There's already a Flying Tigers squadron, unfortunately. I know what you mean about Tiger Hearts, doesn't make a lot of sense really does it? This is going on a bit long now. What does everyone think of just grabbing one of the four WC1 squadron names? (as above) I'm really stuck on this - I...

I'm sure we could use some Scandinavian names for flight/squad structure (I.e. Valkyrie flight, Viking flight etc etc) ;) Close enough? The more I think 'Tiger Hearts' the more I like it. Imagine the logo as a king of hearts playing card, with the image of the king a kilrathi! Not only is it...

Ahahahaha! Can't believe I missed that! Good point about keeping away from the title 'Mercenary'. I do like the idea of perhaps a squadron name from one of the WC games. Killer Bees Star Slayers Blue Devils Black Lions Can't remember the names of squadrons from Prophecy. Diamondbacks...

whoooosh! There it goes. Way up there. Neck fully back. So until I hear anything else I'm going to stick with 'Gemini Mercenaries Guild'. Note that the acronym is GMG. A freelancer reference... So now just waiting around until the org system gets up and running. I'm not particularly...

I was thinking along the lines of the Merc guild from Privateer, so a kind of PMC. So obviously that became 'Gemini Mercenaries Guild'. A sister group could then be 'Gemini Merchant's Guild'. According to the official comms, there will be the option to join multiple groups eventually. So a...

Bugger. I do mean Caernarvon station. Here I am pretending to know lots about WC and I make a rookie mistake like that... geek fail. Anyway, the organisation system appears to be the way to go for this. [sigh] I guess I'm hesitantly putting up my hand to get onto some of the admin for this...

Fun! Next up, Privateer using the Strike Commander engine! (as it was meant to be)

Well that's awesome. Huge thankyou to you guys for getting this done. Finally playable-out-of-the-proverbial-box! I would add to the gameplay tweaks wishlist 'remove enemy levelling'. So you actually get a payoff for upgrading your ship & doing the hard yards trading etc. etc.

I am looking forward to playing it DESPITE it's flaws. It really is a bit of a nostalgia trip, just to see if it's still pretty awful (gameplay-wise) or whether I was just overly critical back in the day. To me the most obvious flaw was the difficulty scaling. I played through the game only...

I'm finding it impossible to play. Laggy as hell, can't get joystick to work, can't even open up in-flight options (alt-o)! I'm sure it must just be my system, but is anyone else having similar issues? I can't really tweak the .conf file easily, it's not laid out particularly friendly. I've...

So, with the latest stretch goal completed, there can now be a limited number of player-owned and operated space stations. My vote is for Olympus Station. Where you can spend 10 years being bitter & shooting up space garbage trucks.

And here I thought I could use my self-esteem as ammunition. Twin know-it-all cannons open fire! My preference is for Sq42 co-op wingmen also. Perhaps that will evolve to front-line work in the SC PU. I guess it might be best until we hear about how the regional servers might work first...

Has anyone come up with, or know of, a WC CIC based Star Citizen squadron? Is anyone interested? I've noticed there are a heap of other squadrons already, and there was talk a while ago of a CIC carrier (I think the thread played around with names for the carrier, the 'Eisen' coming to the top...

Hey! I resent that! (says the 117)

On the subject of the current poll... I don't know why the bar is so popular. Sure, you can talk to fellow pilots and down a few ales, but the Barracks is it for me. Where else can you creepily watch your comrades in their sleep? What other room has a single door between safety and the...

I don't see how that's a problem... quasars (and pulsars) apparently spin at fantastic rates & are super dense (compared to solar masses). This would make them ideal for jumping/bending space in accordance with the canon WC physics of jump drives. For any civilisation routinely dealing with...

It was my thought that jump buoys were also comm relays. Privateer would have you believe you can cross a system in 20 mins, but thats just silly! I would bring up quantum entanglement etc. etc. So, to answer your question, I would treat comms as near-instantaneous, given all the combined...

http://robertsspaceindustries.com/vanduul-warship-analysis/ I love this. Completely under the radar for most, glaringly obvious to us. Let's begin! 'self-destruct when threatened with capture' 'Goran Horde' 'quasi-pictographic writing' 'video that appears 'overly green' ' 'metals tend to...

Freelancer was a really nice middle ground - beautiful asteroid fields which didn't insta-kill you when you bashed into them, but if you were in combat and didn't dodge enough they would strip your shields and make life difficult. Here's hoping Sq42 take a leaf from that book...

When I first purchased WC3 I could not get it to run for love nor money on my PC. Thought the CD's were corrupt. Returned to store, worked fine on the PC's in-store. Turned out my old Creative 2x CD player didn't have drivers that were compatible with the WC3 cds. So I conned my father (who...
