Missions Impossible
Paul Hughes has come through again! He helped us out immensly with our Privateer 2 anniversary material last month... and now he's dusted off his archive and found even more material for Wing Commander fans! The following links include all the mission text from Privateer 2 -- the BBS postings, diary entries, winning and losing e-mails and more... and another set below contains all the 'unique' in-flight ship names! There's a stunning amount of material here -- I've already learned two new Wing Commander diseases... check it out!
DIARY - Diary Entries
GTEXT - In-Game Text
MISSION0-9 - BBS Missions: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
MISSIONM - Plot Missions
MISSIONR - SOS Missions
MISSIONT - Test Missions
MISSIONB - French Missions
MTEXT0-R - Mission Specific Ship Names: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, Plot, SOS.
Pay special attention to the 'test' file, too... it has several missions not in the finished game. I've also made a 'sorted' text file here, with all the missions organized in the same fashion as Origin's Official Guide to Privateer 2 -- it's available here.

That Would Be Talon!
... and here's something very cool that we found in the SOS Mission file: a continuation of infamous 'CIS CODE 3' mission which was 'commented out'. A second e-mail from the CIS that would have further cemented the idea that the unknown ship might have flown in from the original Privateer:
//FROM: CIS HEADQUARTERS, SPECIAL OPS. DIV. {CR}
//TO: Ser Lev Arris {CR}
//{CR}
//The pilot you picked up some time ago, has come around after a brief period
//of shock. Since then he has made surprising improvements, and hopes to
//return home very soon. He claims to come from another part of the galaxy
//somewhat similar to our own.{CR}
//{CR}
//All in all this is a very interesting individual, though we can't tell if he's
//completely insane or just suffering some temporary nerve damage due to some
//head injury. In any case we will keep you updated, Ser Arris. Once again,
//thank you for your speedy attention to his distress call.{CR}

Atlantis Successfully Launches
The Space Shuttle Atlantis successfully took off from the Kennedy Space Center this morning on its way to the International Space Station. NASA has a nice gallery here to check out photographs from the beautiful launch. We'll have to try to organize some event to watch a shuttle lift off in person while they're still in service.
