If the only issue with the patch is potential framerate drop, no problemo there, lol. A64 with the gear I've got on it? Prophecy engine? DUDE! Framerates shouldn't be an issue...lol.

Agreed, Tracker MIRVs are only good against Corvettes or Stingray Clusters. If you can catch anything else with it, nice shooting. Though against Stingray Clusters it's a fast triple kill. :D As for the Banshee - what do you guys mean, there are problems with the lasers? I've never really...

Well, on my P4, UE's cutscenes never worked properly - it skipped through them at super-speed. My A64 box now is running an oldish SoundBlaster Live card for sound and a Radeon 9600 for video. Should I try the patch (also is it the Movie Player that I want from HCL's site?) or should I disable...

Weird...I run XP Pro and have never needed to fiddle with compatability settings to get Secret Ops to work properly, nor UE...is this only with Standoff?

Wow. That's one heck of an El Cheapo...nice stick for what amounts to less than 20 bucks. It certainly doesn't SOUND like it would be very durable, but if (Sivar forbid) my Afterburner 2 were to go, maybe I should look into Logic3.

Oh, the FCS Mark 1 belongs to my brother, sadly, but I have used that stick for several years and I second the fact that it is INDESTRUCTIBLE.

Agreed, Wizkids botched Crimson Skies...but I think a WC miniatures game would be pretty cool. I would suggest using the Full Thrust rules as a baseline if anyone's got them (I don't) - the books USED to be available electronically for free, so if anyone's still got the PDFs, mind sending them...

My personal stick choice is, and has always been, Thrustmaster. The Afterburner 2 is a great stick for a very reasonable price - and the optional driver software makes it pretty programmable. As for the Cougar...d00d you're rich. I assume it kicks as much arse as it looks like it should, though...

New WC Game Well...this is an old dream. Honestly if EA does another WC game now, it's going to suck. The old developers are gone and a lot of the new guys in the industry are total no-talents. I've seen their work - it's not pretty! Even the "amazing" games these days don't match up to the...

Cool Beans! Heh. My collection's still relatively small. I bought most of my Wing Commander games when they made it to the CD-ROM Classics series, meaning I've got a lot of incomplete copies. What I've got: WC2 Deluxe (CD-Rom Classics version, all I really have is the game) Privateer...

Ferrets Yes, but there's one thing nobody realizes. All it would've taken was a refit of the Super Ferret to have a ship that could outfly (even in atmosphere, remember Ferrets WERE atmosphere capable, though they would fly like bullets and burn much fuel), outshoot (assuming a decent refit)...

That would be pretty cool. As for sticks...I played through WC1 and 2, as well as some of Privateer, without a joystick. I then got X-Wing, the original one...played that with a Gravis Gamepad. Bought Descent. Keyboard. Descent 2. Keyboard. FINALLY ended up getting a Gravis stick to compete with...

Very nice Tarsus, though the poly count's a little high...

Nice model, I guess I don't have to have him do that then. :p Anyway, I would still like to see the Paradigm appear in Standoff, just because the timeline goes so well with it...

LOL. Well, personally I don't care for postcount anyway, but my rank does say something about the fact that I'm still missing about half of WC...

Well, for my all-time favourite fighter I'm going to have to go with the Ferret. It's just awesome. Now for my love/hate list for every game! WC1: Love: Raptor Hate: None, they were all good ships. WC2: Love: Ferret!! Hate: SABRE! WTF? You call THAT popcan a heavy fighter?? WC3: Haven't...

Cff is right about the cards - they do develop games for what's going to be mainstream hardware a year or two down the line, which means the immediate latest and greatest. Motion-capture technology is already very good - within five years we should seem some extremely realistic graphics coming...

Good moves guys, I was about to ping him for the fact that the Invincible already existed - Bengal-class, and appearing in UE 2 after being donated to the Border Worlds. :) As for ship models, I might be able to run stuff past my brother, but I'm first going to try to get him to make a really...

Well, I'm not sure about the CVEs, but that's because I'm not as far up on my WC material as you guys are. I'm missing a lot of pieces. :( As for the Paradigm, I do have commentary to make. I think they did mean the most advanced ship in the Gemini sector, because the Concordia had, IIRC...

Ralatha-class destroyer is what he means. Anyway, I didn't find that very difficult at all, dunno why, but the AM bolts never touched me, and the broadsword can at least tank a couple - if they did hit me I didn't notice before I torped the bugger, and it's not Sartha at that nav point - it's...
