It just goes to show that Blair has an identity crisis. Can you blame the guy for not wanting to talk about it?

The long rifle on the German Price of Freedom cover looks badass.

No. I meant the Plunketts have a similar profile to the Nevadas above and below its centerline.

I'm from Oklahoma, so by all that is holy, they're Oklahoma-class!..........yeah, they're Nevadas, my mistake :confused: Shoulda Googled before I posted... Anyway, those Plunketts kick butt! Just have at least two at every major junction, and you have a nice defensive line. By the time the...

During a couple of cinematics in Secret Ops, Confed battleships are seen engaging the enemy. They kinda remind me of the old Oklahoma-class battleships of WW1-2 with turrets above and below the hull.

I would like to offer my theory on why the Kilrathi look as they do in the movie. Here goes!... Just like how many Earth television shows were eventually picked up by the Kilrathi (we see this in the novels as Bugs Bunny is referenced over comms by a Cat pilot), one of which was Austin...

The Kilrathi looked like they should, thank goodness! You only saw them in taunt communiques though, IIRC.

I agree with the poor cinematics, but I found that actually having to put time and effort into turning a profit to be a nice challenge. As they say, the first million is the hardest, but once you get there, it's easier to maintain a steady stream of money with automated cargo transports, and...

Wow, that ties up the loose ends I've had concerning the Mantu for the past several years. :) I never got a chance to read about that race in Prophecy's manual, because my mom accidentally spilled my Mountain Dew all over it!

That's disappointing, I want to bust up some Mantu! Maybe a future fan project will allow for it:cool:

^Subject^

That brings about another question I've always had....but I'll put it in a separate thread.

I got it working fully! To view the text in the cutscenes: As soon as you're through with a mission, exit to DOS. Enter SNDTEST. Change configuration, select Sound Blaster, and when you get to the screen where you see 220 as default, change it to 280 at the bottom. After...

Yeah, Broadswords are fun and challenging! The only time I gritted my teeth in one was where you had to beam in a communique pod while next to a Ralatha.

Aww, that's cold!

I put it up to 10,000 and had it sit for about 3 minutes, still no-go. Anything else I can do? EDIT: I noticed I forgot to adjust the framerate, which solved the matter. However, now the dialogue text doesn't show up. :S

Hopefully someone's played this, I'm taking a shot in the dark here... After installing DOSbox, and the game, initial game sartup was successful. I can also load a game, look at the different planes, start a game, and view cinematics..oh and the music is fine. I start to load an actual...

It looks like an M-1911 Colt .45, but without a hammer. It could have a self-contained alternate means for igniting the propulsive agent in the projectile. The word Dyret is looking for is ejection port, and since the weapon has one, I'm leaning for classifying it as a ballistic firearm...

Haha...well Super Wing Commander also had the main character named 'Armstrong' instead of Blair, Talons as Grathas, and Gladii as Raptors:o Especially since the main character has a different name, SWC probably isn't considered canon (probably!).

I can answer that one for ya. When Chris Roberts envisioned Wing Commander 1, he had it heavily influenced from Star Wars and didn't worry about any infringements (he didn't expect the game to get quite so popular). When making the movie, he wanted the World War 2 element in space to remain...
