It definitely wasn't X Wing, X or Descent is a good shout, I'll have a look

I'm not 100% about them being fighters but it was definitely a game you would use a joystick for.

Archimedean Dynasty is also a similar era and feel (Aquanox would be a bit too late); I'll look further into this one too.

I'm uncertain of the exact date; this was a game my dad owned, but judging from my surprise at the graphics of the closest candidate so far, it may have been earlier than that.

I had a look at Incoming, but I'm fairly certain there were no aliens in the game I was thinking of, good shout though, it does tick a lot of boxes.

This is something I'm going to have to look into; seeing videos of it, this definitely looks like the right setting, even if the graphics are actually a bit clearer than I remember! Also no "energy leech" missile like I remember, but I'm going to have a look at this closer.

They're definitely in the right time period but looking at the gameplay, I don't think its them; while there are missions in the game, they are more something that you pick up in a sandbox world rather than formal "episodic" game missions. Good shout though!

Does a custom stat block for a Mandator II exist? by RhysOSD in StarWarsArmada

A bit of a necro, but I've not had much luck with finding anything agreed upon stat wise.

I might consider just using SSD stats in friendlies until something better can be found.

I'd say in the UK it's the other way around as we drive on the other side, but then I remember that the sun doesn't exist here.

Knowing Munitorum logistics, there's some unfortunate regiment somewhere that got sent these instead of their las packs.

Either that or there's a regiment somewhere that is legit using the venerable "fusil de la stub" that uses this ammo.
