    Tractoring in Privateer 1

    Making the Kilrathi your space friends was easy....just upset the militia, Confed and Insys patrols and the cats will purr everytime you enter their sector. :D Even the pirates welcome you with open arms, happily watching your back and paving the way to riches and glory! If you want a real...

    Is hope out there?

    No one can say for sure except EA. Maybe we shouldnt quickly dismiss the possiblity EA will continue WC....but this question has been asked for a long time now, and so far.....the question continues to be answered in the same way.... ....we can only hope they do.

    Tractoring in Privateer 1

    It is also a neat way to prevent a cargo scan. :D

    I must be nuts.

    Privateer 2 "The Darkening" was indeed a great game...well still is. But I also agree with the majority, that it did not give the WC "feel" like Privateer/RF did. It takes alot more than descriptions in manuals and wording like "can travel anywhere in Confed space" to make the game present...

    Tractoring in Privateer 1

    Indeed! What took only a few seconds seemed like hours when guns were blasting away while awaiting to jump! But yes...an adrenalin rush big time!! :D Well, dont worry, a MS Sidewinder 3d Pro couldnt handle the strain either! (CRACK!) ARRGGGHHHH!!!! Time for ebay! :p

    Tractoring in Privateer 1

    Those missions were walks in the park. There was a neat trick to fool the asteriod field renderer, by moving the flight stick back and forth rapidly, you could afterburn right thru even a heavy asteroid field and not get a scratch. The greatest thing about Privateer and RF was the jump gates...

    A bad gunner in need of advice.

    Yell at them with a firm voice. :D

    Good Bye Origin

    Maybe one day EA will let another developer/investment group to take WC over from them. If not...well too bad. What a waste.

    WC Alternatives

    Are we only focusing on commercial games or can we list some of the neat freebies...particularly VegaStrike!!! Ok so that one isnt quite up to spec..however I have yet to see *ANY* sim in this genre that could match up to VegaStrike's freedom to do whatever you want, go wherever you want, and...

    Sign of the antichrist on movie tickets?

    Its not uncommon for news media to "spin" a story for ratings, especially when the story covers a controversial subject such as this Passion of Christ movie. Not saying these things didnt happen to the movie crew etc, but weird things have happend in other instances of making movies of this...

    Good Bye Origin

    Well I suppose a buisness model that develops into what it is today...or what it is not today....says alot about said business model! :p Actually they did good, just weak on certian parts of the whole thing. Little things can go along way when it comes to games. And its those little things...

    Release 1

    This mod or one of the others needs the whole lot of ships from the entire WC world in it. Everything, flyable and non flyable ships from the past games. Epee's and Hornet's are fine ships...but really...those were not the best or only ships in the WC world!

    Good Bye Origin

    Response to sigma and Loaf's posts on source code.. Games go obsolete with or without source code released, But who knows...even a revival further down the road might be in store. That seems to be the trend in alot of media lately, reviving old stuff making them new again, introducing them to...

    Passion of the Christ

    I dont think I have ever seen this much controversy over a MOVIE. Yes it is about a central figure in the Christian faith...but the bottom line is...it is a MOVIE! Now..since Mr. Gibson said he referenced to scriptures in making this MOVIE, and this MOVIE is causing such a ruccus....why...

    Good Bye Origin

    I seriously doubt their holding the source codes gives them any reason to believe that the source codes will be their saving grace down the road. Sounds more like plain stubborness or could be simple stupidity. Realistically, the source code from 1990 or even 1996 wont make much of an impact on...

    Good Bye Origin

    How sad....but this was commin long ago when them corporate wizbangs started chopping away at those games that set the so called industry standards that others try to match. Too bad....they cut their own throats. But it seems that is their way of doing things, given the history of that...

    Blair in WC: Prophecy?

    To be dead...or not to be dead...that is the question. I seem to recall the scene well. One of those tower things drifts away from the whole after the explosion, and behind a bomber that flies past the screen. Then the scene switches to the landing bay on Midway. I take it that Blair was...

    Flight sim ability

    A chopper sim is a bit more than slightly different, but very challenging. A good one to begin with is Commanche or Longbow Gold. The chopper in MS flight sim 2002 pro is very difficult even if you set the flight characteristics to "easy". Another neat thing about the MS flight sim is the...

    Flight sim ability

    2002 pro is perfect for honing stick skills, especially if using real world weather situations. Nothing like landing a learjet (or a Centurion Airlines craft ;) ) in a 40mph cross winds on a 6,000 foot runway in foggy or storm conditions, leaving you only with instruments to rely on during your...

    No Prophecy GBA in Canada?

    Then why dont you tell us all o master of nut-in what it means? Care to visit some sites that already have a "PIRATED" copy of this WCPGBA? Its not hard really...beings your smart and all. Finding the 'pieces to the puzzle' to make the puzzle work is not hard either. But I will let you...
