Did it appear to anyone else that the damage system in wc1/2 was more... ummm... fun? (if that is the right word) There was something really satisfying about finishing off the last enemy with your one remaining weapon (or ramming!) and limping home at 1/3 normal speed... I just never had that...

Had to vote for Kilrathi Empire. When I found out Armada was going to let you be a cats I did backflips... But when I played the game I did wonder why you spent so much time shooting fluffy balls at each other... Even Privateer at more 'Lasery' lasers... In my opinion they went too far the...

Hmmm... have to use the term 'like' in an interesting way. As I voted in the poll, the Jalthi is the scariest fighter for me to fly against, so I could almost say that it is my favorite Kilrathi fighter in that I have a healthy respect for it (I think the more correct term is 'fear'). What...

I'm really impressed at the detail this thread has generated! Makes me sorry for my spelling critique at the beginning (I'm not really that bothered by it, I just can't pass up an opportunity to be a smartass). Without going into detail on the numbers, has anyone considered future tech...

Heh. There were a bunch of warnings over the P.A. telling parents to 'hold on to their children'. After it took off it did a bunch of low-level flybys at speed. It's incredible to see something a little larger than a 737 moving close to 1000km/h...

From memory the sound they make is incredible - I saw one at an airshow once. Although 1st place for awesomesauce noisemaking goes to the B-1B doing a full afterburner takeoff... deafening is too weak a word.

From memory the ship schematic in cockpit view of WC2 has the turrets flashing on and off when they are firing - you can see it when craft get close. I'm pretty sure turrets never auto-fired in Privateer, however. That really ground my gears.

I love the way the control sticks extend out from the instrument panel... I know its a twin seater, but it really looks like the pilot is supposed to grab one in each hand for some reason... I love cockpit art, something I miss from WC1/2... I wish there was a really nice way to implement it...

Hanger Hangar And I was already searching for these images before I saw your post, Wedge! Ha ha! I'm also a total grammar nazi. So many errors on the internet, so little time to call them all out! I'm on a one man crusade to save the written english language... I would write in a...

It's funny, in wc1/2 (and privateer) I was all over the navmap. There were times in a difficult mission I would spend the extra time and burner fuel to completely circle around an asteroid field just in case I hit one on the way in or out (I once completed Kurasawa 2 & then forgot to ask the...

I kind of thought that was the idea with WC3 & 4 - the obvious one being wc4 when you have to choose to side with Dekker or Maniac - and whoever you don't side with makes your next mission a little more difficult. It was kind of a black and white choice though. I don't quite understand what...

Always seemed to me that you (the player) always did the bulk of the work... especially wc1/2. How many times did you come back for debriefing and have "You took out 11 cats, and [insert wingman] came up empty" or something... Even wc3/4 was a bit like that - so my biggest wish for a new game...

The issue is with the speech pack - in the non-speech version the dealer told you on-screen how much the centurion (and others) cost. It's $200,000, but remember you use your old ship as a trade-in, so you don't need to collect the full amount. I wonder if you disable speech whether it will...

I like the 'mortorized' main gun. Sounds like some kinda gun that shoots zombies or something. Or made by vampires.

This actually makes me MORE excited about it. The Apple model of marketing eh? I'll be waiting for the r4 release - which may be never! Now THAT'S patient.

Already found a typo! 1st screenshot, 4th paragraph (player 'rolls' - I'm sure they mean 'roles'). But that wouldn't stop me playing it were it made!

http://www.kotaku.com.au/2011/10/clive-owens-embarrassing-video-game-past/ Just a bit of a feature about Clive Owen and his past... typically negative about Privateer 2. I LOVED the cutscenes - felt much more dramatic & moody than any other wing commander FMV... Especially loved the final...

Its weird though... the handbook clearly distinguishes 'Torpedo' from 'Missile'... and those 16 ports on the side are labelled 'Missile Launch' while the tubes at the front are labelled as we expect; 'Torpedo'... Those missile ports on the side are also down low, in a different place from where...

Fakety-fake fake fake.

Gah! Just when I thought I had it right! Funny, this is actually closer to the way I had it months ago... Thanks for taking the time to do this for me AD! So, we have 8 Dual Laser turrets - 4 of which I assume are under those hull veranda type things. I would guess the other 4 might be on...
