    Lieutenant colonel rank wing commander 1??

    If I'm remembering this right, the Lieutenant Colonel rank and all that goes with it (chalkboard name, shoulder pins, conversation references, in flight comm texts) are in the WC1 game files, but there aren't enough available kills in the game to reach promotion to it without SM1. You can...

    Freddie Prinze Jr Coming to Rhode Island ComiCon

    Sega Mega-CD WC1 had a voiceover for Blair too.

    A Revised Discussion of the Kilrathi Language

    I assumed it was either a geunine oversight and he meant monsieur, or he was being ironic after all the talk of leaving the word in there :)

    A Revised Discussion of the Kilrathi Language

    Videopad, Audacity, Notepad and Zerius Vocoder all in action. Also, that Lion Vocoder tip seems to work neatly, I've not considered that approach before.

    A Revised Discussion of the Kilrathi Language

    Stellar work as always. I like the Kilrathi standardization of Angel's rank too ;) Ok, give me a week or so, and we'll have an interesting project. Many, many thanks - especially for for the phonetic pronunciationsof everything, this will help me immeasurably!

    Is WC Kilrathi Saga still desirable?

    I've been having a blast with the intro video thus far, it'd be far too ghetto to simply dub over the existing voices - so I've stripped the audio, and compiled an entirely new soundtrack from scratch. The music remains original as there's a decent quality version of the intro music from this...

    Is WC Kilrathi Saga still desirable?

    Alright, thanks for the info - and yes, I need to dust off Audacity once more. Now, regarding the translating - honestly you can take as many liberties as you like - because very few will be able to call you out and what I'm aiming for is just to have the Emperor and Thrakhath talking in...

    Is WC Kilrathi Saga still desirable?

    The dialogue please :) I'll no doubt PM you with questions regarding pronunciation. I've done voice acting a few times now, most recently on a mod for X-Wing Alliance, but what will take the time here is making a Kilrathi 'snarling' voice effect, and of course remixing the audio from the entire...

    Is WC Kilrathi Saga still desirable?

    As an aside to the above, if @capi3101 were to translate the opening conversation from WC3, it'd make an interesting project to dub over it in actual Kilrathi :p I'd be happy to do the voice part, just not the translating ;)

    Is WC Kilrathi Saga still desirable?

    Oh wow, I didn't realise there was a Japanese dubbed release of III - I had to go and check this out immediately! The voice acting fits really well. Of course I don't speak a word of the language, but even in Japanese the Kilrathi sound rather menacing. Actually there's something special about...

    Is WC Kilrathi Saga still desirable?

    Those Excaliburs are beautiful. Any idea what the silver text right underneath where it says 'Heart Of The Tiger' translates to? EDIT: Actually, since there's numerals (III) to the right of the silver text, I can probably guess :p

    Is WC Kilrathi Saga still desirable?

    Yes, best price I can see on eBay UK is an auction with a starting bid of £30 (36 USD) - no bids and only 24 hours to go. There're still a few jokers on there trying to get £200/$240 for Saga. On a personal level, I find the way people overprice second hand merchandise on eBay to be one of the...

    Is WC Kilrathi Saga still desirable?

    WC3 was actually given away free via the Origin 'on the house' offer a year or two ago. An absolute steal for the amount you can get out of that game. You undersell yourself, doesn't your patch also fix the music loop bug and missing red planet issue? It's a really useful tool for anybody with...

    First Wing Commander game, Naval and Army ranks....

    What new features would you want in a hypothetical modern Wing Commander remake?

    ^ Confession: I summoned you because I had a feeling you'd be able to articulate your feelings about unnecessary space lust better than I am able, or have the vocabulary to. Superbly put. This part of the OP didn't trouble me as much since I did enjoy the immersion of exploring the Victory and...

    What new features would you want in a hypothetical modern Wing Commander remake?

    I'd hate to see a Wing Commander reboot, because canon is canon and the originals don't need touching. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a sequel or prequel, but I'd be very precious about a remake as I'd want it to be done carefully and not to in any way contradict the first game. If it were to...

    What if the "WC: Standoff" best ending happened?

    I'm not certain, but I don't remember Jukaga being anything more than a politician. He may have been close to the Emperor, but I don't think he was a member of the royal family; thus I would suspect ineligible. We do know from the games that Thrakhath got the heirship from birth as the firstborn...

    What if the "WC: Standoff" best ending happened?

    It would make the Kilrathi angry and vengeful but it wouldn't crush their morale like the death of an emperor. One of Thrakhath's many cousins would replace him as heir to Kilrah, and the war would go on.

    Righteous Playthrough of Privateer and Expansion (September 22, 2016)

    Firstly I should admit the 'hundreds of hours' part was perhaps an exaggeration, but I do recall spending an awful lot of time playing the game after the plot had ended just for the sake of completing the upgrades for each of the ships - and although with hindsight this sounds incredibly boring...

    Righteous Playthrough of Privateer and Expansion (September 22, 2016)

    It's a shame RF is often overlooked, although any real Wing Commander fan will have played it by now. I remember how stale Privateer had become after completing the plot, then spending hundreds of hours just smuggling and flying random generic missions for cash. RF breathed life into the...
