BTW, whoever said that they haven't died in about 8 months if it were real...
If it were real, you'd only have do die once (unless, of course, you're a radioactive cat :). Then you'd have to half die 18 times. So if you get scared half to death by that squad of UE Fighters heading toward you, well, they've killed you once and they haven't even opened fire. :p)
BTW2, Once I heard one of you Vikie lovers ranting about how the Voinian cruiser was the best ship in the game and how they were so good at EVO, and then admit that three UE Destroyers could take them out. Am I missing something here?

Yes, this has been debated over and over again look at the UA vs Voinian thread. Specifically towards the end
He was also probably talking about three computer UA destroyers and one computer Voinian crusier. If not.... well, there are plenty of newbies out there or just plain bad players

When I was in a Cruiser, I could take out at least 2 UE Carriers, or 6 UE Destroyers. Either combonation is more expensive then a V Cruiser.

A Voinian Crusier with all the speed upgrades including the Azdgari upgrade can take out a t least 20 destroyers. Regretably the fighters are indeed usless. All you need to do is hold down autopilot and fly around them. the effective range of blaze cannons is so limited you suffer very minor damage. I've kind of stopped doing that though, its to easy. Has anyone ever flown a V. cruiser with an experimental generator?

Supporting the UE is a great string of missions which give you a real sense of achievement. If they'd just stayed at home and planted crops, you'd have nobody to fight... ever decalred war on the Miranu? Probably not.
So, the Voinians are nasty, but thank goodness they exist. Further, when you're bored of fighting for the UE, you can always pop in the ROTV plug, and experience a whole new side to EV:O.
Finally, people who say the Voinians suck are mistaken. Arguments along the lines of 'they lost all their secret weaponry when one of them defected', 'they get beaten by the Emalgha and the Hinwar' or 'their dreadnought is easy to destroy' fail to recognise that these things only happen because the player intervenes. If you play as a defector to the Voinian empire, they don't suck at all.
So, hate them? Maybe. But I'm glad they're in the game.

The problem with EVO is that it starts the pilot so heavily weighted to the UE side, you naturally side with them. Sure, the Voinians are intended to be the evil side of the game, but seeing it from their persepctive is new and sometimes, more interesting. It's true that I did have to humanize them to an extent, otherwise they would be impossible to write. But the bloody thirsty manner in which they attack not only the UEs but Miranu as well in ROTV II more accurately reflects their true nature.

When I was young, I lived on Voinian, with the same dreams of every Voinian boy - to conqure the UE and Emlgha single-handedly. Then I turned 50(the Voinian equivilant of 13). I started to wonder why we were at war in the first place. Everyone I had met just said something like "Kill all the UE ********!", but none of them said why we were at war with them. So I decided to find out.
I went and asked my mom, but she just said I was weak. I went to the spaceport bar and asked a ranking officer there, and he told me some rediclous story about a message pod. I don't think anyone sane would believe that. So then I did a little reasearch myslef...
And that was when I found out that my people were ruled by tryants, under the false belief that we were just acting in our people's best interests.
But instead of just running off to the UE, I was smarter. Like everyone else, I enrolled in the Voinian Navy. When I knew enough about Voinian Technology, I captured a UE Fighter pilot, and then stopped at Pax to "Re-feul". Then, I "accidentally" let the pilot escape with a message for the UE Government. Soon, the Voinian Empire figured me out, but by then I was already on the U.E.S. Starseeker, headed for Earth.
But I think I should make it clear that the Voinians are a good people, it's just the Voinian Empire is not. The only difference between the Humans and the Voinians is you defeated Hitler, but we didn't defeat our Hitler. Indtead, Borb is remembered as one of the greatest people of the Voinian Empire.

Well, the UE didn;t seem to be suspicious of the Voinian defector in the Paaren Station missions, did they?

**So what is it that the Emalgha did to the planet in Romit?(forget its name right now)
**
While the Emalgha should not have wiped out Ekiup. However, they only did it because their supply line was about to break and they were about to lose their position in the Romit system. I believe that the decision to bomb Ekiup was a quick and rash decision, made without much thinking. (if you play Reign of the UE, you'll find out that the Emalgha commander of that attack resigned in disgrace and that the Emalgha swore never to colonize that planet again. The Voinians, however, are worse than the Emalgha. To my knowledge, they already destroyed one innocent human colony (in the Bakka system) and, if you play the Voinian missions, another one (Verril Prime). There is no indication that the Voinians bombed those planets as a last-ditch move to save themselves from a losing battle. They were just being blood-thirsty.

Yes, those UA Destroyers are sure pushovers. The UE Destroyers, however, are another story.

The Voinians are good, the Voinian Empire is bad. Exactly

Why does EVERY UA/Voinian topic result in people just saying the same thing over and over again. Its all been said before. This doesn't relate to the people who recently posted but probably every message on this board has been said before. I'm not above this either. Everytime the some people start talking about a good aspect of the Voinians, UA lovers have to come in and give their 2,000,000,000,000 cents.
I'm now a senile person who will continue to think the Voinians are the best race even if you come up with indisputable proof the UA is better. My patience is gone.

LV, no personal attack, please (just to avoid flames). Spelling and typing mistakes can be done by everybody (I'm sure I can find Voinian mispelled in the game if I search).
Yes, I remember UE patriot saying to do not rely on plugs (I was about to remember it in the UE/Voinian thread, but he said it before). But maybe it is because it is his plug
At least the Emalgha did not bomb with premeditation

The Voinians aren't bad people, they're just ruled by the Voinian equivalent of Nazi's.

Uh, no. Ever notice how there are bunches of Voinians shooting at you in the one mission? And how there are a whole bunch of Ships in orbit, keeping you from takeing off? And how the UE had to send a bunch of ships to rescue you?

Well, I don;t really care much for the UA but I do love the UE. Either that, or you'll go down in history as the only EVO player to ever misspell UE. Yes, its true, these UE
