So I'm guessing most of the CIC community will be on XBL on 7/25 eh? Well then when Arena comes out I'm going to do two things. 1) Fly Kilrathi because I always wanted to do that 2) Shoot down as much of the staff of the CIC as possible or die trying.

I've ejected around Daktath before and I've never been killed by him. I think that's just a plot thing. And yes, I remembe the deadly one weaponed Hornet in the SNES version. I was -deadly- with that thing, I used to actually be happy when I lost one of my guns.

Yea but it's not THAT impressive. In WC1 you can eject and not worry about being taken prisoner or instantly failing a mission. The only thing I had to do was complete the really important missions to stay on the winning branch or get back on it if I got sidetracked. SM1 and SM2 weren't that...

I've managed to do WC1 and SM1 and 2 without dying I believe... just gotta learn when to withdraw or eject and complete enough missions so you still win in the end. Incidentally, when you're going for a "No Dying" campaign, the fun part is when your ejection system gets blown out. Now that's...

Oh well yea, -that- sucks. Happened to me a few times on this mission. At that point you should just ram one of the cruisers and restart.

I made a help thread about this very mission last year. It is indeed a challenge. Not much for it but to barrel in at afterburners and evade the AMG fire just enough so you don't lose your lock. Trick is get a lock when you're outside the range of their guns then fly in as fast as you can and...

:eek: That's just evil. Traitor!

Space sims went downhill after they got rid of the WC1/WC2 interface. :) Nothing was scarier to me than being in the middle of a huge dogfight and knowing that the last missile had -destroyed- my ejection system, yelling at the "Eject" alarm to shut the hell up because you know you can't eject...

Pfft, you're only at episode 1 and you're already praising them? You haven't seen anything yet. ;)

Keep it up Standoff. You know, I have this friend who's a huge Wingnut but he refuses to play Standoff until you guys release episode 5, no matter how much I rag him to play episodes 1 - 3. I think he just can't handle playing episodes 1 - 3 and then being forced to wait a few months, he'd just...

Yea I figured it out... oddly enough being close didn't help, I had to be really far away and slowly track them in. I don't know what was up, I think it might have been some problem with my controls. You do have to do some juryrigging to play these games after all...

No lie, when I first saw your work on the CIC page I thought they were pictures from the Claw Marks manual. Then I looked closer. Excellent work!

Do it. The losing path in episode 3 is great.

This is making me angry. I need to tractor these MIPs in at the end of the mission, so I go in close, get them in the rear turret's sights, hit G, and then nothing happens. I see the tractor beam symbol at the right of the crosshairs but these dang MIPs never come onboard and it's driving me nuts.

Don't forget about us Rapier pilots though! :D

Yea I really liked the TV show's music. As far as the games go, I'm a WC1/2 music kind of guy.

I just played the first training mission and I gotta say, this is just magnificent. I had no idea you guys were creating something THIS good.

Yea, the lack of cockpits in WC4 is my biggest criticism of that game.

Yea I always thought that was unnecessary. Though I never use the rear turret much anyway. Although, the one time I did I made the coolest WC kill ever by simultaneously destroying three Drakhri within 2 or 3 seconds of one another.

Meh, to each his own. I always have preferred WC1's to WC2's.
