Interesting, I didn't know some of klavs' ships were ported in FRED (there's at least his Snakeir among the Kilrathi fleet). Pretty fun battle video indeed!

I used Slicker to reproduce the Wing Commander aesthetic in other works. I believe it's the one used in the CIC logo as well.

Grades in France are usually out of 20 in pretty much all academic environment, with 16+ considered to be excellent while 10 is the minimal "pass" note for various exams. The game got full marks on all categories but "only" 19/20 and not 20/20 because, and I translate: "I would have put a 20...

*looks at the silly claim that US healthcare is the best in the world* The US, where public healthcare spending is twice as high as in other developed countries for several years lower life expectancy. The country with one of the lower life expectancy of the First World, and where life...

There you go, mesh plus normal Confederation texture for the Wing Commander 4 shuttle.

Pass over the jug, mate.

It's a love letter to Privateer, first and foremost (full of references to it and the Wing Commander games, as one would expect). I haven't finished the main storyline but roughly got to most of the top-of-the-line equipment in 18 hours of gameplay, and will now go for these missions. As for the...

Grabbed it on Steam, looks and plays decently, the only issue I'd have is a bit of uncanny valley feeling with the main character and how she is animated.

Now that I look more closely to the Broadsword concept art, I kinda see the nose of the Lance/Dragon in it, particularly in the cockpit's position and shape. It's a really nice design, kinda hope we could see more of it.

The FoF missile is absolutely a deadly weapon late in battle. They're wisely not adding any indication on whom is getting to experience the deadly part.

That's some damn great high-resolution Excalibur here. I don't think I've ever seen that model before.

Plus, the cheap FMV and the acting are definitely part of the games' appeal.

If this happened, it most likely means he got killed during combat at some point, though I'm surprised he was flagged as being in danger so soon in the game.

A misunderstood hero, a stabler genius than Tolwyn.

Leaving Locanda IV appears to be the proper move.

The important element is whether the lockdown will be followed. We had quite the troubles doing so in the first days, and enforcing it requires increasingly higher fines as a deterrent.

It's unlikely any vaccine will be found in time, and the fatality rate isn't high enough to justify a hail mary trying untested ones. Expectations are for twelve to twenty four months to a vaccine. Some drugs have decent potential mitigating the symptoms and are being tested as I type: if they...

Most models I've heard about indicate that this WILL kill millions across the world. The Brits have calculated that even with strong confinement measures, the fatalities will be above a million in the US alone, a quarter to half a million in UK, etc. In Italy, they're getting close to one...

Exponential function is a b***h. From what numbers are available, you're a couple of weeks away from our situation. It doesn't mean getting insane with panic buys, but rather preparing as a society. One thing you can do that isn't hurting is to see in the neighbourhood how to organize people to...

Oh, OK, didn't realize that, sorry.
