    WC wargame idea

    I've played some, if not all, of all 3 SFC games - while the ship management dynamics are excellent and graphics are way better than anything I could do, I found use of fighters and shuttles to be very limited (and virtually none in SFC3), and there was no support for pilots or resource...

    WC wargame idea

    I've started work on GUI, interface, streamlining, etc. Here's a screenshot of what it's like so far... Sorry for the blur, but you can see the 3 Vampires, 3 Panthers, 3 Morays, 3 Manta Bs, & the Midway [Screenshot removed 7-16-2005]

    WC wargame idea

    it's doing fine - I'm working on the GUI stuff: being able to select a fighter from the map, ordering it around, etc. the next step will be to implement carriers and how they launch fighters I can't set a date for a demo, but one's coming

    WC wargame idea

    here's an update on the game so far, which I've renamed WC: Fleet Admiral (Space Marshal sounded too far up the chain of command): - I'm starting in WCP, & here's the data I've entered ----------------guns-----missiles-----fighters-----capships...

    WC wargame idea

    wow - thanks, Jason - I hadn't thought of half of that stuff - it'll be a nightmare to program, but I'll try periodic resupply is a good idea - perhaps you would have to defend a transport convoy to get it I haven't thought about terrain yet, but planets, nebulae, and asteroid fields...

    WC wargame idea

    Thanks for the input, and feel free to continue - I'll just add my comments here: - Here's how I think I'll implement capships & capship killing: Capships have a core strength (like WC4), and phase shield emitters (like WCP). Torpedoes do no damage to the shields, but lots to the core...

    WC wargame idea

    I've started progress on the game, and have some questions for the community: - Which era would you like to play first? (WC1, WC2, WC3, WC4, Prophecy, SO) - Would you want to play the Kilrathi, Nephilim, or Border Worlds? - Do you mind if the game is 2D? - How long should a campaign be? -...

    WC wargame idea

    An old copy of Harpoon made me think of starting a wargame based on WC. Here's how it would go: You're the CAG on a fleet carrier and are responsible for assigning pilots and fighters on missions that the captain assigns you. You have a certain number of fighters, pilots, fuel, and missiles...

    Casper's first poll II

    to me, dialogue makes for a faster plot - I just finished Dune by Frank Herbert (a must-read, by the way), and while it's awesome, it moves too slow for my taste I think a Wing Commander story should have lots of shoot-em-up action, a bit of romance and mystery mixed in, and not much...

    Casper's first poll II

    i changed the "last time" line - thanks for seeing that the sivar was mentioned in the chapter 4 mission briefing, and it just took that long for the bad guys to get it working on mistral sea psych, you must not have read the whole thing, since each chapter has 3 web pages - try using the...

    The other, but important, CIC forum members!

    I'm offended - psych, you're pissing off people you haven't even met Quoted from the FAQ: "Also, if you think another user is breaking the rules, do _not_ flame or harass him/her." "Since there are different people of different tastes and points of view, let's just say our opinions in a...

    What makes a good fanfic?

    I did that with my Marine character, Major Jay Obutu (son of the helmsman in the WC movie), and I think it worked out well, considering that the first Obutu was just a minor character in the WC universe. However, I would refrain from using any Blairs, Tolwyns, Deverauxs, Caseys, Marshalls...

    money for WC fiction

    all right, well, I don't want to argue over a computer game psych, you're right - I didn't have money in mind when I started writing, and I guess to ask for it now would ruin the spirit that this forum and the CIC represents let me spell it out: In no way are you obligated to pay to read...

    money for WC fiction

    apparently, you missed my point: I didn't say you had to pay to read something that is copyrighted, as balrog suggested think of it as a donation for a hardworking writer, which is more than psych can call himself anyway, i'll continue working on the epilogue of my novel - i might actually...

    Mission 9

    2 questions: 1) do the squids keep coming forever? or do they stop sometime? 2) how far away do you have to get for the autopilot light to come on?
