    Dosbox and WC2 on CD

    Here is a quick question. I have dosbox and wanted to play wc2 using it. Now, I have the CD version where the bat and exe files are on the CD and it writes gamedat to the hard drive. I have mounted both the c:\origin2 file and the d:\ so that it will refer. However, it is telling me that it...

    Ship Names, Political Ramifications

    Surely MacArthur was a general and not actually a navy man. They name ships after great Admirals, Nimitz and such but I cant see why they would name a ship after a general. Saying that was Otto VonBismarck an Admiral, I am sure he was founder of the german fleet

    Vega Class cruiser

    looks like a hand held vacuum cleaner I once had. Ships need to be cool, they need to look cool, swesome sweeping lines. Prophecy era ships looked like poorly rendered polygons with added radar dished with the excelption of the bad guys and teh midway

    Batting .500

    Either way, thanks for the heads up about what .500 means. I have to say though what WC2 is to WC1 in terms of coolness and extra features and interesting bits and bobs is certainly not repeated in WC3 to WC4, prophecy never really featured.

    What would make it a great year for Wing Commander?

    I think it would be perfect if someone could permanently fix WC3 in Kilrathi Saga and if someone could make the keyboard interface work with WC2 in Kilrathi saga. I personally would love to see more add ons and missions for WC1, perhaps up to the time of the tigers claw destruction

    Ugliest Ship

    Like I said before. Looks has nothing to do with it. The factory, utilitarian look will always prevail

    Batting .500

    Ok, clear this up for me. I dont understand what Jazz means when he says there is nothing wrong with batting .500 It makes no sense to me. Is it a baseball thing If this has been answered before I applogise, I did search for it but turned nothing up.

    Ship Names, Political Ramifications

    too true mate, she has been replaced with HMS Bulwark and HMS Albion if I remember correctly. I just always like to think of the reasons ships are called what they are. There is a tradition of calling destroyers after cities in the UK. HMS Birmingham, Sheffield e.t.c. There is also the...

    Ship Names, Political Ramifications

    Ah yes, I know all about the USS intrepid. The HMS Intrepid was another story though. It still exists now as an amphibious attack vessel. Either way, as loaf says we can stretch the mould as much as we like. Blitzkrieg, now I like that one. Form of warefare as pioneered by the Nazis...

    Ship Names, Political Ramifications

    I thought about it and it strikes me as a little odd. The ship names in WC for the most part are taken from current or past ships for example the Lexington, Coventry, or after famous battles, Wake Island or Tarawa. My only problem really seems to be the distribution of the names. Lexington...

    Ugliest Ship

    I have to say that I thought, with the exception of the movie, that all the ships in the WC series had their charms. I think it is unfair to say whether or not they were ugly, they served their purpose and looked in keeping with the fashion of the time and what the computer people could make...

    When will I see Saga

    How about I just chat away about something or other, the price of fish or perhaps why I have a sore leg, will that suffice?

    When will I see Saga

    Hmmm, Looked at the lines and I will give them a shot but they are a little off. Not trying to be a Prima Donna or sound like an arse but who really talks like that. Some of the lines are realistic but most aren't. I shall try, do you have any other lines though, some character specific...

    Kilrathi Saga

    youngblood old chap. It took me a good few years of hunting for the game mate. I have the copy but do not wish to give it up. Keep looking on Ebay mate, on the flip side check out the second hand traders on amazon. It comes up about once a year on ebay

    sounds like a good plan. any indication as to what to send, any lines knocking about? hope they are realistic!

    When will I see Saga

    I can wait, I have no problem doing that. I am happy to do so. It is just nice to know where things stand is all. Sometime in the next few months is perfect. Have lots of work on right now. As for voice acting, not too sure whether I did some or not. It was either for saga or standoff. I was...

    When will I see Saga

    Ihave the girlfriend, She lectures at the college I am at, not in my subjects but she lectures there. besides, how I spend my somewhat hermit like lifestyle is surely up to me and i enjoy it that way. Training, making models, playing WC now and then and getting together with mates to climb some...

    When will I see Saga

    When do we expect to see saga guys. I am looking forward to it. All this waiting is a little bit annoying. I have almost finished my degree, once I leave Uni and get a job what am I going to do to while away all the hours whilst there is no assignment work to be done
