Tachyon isn't half bad so far, it's no Wing Commander... heck... it's no StarLancer even, but it's worth a look. Campbell really helps you to not take the game seriously. If I had to give Tachyon a different title it would be "Wing Commander Light". It's a good game for people new to space...

I just found Tachyon at my local Electroics Boutique for the staggaring price of four dollars so I decided to pick it up.

Forgot about those books entirely... The episode of the Star Trek cartoon that was mentioned with the Kzinti was actually inspired by those books and supposedly a homage to them, except the cartoon episode was rather dumb. I'm sure Robert's took more than one idea from them as well. I...

I was thinking the same thing. I would love to see what the other races would've been too, I was unhappy with the Nephilem, I mean really, bug aliens? Who hasn't done the generic bug alien thing before? The Kilrathi were at least a little more original.

I really should finish playing homeworld someday... I'm just too lazy I think.

Yes I understand how much better it is, a friend of mine has one. I'll get a GBA SP when the Nintendo DS is out and they go down in price, or I'll just get a Nintendo DS.

I have a first generation GBA as well, I never felt like throwing down the money for an SP when they came out. I spent the $99 they want for an SP on a Gamecube.

I agree, I'm more impressed with the Star Giants graphics than the Prophecy ones even if they're "3D Sprites" instead of models. Not that Prophecy didn't have impressive graphics for the GBA, they were just too dark I think.

Ah.. I see. I always kind of wondered exactly what happened. Anyway, even if it was just a tech demo. I would've rather seen something like Star Giants than Prophecy.

As most of you all ready know, before Wing Commander Prophecy showed up on the GBA, Raylight was working on another game that was basically a homage to the early Wing Commander 1 and 2 universe in terms of gameplay and graphical style called "Star Giants" But alas, this project apparently...

It's a Freespace 2 total conversion that's currently in production, someone else will probably pop in soon to give you the details. Or better yet, everything you need to know is probably here http://wcsaga.solsector.net/ at Saga's homepage. Including a FAQ.

And any missles or countermeasures you used would probably be reloaded too I suppose?

Exactly, if you don't have a C: drive mounted then the CD doesn't have anything to install to.

It makes sense, the Nephilim are bugs which is why there's so many of them which is why they're more expendable. I guess a galactic power like "The Aligned Peoples" would choose them as their forward attack troops. Most races are probably overwhelmed by the Nephilim easily which probably makes...

EA will keep it souly because it's a classic game franchise and to prevent anyone else from making new games for it to compete against them with it. The only thing they might do is allow a developer the rights to make a game but they'd be the one's publishing it of course as with most of their...

Attack of the Clones, like Wing Commander, is not very hard to make fun of.

Those were the jury rigged mass driver turrets that they attatched to the bow of the ship though, that needed to be manually controlled, not the turrets built onto the Tarawa originally, weren't they?

Wouldn't thousands of fake ships just be a huge waste of resources that could be used to build hundreds of real ones in the same ammount of time?

It was submission one, not done by the actual site staff who didn't make one on Wing Commander. I don't think it was very funny, but it is very true.

Speaking of which I'm sure you've all seen this http://ter.air0day.com/?script=wingcommander
