    Progress Update

    That Bengal is the yummiest thing I've ever seen. If anything, I'd lose the rear-most windows near the top of the "wings", which IMHO are a bit too close to the engines.

    3d Cockpits?

    It's just a regular mesh. There is the same poly limit of about 1200 faces than for any other mesh.

    3d Cockpits?

    The cockpit struts are just regular meshes, referenced to in the ship file (regular WCP uses co_ as a prefix for the cockpit strut meshes). WCP uses a 60 degree FOV... testing your mesh with the appropriate camera in your 3d modeling application will give a pretty accurate preview of the final...

    xbox 360 price

    You most definitely will not find an xbox360 for under R$1.700 anywhere in Brazil. Last I checked the PS3 was even more expensive, and the Wii starts at around R$1.000. So yes, consoles in general are quite pricey here, considering that you can put together a beast of a computer with that kind...

    WC:CD Vanguard Progress..(Vision Shots)

    That's prety stupid. You're interested in finding answers that are provided in Star Soldier, but you won't read it because you aren't interested in a particular Wing Commander game. So what you do instead is post those questions to a Wing Commander forum and expect people to copy and paste the...

    BWS status

    You don't understand why Confed doesn't want a secessionist movement to have a carrier, or what the difference is between a secessionist movement having carriers and a sovereign nation having carriers...? As LOAF pointed out, apparently the UBW's declaration of independence (while possibly not...

    BWS status

    So you would give command of a submarine to a fireman, instead of to a submarine captain that defected? :confused: You thought "an active service Border Worlds ship means war!" was a reference to... an attack... on a Confed ship...? :confused:

    BWS status

    What other option is there...? And again, you seem to ignore most of everyone else's points and base your argument on things like "it seems the Intrepid would be likely to have malfunctions, so it would be the last ship you want as a training ship" - can you honestly not see how there is nothing...

    OpenGl Stars

    That does look pretty good indeed, though I guess I'm biased. :p Anyway, glad I could help. :)

    YET ANOTHER silly question...

    The object viewer gives you info on all ships in the game. As for customizing your ship, it's not possible, you only get to pick between two or three different ships in certain missions.

    YET ANOTHER silly question...

    For the record, saving the Sao Paulo is supposed to be very difficult, so don't feel too bad. :p

    OpenGl Stars

    Eddie, you can use our stars if you really just wanted something very similar to them. If not, the way I did them was hand painting a non-tileable starfield texture in Photoshop and then adapting it in 3dsmax (rotating the same non-tileable texture and then using mix maps and gradients to make...

    Ctd

    Hmm, strange. If it is something you can reproduce every time you perform the same actions during the mission, it sounds like a mission bug... but mission bugs produce very specific error messages instead of the generic windows crash messages.

    A question RE: the Ralatha/Snakeir raid:

    Actually, we have the finger-of-death cheat which is the same as in Prophecy and Secret Ops. A quick and reliable way to ruin the game. :p

    A question RE: the Ralatha/Snakeir raid:

    Hmm, what do you mean? You can zoom in on the nav map by using the [ and ] keys, and you can rotate it with the numpad arrow keys, if I'm not mistaken. Ship names are shown below each icon so color shouldn't be too much of a problem, either. :)

    The Art of Wing Commander Arena - Part Fifty-Five (January 16, 2008)

    Wow, that's a really, really nice space station design. It looks straight out of Secret Ops to me. Plunkett-level good looks there. :p I almost wish they hadn't gone through the trouble of replacing it with Perry, even if it would mean one less gimmick from the other games.

    Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion

    I really liked Morrowind, but Oblivion isn't as great IMHO. The only real improvement (apart from the visuals, but even this I find debatable) is that the NPCs have schedules instead of being completely motionless beings... but there were a number of changes for the worst. It does have that...

    Hakaga Mission Challenge

    Voiced by the actual WC2 Tolwyn and read straight out of Fleet Action, no less! :D We use the stock WCP/SO AI, which assigns each pilot a set of values between 1 and 6 (I think) for about 5 different attributes (flying, shooting, survivability, et cetera). So yes, we tried to make the Drakhai...

    Dreaming of Ep. 5

    Mr. Strategically Positioned Gothri did that in Standoff, too. And as much as I like the idea of hearing what people would expect from Ep 5 (it's a neat thing and I don't think we've had a specific thread for this kind of thing in previous episodes), I feel the need to point out that any major...

    Thoughts on Standoff (*spoiler warning*)

    Actually, ships without afterburners gain a scoring bonus in the simulator. :p (And the Wraith gets a penalty for being too good.)
