I had some inspiration tonight so I started cranking out some more pilot cards. Mainly so that when I get some more play testing in we have a variety of assets to work with. Because of the number of cards, I'll need to do this in sections. First up are the Kilrathi Aligned Pilots: The...

So working on figuring out the scale for weapons and such. IE: What the highest numbers I should be dealing with and what are the smallest numbers? To that end I'm working on compiling data on the weapons. Just pulling info from WCPedit, tossing it into a spread sheet and formatting some charts...

Even beyond the dollars needed, the legal invovlements for that is staggering. And while I wouldn't say 'no' to it the cavieate is that whoever is asking would need to convince me that they knew how to go about doing it and had at least a meeting set up. I was thinking of have my sister in...

Appreciate the help. I'm open to the idea of actually marketing this game to a publisher, of course to do that the game needs to A- be finished, and B- not be Wing Commander, but if we use Wing Commander for development purposes, we're good.

I don't have a 'formula' for it yet. I've only just started compiling data about the cannons to figure out range, damage, shots, and cost. Then I need to do the same with missiles, and then I'll probably come back to the ships and do the same there. But I have started on that. I've abanded the...

Sure, you looking for the ships, the cards or something else?

It really is kind of like playing a giant game of Jenga, but the blocks all have random connections to other blocks that you can't see until you go to pull or push on them.

Welcome to the joyous effort of game development. I've learned to slap myself for saying the following: 'Just a little tweak' 'this should be simple to..' 'that's no problem' 'oh well that's just a single exception' every single one of those phrases have become harbingers of sweeping changes...

Yeah, I know. there are a lot of things in the video games that are probably not going to translate into the table top. Missiles are proving to be a royal pain in the butt just from a basic mechanics stand point and I really want to avoid having a bunch of "* these rules do not apply to [weapon...

So needed to break the post up. It was getting difficult to type. Continuing where I left off. Missile Attack Missile Attacks work a bit differently then gunnery attacks (excluding dumb fire missiles that are just handled like Gunnery attacks). Firstly, missiles...

So been a little while since I posted on this project, but wow what an update I have for it. First off, a friend and I got in basically a whole day of playtesting using some of the rules. And pretty much decided the rules needed to change. I'm just using little cardboard models I've assembled...

He does spell out his logic and thinking to his ranking, and while I don't agree with his thinking for what makes one ship better then another, I can understand it. Though I do have to agree with his estimation of the Midway class. It was just too big of a ship for what it was, and because it...

Hey guys, the Sci-Fi space ship discussion channel SpaceDock recently posted his top 5 Sci-Fi Carriers and Wing Commander ships actually make the list at both 3rd place (Bengal Class Carrier) and at 1st place with the Vesuvius class Heavy Carrier.

Glad I could help.

Well if you're swining cats at people, and then ask them if they liked something... chances are they're already pissed off at you for swining a cat at them that so they would probably say they hated whatever you were asking about out of reaction.

Any recommendations as to where to get a 'decent' lion noise effect? I was expiramenting with do a Kilrathi voice for a WCP Video project I've been tinkering with.

Unless I needed the raw fire power of the Avenger, or the Speed of the Banshee, I generally preferred the Versatility of the Vindicator. I mean... it's like what you got if a HellCat and a Thunderbolt had a drunken one night stand, then had a kid, that the Thunderbolt dropped off at the HellCat...

hmm, this might result in a video.

Eh I would probably use Card stock at that point. And that's if it actually mattered. Though that does give me ideas for some of the other ships... Congrats Quarto. You have officially joined the rank of DefianceIndustries for inspiring me in random ways.

I just use cereal boxes for the cardboard. Just print out the templates (see below) on any half decent inkjet printer, use a glue stick to glue the template down to the cardboard. Let it dry... for like 12 hours. Then use an exacto-blade to cut out the parts. Any parts that are white with a...
