This mission was AMAZING!! You Standoff guys are amazing! Wow! Definitely hands down THE BEST Wing Commander mission I've ever played (and I've played WC1 WC1[Secret Missons I think it was called] WC3 WC4 and I'm currently playing Prophecy and Secret Ops) The messages from Tolwyn were...

WC3. Jupiter right outside the window and all the battle charts make it my fav. The WC4 office was too grey and the WC2 too small.

It actually hasn't changed the way I fly since I found the difference to be minimal in practice. Also, I didn't do a thorough check with a stopwatch, just going off my impression from trying it (and I'm sure the fact that I kept bumping into my wingman when I turned sideways was bound to throw...

That makes sense when you look at the stats. I always assumed the fighters would be more 'modern' than in WC2 since the game came later, but when you compare, there are several ships from WC2 that appear better than their WC3 counterparts. The Sabre vs. Thunderbolt, Rapier vs. Hellcat, even...

I also would rather have the Arrow than the Rapier. I also can't think of a mission where I'd rather have a Hellcat than an Arrow. Even going up against heavy ships, I'd rather have the Arrow's extra 2 missiles and the ability to escape with it's superior speed and autoslide. I would assume...

It was a real eye opener for me to fly Rapier II's in Standoff. I love that ship! I hate the Hellcat. That extra 100kps really makes a difference. It's faster than even many of the Kilrathi light fighters, and only 50kps slower than a Darket. That speed can make all the difference when...

That's cool. Perhaps it could be mentioned in a 'communications' email? For example: for the people complaining about Gladii, they could mention that the Thunderbolt is an excellent fighter, but we'll take the extra torp any day since it means we can kill more cats. Or mention that if there's...

Any updates on what Ep. 5 might include? I feel like this game has done an excellent job of tying in the games and books. I would like to see more of a Wing Commander 3 tie in during Ep. 5, especially since it's not long before the time of WC3. Are we going to see any of the ships from WC3...

Thanks for responding Chris. I actually will probably have my hands full since I just got Prophecy and Secret Ops and want to play through them after Standoff (which I'm playing now). I don't anticipate I would be through these by the time the WC2 part comes out.

Another thing I've noticed is that sometimes the letters on my screen get big, then after I do the forced quit, sometimes they are small. By this I mean any letters including when I go on the net and here at wcnews.com. I think my desktop icons change in size too.

Is there any ships with slide capability?

Ok, that makes a difference then in how I fly it. After passing an enemy head on, I usually turn to the side, but I will loop over (or under) in a Gladius. Kind of like a WC1 Dralthi.

Thanks, can I destroy these with just guns or do I need missiles? Also, shooting at general non-subsystem areas does nothing? Any place that's best to attack these? From behind, in front, on top, the sides? Obviously for engines it would have to be behind, above, below, or to the sides...

I was wondering what the game engine requires for destroying capships. I just recently found out that the capship killer missile seems to only target subsystems such as engines and bridge. Does a capship explode simply when you destroy a certain number of subsystems? (2 perhaps? Does blowing...

I was going over the technical data on the Gladius and it reads as Y/P/R 80/70/80. When I tested it out in the sim, it seems to pitch up faster than it yaws. I checked it by finding the jump bouy in the simulator, pitching up, then comparing it to yawing. Yaw is side to side, right? And...

OK. I have (listed twice for some reason.. because of dual core?): Display adapters Mobile Intel (R) 945GM Express Chipset Family Mobile Intel (R) 945GM Express Chipset Family

I went there, nothing says exactly "video card".. there's several things that say Intel and some things that say Texas Instruments, I'm not sure if one of those is what you're looking for?

Not sure if this is the specs you're looking for (I'm not a computer guy).. but here's what was on my system properties for my Gateway laptop: System: Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition Version 2002 Service Pack 2 Manufactured and supported by: Gateway...

As far as Bossman changing his callsign; actually I think he did once change his callsign. IIRC it was once 'Ripper' or something like that in his younger days.

I just downloaded Standoff and this game is REALLY fun! I can't believe all the talent (I could say genius) that must have went into it. I'm still in the Prologue section on the TCS Lionheart. When I click "Exit" or quit the game from the simulator, my screen freezes up and Standoff stops...
