    Space Sim First Look: Project Sylpheed (September 25, 2006)

    >"Especially think of the Wing Commander, with missions that can have changing objectives while you're accomplishing them, shields to take care of, different weapons and in-game movies on your communication screen." Sounds exactly like Wing Commander.

    BREAKING NEWS: EA Replay Box Art Revealed (September 14, 2006)

    I've played all the games in that frame, I enjoyed Wing Commander the most (duh) and Road Rash the second most. Desert Strike is kind of a 3rd person perspective shooter where you fly around a helicopter. Syndicate is a 3rd person perspective MOB type game in a futuristic setting where you go...

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

    Keep up the good work. Maybe we can make an "Confed Alpha Bug" post when this release comes out?

    What's This Shirt? (September 7, 2006)

    Who cares? poorly made shirt with an ugly design. I would rather have one like a golf shirt, with just a small black lance logo on the breast. So those that would know, would know, and those that wouldnt, would pay no mind.

    The Grass Is Always Greenscreener... (September 5, 2006)

    >I didn't even own my first joystick until after WC3 PSX came out. I smell a poll: "your first joystick" Mine was a gravis two button (but had 3 buttons, although 1 was mirrored) The black guy with the red buttons. Still have it, still works. Been working since the days of Wing Commander...

    The Grass Is Always Greenscreener... (September 5, 2006)

    I couldn't imagine playing a Wing Commander game without a joystick. It's like riding a bike without handlebars.

    Intel Update

    The missiles look a lot like F16 Tomahawk and F14 sidewinder missles IMO.

    BREAKING NEWS: EA Replay Officially Announced! (August 31, 2006)

    >How many games from 1990 still look this good? Only ones I can even think of are Silent Service 2, Star Control and Lemmings. And compared to WC those games look like ass.

    Birthday Poll - Count Your Rings (August 11, 2006)

    I think I've been coming here since 2001.. atleast. I was on the original ICQ list that was going on, I even remember it being started. So I'm not sure exactly what time frame. But I'm surprised to see (currently) that most of the members are quite new.

    Kilrathi Saga sucks..(?)

    I feel like hording them just to save them from the public insult of a $0.19 price tag.

    WC4 Border Worlder's fly Arrows and Thunderbolts?

    It would have been cool to come to the Intrepid and get to fly one of the Rapiers, Arrows, Thunderbolt(for the 2(3?) missions it lasted), or even a sabre. But I think due to space constraints (6cds) they really couldnt afford to add all the ships they wanted to.

    It`s finally here...

    It would have been cool to have been unlockable for the flight simulator or something like that. I always thought the Lance was by far the most fun ship to fly. I have no doubt the Vampire and more than likely the Panther would tear apart a Lance in 1v1 combat, but I just thought the red HUD...

    The Hardest Missions!

    The mission in Privateer where you first discover the Gamma system and you are attacked by 3 Dralthi, then 3 Gothri then 3 more Dralthi, in an asteroid belt. Hard, but rewarding. The asteroids usually do most of the work for you. Cat + asteroid = kitty litter.

    Power distribution question.

    yeah I noticed that too in Privateer, try getting the Centaurion to 1001 :D

    It`s finally here...

    If Tolwyn never did the gen-select program and didn't fry those civilian transports, he probably could have come clean with his Black Lance forces without too much trouble. It is too bad the WC decision makers decided to not include the Dragon (or its technology) in Wing Commander Prophecy. I...

    Wing Commander novels

    Freedom Flight was awesome in my opinion, I enjoyed the look through Hunters eyes and the part with the Dralthi. Drinking on Firekka? Come on :) It's probably the most "Wing Commander" of all the books, with End Run/Fleet Action(I consider them to be a two part book) coming in close second.

    Favorite "break and attack" response from NPCs?

    Maestro I found was about 20% louder than anyone else and really bugged the crap out of me when he did his mission accomplished speech EVERY TIME we arrived at the Midway Nav after a mission. He was a very bad choice for the "best friend" role in WCP, should have just cut him out all together...

    Your favourite WC1 NPC

    I'm going to say my favorite was probably Bossman, he was much like what I'd expect from a pilot. Did his job, did it well and didn't have anything too bad to say about anything. My least favorite was flying with Knight.
