i think he means in the game the pilot of the blue arrow, although stated as Melissa Banks, shows a male pic, not a female, as there are no pilot pics of women :wink:

I think they maybe refering to the voice coming from the Falcan.
some who deserve life receive death. Others who deserve death receive life. Can you give it to them? Don't be eager to deal out death in judgement, for not even the wise can see all ends.

"She" has the voice of the commander of the Argon One (who is a man)

Yup that's the one. Thought that rather odd myself.

Well you can always send her a PM and ask! I believe she wrote the Perseus mission after all...

Trust the vet.
Melissa Banks is a professional modder who designed the Perseus mission by herself, and the only person so far who individually managed to create a shipyard. However, if I'm correct, she has been driven away from THQ Forums for some time, and I have only heard from her once. Her EXEs MAY still be somewhere, but I don't think it's legal to own/use them.

Oops, in that case.
Had a search through and saw the old thread. Seems a shame.
Still seems she may be back and who knows, maybe X2 will give us a female pilot :)

IIRC, Melissa is indeed alive and well and reportedly working on X2... maybe a trawl for the German forum will reveal more info??
