Rarotonga as it is only a four hour flight from where I live. That was an amazing set-up to pop the question. Well done, sir. :)

Nah, you'll want the extra target for the Kilrathi to shoot at later. Some of the other missions in Dakota are... hard. For Dakota #1: The second Drayman won't jump-in if you don't come too close to the navpoint. So as soon as you see those Jalthi, stop. Taunt them non-stop until they come...

The Kilrathi Saga version of WC2 can be finicky. Personally I would get a copy of WC2 DOS version from eBay or something, and use DOSBox to run it.

Much congrats! The engagement phase can be testing at time but always fun... (I'm on my second week back from honeymoon, woohoo)

The six-gunned Jalthi flies in a distinctively slow pattern, and since all three are attacking the Exeter, will pose no real threat to you. Save your missiles for them when they do an attack run - one hit will usually "spin" them and throw off their aim. Ideally you should be able to pick one...

Is it even possible to fly all the way to the fault line by following the trench? The last time I tried it, I ended up in what seems like a dead end with two possible paths. Go in one and come out the other...

I've taken the liberty of branching off to the WC3 losing path. Took me 4 hours to play, edit and encode the video, and 4 days to upload the damned thing to Youtube - having severe problems with my router and random disconnections :( Anyway hope you enjoy these: 1 2 I shall post the...

Have you looked at YouTomb and see if your video was there and why it was taken down?

Bonus material: I re-played Delius #1 and lose to get the other missions in the Delius series. Delius #2: 1 2 Delius #3: 1 After this it bring us to Torgo also.

We arrived at Delius, its main feature being an extensive asteroid field. Captain Eisen explained that we are at Delius to establish a convoy supply route, however the Kilrathi are already doing so and have built a supply base somewhere. Vagabond and I set out in Arrows, and we found the...

I apologise in advance if my write-ups are not too exciting, I'm not much for diaries... Ariel #1: 1 2 I try to destroy capital ships first, as I'm not sure if any of them jump out on this one. Ariel #2: 1 2 3 This is quite a test of endurance, definitely one of the more difficult...

According to the CIC game guide, the campaign path branches from Ariel to either Delius or Caliban. If you didn't manage to take out the base for the first time, there are two more missions you can fly there. If you win Delius or Caliban, you get taken to Torgo. If you lose Delius, it's the...

Here's my Blackmane writeup. Blackmane 1: Took Vaquero with me in Hellcats to Blackmane base. It was under attack by several waves of Dralthi and Darkets, which were not much trouble... Then the Paktahn bombers arrive, led by "Bloodmist" nar Hallas. At this point I wish I brought Hobbes...

Heheheh, I love that damage report at the fourth screenshot! Wing Commander I and II will explode your ship if either the power plant, shields, or engines are destroyed. This doesn't seem to apply here :) Minzoferrari is me... I try to keep up and decided to pre-play the Ariel series as...

Going on a tangent, I wonder how those battlecruisers fare in fluid space - without shields, I wonder what adaptations were done to allow them to function. In general, shields also allow navigating through hazardous environments, e.g. TCS Tarawa hiding inside the gas giant planet.

In the Flint retrieval mission, I find that destroying the Fralthra II cruiser first helps with her chances. Her barrage of IFF missiles seem to do an adequate job of keeping the Darkets off her back, but those anti-matter guns on the cruiser will bypass shields and tear her longbow to shreds...

I would be interested to see how you handle DOSBox WC3 recordings. If I use the internal video capture in DOSBOX, then I have to configure WC3 to use Sound Blaster music, as the General MIDI emulation is a pass-through to the host operating system and the music will not be recorded. I am...

Well done takin' down those "sabres" on Mission #14. Notice their triple particle cannons and tougher-than-usual shields... the mission somehow used the morningstar stats in those ships.

I actually didn't like the dreadnaught mission that much, it didn't feel polished at all. I haven't played the asteroid base mission in the Delius system though, it will be on my todo list :)

Good spotting, the WC1 reference to Deneb sector is definitely more significant in light of WC2 and SO. Here's some static screenshots of the action: Your wingman will simply wilt under the guns of those gratha at Nav 1 unless you taunt them both and divert their attention on you. After...
