    Wing Commander Superstitions

    I was playing on WC1 the other day and I remembered my superstition. In the sequence after the briefing where the two blokes are running to the ships I always have and still believe that if the guy at the front is wearing a cap the mission will be easy and I will kick butt. However if he is...

    Blimey!

    that sounds like the basis for the Film Junior with our mate Arnie. A good old fashioned chuckle fest if I remember correctly. They told some story about a chick doing that and then arnie decided to get pregnant. It obviously did not occur to anyone that the increase in female hormones would...

    Pulling Rank

    I agree with that loaf old mate. Hhriss were not very nice to play with. I never managed to kill all the ships in that one where you fly the dralthi to the 2 snakeir. I tried so hard but the Hhriss on the way always had my ass toasted before I could do a lot. Saying that though I will have...

    Pulling Rank

    I finally did that mission. I went to nav 1 then 3 then 1 again and then got the dralthi and you know what, I didn't even get any kudos for it or even get into trouble. I love that mission in SM2 with the fralthi and the jalthi. I remember doing it with dead wingman and one laser missing. It...

    Pulling Rank

    Just a quick question for you guys. Is it possible, by playing through all the secret missions and all, to become a full colonel in WC1. I hope it is cos I am working really hard. Also, I was playing around in the mission where you have to bring back the dralthi and you are in the scimitar...

    Tolwyn saying Black Lance may pray in Price of Freedom

    Perhaps my last statement was the most stupid thing anyone had heard for a while but lets face it, that is what the rest of the world thinks. Look at the amount of support that Bush had from the hardline christian states who believe in carrying guns, no abortion and banning single sex marriages...

    Tolwyn saying Black Lance may pray in Price of Freedom

    Don't want to be incendiary but it appears that almost everything to come out of America has to crowbar some religious stuff in there somewhere. Almost every American film and book I had seen lately has some reference to needing to pray, including documentaries e.t.c. I get the feeling this book...

    Another uniform questions

    How americanised. Here in the UK our boyos only get a ribbon when they get a medal and they get very few of those, believe me. Seems to me that the yanks give them out like sweeties. If I had done my service in America rather than here I would have a few myself. Kinda devalues it I think.

    WTF is that?

    I too purchased the mile high club set as it promised the secret missions for 1 along with academy. I got it home and lo, no secret missions at all. Then, as if by chance I was trawling a car boot sale in wales (strange place I realise) and came accross a guy with 1 and 2 in original packaging...

    WC1 is an Awesome Game

    Ah yes, the good old days. I had a 486, 66. 66 on turbo that was it went down to 30 otherwise which was very entertaining. It made WC ruch really fast but it was totally managable after a while. Now with Kilrathi Saga on my laptop is runs too slowly. The only gripe I would have is that WC2...

    Epee or Ferret

    Epee was poor, French for "thick" seems to fit pretty well. ha ha. I always hated the mission in SO where you fly with against the confed ships. Their ships were always better. I dont quite get it, upsets me some. Thing I always noticed was that when I was shooting up close and personnal the...

    End Run, The Movie?

    yes, yes, yes, I am feeling that totally and unequivably. For the brits amongst us who see the XXXX adverts on the TV. I think any of those guys could be Hunter. Vin diesel would be a total joke, I agree. He does not have the intesity.

    End Run, The Movie?

    The likeness is uncanny Loaf. I don't see vin deisel in a wc role, not as doomsday. He does not have the age. Ving Rhames, he is the man. I think we have this nailed. Ok, 100 points to anyone who can get any of these people to comment on their new role in the film

    End Run, The Movie?

    I have often thought that End Run would have made a much better movie than the WC one that was made. The question is who would make the film come alive. I have thought about it and I reckon that these would do it for me. Captain O'brien - Gene Hackman Bondarevsky - Cuba Gooding Jr Svetlana...

    The world will end on Sept. 21!

    Hey there. I remember getting into the dark tower books. I got wizard and glass from a car boot and thought it was amazing. Even my missus liked it and she is a dyed in the wool mystery fan. I have been looking forward to the last 3 books too. Was a little annoyed though when I heard...

    Passing Wing Commander on to the next generation...

    It must be great to pass on the torch. I am old enough to remember playing WC at age ten and having great fun but too young to be having anyone to pass it onto. I will though at some point. Saying that my older brother has just coppied my Privateer CD and is busy having fun playing that. He was...

    What improvements made to WC3 in KS?

    Now there is a good plan loaf old chap. If anyone can advise me as to how to get Armada working on XP then we could all have a great big Armada cuddle and everything would be fun. If anyone fancies working with me on that let me know. I am up for it. Long Live 1994

    WWII Capital Ships

    might I be so bold as to suggest the Stalin?? She was the russian ship that was designed to kick the poop out of everyone. She was bigger and better than the big old battle ships in Under Seige, forget the class but the yanks loved them. Anyway she was never used in anger due to the rise in...
