Maybe that's why you should be paying attention when you're blasting 'em out of the sky ... then again, in WC:P/SO, the amount of enemies onscreen at any one time multiplied by a factor of about 20 ... dodge away from one to smack into another ... One of the many little things cut as WC tried...

Oh, I see ... (grumble) but I'm replaying the earlier missions tonight, so hopefully this won't be a problem anymore (grumble) ... somehow, I don't remember Wing Commander I or II ever being this hard, but then again, maybe that's the point :)

Ahh, the dumbfire. I'm alright with them ... better used on capships than fighters, though (rocket pods notwithstanding ;) The REAL reason WCP fighters can carry so many missiles is that, as opposed to mounting the missiles directly to the fuselage, they put them all in wired-up Bags of...

*Sigh* I was hoping I wouldn't have to replay any missions (I have the same problem) - I've already had to redo a few more than once, and I *HATE* replaying them ... *thinking* now, which mission did the Dauntless get hit by 4 torps while I wasn't looking (one for each of the five engines...

The whole reason I got into Subspace was because I heard of the mod. Then I found it didn't exist anymore >:( ... the rest is cool tho ... Scheduled games are a must ...

Wow! Now let's see THAT ship in a WCSO mod ;)

Uhg, the Ferret. The OTHER reason I like bombers: I have this nasty habit of giving enemies a bump (or two or three), and if you do that in the Ferret, bad things happen. (If it were real, I couldn't even fit in the thing ...) One thing I liked to do in the earlier WC games (in a heavier...

I've only cheated ONCE - invul in one of the later missions of WCII (can't remember which) ... I did play one mission through about 20 times tho ... *Pioneering the achievement of every possible losing cutscene in WC I and II ...*

I'm a Devastator. I learned how to use the plasma cannon for everything - it makes a nice antifighter gun if you can get the required lead down nicely ...

I'm with Bugrof on this. If it is possible, a complete cockpit greatly immerses one in the game, and adds a touch of realism. It also makes it seem more like a serious sim ...

How I learned about WC? In '95 or '96 (I think - I was 9 or so at the time) I was digging around through the storied Huge-Boxes-Of-Programs in our basement. I dug out a CD with WCI and it's two expansions on it. Naturally, I was curious (I thought it was a flight sim ...) and I popped it in...

Oh. Misunderstanding on my part - thanks for the information about the effect!

Gee, I'm sorry, I just tend to populate a PDA tech support forum where certain people don't know how to turn the dang thing on! (I'm thinking of one in particular ...) All this discussion over a simple yes or no question ;) And to answer yours, D3D is the only thing available ...

It's been a while since I had a Voodoo card - I can't remember :rolleyes: I was looking because I was playing Unknown Enemy (excellent SO mod). In the simulator, there is a "Nebula" mission. All that was different was a moving green space texture, and full green lighting on all the ships...

Origin only wrote a fog routine for the 3dfx Voodoo chipset in Prophecy/Secret Ops - has anyone made a patch to allow D3D devices to have fog in the game? (Secret Ops preferred - thinking of Unknown Enemy)
