That's quite the size difference - wouldn't have thought it to be that visible. 8.3 to 11.7 metres? Anyway, seeing them both side by side: I live WC2's Kilrathi ship designs! (Except the Dorkathi maybe) They're really favourite style.

Haha, that's hilarious. So many things still to learn after all those years. Thanks a lot for this!

Thank you for the kind words. Searching informations about Wing Commander was what brought me to the Internet in 2000 and the CIC was the first site I registered to and where I participated on. I learned how the internet works (or worked at that time) here and I had much to learn. Anyways, like...

I recently felt nostalgic about Wing Commander which prompted me to come back here after quite some time - I am sure, I felt it was WC's birthday ;-). Anyway, happy (belated) anniversary wishes WC!

I come back after my longest absence yet and I find this fantastic update with many new stuff (at least new to me); really extraordinary what quality updates are still here to be found. Once again, kudos and thank you for compiling all these great informations on our beloved video game series.

Rather tame for a CIC April's fool joke but pretty funny. Well done once again.

Yeah, that's also the reason why I can't get lucky with the Kor-larh. Fighting Gladius in it was always a real pain for me and I ran out of afterburner fuel before the end of the third wave. Armada's flight model / AI gave (still gives) me more trouble than any other WC game.

I absolutely agree on the pitiful range of the Armada Mass Drivers. In no WC game did I find gun range to be as important as in Armada. When I had to fly the Phantom in the gauntlet, I only used the Laser cannons and never bothered with the MDs. Too bad 3 out of 5 Kilrathi ships use the equally...

Nah, I really don't find it worth the ressources. Plus I remember the view being restricted.

Very nice indeed!

These are very nice and very fun to read. Everyone applauding the incredible graphics of Wing Commander 2 and its missions disks, the gripping story. And they were all correct.

Happy New Year to all! I sincerely hope it will bring good things to the world. And yeah, I don't like the Phantom either.

Ha, I never saw that missing child photo! Always great to learn something new about our beloved franchise.

WC1: Nothing. Not even the odd asteroid popping in. SM: when you have to escort the two Draymans (Draymen?) ans they keep bumping into each other. SM2: nothing. WC2: No promotions. Starting the trend of making Kilrathi fighters just inferior. SO1: Not so memorable story and so interesting bonus...

I'm showing my age probably too but I really dislike these tutorials. I wan't a manual in which I can look up what I need whenever the situation arises - and not have it explained to me via textboxes in the game at certain times.
