No. But then again, I owned the strategy guide well before I bought the game in CD form, so I knew ahead of time what was gonna go down.

One can only hope. Be a shame to lose that particular chat, since reflecting on it, that may have been what I read. Kind of a pity, that. It'd be interesting to see what they would've done with the war, and see how it could've tied into Arena. Or may have, for that matter; a lot of the stuff...

Were any of the details released on where they intended to take the Nephilim War storyline post-Prophecy/SO? I seem to recall reading an interview on the matter years upon years ago, but I'll be damned if I can remember who and where it was. Just a curious question.

Just meant to push the player that much harder, I suspect. I didn't much care for the bug aces, but that's mostly because my view is that leaving them unnamed left it a bit empty when you beat it. You down a Kilrathi ace, you can gloat about it, saying you downed Starkiller (or whichever ace...

Decidedly not. I don't know how hypnotism would work in the case of a Kilrathi, but in the case of a human being making a sleeper agent like Hobbes was, it would consume hundreds of hours to get a belivable persona created and crafted, let alone a method to slip this person into normal...

You can use WinRAR to unzip them, but .iso is a CD image, so it works better if you burn it to a CD.

the KF-100 is the movie version of the Dralthi, which is much more angular. That's one of the myriad variations of the Flying Pancake models seen in the game, likely the Mk. I or Mk. II. Still, that is very, very cool.

Yeah, it didn't help that I happened to be on a Marathon kick when I started up here...

Much the same place I seem to be having to catch up from.

Battlecruisers are, by defenition, a heavily armed, fast moving vessel. It's purpose is to quickly engage opposing capital ships and inflict heavy damage. Such a vessel would likely lack heavy shields, but mount armor capable of withstanding hits from heavy capital ship weaponry. That kind of...

I'm looking forward to it. Those were some sweet renders.

...I haven't tried that yet. *Laughs* I'll do that tonight, given that I've nothing better to do...

Okay, here's my problem. I'm attempting to run Privateer 2 on my laptop, which is an older model Micron that has Windows '98 on it. I can't even get it to install. It won't work in windows, and the thing won't recognize my CD drive in DOS mode. Is anyone else having this particular...

I liked the cockpits in the older WC games. It made them feel a little more "real" to me.

Those are nice.
