You all might be interested in this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_2000s_fighter_aircraft It features a study done by Britain to determine the success rates of western aircraft against the Su-35 using simulators programmed with the characteristics of the various aircraft...

I dunno, I didn't mind "uber-fighters" like the Excal or the Dragon- I actually liked them a lot, and considering both fighters were supposed to be state-of-the-art at the times they were introduced, it makes sense that they shred other fighters (imagine the kill ratio of the first jet engine...

The graphics in the 3DO version definetly are nowhere near as clean as the PC, and LOAF is right- the 3DO joystick does make it easier to control. Ultimately, I personally liked the PC version of WC3 better (for the most part, there were a couple 3DO missions that I liked better then their PC...

I had the SNES Wing Commander and WC Secret Missions several years ago- if you are going to pick one, go with the PC version- the biggest problem I remember with the SNES versions of the game is that you could only get close to one other ship at a time (I think it was a limitation imposed by the...

I think a post-WCP game would be fun, and it wouldn't necessarily have to involve the nephilim- it could be the player against any adversary (confed, border worlds, kilrathi, etc.)- (I actually think a post-WCP game where you play as a member of a rebel Kilrathi faction fighting the Borderworlds...

maybe try turning the sound accleration down like you have to do for playing standoff cutscenes in XP? I don't know if it will help, but it's worth a shot.

i love your design- i wish all WC capships were geared toward that sort of hitting power, instead of the usual handful of wussy laser turrets placed sporadically along the hull (which is stupid when you consider a Broadsword's energy weapon loadout (3 mass drivers and 3 double neutron turrets)...

Did you try setting the executable files for WC Saga in Windows 95 compatibility mode? I had a crash problem for a while to running Saga WC1 expansion packs in WinXP, but the compatibility switch fixed it.

I have to agree with Lazy- the Confederation Class was great- unlike most WC capships, the Concordia could waste other Capships within viewing distance (the Phase Transit Cannon and the simultaneous 8 or 9 amg rounds the thing shot were ridiculous!) and take on half a wing of bombers by itself-...

lol, biggest gripe, eh? I love the WC series, but my biggest gripe is the implementation and use of capships in all WC games. Even the largest and most "fearsome" capships could be defeated without too much trouble by a light fighter (indeed, some WC missions come to mind where you couldn't...

Oh- on a second note- the "most worthless ship" note- I'd have to go with the Hornet-anything bigger then a Dralthi takes a good 5 minutes to kill, seeing as it's armed with only a lousy pair of lasers- which makes it nearly worthless for anything but recon missions!!!

IMO, Confed's ugliest ships- Fighterwise- The Thud (looks like a Sabre after a visit to a chop shop, with any and all aesthetically pleasing pieces removed) (On a side note, and I'm sure there will be some disagreement on this, I always thought the Dragon looked like a space-going minivan...

I recently dusted off my old copy of Kilrathi Saga, and tried running it for the first time on a 4.2 Ghz Toshiba laptop (WinXP) with an ATI m6 mobility graphics card running catalyst drivers. WC2, the WC2 expansion missions, and WC3 all work fine- but for WC1, only the main campaign works, and...

Well, from a tactical standpoint, wouldn't a large ship like a WC3 Kilrathi dreadnought be ideal for mowing down static installations like orbital shipyards, starbases, etc? The ship could bring overwhelming firepower to bear on any thing not fast enough to run away from it. I mean sure, the...

I notice on the WC Saga website that you plan on including the Confederation class dreadnought in your mod. (BTW, the mod looks really great, it looks like you guys are doing a fantastic job!) Any chance of seeing some screen shots of that any time soon? (and do you plan on keeping the thing...
