    People just don't make games like WC anymore

    That's actually why I played the campaign, I was under the mis-taken impression that it would take me all over the place. But since there's only like ten missions you actually have to do, it only ends up covering a very small part of what was made into a very large universe. My much bigger...

    Another Internet Cynical Essay About FMV Games

    It's a screenshot from Rebel Assault II - which used FMV throughout, including in some of the action/gameplay sequences with preplanned movements and sequences. EDIT: In retrospect I'd like to see him support his claim that the only articles about Video Games in those days were 'Nintendo Killed...

    Freelancer was Shockingly short.

    People just don't make games like WC anymore

    That's an interesting opinion and it makes me wonder - who wrote the game stories, was it Chris Roberts or someone else?

    Rapier Dash

    I actually had no idea when Freelancer came out, so thanks for letting me know! I owned and played a used copy long after it had been released with absolutely no idea that it was connected to Wing Commander at all until I picked up Starlancer sometime later.

    Wing Commander Themed Battleship?

    I think it's a gunboat of some sort, pretty sure the submarine is three like the destroyer, then there is four for the battleship and five for the carrier?

    Neural Net - is that a reference to the Freelancer Neural Net?

    Free Mechwarrior 4 Mercs

    What I want to know is why my upload rate in MTX is always (I do mean always) at least four times my download rate...when I specifically set my max upload connections to 0. EDIT: The extractor is exactly the same as the MTX program...without the ability to start stop or pause the download...

    Free Mechwarrior 4 Mercs

    I tend to shy away from torrent downloads in general. Somehow the idea of connecting to multiple people's computers to get a file just unnerves me from a security standpoint.

    Would have been nice if the news update had mentioned this was a torrent download.

    Viral Outbreak Spreads to Sol Sector (May 2, 2010)

    That's neat stuff! I'm pretty interested in seeing where all this goes! I thought it was going to be something like ten little nephilim 10x10 pixel ship images hidden all over the CIC site and we had to find them and click on them to see some super secret piece of concept art. Maybe in the future!

    Viral Outbreak Spreads to Sol Sector (May 2, 2010)

    Dang, I was hoping this was some kind of virtual scavenger hunt on the CIC. :( EDIT: Did some thinking about this after hitting the facebook group to 'like' it and I realized that in the future sites like the CIC won't exist. New Games coming out will have 'facebook groups' instead of having to...

    Computer question - Windows message

    I plan to. I'm going to pull the hard drive, wipe it, and give it a Black Light sweep before doing anything with it, though. The problem with protection programs (like AVG or Zone Alarm, which is what we use [with the integrated anti-virus anti-spyware program) is that it's only as good as...

    Computer question - Windows message

    I saw this recently on a computer I administer - what's most curious about it is that it popped up in an IE window, triggered by a webpage in Firefox. At any rate, the 'scan' window is really just a bunch of animated graphics - if you saw it you would know that immediately because it likely...

    Planet landable craft.....Some information from someone in the know

    Isn't there some evidence of this in the End Run book? IIRC, the First Marines hook up with the Tarawa and they have their own transport, but when the specific landing later on the planet with the fairy tale castle (I have a headache and can't remember the name :( Ghorah Khar or something like...

    The original Midway (CV-41)

    She's also visitable in San Diego - the CIC Staff should take a trip some time, that would really be something. You guys could get photos in the pilot ready rooms with the WCP flight suits on. :) They did a great job with the Museum, one of the better ones I've been to.

    Speech.tre woes

    I'm not sure, you might be able to get permission from the CIC staff to get a file sent to you, but you could always try here: http://download.wcnews.com/files/wcp/WCP_DEV_BACKUP.zip This is a developers CD from the WCP game that might have what you need in it. I'm not sure, I haven't...

    Confed ships - generally better than Kilrathi equivalents? *Screenshots*

    Action Stations makes it pretty clear that at least at that point, fighters were shielded.

    Confed ships - generally better than Kilrathi equivalents? *Screenshots*

    This is addressed in Zahn's Allegience novel which mentions that at that time (sometime after ANH but before ROTJ) Stormtroopers ranks were beginning to swell with actual recruits (we know they had a Training Academy on Carida that trained recruits, not clones) and that the ISB didn't trust...
