfury fighter combat.

(I might well be wrong. So long ago.)
 
Well, it was long ago... The CGI technology was pretty much experimental at the time IIRC.

I wouldn't mind watching a remake, or reboot...

It was a bit but they did at least have attitude adjust thrusters, not as much as a Fury but still.

The Chig fighters were not too dissimlar to Nials.

nice, you got a minbari fleet box as well then :D
think my ISA runs fairly close:
2 VCDs
1 WS carrier
4 WS gunships
12 WSs
1 Liandra
6 BSs.

also have a sharlin I could use as a taralin I guess.
 
I got the big 5 boxes (original mix), EA and Minbo reinforcements and a few odds and sods, and a lot of extra ISA and fighters.

I could give a more detailed list but I can't be bothered

Yeah your fleet is close, just light about half a dozen Sharlin variants :lol:

could make it up with league allies I guess :D biggest fleet is probably my centauri one TBH, although that lacks war level vessels.
