    FPS drop when facing capships/stations

    Is anyone else getting a severe FPS drop (from a steady 60 to 10-15) when they're facing any large ships? It's making some missions almost impossible to play and landings utterly ridiculous. Computer is an i5-750 (4 cores @ 2.66ghz), 4 gigs ram, with a geforce 7800 that can play vanilla...

    Very quick wc2 question

    If I recall correctly, it's a bug in the game. The "success" and "failure" dialogues were transposed. See http://download.wcnews.com/files/fans/wingcommanderiiscript.pdf, pg 39.

    About the tractor capability

    exactly. if you buy tractor beam cap for a gun mount, you can then mount a tbeam there, otherwise you couldn't have.

    Displaying IP Addresses

    yes, but that's admin business, so only admins need see the ip. even then, it should be a function of the forum software [ban ixnaythespammer and all from his ip] without the admins needing to deal with the ip address directly. my main concern would be the possibility of someone getting...

    Star Wars Viewers: Explain This?

    the star wars technical commentaries are one of the greatest examples of overanalysis i ever saw, esp the referenced page and the "injuries to darth vader and his cause of death" page. the other being the lightsabre page (now offline, wayback archive at...

    Jazz's death cutscene

    i still say they should have executed jazz in a fitting way - dropping his own piano on him. then he would have been, of course, A Flat Major.

    right before the nuke goes off, you mean. burn in hell, jazz.

    stuck

    that's by no means the 'only' solution. i passed it on my third try with a centurion, 4 autotracking tachs, autotracking protorps, remembering that i could land on the thing to effect repairs, and just doing all the things you have to do in a wing commander defend/escort mission.

    Questions and things

    i tend to believe the game, not only because it is the game, but also because the novel contains at least one other hobbes-related continuity error.

    tolwyn's cheap shot (wc2 dialogue)

    3rd Oxford Mission

    i've done this with 4x tachs and full loadout of protorps. remember escort mission protocol - stay close to the ship you're escorting and drive off anyone who attacks it. and if you're really in trouble, you can dock with it and at least get repairs done.
