Fair enough. The screenshot on the front page with the Hellcat in the hangar shows this indeed. It looks like the player plane is bigger than the Hellcat in the hangar behind, but it's a lot less weird than it felt with the initial viewing.

Definitely looks awesome, though I must say, the video made it look like the player's Hellcat look quite big in comparison to the hangar, though I suppose having a realistic size ratio between the Lady Lex and the fighter would make her feel gigantic.

Yep, that's how you end up legally registering a bear as a soldier.

For the last part, that kind of stuff happens now and then in warfare. An example would be Philippe de Hautecloque, who was OF-2 in May 1940. After some close calls, he decides to join the Free French in London, gets promoted OF-3 by de Gaulle in July and is literally told to get half of French...

TBH, I'd only see the Angel relation in WC2 as seriously problematic, and that's assuming they remained in the same chain of command for long after the big kiss. For Flint... the war situation was so extreme I doubt anyone cared really much about such major breaches of military protocol as long...

Yep, these two Kat designs are quite great, though I kinda disagree with you on Hellcat, though in a more meta sense, Hellcat's design is very good IMO because it is so "meh" it fits perfectly the role in the fleet: "does the job, not too sexy but reliable". Longbow, though, was more memorable...

Amen to this. Excalibur's proportions are just right, making it one of the most gorgeous scifi fighters ever IMO. Rapier and a few others are pretty iconic too, but Excalibur remains my franchise favourite.

Regarding the remark from the news article, I can only agree about the limitations of the models in the prerendered scenes, but also express how insanely optimized they were, both for the models and the textures. The total textures for all the ships, players, NPC and capital ones, weigh roughly...

Damn, I was stunned with the result as well. *slow clap*

"15 Mo taken on the hard drive, 590 Ko of RAM required to start the game with all the options, 7 1.44 Mo floppy disks. These few numbers give an idea of the scope of this massive game. And it's worth it! This is a real interactive movie in which you will participate." The first few lines which...

There's Cold Waters, its spiritual successor.

About MP games, Carrier Command 2 was released a couple of weeks ago, and... it's a perfect game if you're in the type of interface simulation stuff or, ideally, if you have a bunch of like-minded friends. TLDR, you're in command of an unmanned aircraft carrier fighting another such CV in an...

We'd all play a Sims 4 Wing Commander expansion. ;-)

Keep in mind that the CIC staff was regularly involved with the official revival efforts, and that if there actually is one underway, they might be under NDA (which they will respect). So regulars like us won't get more info than the rumours either.

Seconding this. The X-Wing series were my introduction to the EU, and they are very enjoyable with a mix of well-written space combat and secret ops. Yub yub, commander! :-P

The wings seem much wider than in the previous model. Not gonna lie: I'm in love with this. Like the F-35C is much less ugly than the A and B version thanks to its wider wings, it makes one hell of a good effect on Dragon.

He already made one:

Seconding this. It's sadly very rare to have Western media showing the aftermath of a war, especially a "victorious" one and how the world doesn't get to be happy and peaceful just because "the bad guy was killed by the good guys". In real life, it doesn't happen like that and it was an...

Heh heh, you bet I'm alive, more lurking than anything else at the moment, but I'd definitely be glad to get back in the action if you want to see the craft alive in either of the mods. :-P Though, our headcanons differ a bit, the tandem canopy makes me think about a light bomber role, à la...

That's one gorgeous fighter, DI! The twin-seater cockpit reminds me of the RL Super Hornet's. It seems to be a bit longer than the regular Excalibur, in a way that makes me think it would be a pretty interesting frame for a bomber in-universe. The FB-22 to Excalibur's F-22. A fighter I think a...
