Are these guys the same or what??? They appear to be, and I've GOT "Prime Directive" and no mention at all about the "Mirak"..... So are they one and the same or am I missing something???

Yes they are the same thing.

They were in one episode of the star trek animated series.

And I guess the person who invented them would not give his blessing on the name being used in the game, hence Mirak instead of Kzinti.

And there were probably other reasons as well.

Niven had already licensed the Kzinti for use in the Ringworld game and was contractually unable to consent to their use in SFC.

Almost all long term players and the two main SFC fleets, KAT and KOTH, consider themselves to be Kzinti, not Mirak. D2 Campaigns such as SFC2.net and the Litterbox servers always change the name in the gf files for servers to Kzinti Hegemony instead of the Mirak StarLeague.

KAT and KOTH both use the Kzinti language, racial traits, and terms in roleplay for all SFC related things, such as fleet organization, (ie:Patriarch being the leader, Dukes being his assistants ect).

Long live the Kzin!

Thanks for clearing that up.... Just one thing though, I thought Task Force had the whole "ownership of names business" sorted...

Oh well

Are the Mirak/Kzinti canines or felines?

Pestalence · « **Reply #10 on:** November 12, 2003, 09:07:55 pm »

Feline.... and IMHO.. Never trust a Kat... JK.. everyone playing has a great sense of humor here..

IMHO (in My Humble Opinion) For those who don't know the abbreviation..

NightStalker-SFC3 · « **Reply #11 on:** November 12, 2003, 09:31:50 pm »

LOL! IMHO is one of the abbreviations I am familiar with.

So the Lyran and the Mirak are both felines?

What about the Andromedans? Are they humanoid?

mathcubeguy · « **Reply #13 on:** November 12, 2003, 10:00:39 pm »

So the Kzin are feline yet the Mastiff is named after a DOG?

That doesnt make much sense

Cool sig, TalonClaw

In SFB, there are nasty rumors that the Lyrans and Kzinti actually evolved from the same race...

Never mention this theory when there are any Lyrans or Kzinti around... they seem to be very sensitive to this subject.

That was one f the things I was most dismayed about wen I bought SFC-I... The "Lyran" pictured looks more like some sort of bat-lizard than Lynx-like feline (as described in SFB IIRC).

Besides, Lyrans have nicer afts than those @$%# drone-swarming rat-tailed Kzin ayway.

Raise ESGs! (H)

In SFC1 Lyrans ruled. Wait for the enemy to fire and then rush in with 0 ESG's. Goodbye enemy.
