    Wing Commander 1 Remake Released! (August 11, 2007)

    Ok, I can access the campaign missions now. Are the bar conversations enabled in this release? The other issue I have is that when I go out on the first patrol with Spirit, for whatever reason, my targeting computer is stuck on Spirit after I activate the autopilot for the first time. Is...

    Wing Commander 1 Remake Released! (August 11, 2007)

    Ok, applied the patch, but the Kilrathi ships in the sim still make the game crash, the dialogue when you click on paladin, angel, or shotglass doesn't work, and I still can't access the campaign.

    Wing Commander 1 Remake Released! (August 11, 2007)

    Ok, so I downloaded it and tried it- but I can't load campaigns, none of the bar chatting works, it crashes on launch whenever I use a Kilrathi ship in the trainsim, and when I die in the trainsim, it crashes saying "can't find eject.png"- did I install it wrong, or what? Other then the bugs-...

    Shieldstrength

    Eh, I just didn't like how you could swarm over the bridge and engines of a ship and not worry about the rest of the ship getting torpedoed. I mean, if you're flying defense of the Midway, you don't even have to worry about defending the front or bottom of the ship at all. I think it would be...

    Shieldstrength

    Actually, I liked the way WC3 and 4 did capship damage the best- I just wished the way damage was doled out was done a bit differently- I think that it should have taken concentrated fighter or fighter/capship attacks to take down enemy capships without torpedoes. I liked being able to outright...

    Fighter Designations

    Somebody on wikipedia claims (and take it with a grain of salt) that the F-117 was purposely misnamed with an F instead of an A or B to attract top shelf fliers into the development program.... who knows if that's true though. This actually brings up a WC question I've had for a while, but I...

    Trying googling or wikipediaing the different designations- for instance, the F-23 or the YF-17

    BREAKING NEWS: Fatman Releases Wing Commander Music (August 2, 2007)

    I don't know how you can say this is crap if you gamed at all in the 90's- or even today (I die a little inside every time I play a game that has a soundtrack consisting of pop rock)- this was original, catchy, atmospheric music- even more so then George Oldziey's work (though that was good...

    Most memorable wc moment

    You know, I have to amend mine- I remember in WC3 getting insanely pissed at defending the Behemoth all the way to Kilrah to have it be destroyed in an unwinnable mission (I must have replayed that mission like 20 times trying to save it- it still didn't ever sink in that the Behemoth's...

    Capital Ship Designs

    Still haven't tried Arena because I lack an Xbox- but after reading star soldier- between the new emphasis on battlecruisers and with functional nephilim ship killing plasma gun technology, I am keeping my fingers crossed we might see a triumphant return of the Confederation class or it's...

    Most memorable wc moment

    Watching my favorite carrier slag a fraltha with the PTC..., and having no idea it was coming.... priceless. Seeing my favorite carrier, smashed into little bits in the ocean in WC3, despite it having torn numerous fraltha a (to quote duke nukem) "new one".... that'll stick. In 3DO...

    Best space shooter sims since 2000?

    There's that Starshatter game; but it never really gripped me enough to want to play it outside of the training missions.

    Best space shooter sims since 2000?

    Freelancer is ok- I mean, graphically it looks good, but the times when you would have to build up money and your opportunities to do so only ranged between "run trade route" or "clear nav point of pirates" were really obnoxious. I wish they would have spent more time on the design of the...

    Wow, I saw someone mention BOTF- I still have a group that throw multiplayer games of that every now and then- if anyone ever wants to join in the galaxy conquering carnage, throw a line!

    Thoughts on Privateer 2

    See if you can find one of the old MS Sidewinders with the throttle and rudder controls built in- it's probably the most practical joystick ever for WC games, and works great with the Mechwarrior line as well. As for P2- I have had a love/hate relationship with it. When I first bought it back...

    BREAKING NEWS: Arena Manual Sighted! (June 25, 2007)

    I think it's really great how EA is throwing nods to Fan Mods- it shows that the dedication and ingenuity of a few fans can have a real impact on the revival of a series.
