Quite a while since I played it... you know her position, don't you? When you're there, I'm quite certain it's just a standard escort mission, so you have to send her the "let's get going" message via the inflight C-menu. (Then of course set course to nav 68, watch her speed and as soon as it...

From the stars we came, and to the stars we return, from now until the end of time.

1998, 1993... the numbers almost look the same at first sight. But from competent gaming journalists I'd expect to get the release year of DOOM right.

Actually, WC3 was my first WC game, too. My then best friend made me play it. After a few days, he asked me how far through I already was. Careful not to spoil anything he inquired whether the "thing with Hobbes" had already happened. - I hadn' progressed that far yet, but called it right away...

Just for the record, my favourite "WC" game is Privateer 2 The Darkening.

I like the Beatcat very much, for the same reasons that've been already mentioned. It's a believable evolution of the wartime designs, a model to rule the vast areas of space in a post-war environment, advanced yet not too heavy / expensive. Suited for low-intensity patrol duties without being...

I mentioned Hitler because of their final moments: Choosing suicide when rounded up. From the biography and character, Kurtz would be the more interesting one to compare Tolwyn with: Brilliant military commander gone insane on a vision of ruthless warfare without any rules. Wanting to save his...

Sure, he did what he thought had to be done... completely nuts and he committed terrible crimes. Just like Kurtz in Apocalypse Now, he didn't evolve into a visionary but into a monster. Kurtz at least realized it and let them finish it, while Tolwyn fought until the end and the way I understood...

I didn't like Catscratch. He was a pain in the ass and a worthless pilot. Flash was a douchebag alright but at least he knew how to fly.

Well, I had feelings like "what a waste" or "it was too early" too. Maybe they did that on purpose... After all, such dramatic twists are intended to provoke an emotional response. And the story of WC4 does a very good job in challenging the player in that respect. Will you let your anger direct...

If you refuse /fail the first Shondi mission, you will never have a chance to play the second Shondi mission. That's all you lose (and a lot of money of course). The mercenary missions through the booth system will still begin to pop up, as will the cinematic secondary missions come in from time...

If I'm not mistaken, the first "WC" game with a real co-op mode was StarLancer.

This is the number one resource for everything Wing Commander. If, say, in the year 2020 someone is looking for information about secondary missions in Priv 2, he will most likely end up reading this topic. Would be a shame if that someone found less than what would have been readily available...

Just for the record: Not all of these optional missions start with an in-flight email. Most do though. Sometimes there are other variables. Two examples: The second Xavier Shondi mission, obviously, can only be triggered when the first one is completed... / The Auntie Maria mission starts when...

Hi Your writing style with random words written in caps is exhausting. Anyway, I can't give a complete answer to your question (or, what appears to be your question) but I have one information that's certainly valuable for your situation: Mission arcs that include cinematic footage can always...

I don't have anything useful to add, but for the record, you are all pathetic descendants of monkeys!

I've watched most of it and found it very entertaining. Thank you, Cenaurianmudpig.

"At some point in the next days." Yeah. Well, it also has to do with the end of the Privateer 2 Story being a little disappointing. Maybe I'll finish this little diary some day, say in another five years or so.

Welcome aboard 7an. I hope you enjoy your playthrough. If you run into more questions, don't hesitate to ask them. I once wrote a narration of a game of Privateer 2, maybe you'll want to have a look at it to compare it to your own game (but only after you've finished your game, we don't want to...

You definitely don't have to buy a new one. The thing about it being only worth four uses per flight is new to me. Though I have never used the BSE extensively because I think it sucks and paralyzed targets are almost harder to hit than normally flying ones.
