I'm surprised they stopped making the Confederation-class; all they had to do was slightly redesign the keel without the PTC, and you'd still have a perfectly fine ship; 120 fighters (more than any other carrier aside from Vesuvius, Midway, and Hakaga), more anti-matter guns than most cruisers...

The Arrow is alright; to little firepower for my tastes. You normally only have a fighter in your sights for a second or two, and you have to kill it that time. That's why I prefer the Morningstar. Though, with that kind of speed and manuverability, the Arrow could outfight any Kilrathi light...

Yeah, well, that's the F-22. I never liked 'em; they rely too much on technology to win; a novice pilot could crush an enemy squadron, yes, but put him in one of those F-15's and watch him flounder. Besides, we all know the record that the F-15 has - I distinctly remember reading a story where...

Is it just me, or is the Morningstar amazingly powerful? It instakills Sartha fighters and can take most others down in two or three shots on full guns. If I was in charge of Confed, i'd be making these ships by thousands! Kamekh's fall like flies before these things. Will the Morningstar be...

I just played through the losing track - I made it through the mission without any problems (aside from dozens of fighters hounding me). I tried focusing on the Ralatha's turrets and took them out; I never touched the Fralthi, the other fighters took that one out. Both capships were dropped, and...

Say, do we get a different introduction to episode four if we survive episode three's losing track? I ended up going down that path just a few minutes ago - ironically, I found it easier than the winning track... but that's me.

Well, had I known that... In that case, disregard my last post and i'll say that if the PTC would work right then the Hakaga would be royally screwed. Remember Goddard?

Spoons was okay; I thought he was just too stuck up. Trigger was great; generic, but indeed his dialogue is classic.

Last I heard the Concordia-class wasn't well armed, it was more equipped for point-defense than for a straight up fight. A Hakaga carrier, not only capable of carrying considerably more fighters than any Confed carrier to that point, was also far better armored and presumably armed. I don't...

So we actually DO get to keep the fighters that were destined for the TCS Moskva... I don't think her crew will be happy about that one. It said the Moskva retreated, and was not destroyed. I really don't think they'll like having to give up their fighters to a midget carrier. Ah, screw them...

Either way, Makaan's flagship looks totally screwed in that last picture there.

I blame it on Berman and Braga. Anyway, i'm really looking forward to episode four. Will it be longer than the previous episodes, or just a few missions and then put everything into episode five? Not that there's anything wrong with that, i'm just wondering where development is going. I...

Sorry Chris, i'm new here, still learning everything...

Ah. My mistake. I didn't really know what was canon or not, but I thought i'd at least point out the option. Thank you for correcting me.

As far as stats go, you might want to check out the fleet tactics website. It only goes up through Wing Commander 3, but most of the ships from 3 were also in 4, so it'll help some. I'm not sure how accurate it is, but it all sounds pretty reasonable. http://tactics.solsector.net That...

It could be programmed that that is how you lose the game, perhaps? I don't know.

I greatly enjoyed it. I've almost forgotten what it was like to play Wing Commander! Great explanation of what was going on up to the Battle of Earth; I like how everyone's complaining about the reduction of force and all, and everyone joining the pirates was a nice touch as well. Just...
