Part of the reason I never tried that one was because (and I know that this is an excuse) I haven't had a modern gaming system of any kind in about a decade. It's not so much out of financial circumstances and I probably could if I really wanted. I just haven't. It's a fairly big initial...

I wish my gaming setup wasn't from 10 years ago!

I actually think it's the other way. Wing Commander is EA's chance to do something big with Mark Hamill and cash in on nostalgia, because Star Wars won't be doing that much anymore. If they were going to do something with the license they would have done it when they still had exclusivity...

More just simple population growth; also a more industrialized planet would be less economically dependent on the homeworld.

I completely blanked on World of Warcraft and EVE for some reason (the latter is bizarre because I've actually played it). I think the mid-90s 2D of UO makes me process it as far older than the other two games even though it's "only" six year older. It also might be that the other games have...

Was the part about the Kilrathi being a relatively young spacefaring race developed late in the series development? The idea of Kilrah's importance would depend on the age of the empire so I'm wondering when this was developed and how much of it made its way to the writers.

I don't know, would it have? Earth & Beyond only lasted two years, but then maybe nobody really cared enough about it. Star Wars Galaxies lasted eight years, which is still only a third of UO. The only other game I can think of with the same longetivity is Tibia, another roleplaying game from...

On a related note: do you know if Exo-Squad was ever translated?

How are the animations stored? Some of the planets have animations on the background, as opposed to characters.

That makes sense now especially given the popularity of the remake, but I wonder what the case was in 1998.

I haven't read the Heart of the Tiger novel in some time, does it really not go into any more detail about the TCS Leningrad connection? Strange to bring up such an obscure reference to Hobbes in a story primarily about him and then not pursue it further. Unless of course this is completely...

Space Battleship Yamato also has a similar name in Korean, so it makes sense that the series would be renamed to capitalize on that. Or does it? I'm not sure how popular Yamato was in Korea. Apparently it was aired but heavily localized and under different names, due to a government policy...

It's still not too late! The Confederation project has made fantastic progress in only two months.

I guess at the time there just wasn't the incentive. They didn't think that what they were doing was of more than academic interest and the idea that you could use them to recreate the engine was farfetched, years before OpenXCom and Rollercoaster Tycoon. And I've found in general that a lot of...

I typed in TCS Paradigm Shift and it gave me this. Kris is definitely earning his pay. It gave me a start because I thought it was the Talon model from the old Reckoning mod, but apparently it's from a fan film that was never completed. Looking at it it's actually quite close to the original...

The Drayman model originally being a cruise ship makes sense, though after thirty years I can't see it as anything other than a Drayman now.

Could have fooled me; I didn't notice the connection at all but looking at the art style now your touch is definitely there. I'm happy the game seems to be doing well, sitting just a few points off Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam. Quite aside from Howard's connection or the Origin lineage or...

I'm pretty sure we have no idea.

Isn't that the same ship that appeared in ads?
