So you can start UE2!

Is this video-game specific? It seems to me similar process happen to pretty much every media? At multiple points in recent history, it was not cool to like movies, but to be obnoxious and disaffected about stuff. Maybe it’s a cultural cycle.

Hmm.. Dralthi vs TIE Fighter... NOT! EDIT: This is a joke, please.

I remember that, at the time, I found it odd that people didn't trust Hobbes to do space combat missions (where it could be an advantage to have a traitor no one can shoot at your side), but trusted him to be the second in command! Another somewhat strange thing is that Hobbes, who was “too...

Mostly energy, it seems. Well, there's that mass driver weapon mentioned in the thread.

Were the Kiralthi really told not to kill Hobbes? It sounds odd, as it could in theory be expected that an experienced pilot like Blair would figure that out eventually. It seemed to me that Thrakkath just assumed Hobbes was good enough of a pilot to surive on his own.

To make a credible Kilrathi on 3D would be complicated, they don't look or walk like other humanoids, and they are bigger, too.

And what if your faction's leader orders you to betray your faction?

Well, if they can talk using their minds, maybe they devolved only in the tech aspect.

That always bugged me on Privateer.

Who cares about the Excalibur anyway.

Maybe that freakish image is what prompted the Nephilim to let him go on WCP.

I disagree, Kilrathi wouldn't rank a spy as high as that, it appears. Even if he was a great pilot, his main accomplishment was a result of treason, what is dishonorable. Social awkwardness should be the least of his problems, since they would very likely execute him for treason - he was a...

Jazz is the big traitor, he was human. Hobbes, even doing it twice, ended up where he started. Quality over quantity. :)

Putin can't be a Cylon, because Cylon have feelings. Palin is the Governor of that sector where you can go just one time on Freelancer!

Devolved Kilrathi?

Well, that would make this dialogue and the way it concluded a lot more stranger: Ten minutes later… Barracks, TCS Concordia. Maverick: What did you want to talk about, Minx? Minx: You looked lonely, Christopher. I thought you could use a sympathetic ear. Maverick: “Jazz” Colson has been...

I have the distrinct impression Privateer 3 would've been truly great. Of course we'll never know.

A time when the 3DO was revolutionary.

I remember I must've played that last mission on WC2 more than any other mission on any WC game. I think it's awesome that Thrakkath immediately and with certainty identifies Blair as the crazy human pilot single-handedly attacking them.
