    Freespace 2

    Well, seeing as how the first 3 letters of the site (after the www part) is "the" I would assume that he is talking about the site which hosts games that are 10+ years old and are discontinued by their various publishers (iow, abandoned by their publishers). I personally have nothing wrong with...

    Strike Commander

    Don't forget to mention that the expansion let you fly an F-22.

    Your WC dream ship?

    Given the choice of either the Hellcat or the Vindicator (for atmospheric flight), I'll choose the Vindicator anyday.

    Your WC dream ship?

    Hey McGruff, what animal is that? It kinda looks like either a cat or a lamb.

    Your WC dream ship?

    All this talk of the Banshee made me remember that I always chose the Banshee as my fighter/interceptor (that is, if I couldn't have my dear Avenger). So, I suppose I gotta make an addendum: My dream BW ship is a tie between the Banshee (a single shot of the spread fire ion cannon at close...

    Your WC dream ship?

    My apologies Death. As I said, it's a little pet peeve of mine. Anyways, I suppose I should post something relevant to the thread: Dream Border World fighter: Avenger (those stormfire Mk2's sounded awesome) Dream Confed fighter (Centurion is not Confed, IIRC): multiple, see below...

    Your WC dream ship?

    If you're talking to me, I beat myself to it. Why do people not read my edits? I mean, it's right there at the end, it's not exactly nestled in the body of my text, hidden from the eyes of people who just glance over it. If people just take the time to read my entire post(s) they will see...

    Your WC dream ship?

    Did you happen to read my post? The one directly above the one you just made? If you did, did you happen to read the EDIT that I made in it? If it wasn't clear, I recanted my claim about g-forces on the basis that the ship is putting stresses on the pilots body. For a while there, I...

    Your WC dream ship?

    I would imagine it is because, while the ship is altering its velocity, the inhabitants do not change their velocity (unless they are directly connected to the ship via a harness). If a person were not buckled in a seat, then when the ship accelerates, the person would be slammed into the back...

    Your WC dream ship?

    Um, guys...when you're in space there are no g-forces. That's why they call it zero-g...as in no gravity. The only reason for "flight" suits (which are really just space suits) is so that you will survive in space if you have to eject. And the line about the puking person due to rolls would...

    Your WC dream ship?

    All-time favorite: Centurion loaded with 4 tach cannons, 2 missile launchers armed with IR missiles, shield upgrade 5, power plant upgrade 5 (gotta love that Righteous Fire equipment).

    With Origin gone, has Lord British made any appearances?

    Yeah, I knew he left. But, the statement that Origin was closed was news to me (and I keep fairly up-to-date about stuff regarding what I considered to be one of the best developers around). So, I was only responding to the claim that Origin was shut down. EDIT: Sorry, posted before I read...

    With Origin gone, has Lord British made any appearances?

    Since when did Origin close down? Last I checked (about 10 seconds ago) Origin was developing Ultima X.

    Privateer nostalgia...

    Actually, I don't think it was made by Chris Roberts, in any way. It was made by Erin Roberts (Chris' brother).

    Damn. 'Holographic' displays.

    The problem with that is that they are still adding something to the air. They are adding energy into the air (in the form of photons to bring the electrons into a higher quantum level). If that's the case, then they would be mis-advertizing in saying that they don't add anything to the air...

    Damn. 'Holographic' displays.

    Back to the topic at hand, I really like the following sentences from the page: "Air comes into the device, is modified then ejected and illuminated to produce the image. Nothing is added to the air so there isn't any harmful gas or liquid emitted from the device, and nothing needs to be...

    Fleet Action?

    K. Thanks for the info.

    Fleet Action?

    Say, whatever happened to the Homeworld mod that is meant to make it a Wing Commander RTS? Is the project dead? Is it just being converted into the Homeworld2 engine? I would love to know what's been going on with this mod.

    Favorite Anime?

    For me, Last Exile seems like one of those 'what-if' situations. What if the aerial dogfighting of Crimson Skies was mixed in with the world of Skies of Arcadia? The ship to ship combat really reminds me of the cap-ship battles that I've had in Homeworld (1 and 2). I'm also kinda surprised...
