I could see the Kilrathi leaderships not wanting their subjects to think that the war was to the point where Confed was reaching the home sector. I recall in End Run, the Kilrathi tried very hard to keep the fact that a Confed carrier was in the Kilrah system a secret. Granted that is a...

Like I said, I haven't been trying all that hard :) I have all the Baen novels, bought them all when they first came out. In fact last year I found a couple at a used bookstore and donated them to the CIC to give out as prizes for the anniversary party. I shipped a couple to Quarto as well...

It's not clear in the PC version of the WC3 game, because they didn't include his farewell message to Blair, though it did make it on the Playstation version. The file is over in the files section, called The Hobbes Explanation. https://www.wcnews.com/files.shtml#wc3 Before I go on, to save...

The trick is finding some of them. Used bookstores are a good bet for the Baen books. The Prima guide for Prophecy I've had a bit of trouble tracking down. But, in all honesty haven't tried too hard. I looked in the where to buy section, but if any of them still had it listed as a product...

No rear turret though. there may be one on the side, not sure. I think the two ships two differnt kinds of ship. The one behind the "pillar" I don't think is any kind of bomber. I don't recall any WC Bomber with a canopy that opened. You always entered from underneath.

What, two Wing Commander sources disagreeing about an event? Couldn't possibly happen :D the SO fiction mentions Nephele as well, iirc. Everyone was trying to claim him as theirs.

I was spoiled by WC1 where if I did well so did Confed. :) SO1 & SO2 were frustrating because they were closer to real life. I'd win, but instead of Confed winning in Deneb they lost. I still think Thrakath downplayed those defeats I handed him (which is natural) but he did earn many of his...

Yeah the game didn't make it clear that Maniac lost his job as the Wing Commander on the Victory. I figure in war time folks don't always think these things through. My wife and I dated for about 6 years (we met in college and were both in our early 20's) before we got engaged and that lasted...

Maybe you are thinking of Stingray. He kind fills the Maniac role. At least the "shooting your mouth off" portion. :) I'd like to know more about Maniac's wives. I think deep down he is a good guy, but getting through that exterior to the point you'd want to marry him...

Didn't Guon do work with the Children's Television Workshop, or Sesame Street? I also thought I read somewhere that Blair was the name they used in meetings during the development of the earlier games. Maybe that was just an Origin legend.

I didn't even see that one. Between the two of us we might be able to view the whole picture :) Well, it doesn't look like a scim or Raptor. Considering the show is set just before wc1, I'd say rapier as well, though it looks a bit like a hellcat.

I need to build an old DOS machine. I've got the parts, just not the time. I also have to shake down an old friend who has (at least he better still have them) my old WC2 disks. I grew up on TSR-80's Commodore 64's and the like. It's amazing how far games 9on the graphics side at least) have...

I wonder though if he would have survived if he hadn't have been assisnated. The loss of the clone facilities would have been difficult to recover from. He was a very cool character though. In more ways than one. No one really like that in WC. Thrak was sort of that way in the WC2/SO1/SO2...

The used a lot of Scimtars in the show, but the back end doesn't look like a scim, looks like the Rapier II from WC2. I thought I saw guns on the front, but after blowing it up (the picture not the ship) and looking closer now I'm not so sure. I watched them all one day a year or so ago. I...

Never even tried it with KS, [old fogey voice]I used it on DOS. Why in my day we didna...zzzz...snort...zzzz[/old fogey voice] I'll take your word for it, cause I don't remember :)

I mean pathetic in the fact that he still hasn't quite grown up and gotten it yet. I thought he had at the end of WCIV (at least in the novel) He was a jerk in WCP, though he got better later on, and the SO fiction holds out so hope for him. I just want to strangle him at times, though. As...

I thnk it was originally mentioned in Foundation's Edge. Along with a gas giant with unusally large rings. Need to reread those. Great books. Liked how in the end he tried to tie some things together. Was a bit of a stretch from time to time, but neat. I didn't like newer, non-Asimov one's...

Wish I had a game with the Priv2 grahpics set in the time right after Priv1/RF. pendell, I know of what you speak. Sometimes it did seem like forever before you could get to your destination in Priv2. I did like aspects of the story and thought much of it was very well acted. I'm just...

I think you can use it to select missions as well, if you know what the mission is. I think the system was something like A1 being the initial mission you fly, and something like Z4 was the last mission in venice. You just taked it on like another siwtch. I recall Origin -k was rumored to do...

I believe Universal Cartoon Studios, part of MCA. Those are very nice LOAF. #4 makes me think a bit of the rebel base on Hoth.
