    Underrated Sci-Fi gems from the 90s

    The WC movie had some nice designs and I like the "lived" universe feel (a nod to Star Wars). Matthew Lillard was good as Maniac. But all in all...a poor film.

    What do you HATE (or at least dislike) in each Wing Commander game?

    WC4 Re-using the WC3 Victory model for the Lexington and the "Concordia-class" carriers. Got to spend money on FMV instead right? ☹️ The Border Worlds fighters. They were a new benchmark for ugly. And there are a lot of ugly designs in the WC universe. Tolwyn as the villain. Never very...

    Service entry dates for Confed fighters

    ...and the Hellcat is garbage for a fighter designed in the mid 2660s! Anyone want to mod a "Super Hellcat" variant for WC3? Maybe give it to us starting with the Ariel campaign?

    Service entry dates for Confed fighters

    Playing WC3...once again! The Excalibur just got unlocked for me. Service entry date is listed as March of 2676. So, Loaf is right again; the developers intention was to have WC3 take place 10 years after the end of WC2 SO2. Even the Morningstar would have been old news by then!

    What do you HATE (or at least dislike) in each Wing Commander game?

    I agree with the lack of cockpits in WC4 and the Bugs being a big letdown in WCP. Generally I think the first 3 games had a concept - WW2 (specifically the war in the Pacific) in space. Even the uniform designs, especially in 1 and 2, seemed retro. This made them unique. The games that followed...

    Service entry dates for Confed fighters

    Longbow was supposed to be state of the art I would guess. Victory only receives them for the Ariel campaign perhaps? Everything else is old or middle aged. The Arrow must have been intended, as was speculated many years ago in this thread, to be a modern advanced variant (auto-slide...

    Service entry dates for Confed fighters

    HOLY CRAP! Pressing alt-s during fighter selection in WC3 gives you additional info on each fighter - INCLUDING WHEN THEY ENTERED SERVICE! 🤯 Here is the info: The Arrow - May 11, 2660. So it is an older design The Hellcat - Sept. 12, 2669. WHAAAAAT!!??? T-bolt - Dec. 25, 2665. Seems about...

    What do you HATE (or at least dislike) in each Wing Commander game?

    WC1 I haven't played it in so long. It was also the first game so I think I will just skip it... WC2 The Epee being worse than the Ferret - the ship you start with! The fact that your torpedos can get shot down. In fact, I don't really like the whole phase shield thing. WC3 Too few...

    History of Privateer 3

    Thanks Loaf. The late 90s were a strange time for gaming. I can't believe stuff like Warcraft and Starcraft took off and Space Sims went from the pinnacle of gaming to being non-mainstream within half a decade. It is strange too since FPS became and are still so popular and Space Sims are...

    I hope LOAF sees this! 😀 Where can I find the best info on the history of Privateer 3s development and reasons for cancellation?

    If there was a new Wing Commander game?

    Where can I get these WCP docs that go into the Nephilim more?

    If there was a new Wing Commander game?

    I would be happy with: 1. A remake of WC1. The first game had no real character development and a very thin plot. So I think I would be okay with this. Would love to explore the Tiger's Claw of course. 2. A "special edition" of WC3. Leave all the live action elements in of course, but...

    Wing Commander 3 as Seen From the 21st Century (February 22, 2021)

    Yeah, the reaction of your potential love interests when they get rejected does seem petty and childish. I felt that way in 1994 and still do now, but in the end that is a very minor gripe. The audio issues I also experienced on my last playthrough 2 years ago. I didn't like the longbow much...

    What Confed or Kilrathi fighter had your favourite beam weapon loadout?

    I will be stunned if anyone doesn't choose a fighter that includes tachyon weaponry! 😃 My Top 3: Excalibur Bearcat Crossbow Sadly, the crossbow really didn't have the maneuverability to make the most out of it's loadout and the Bearcat's weapons were poorly positioned on the airframe. Have to...
