    WC:CD "Firekkan Fighter"

    I'm not sure how this tweak to that fighter would look, but it might be worth a try: I wonder if you could move the wings forward towards the cockpit, maybe have some 'feathered' wings or missile racks which get smaller as you go to the back of the fighter, and end it with a 'tail' of...

    Self Sustained Power?

    "I have not failed, I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work." Thomas Edison's response to the idea that he had failed after 10,000 experiments to develop a storage battery, as quoted in The World Book Encyclopedia (1993) Vol. E, p. 78 Good job on trying something deadman_ny. Even if...

    So Standoff guys: any way you can complete a task or two to turn another bar 'blue' on your progress chart? Just giving some friendly encouragement.. keep up the good work! ;)

    myspace layouts

    I could've given you one, but unfortunately my girlfriend finally convinced me to get rid of my myspace. What you can do is go on www.google.com and run a search for sites that allow you to create a myspace layout. I'd look for one that allows you to insert a website picture address into a...

    Starship troopers 3!!!

    Unfortunately, I can't watch videos from my work computer, but this is exciting news! Like most (everybody?), I enjoyed the first film more than the second. I'm glad to hear they're going back to the things that made the first one the best. PS. Did anyone else notice "Rico" on the flight...

    In a situation of pure fighter combat, I'd also take the Dumbfires or HS's over the FF. However, there are situations for a Sabre where the FF can be just as, or even more valuable. They don't have as much damage as the others, but when you need to take out capships fast, blindfiring one every...

    That would be very immersive if your ship received green rookie replacement pilots who were given low AI compared to the deceased combat experienced pilots. There's a mission where a dying carrier's crew and some of it's fighters are rescued and brought aboard.. that could be a time where the...

    Mark Dacascos Sighting of the Day

    Cool! I think he was best in "Brotherhood of the Wolf". He plays a tough guy that you don't want to mess with; quite the opposite of the character he plays in WCIV. Did you two discuss his role as Catscratch from WCIV?

    I'm not sure about the WC2 engine, but if it's similar to the WC1 engine, the Sabre would most likely be more superior than it is in Standoff. I remember in WC1's Super NES version, speed and agility mattered little and I even preferred the Raptor to the Rapier. I think the Standoff...

    The Dallas curse.

    Dallas is my girlfriend's Dad's name... hopefully that's a good omen.

    Mission 3B: New meaning to the word: "Nightmare"!

    It was hard to explain that.. 'Yeah, it's sad what happened to poor Shotglass.. post traumatic stress syndrome?' He seems to think your character is Casey and he's reverted to speaking German with a very distressed tone of voice!

    Mission 3B: New meaning to the word: "Nightmare"!

    Ok, I beat it.. it helped conserving my stormfire and missiles until the station. I think it mainly had to do with the defending Ferrets doing a much better job and staying alive to help me defend it the second time. PS. I enjoyed the hidden room with Shotglass speaking German

    WC4 Mod For Homeworld 2 In The Works (June 5, 2006)

    Thanks czacen for a great mod. A lot of us who have done projects for Wing Commander from games to fiction to models know what it's like to experience burn-out. What most of us don't know is what it's like to have so many people who have enjoyed our project. Of course a lot of us would like...

    Mission 3B: New meaning to the word: "Nightmare"!

    First off, great game guys! It's fun to fly with the Border Worlds and be back in ships like the 'gun heavy slug' Scimtar, Banshees, and Epees fighting those same bugs you challenged with more modern Panthers, Vampires, and the like. For those of you who worked so hard years ago to make...

    WC:CD (Arrow)

    Thanks Jason. Is anyone handling the story/script of your game (maybe that's you)? I'd be interested in helping out with the fiction aspects of the game. I'm not sure I'm up for leading the story team, but I'd be willing to co-author and help out the primary author. I would also enjoy...

    WC:CD (Arrow)

    That works, that's cool that you're changing things up a bit. Another name I just thought of is "Star Streak" squadron which is the name I had for my soap box derby race car back when I was around six or seven.. not that it's necessarily better than the others, but it just popped in my head and...

    May website update

    Thanks for the update. Hope you guys are inspired because you are working on perhaps the most pivotal climactic battle of the entire Wing Commander series!

    WC:CD (Arrow)

    I've always liked the idea of different colors for different battle groups, but I'm not sure if that's how the Wing Commander Universe is set up. I always imagined the reason for WC1 colors being green and WC3 being blue might be because of the different task forces. I also used that to...

    She's magnificent, good job. Can't wait to see her in action!

    Prologue Released!

    Well done gentlemen! I just completed the Prologue and really enjoyed it. That was the first time out of all the games that I went through flight training. Very cool. I liked being the rookie and not the hotshot pilot who single handedly saves the day for a change. I also liked that you...
