"15 Mo taken on the hard drive, 590 Ko of RAM required to start the game with all the options, 7 1.44 Mo floppy disks. These few numbers give an idea of the scope of this massive game. And it's worth it! This is a real interactive movie in which you will participate." The first few lines which...

There's Cold Waters, its spiritual successor.

About MP games, Carrier Command 2 was released a couple of weeks ago, and... it's a perfect game if you're in the type of interface simulation stuff or, ideally, if you have a bunch of like-minded friends. TLDR, you're in command of an unmanned aircraft carrier fighting another such CV in an...

We'd all play a Sims 4 Wing Commander expansion. ;-)

Keep in mind that the CIC staff was regularly involved with the official revival efforts, and that if there actually is one underway, they might be under NDA (which they will respect). So regulars like us won't get more info than the rumours either.

Seconding this. The X-Wing series were my introduction to the EU, and they are very enjoyable with a mix of well-written space combat and secret ops. Yub yub, commander! :-P

The wings seem much wider than in the previous model. Not gonna lie: I'm in love with this. Like the F-35C is much less ugly than the A and B version thanks to its wider wings, it makes one hell of a good effect on Dragon.

He already made one:

Seconding this. It's sadly very rare to have Western media showing the aftermath of a war, especially a "victorious" one and how the world doesn't get to be happy and peaceful just because "the bad guy was killed by the good guys". In real life, it doesn't happen like that and it was an...

Heh heh, you bet I'm alive, more lurking than anything else at the moment, but I'd definitely be glad to get back in the action if you want to see the craft alive in either of the mods. :-P Though, our headcanons differ a bit, the tandem canopy makes me think about a light bomber role, à la...

That's one gorgeous fighter, DI! The twin-seater cockpit reminds me of the RL Super Hornet's. It seems to be a bit longer than the regular Excalibur, in a way that makes me think it would be a pretty interesting frame for a bomber in-universe. The FB-22 to Excalibur's F-22. A fighter I think a...

Interesting, I didn't know some of klavs' ships were ported in FRED (there's at least his Snakeir among the Kilrathi fleet). Pretty fun battle video indeed!

I used Slicker to reproduce the Wing Commander aesthetic in other works. I believe it's the one used in the CIC logo as well.

Grades in France are usually out of 20 in pretty much all academic environment, with 16+ considered to be excellent while 10 is the minimal "pass" note for various exams. The game got full marks on all categories but "only" 19/20 and not 20/20 because, and I translate: "I would have put a 20...

*looks at the silly claim that US healthcare is the best in the world* The US, where public healthcare spending is twice as high as in other developed countries for several years lower life expectancy. The country with one of the lower life expectancy of the First World, and where life...
