    Secret Ops - Lost serial number & starter pack registration

    I always found it interesting that EA required such a registration process for a free game.

    XBox 360 disc drive failure

    I've heard this before. It has to be placebo. The melting point of solder is so high than if you actually got the internals of the 360 that hot, it would be rather destructive.

    Player's turret autofire

    He doesn't mind that they don't autofire, but outfitting them with an AI gets *expensive*... and he's on a budget!

    Player's turret autofire

    Yeah, in the Prophecy engine, turrets definitely autofire. They would have had to make a deliberate effort to turn it off, which wouldn't have made sense because in WC2 the turrets also autofire. I don't think there's any visual notification, though.

    Crew Sizes and the Exeter

    Jesus Christ. Forgive me for misspelling a word so late at night. I thought we were here to discuss crew complements, not be spelling instructors.

    Crew Sizes and the Exeter

    The crew compliment of the Exeter on WCPedia seems to be an error. The table code was probably copied from the Venture-class corvette page, which does have a crew compliment of 9.

    So was there anything to the rumors, or...?

    I think the rationale was that you're meant to feel as if you're playing a truly big part in the war. If the game could play itself, it wouldn't be as fun. So on so forth.

    Just how much does it cost?!?

    That said, the Centurion is the Super Ship of Privateer. It's supposed to take a lot of time and effort to be able to afford. To be honest, I bought the Orion and beefed it up, then ran through the plot in it. Then I bought a Centurion afterward with the money I made during the plot.

    Just how much does it cost?!?

    Usually the amount of credits is indicative of the mission's difficulty. If you're taking missions in the 5k-6k range and you're finding them too easy, move up to missions in the 8k-10k range. It's designed to have a slow build-up, but once you get some good equipment and increase your...

    Just how much does it cost?!?

    Eh, I'd still recommend collecting the full amount and then some. The game doesn't let you move components from your old ship to your new ship, outside of your jump drive and radar. So, any upgrades you bought will be sold at the reduced resell price, and then have to be purchased again at...

    So was there anything to the rumors, or...?

    It's your lucky day! You can buy Privateer and play it legally right now! http://www.gog.com/en/gamecard/wing_commander_privateer It's fairly common on ebay, too. If you don't want to spend any money, you can try Gemini Gold, but it's not quite the same as playing the actual, original game.

    So was there anything to the rumors, or...?

    Hey. Have you played Privateer and Privateer 2 yet? They're both really fun games where you're in control and can fly the plot, just fly some missions or just go blow things up.

    BREAKING NEWS: FOX to Re-Release Wing Commander DVD (September 17, 2011)

    LOAF was posting about it on Twitter a couple of days ago. https://x.com/#!/banditloaf/status/131482338206027777/photo/1 He says apparently it's identical to the original DVD release, outside of the different art.
