Another very nice history. Great job, Dundradal! One might note that CVB-41 is the second Midway named after the battle. CVE-63 lost her name to the big hull on 10 October, 1944 and was sunk as the USS St. Lo two weeks later.

I received a few of the cap ships yesterday. I gotta say, I'm impressed. I'm really excited for the possibilities here. Thank you to the modelers that make these available- I know I'll be making several purchases!

I thought it was just me... I can't see the end of the game. I've completed the last mission 4 times now and dumped each time as soon as I dump out of autopilot on my return to the carrier. Each time it was the only mission I'd played. XP SP3 x32, T9400 @ 2.53 GHz, 4 GB RAM, nVidia Quadro FX...

Sorry- I should have been clearer. There are turrets on the ships I mentioned that can't be destroyed by gunfire. I'll go invulnerable and get screenies for you. In the greater scheme of things, I figured it's not a big deal at all. I am curious as to why the friendly bombers have such a...

Wow. I tempted the crash gods too long. My wife was in the kitchen reading, I'm finishing the last mission. Returned to the carrier, and got "Mission Acc" ->crash. Unbelievable. My first crash came with seconds to go. A few of the CapShips have invulnerable turrets: Hakaga, Snakier, and...

I'd be interested in the CCG set. PM'd!

LOAF, I take some offense to calling it imdb-grade nonsense. Regardless, needing to hear the ping is as foolish as shushing somebody. How is a sound wave supposed to travel through space, bounce off the Tiger Claw, and generate a return? Even in a debate about a fictional universe, that's...

Was the silent running immediately when they entered the area, or was it when they hid on the asteroid? I haven't watched the movie in ages. If it was when they entered the system, I have some difficulty with it within the context of the WC universe (a running theme for me with the movie)...

If only we had instructions!

One could make the argument that something similar has happened with submarines over time. At first, simple submergence was sufficient. When escorts could fight back, subs went deeper. As active sonar got better, subs went yet deeper. As passive sonar got better, subs got quieter. As...

I planned on opening the model in Lego's Digital Designer software- you can then send the order to Lego and get just what you need!

Am I missing a download link for the model? I fully intend to purchase the bricks for this!

Since WC models many aspects of WWII combat in space, it would seem logical there would be a submarine equivalent. It would likely fit best into the earlier years of the war before the Strakha (which fits better as an F-117 equivalent, just ahead of its corresponding technological time in the...

In sci-fi, it seems that many of the more popular franchises have darkened significantly over time. Deep Space Nine took the Star Trek universe to an all-out war. Star Wars I-III painted pictures of betrayal and overwhelming evil. Even smaller and less known universes such as Forstchen's Star...

Tilt to steer, touch to fire. I wouldn't mind controls like that for a new console WC... Or, iPhone WC for that matter!

Absolutely fantastic exposure for Wing Commander- great stuff! When thinking about the headline ships within sci-fi, there are a ton to be considered- awesome that WC made the list. That said... Of the ships in the WC universe, is the movie TC even the most iconic within its universe? One...

The missed connection, I think, was my questioning if Arena's popularity would have input onto a go/no go for a future Wing Commander. A 360 at $350 is not "well-equipped." It is not capable of outputting an HD DVD format of any kind without further purchase. It may have a WiFi upgrade at...

I truly hope EA doesn't use Arena as a major part of their decision making with regards to a new WC. While WC PC games have often required new or upgraded computers, I can at least justify that cost with regards to utility in a way I couldn't with a 360. Had the 360 included an HD-DVD player...

My god, this fixed my bug with Glide. The game looks absolutely stunning...

I wore out my copy of End Run- It's in 3 pieces that I read separately at this point...
