Yeah, sorry about the scrolling issues; I agree on all counts! It was one of those cases where I could and should have adjusted those titles to make them readable in real-time playback, but couldn't help myself once I'd started inserting familiar names and references (it's surprising just...

Thanks for the pics, Chris. Looks like a fun package.

Thanks guys -- glad you enjoyed it. :)

Point your XCU-50 Optical DataZig Console here for the latest burst of info: TNC INFOBURST 2669.251 [Click: Download Now!] 96MB 9m:52s XviD/DivX It's now on YouTube too, but I'd advise grabbing the download above as most of the titles and references are difficult to make out on the smaller...

How did the mammoth rendering session turn out? :)

Happy New Year, all!

Merry Christmas! Great work on the festive art, guys. :)

There's a line on P.11 of Victory Streak under the 2669 GCM Competition Results which states that "this annual show of skills featured the first-ever appearance of the Confederation stealth fighter prototype, along with its integral MX-27BC guided-proton warhead." Perhaps it was just an...

Action Stations continued... I can't edit my previous post, so here's as much of the remaining Confed command personnel and Fleet composition as I can ascertain from Action Stations. As an addendum, Rear Admiral Dayan's first name is Naomi. Also, I was wondering about Vance Richard's...

I'd agree that it's certainly one way of smoothing this out, although given what LOAF said about Forstchen using the original 1991 bible I'm happy to let it slide, especially as it only popped up in subsequent publications of the time line. The only potential wrench to Confed cooking the...

Heh. A pity about the stand though; I'm sure it would have gone done well. Yeah, must have been great to meet all the guys 'n gals behind Arena and check out the development work -- real nice of them too to give you guys so much artwork to show the community. Cool. I don't have a copy...

So, how was it? You guys mentioned the New York mission (to Gaia) in the news posts, as well as a visit to Baen Books and setting up in the lobby of a hotel to promote Wing Commander during DC. Hope the latter two went well and you were able to catch up with some other Wingnuts! After...

From Action Stations: From the foreword written post-WC4 (no date of publication attached): - Admiral Geoffrey Tolwyn, VC, MOH, DSC, KCB (decorations) ; First introduced in AS as Ensign Geoffrey Tolwyn (2634) Note: seems a bit of a surprise that his promotion to Space Marshal isn't listed...

Sure. Apologies for the belated reply though, I thought I'd refresh my memory of Action Stations by starting a complete read through of it today. As you say, the time line entries in Claw Marks, Victory Streak, etc are describing the events from a "big picture" perspective rather than the...

Did this appear in a local paper or one of the national broadsheets or tabloids? Most of the national papers dual publish content on their websites and quite a few now produce identical electronic versions too, such as happens with the Guardian, Daily Telegraph, etc, so there could be a...

Thanks for clarification, guys. I'm sure this has been discussed before, but what's the word on the deviation in Action Stations from the outline of the "McAuliffe Ambush" as it appeared in Claw Marks et al?

Wow, it's pretty neat to hear that serious consideration and work has been put into a Wing Commander-based FPS in the past. I personally wouldn't mind whatever form it took: whether a heavily-scripted shooter (e.g. Call of Duty series, Half Life 2), a more free-form variant such as Far Cry...

I was reading Victory Streak yesterday to check some points for a little project and was surprised by the gap between at least one of the entries, especially in light of Action Stations. Particularly the 2639.033 entry. A summarised lead up to it is as follows: 2634.186: Anna Magdelena...

Heh, I think so -- I only went back and played WC1 and 2 for the first time around 1997, after originally being snagged by Privateer and WC3 when they were released. Do not forget to *enjoy the sauce*! :p

I'd probably also go with Dundradal's suggestion to read them in order of their publishing date, but either way: enjoy! :)
