I know this is an old thread, but I'd just like to throw in my two cents that I would love to hear a Kat say "Bugs bunny screws his mother!" in Standoff. It would make my day so much. When I first read that in End Run at age 11 or 12 I thought it was so hilarious... and I felt so bad for the...

I see. I think it's great how you guys set stuff like that up... i.e. the possibility to do better, the same, or worse than the canonical pilots. And it was a mighty challenging mission, for some reason the other pilots just did a great job when I flew the Crossbow. The first few times I tried...

That actually would be pretty cool heh. Like if the player's wing takes SUCH heavy casualties in Sirius, by the time they get to Sol the replacements consist of Rapier Is, Hornets, and... *gasp* Scimitars. UPDATE: Completed the mission and actually destroyed the Hakaga that time. I flew a...

Well I -did- take many many losses in the first mission of ep 4 also. But I don't see how that could be helped, I barely survived that fiasco myself :cool:. I basically destroyed two frigates and a destroyer myself and then spent the rest of the fight flying around the wreckage of a Ralatha...

So I've finally survived the attack on the Hakaga only to be fired by Reismann and lose the game? Bah. How do I avoid taking horrific casualties in this battle for Sirius? I wasn't able to destroy the Hakaga but we did a lot of damage to it and destroyed many of its escorts and sure we got wiped...

Yep, gotta go with Dun... I think WC2 is the prettiest of the series. Always have. I love blowing ships up in that game just to see the fireball and debris. And I especially love it when capships go boom. It's just a very pretty game.

Having read Loaf's brief history of the Aces, I think actually what I played for a little while was WC RPG. I just got confused since, as Loaf says, it came directly off of the Aces (and at that time they had only recently split up). It was fun as I remember it. I went through the "academy", did...

Maniac is easily my favorite character of the series. He has such an cool story arc. I.E. his initial craziness and bad reputation on the Claw, nervous breakdown, hero-dom and first command, getting passed over by Blair and hating him, then finally ending up being (I think) Blair's best friend...

That mission with the two Fralthra kept me from beating SO1 for a while also. In fact I gave up for months and only did it finally last spring.

I actually came in from a different route than most of you. I started out in this community on the AOL Wing Commander chat based RPGs, particularly from one named The Elite. There were -several- AOL WC RPGs at that point in time and they were all big dislikers of the WC Aces heh. But that...

In Standoff, there's that mission where you have to fight off a whole bunch of Gothri at once... I still have nightmares.

Man I'm happy I bought End Run way back when it was still widely available... *pats End Run*

I've always been impressed with the Scimitar. It actually got me through the final losing path mission alive and in one piece. Mostly. Hunter didn't make it, all my systems were fried, the cockpit was in pieces, i could barely use the radar, I had no guns left since I'd lost my last one ramming...

Completely agree, I love the WC1 - 2 music much better than the later iterations. This could be because I played them first but who knows. The main theme that plays in WC1's "In the distant future mankind is locked in a deadly war..." is my favorite of the series. Actually I don't really...

Been a while since I read the book but didn't Blair also have "relations" with a Kilrathi in it? I don't know with any certainy how much of that book can really be considered canon. I think WC4 love interests and I think Sosa>Catscratch, even though I have read the WC4 novel. I mean, in the...

Oh man, this just keeps getting funnier.

He's probably never going to reply heh.

Dude, you are my hero. :cool:

Pfft, you're all a bunch of draft dodgers :p

Flunk out of high school, get drafted into the marines, and take part in the last charge at Repleetah.
