I'm having a problem with WC3 in the Kilrathi Saga on my pc at school. The sound during the movies is all screwed up. It goes in and out constantly. my sound card is a TBS Montego II that uses SB Pro Emulation, and I'm running Win98 with DirectX 8.0. You guys have any idea whats wrong...

You boys all need to calm down a wee bit. I can give you the 100% Bassman guarantee that Wing Commander is nothing what real space flight will be like, so its pointless to get worked up over it. It's a game. Enjoy it as such. Bassman

It's easy to take a cap ship out in every WC game, with, IMO, WC2 being by far the hardest because the corvettes fire missiles at you and the heavier ships having those antimatter guns. The only ship that ever gave me problems in any other game was the dreadnought is WC3, and that was just if I...

Actually Quarto, the newbies would be carrying around stuff so worthless that why would it be worth the pirates time to pick them off? Just for jollies? Those could end up being some expensive jollies, if the newbie got in a lucky shot before getting fragged. And these organized groups will...

I was just wondering what everyone's ideas for the perfect massive multplayer space sim would be. Of course, I have one of my own. It would be a mixture of a lot of things, most of which would probably be taken from P2. I'll start from the beginning. Upon registration, everyone is given a...

Thank you for clarifying my point better. Starlancer could have been on par with WC3, had they only made a more developed plot. See, the thing is these games are stagnant right now. Essentially, WC3-P, Freespace, and Starlancer are the same game to actually play. The plots are different, the...

I'm not sure I was clear enough as to what I meant. I meant scrap the entire universe. Say, "Wow, that was a nice little universe we created and it lasted a good 9 years or so. No it's time to start over. From scratch." Bassman

This idea popped into my head while I've been on break playing my Wing Commander games. Essentially, my idea is that when Origin does decide to resume making WC games, if they do decide to, they should start over. In my opinion, the true story of Wing Commander was about the struggle between...

I voted for Gore. I hate Bush for several reasons. I believe him to be a moron, a hypocrite, etc. etc. However, I do think that we shouldn't judge how his term as president will be until he is in it. Would I be surprised if he is the worst President since the '70s, when we had the brilliant...

I've viewed the timeline, and things from the WC movie are included on there. Is the WC Movie considered part of the real WC Universe? Wouldn't that be sort of like calling the X-Men movie a part of the real X-Men universe, or the Superman movies a part of the real Superman Universe? Or does...

A couple of things. First, the cancer thing. If you have a hereditary history of cancer, you are more likely to get cancer, and that is usually the case in certain types of cancer, like breast cancer, colon cancer, etc. Other cancers, lung for example, rarely happen to someone who doesn't use...
