Very, very true. For example, take the ending of WC1SM2:Crusade "Lkhi Settlement, Northern Hemisphere, Firekka. The Firekka shout their triumph as the Kilrathi warships leave their planet. The Tiger’s Claw pilots have inflicted enough damage that the Kilrathi must abandon the Antares sector...

It had a couple of moments: when Kane first shows up as a éminence grise and everyone looks away, and when Stalin has this random guy sign death sentences (it seems something Stalin would do). The part where most (all?) Soviet officers got killed by their own rulers was realistic enought.

Yay to militia forces. About the national guard thing -- did the militia actually get involved in fighting the Kilrathi?

Well, survived until the merger. Anyway, it isn’t much about comparing their current status, but what happened to them in the last decade or so. Blizzard is one of the few companies from the early-mid 90’s still around in a recognizable form – Maxis is another. The article helps explain why that...

Good article. Blizzard succeeded (and, more importantly, survived, even under Activion/Vivendi/Whatever) where Origin and Westwood failed. I'm not sure the whole online gaming thing is entirely responsable for that. Anyone remember Bullfrog? It went under without a "World of Syndicate...

Back to the topic, it's a somewhat amusing that Blair gets to keep his score after some 10 years flying a desk, but loses everything when he boards the Victory some time later (from purely the perspective of the game).

Well, Wing Commander fans had two choices after 1998: "We die trying" and "There's always hope".

Well, I am curious about the history of Torpedoes.

Paraphasing Blair, "they already do".

Amazing sketch, thanks for that. I really like the design of cat ships established on WC3 - angular, asymmetrical.

Lego Wing Commander would be awesome. Ships, game, the whole package. The Lego games (both Star Wars and Indiana Jones) are very good and could easily be adapted to Wing Commander. A dream, yes, but a good one. Can you imagine the Lego Blair-in-black and Lego Bioconvergence chemist doing...

SO fiction is pretty good.

Using the stormfire on the Banshee is kind of tricky, because it isn't equipped with one. In fact, the secondary weapon of the Banshee is the scatter cannon, the shotgun of the stars. Judging by his performance on WCIV, he made a partially functional Behemoth on his backyard with lego parts.

Yeah that's pretty funny.

Well, who knows.

And what about references to the individual WC fans? :)

Happy 10th Birthday CIC! This fantastic community brings warm feelings to all hearts.

It seems to me that the "renegade faction" of Confed (as Blair put it, it may or may not mean the same as the "Black Lance") paid some random people as mercenaries and pirates, but those are just losers backed by the conspirators, but not part of the conspiracy. The pilot Blair captures (and...

Great job with Standoff. I hope someone makes a 'Kasey Chang' FAQ with all the intricate alternate details of the game. :p

Unless those are all lasers this is way over the militia’s budget.
