oh, no no. That was Chris Reid. I was using the stick. Keyboard inputs were less jammy back in the day, or at least that's how I remember, so it's a little harder playing pure KB than in the past. That's also why Ben and I didn't roll much - the control maps for the DosBox that gog's WC1...

It's a good game :) Reasonable depth in terms of gameplay, but simple controls and it doesn't overwhelm you with the intricacies of operating literal capital ships. $50 is plenty depending on what you spend it on. If you buy any premium ships it won't go far at all. But premium ships don't...

Keyboard warrior ftw :)

Now posted to YouTube and open for YouTube tro... um, I mean, comments.

It will take a while to process to Youtube, but for the time being you can also find it on the Twitch archive as a 3-parter: http://www.twitch.tv/cigcommunity/profile

Yeah, it was so much fun, even just sitting in the back and helping to mind chat along with CIG's volunteer moderation crew of course :) Time willing, we hope to do another stream for the Secret Missions later this year; it's LOAF's call of course. If we do, hope you can join us again...

Same, I went back and downloaded it off gog, I couldn't not play a mission or two before going to bed, even though we were all a little tired after 8 1/2 hours of streaming. According to Chris, as you probably noticed, he hadn't played WC1 since finishing it, so remember that during all of that...

Twitch archived the livestream (over 8 1/2 hours!) http://www.twitch.tv/cigcommunity/v/17888033 Ben beat Kurasawa 2 on the first try, and Venice 4 solo after Khajja cut down Hunter a few missions back. How's that for a live performance?

"There she is - one Tarsus, prepped, primed, loaded, locked, and ready to kick some ass." *dubious sideways glance* "Look, she's mine, okay? That's all that really matters." Gorgeous Tarsus, Klavs! :)

Hey there, Stinger - good meeting you at the concert last year. Hoping to try this out at some point :)

Merp. It's all legalspeak with an incomplete record of the facts, so there's plenty of room left for both sides to be murky about it without being substantively dishonest. I figure that many of us around here, being fans of WC and keeping discerning tabs on what the state of the IP's been over...

Gads. From the looks of this first day, the alienation is not yet forgiven or forgotten in the least. I had a few looks at their forum activity and it's just pure hellfire in there. Any game forum can be a tough place, and I know that relatively speaking, we've had it good so far in the CIG...

um. ouch. I don't think the auto-repair unit will be able to handle this one. http://i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--IhtLjmgF--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/erbpmmyskjr56vfqezha.gif

Those are the two finalists for The Next Great Starship competition. They're there to help you vote for the winner of the competition if you're so inclined: https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/13932-The-Next-Great-Starship-Finale-LIVE The interiors aren't really...

No problem, that's why we share :) There's a lot of temporary stuff going on because the game is still in development. You made one pledge for one ship, and that would be the Constellation. However, only three ships are presently sufficiently implemented to use in Arena Commander: The...

I agree with some of this. Have you posted your feedback on the forums (as hazardous as that can be)? All three of the ships in AC right now rely on gimbaled Class-2 'turret lite' weapons. Even thought the Aurora and the 300i are supposed to have fixed weapons, presently even their 'fixed'...

Remember, though - it doesn't necessarily work everywhere when it comes to upgrades and equipment! The hull's fine, but it sounds like it's going to be like Privateer - the greater portion of the expense of your rig... I mean, ship... is in all of your upgrades and equipment.

Yeah, the damage modeling really adds to the experience, though sometimes it leads to some pretty hilarious-looking situations. Scythes look really odd once you blow off their right wings, and if anything they get even more annoying after that - even faster and more maneuverable. I guess when...

Back to WC1 for a moment (since OP seems to be asking about how to get through that game), take a good look at the stats of the fighters you're facing. You'll end up developing your own rules of thumb for how to deal with them. Two examples: 1) Salthi are fragile. While this seems obvious...

Difficulty settings are available in some of the later installments in the series - definitely by WC4, probably earlier. How far along are you? The game is challenging, but it's usually not too bad until about five missions in. Some things can make life difficult if you overlook them...
