    Joystick Roll Command in Privateer

    I must say I can't find any official reference myself. I had believed it was something else but found out I'm wrong. Experimented with the keyboard and couldn't figure one out myself. The only way I know works is holding down the default button 2 (or 1 if you have a button 0) and steering left...

    GOG Weekend Sale Runs the Series (May 12, 2017)

    Was starting to wonder if you still checked the news mail. :D

    End Run eBook

    We're currently waiting on Baen to release it, possibly in August. Linked here is our last news post on the e-books which hints at a possible release then. https://www.wcnews.com/chatzone/threads/false-colors-ebook-now-available-april-4-2017.28790/ I know, the wait is killing me. :D

    Goofballs Battle for the Enigma Sector (April 24, 2017)

    I find it incredibly ironic that the very company competing with EA's Origin Systems is the one most culpable in making me find the Wing Commander universe. If not for the SNES edition from Mindscape I might have discovered Wing Commander far later then I had. I also find it ironic that...

    Goofballs Battle for the Enigma Sector (April 24, 2017)

    The idea was there was only one single cartridge master created. It was sent for production and, "lost," during transport. It's something of a Holy Grail around here. Finding it, of course, is the easy part I'd imagine. The hard part would be getting whomever has it to part with it. ;)

    Defiance's Eyecandy Thread

    Have to make her debris just as pretty. I know we'll be littering space with LOTS of these. ;)

    Wing Commander Makes History (April 23, 2017)

    When links are broken, forward them to news@wcnews.com I did earlier but it never hurts to have a few more folks repeating the same issue.

    It's the End of the World as We Know It! (April 22, 2017)

    Nope. Every news post I ever read the apostrophe always displays as a triple, "?". Edit: One other... The, "Goodbye, Mary Bellis" thread has apostrophes look like, "a??". Minus the quotes of course.

    Visual Reference: Special Operations 1 & 2 Rooms (April 21, 2017)

    Reminds me of that Xwing novel: *Man, whom is stark naked from being pranked, standing at attention to his commanding officer.* "Sir, I regret to report only partial success with the personal cloaking device." "Carry on." :D

    There you go again with the suspense. ;) EDIT:

    Wing Commander 2 25th Anniversary

    I too am looking for it. So I'll tag the man who should know here. Pretty sure it's not as lost as the WC2 SNES cartridge... might want to check that Argentinian basement after-all. So, @Bandit LOAF , have you, Jared, etcetera uploaded your WC2 anniversary livestream? I guarantee @dizzibits...

    Wing One Goes Mainstream (April 18, 2017)

    The whole album is one of my favorites on my Android playlists, and you know I have to have them jamming in my headset/Cadillac/wherever. Blends wonderfully into Oldziey's album. I can live without, "Go to sleep you pilots..." That was a little off-putting but I absolutely loved Surf...

    WC4 Mod For Homeworld 2 In The Works (June 5, 2006)

    Yes, yes I have. :D I have 3 of his Shapeways colored-stone fighters (before they were pulled for wall thinness) on my desk. I think there's a picture of them posted on this forum somewhere. Except, with our traditional ships we have 2D art reference from every direction relatively. The CVEs...

    WC4 Mod For Homeworld 2 In The Works (June 5, 2006)

    What's incredible isn't just the fidelity of the model itself but how @Klavs81 produced this ship off a static book cover image. Makes me wonder what a Klavs version of my old ship might look like... might I add, from a single image: http://www.reocities.com/Area51/9044/data.htm Hard to...

    WC4 Mod For Homeworld 2 In The Works (June 5, 2006)

    Electronic Games Monthly Reviews Wing Commander (April 7, 2017)

    Ha, back in the days where my only subscriptions were to three magazines, PC Gamer (when it was good), Electronic Gaming Monthly, and GamePro. I know for a fact GP did reviews of the SNES carts long ago as they were very important reads for me then. Any ideas for local Blockbuster rentals came...

    I know what I'm picking up on Steam next. :rolleyes: Can anyone say, "unofficial Privateer TC?"

    April Fools! (March 31, 2017)

    That... was a very cruel joke. At least the magazine ad was ridiculous enough to figure out if wasn't anything serious. Those are real 3d assets in a rendering engine with art that is completely fidelis with the source material. Complete with talking heads in the VDU. Privateer: Gemini Gold...
