    Wing Commander Krant

    Not bad, though I think the intakes on that Krant look a bit bulky, and I really don't see a Krant having dual cockpits...

    Blue people aboard the Tiger's Claw?

    Point. I wouldn't put Hitler down as a great leader - and I probably wouldn't put Patton down as mad. Eccentric? Oyah. Mad? Nah.

    Kilrathi Saga Observation - Windows 98SE vs. Windows XP

    That's because XP has so many memory leaks it's obscene, mostly. My computer has a lot of lag issues, and it SHOULD be able to run all of my stuff at full speed easily (it's a 2.8gig with a 32MB video card, that's more than enough for WCUE). Hell, my 900 (albeit with a better video card) handles...

    Nice little prank...

    Interesting. "Where can I download a joystick?" Oo...this goes beyond "cupholder" and the "any key", LOL...

    Has anyone used the Mace in WC4?

    True. The one game in which I found torps REALLY fun was Privateer, though. The fact that if you had the right targetting computer you could rack them off as dumb missiles that could kill any fighter in one hit...lol. *torp salvo* Steltek Drone THIS!

    Number of copies sold?

    WTF? X sold more than a dozen copies, lol? That game was probably the worst space sim I have ever SEEN. I played it once having bought it for ten bucks and tossed it, it was so damn bad...early on BUYING a saved game costs you so much that you have to play at least 3-4 hours STRAIGHT before you...

    President match?

    Well, here's a few things you should probably get straight about Bush: - He doesn't care about the environment and every year he stays in power is one more year our planet loses. - His space program initiative is probably just a campaign ploy - he's not going to Mars, it's a crock of shit. -...

    Gladius could join us, Sabre!

    Heh. What I miss most about that are the gauges that are actually "burned into" the background cockpit, but I know the limitations of the engine and that would be VERY difficult if not impossible to do. Good Gladius, nice Sabre, though I'm sorry to say that I never really liked the Gladius...

    Mission 6 - A Scrambled Day

    UE is SUPPOSED to be insanely hard. They did an excellent job of fitting the bill - I beat it on Veteran but can't get any higher. I'm trying to play through on Hero now but I can't get past Mission 3.

    How did you feel when

    My personal opinion on this? The brass above your head (Capt. Eisen) decided "Blair, you're getting WAY too many of my people killed. No more wingmen for you."

    Anyone good with dumbfires?

    Yup. The Gratha are a good example of where it's useful to slide. In UE those guys can strip you down to your skin in about 3 seconds flat. Personally what I do is just punch the burners straight at them, kick off a dumbfire at about 12000k, then pull up/left/right/down depending on where the...

    Missles in Privateer

    Right. Personally I found a radar that worked very well for me because it allowed me to use "dumb torpedoes". It had friend-or-foe recognition, but nothing more. No Locking, no ITTS, no missile targeting. The last is what I was looking for - because I can fill all of my launchers up with torps...

    Who were the enemys before the Kilrathi?

    Yeah, but the WC movie Pilgrims had some pretty weird mental abilities...though I guess that could account for the whole player-character-ness of Blair... Still - what about the Rapier? Also the fact that the Tiger's Claw looks like ...aww, what's the class of those CVLs that appeared in WC2...

    Who were the enemys before the Kilrathi?

    Personally I consider the movie to be separate because if Blair was a leftover Pilgrim from the Pilgrim Wars, why doesn't it come up in the games? Because it's a bloody big continuity gap, that's why! P.S. How do you get this "religion" scene with Vagabond in WC4?

    Don't worry about it, somebody sent me a photo.

    Did you use DOS?

    I've used QEMM, I was quite impressed. It gave my computer an AMAZING speed boost back in the day. It worked even better under Win 95 after that came around. I worked with DOS since about 93 or 94. I got Win 95 around 96. I did run pure DOS (not even win 3.1) for about six months, on a 286-8...

    Help Finding Helmet Graphics

    Hey guys, I have a really neat photo editing project I'm doing for my girlfriend for Valentines' day, but there's a catch. I need some helmet graphics, like the ones for commo screens only in colour. Does anyone know where I could fetch one of these up? I need one at a straight-on angle -...

    How did you feel when

    I still have to get my mitts on WC3 and WCP, but... 5) Great, some stuck-up puppet of Confed command... 6) So THAT'S why! 7) Looks like his luck really did run out...*sigh* 8) TOLWYN?!?! 9) I was wondering when the cavalry would get here...

    Anyone good with dumbfires?

    Right, which is why some of my pseudo-autoslide moves (flying a Scimitar, which has a distinct lack of autoslide) work so bloody well. Sure if I muck up my 180 the guy ends up piling into my windscreen, but whatcha gonna do? :P

    Pilgrim's Progress

    WC is good but there are some holes, but that's what happens when game mechanics change. Personally the one I found the most annoying was going back to WC4 after playing Prophecy/SO...DAMN it hurts when you crash into people! WC4 IS more realistic though...but maybe bug ships are just squishy...
