    Buying Wing Commander Novels

    Out of some enthusiasm to read some of the more interesting sounding WC novels (action stations in particular) I did a search on the net today. First I though hell its a bargain (important for a always money stripped student like me), but then I saw the shipping costs (5 times what the book...

    Why is Wing Commander so popular in Germany?

    At least in Austria the Universities decide what they will call the new titles. And from what I know the Dipl.Ing., Magister and Doctor will be kept by quite a few.

    Why is Wing Commander so popular in Germany?

    But that is something totaly normal in language history. Countries always took words from other languages and intermixed them with their own. The difference is that with English it is happening today while Latin, French, Spanish other English words etc. have long lost their original identity...

    Why is Wing Commander so popular in Germany?

    The question for the WC community and the discussion at hand ist, is it relevant for todays WC players and youth? With all said most of those posting here were born decades after WW II and the only connection we have to that period of time are our grandfathers and grandmothers (who dont want to...

    Why is Wing Commander so popular in Germany?

    On a less serious note: Actually he was born on the German side of the twintowns Braunau (Austria) and Simbach (Germany) though he was Austrian. And every Austrian knows that Hitler was German while Beethoven was Austrian :D. But back on topic. My guess on why Germany and from what I know...

    Master of Orion 2

    Sure but for breaking up a massive fleet of enemy ships loads of Disruptors or Plasmas just give you the decisive punch you miss out with SCs. No need for envelopement when your first shot just fries their frontshield and shreds the ship apart.

    Master of Orion 2

    The stellar converter on the highest difficulty or in Multiplayer realy isnte the end all. Real question always was whatever heavy Disruptors or Plasma Cannons were the way to go.

    Les Chevaliers du Ciel (Knights of the Sky)

    Actually Richthoven first commandeered Jasta 11 and then was made leader of JG1 (figher wing) which included several Jastas. JG1 (later named after him) was known as the flying circus as many pilots personalised their planes. Though this was not exclusive to the JG1 Jastas with most Jastas...

    Idiocracy

    Well it may not make it to the large cinemas or may not get a translation but it is probable that some small cinemas pick it.

    Excellent suggestions for Standoff team

    Just to be blunt and edgy id add my oppinion about Standoff. Dont change a bit, its realy well done the way it works now! Some missions gave me a bit of challenge especially in EP3 but in the end I was able to easily acchieve all the mission goals. So its not too hard but a real good...

    There was a more recent WC type game

    I'd say the biggest problem with cross genre games (like in FPS/SpaceSim) is creating or at least adapting two decent engines that fit together. At least technically that should be possible granted enough money is invested into the project (which is unlikely as SpaceSims are considered niche...

    How about.... a WC fanfilm?

    I wouldnt be that pesimistic. There have been several quite decent fanfilms in recent years. But as far as that goes every single one of those speakworthy attempts had quite some cash (10.000 $/€ min.) and at least a semiprofessional crew was involved in the making.
