    Starlancer Capital Ships

    Tru dat--if you go to the ITAC (ship's computer), you don't get ship classes w/ a sub-list of individual ship names, you just get ship names. And, yes, there are some classes that have more than one type of ship, and some minor capships that there are so many of that they don't warrant...

    Best and Worst WC ripoffs

    Nah, nothing that dramatic (the destruction of suns and planets, I mean)--at least, I don't think so--but there is combat. Quoting PCGamer December 2001, page 100: "75 planets, 145 moons, and over 100 space regions"..."over 60 different spacecraft and planetary vehicles available to be flown...

    Best and Worst WC ripoffs

    Yeah, it came out about 2 years ago--turns out it was actually playable (unlike the atrocious BC 3000), and it offered a HUGE game universe to do whatever you wanted in, but everybody had already given up on the series. I never played Freespace or Tachyon, but IWar 2 was pretty good, and...

    WC3 and WC4 Books

    I think that only WC1 and Priv2 have a different type of in-game "timing" that causes 'em to speed up on newer systems. I've got WC2 running on a 366 Mhz, and it runs just dandy; I've just gotta pause the cutscenes to read them, though... :p In reference to newer systems with older games...

    WC Privateer, Privatter2

    I'm interested; Rampage3051@hotmail.com. What country are you in?

    WingCommander-Simulator ? ?

    Personally, I like Rocs. What is the Leviathan--as opposed to a leviathan--anyways?

    WingCommander-Simulator ? ?

    The bible that most people are familiar with (the antiquated King James version, which has influence in just about every Book written since) is almost exclusively taken literally; the King James version was written and heavily modified, manipulated and edited my male authoritarians more than 500...

    WC Privateer, Privatter2

    You forgot Logan's Run. :cool: And I thought that the P2-semi-separate universe was pretty cool. I thought that while the first game (which I played through and immensely enjoyed) had more of a "what's out there?" mysterious feeling, the second had a tense, 'more-than-slightly-illegal,' kind...

    Space sim games (SW Episode II Spoilers)

    Even if Owen is the product of another marriage, when Anakin's mother (Schmi, I think) and Owen's father (forgot his name) married, Owen would have become Schmi's son. Thus, Owen is Anakin's half-brother. (I think) :confused:

    Question about fighter shields

    :) For once, I'm with TC

    I must know....

    I'm with LeHah; I thought that the ending to WCP, concerning Blair's death, had a very "canned" and overdone feel to it. I was diappointed with it when I first saw it, disappointed with the fact that Blair's death seemed so corny . But I also knew that that was the way it ended, like it or...

    The sonic accelerator

    If you want to stick with the "sonic canister" concept, without it becoming a hard-shelled missile, how's this: the gun produces the sonic vibration, encapsulates it in a magnetic-field (or something similar) 'bubble' and fires the bubble-missile at the enemy. When the magnetic field impacts...

    It's all good :cool:

    Joysticks

    That's sorta like the kind I started on WC1 with, way back when...It was a five-button, with three on the head of the stick (but it recognized the left thumb and the trigger as the same button) and 2 buttons on the base. It was a great stick, too, even though the trigger *did* wear out purely...

    Hobbes..............

    Yeah, the ship-size conundrum always gave me headaches. Besides the fact that WC2 uses much smaller (size of modern atmospheric planes) ships than all of the other games (well, except for Prophecy...), most of the fighters are truly HUGE; most of the fightercraft are bigger than the U.S. Space...
