As exciting as the news of a new game is, it is somehow even more exciting that now this whole forum *feels* different. I don't mean that there was anything wrong with it for the past decade or so, just that it had the feel of an old great empire slowly fading away, with just a stubborn few...

Hey all, I'm going to be playing through the entire WC universe soon. I've never played though Standoff (don't ask why!!) or WC Saga, so I'm thinking of playing through using game chronology rather than release chronology. As I understand it, WC Saga runs alongside WC3. So what I thought would...

Hmm, I'm still getting redirected to http://backup-na.robertsspaceindustries.com/

and the site is down again. Gotta say that while I understand the issues and I sympathise, this is getting to the point where it will start to harm pledges/sales.

As details are slowly leaking out, I'd like all the goodies that come with the 250 option, but part of me rails against buying my way to one of the best ships and missing out on that feeling of earning it. Hmmmm, apparently LOAF has said that pledges are upgradeable, so I may just do one of the...

Well I was Arthur Dent on the Cserve forum SFmedOne back in the 90's, so I guess that would be my job.

Yeah there might be a pause for loading. You could fly to the jump point, your computer checks to see if you have the needed nav data (the code to get in) and then you have to confirm the jump (a list of the mods running) and okay that. Then you jump. There might be a bit of a loading pause, but...

I thought I'd start one of these over here, until the RSI forums recover :) Hopefully this is ok. Something that would be nice to see included, is seemless server transitions. What do I mean by that? Well it was stated that people should be able to mod the game and set up private servers. So...

When I say I want details, I'll understand that these things are subject to change, I'm not asking for exacting numbers, just things like, if I go for the Hornet, is there any cargo space at all? Roughly what are the strengths of each vessel being offered? What benefits do these different...

The thing that is massively concerning me now is that, I want to pledge but (at the risk of sounding like a broken record) I want to know details first. I want to be patient, but CR has said that there will be a limited amount of Alpha slots available and with the counter down, how can I even...

Wingnut Squadron?

Yeah, I want to know if it's like the X series, where I could have more than one ship or like Privateer/Elite where I can only have one. I also would like to know some of the stats of the ships, as this will make my mind up over what ship I get with my pledge. I mean if I get the Wingnut...

Well the game will be moddable and you'll be able to set up your own server. You can also have 'friends' in the main persistent game, so I guess there is nothing stopping the CIC from having their own carrier, crewed exclusively by us :)

It depends on how secure the IP is. It could easily be that the rights EA holds are just to the name and names. Therefore he's quite within his legal rights to do exactly as he is doing.

It could also be a fall back plan. If crowd sourcing is unsuccessful, with enough of the game done, he might be able to go back to EA. Hopefully that doesn't happen and all that. Maybe buying back the IP is the secret 6th level of investment.

Space combat sims are dead at the moment. Have you considered that helping to get this game made, would go a long way to you getting what you want? I love both Wing Commander and Freespace (heinous a word as that is around here) and I am doubly excited today because I have this to look forward...

I'm hoping our man inside - LOAF, might be along at some point to help answer some questions. I have cash waiting to be spent, but want more details on the packages and the RSI forums are down.

If you go back to the announcement site, you can play the whole thing again. What I'd like is for the pledge options to have much more detail. What are the differences in these colours of citizen cards? How much of a difference is there between the different ships? How much is 1000cr worth? If...

I'm hoping the game is left deliberately easy to mod, so changing the various names he doesn't have the IP for, will be easy. Because let's face it, that is The Tiger's Claw

Looks like a cat soooooo much!!! I wonder if without the IP rights, CR will have to call things by other names, but leave it open for modders to change things :)
