    $$$ movie

    The Rapier looks like an early WWII fighter with jets at the back and missiles on the wings. I think otherwise. The WC Movie fighter designs appeal to me more than the WC game models because they seemed to be more realistic.... The Rotating chain gun thing at the front was a very nice touch...

    Fav Wing Commander I Fighter?

    Proteus do you enjoy taking on a Gratha with a Hornet, I for sure don't, that's were the Raptor comes in handy. Taking out a Gratha with hornet is possible and yes it would take more effort however that's not what hornet was designed for. Going against that tank would probably drain out all...

    Fav Wing Commander I Fighter?

    I take the hornet. It's fast and has fast gun re-charge rate. Although it might prove weak on longer missions...however mix it up with some medium and heavy fighters and it stands out on it's own.

    Flight roster for us?

    How about we make a flight roster for ourselves?! We could use the WC4 motif control panel (where you can select various pilots) or use the WC5 one (dont know how that looks). With flash animation we could also make it a bit fancy too! Also land fighting people. (marines could be included in...

    Do you autopilot?

    I always liked the autopilot. This feature will be very usefull in massive online space combat games. (that is if they can get multiple players in-synch when travelling in autopilot)

    Speed?

    What is the kph in the ships? What would it be converted to km/h? I always wondered about this.

    Cockpit or no cockpit?

    Starlancer has (judging from screenshots) a nice cockpit view and if you switch ships you will have a different looking one. The thing about this Starlancer cockpit is that it somehow creates your own atmosphere as you sit in your fighter. There is only a thin (yet strong) sheet of glass between...

    Cockpit or no cockpit?

    I think it was WC3 where they had that virtual mode view and in WC4 you only had that. I think the best cockpit view was from WC1&WC2 the 3rdWC cockpit was not really to my liking although still nice looking. Now I think if they can make a really nice looking cockpit than it would give a...

    Game intro poll

    I also have to go with WC3. You see the Tigers Claw go down into the lava. WC3 had still more of a cartoonish kind of feel WC4 was more realisitic and ship design more life like.

    When and How you heard or saw something about WC for the first time?

    Back in I think it was 93/94 when I first saw this game (WC1) for rent for the snes. I saw a space ship on the box so I thought "what the heck." The thing about this is that I kept renting this game over and over cause I didnt know how to land aboard the Tigers Claw! (where you have to...

    wing commander games

    ....if they feel they want to make more offline games..it's upto them...but sooner or later they will have to make it online. I think the current graphics are suitable for online play(?)...but we could might as well see cinematic quality online gaming down the future..

    About Freelancer and stuff
