    WC Game Downloads

    No, Prometheus, there is no such archive, save for personal collections, and the odds of there being such an archive are... rather low. As for the copyright, it's owned by EA, not CR. While some parts of WC1 were done on a somewhat informal contractual basis, the copyright of the game as a...

    Wingmen in WC: Prophecy

    To be fair, though, they're mercs, not currently active military. Mercs in general tend to be somewhat more forgiving of not having strict military bearing as long as it doesn't interfere with the job.

    The sticks that got me through the Kilrathi War and beyond...

    Of the 3 PC sticks I've used, 2 were TM, first the FCS Mk2 I used until the spring got too stretched out and wouldn't hold a straight line, and the third/current being a Top Gun Fox 2 Pro. The second one? A Sidewinder 2 Force Feedback, which no matter how I adjusted the tension, was either too...

    New Airplane

    ... and are going to be building their 787 interiors in South Carolina, potentially bringing $6.1 billion to the state, anually. Guess what state I live in? :p :D (No points for looking at the "Location" thingy for my account here. :p )

    Is The X Series Any Good?

    Bruce or not, I personally wouldn't recommend Tachyon. The game was fairly linear, and once you go through the two branches (GalSpan and Border Wor... erm, Bora Coalition :p ) you're stuck in station, as Tachyon doesn't have a random mission generator like Privateer, and without a mission you...

    Science officer Aurora Finley, now a roaming musician?

    Holding a rank in the military doesn't necessarily give one a military mindset. Think, for example, of surgeons or chaplains in RL militaries. Sure, they're getting a military paycheck, but their mindset is far more likely to be about saving lives than taking them (if y'all will pardon the gross...

    Help me decide!

    Right. With a few missing (and missed) ships, Academy was pretty much the WC2 engine with a mission designer. Armada was kind of a mix of WC and turn-based strategy game, and the first to allow you to fully play either side. As a single-player game it's not spectacular, but that's a result, as...

    A stupid discussion by stupid people

    t.c.cgi, in a thread full of people being asses, your last post puts you in the lead, especially the first part. That's not something to be proud of.

    Star Trek Voyager and Wing Commander II

    I meant it's most likely pure coincidence.

    Help me decide!

    Yeah, I'd say go with WC4, to keep the continuity going.

    Star Trek Voyager and Wing Commander II

    Most likely, there's no more a connection between Voyager and WC2SO2 than between WC2SO2's Ransom and Cordelia Ransom from the Honor Harrington series.

    Computer question - Windows message

    Except if it's the manager that's the problem child. :p "Do as I say, not as I do," indeed. :rolleyes:

    Delicious Kilrathi?

    I believe that it's been submitted for the next DSM (psychiatry manual, not the car line from the 90s) that taking anything PETA says seriously is a symptom of mental retardation. :p

    Delicious Kilrathi?

    Canibalism is eating your own species. Last I checked humans don't have tails or felinoid snouts, so I'm pretty sure they're not Kilrathi. :p As for eating dead kats, as long as care is taken to cook it thoroughly to kill off any parasites or other nasties that might cross the species barrier...

    chances of future wing commander game(s)

    Then both you and your friend are idiots. Yes, I'm being rude and insulting. I don't feel the need to be polite to swat flies buzzing around my room, either.

    WCP ejection pod in real life!

    Also along those lines, the original B-1A was designed to eject the whole cockpit, instead of the more conventional individual ejection seats. One of the changes when Reagan revived the B-1 program was changing back to the individual ejection seats, as the original design's focus on...

    TCN or TCSN?

    I don't think it's ever said when it's one or the other, but there are TCN pilots as well as TCSF ones. For example, Jason "Bear" Bondarevski (Gettysburg mutiny series in WC2SO1, and in the Forstchen novels) was TCN, but still flew (and was even the WC of the Tarawa, in End Run). And then...

    Making it harder....

    Neither of which is actually, y'know, Secret Ops. :p
