    What was your first Wing Commander experience?

    WC1 on SNES for me. I was sort of skeptical at first, as my best friend told me about it and said "You've got to try this"...I was home on leave and had a few things on my mind that I wanted to do. I ended up playing through at least half the game in one setting!
  2. Tigerhawk

    Best pefected move.

    These are my stupid little names for tactics I like using: - "The Knockout Punch": This is basically a fancy way of saying that I'd ram the rear of an enemy ship when my gun capacitors ran dry, but the hull is exposed to damage. Two or three jams with afterburner, and they'd buy it with my...

    Prophecy Multiplayer Scoreboard Implemented (June 23, 2007)

    Actually, I took the version that has the full pack, but that was dated a year ago(?) Was there a new one I might have missed? I'll try to reinstall what I have as well...school first, though. :-| I do have PowerDVD, yes. Should I be using a different player instead?

    About EA and WC games...

    Actually, with the things I've seen of Apple, I'm not sure I'd trust it. The first huge experience I had with an Apple was during my Navy days...the AF base I was assigned to gave their print shop brand new G4s. These things would crash literally every ten minutes. The civvy employees who...

    Prophecy Multiplayer Scoreboard Implemented (June 23, 2007)

    Film crashing problem I'm having a problem with the DVD movies. Whenever I go to a film cut, the game crashes. Briefing, conversations, doesn't matter. When I first ran this fix, it ran with no problem and I loved the movie enhancement. But all it's doing now is crashing when going to...

    Fighter Group Term Question

    They only ever called her "Commander", so I'm assuming that, if it's the same as the Naval ranks, she'd be the equivalent of a lieutenant colonel. Then again, where Prophecy is concerned, no one really seemed to have any type of distinguishing rank insignia. That's where I loved the dress...

    Wing Commander Prophecy multiplayer...

    Problems with Prophecy crashing I'm now having a problem with the new video crashing Prophecy. I can look at the kill board, flight history terminal, etc., but when I get to playing any part of any movie sequence, Prophecy crashes. I don't get why either, because it was working perfectly...

    If you had to fly a fighter from Wc2

    Use your superior shields to your advantage, fire at max range as often as possible to score some early armor-rippage and, like it was said earlier, bob and weave. Take fire dead on and...well...you're dead. Like I've said before, it's the only craft I've been able to use to complete the very...

    Wing Commander Prophecy multiplayer...

    Not really a multiplayer question, but one on Prophecy anyway. As far as the graphics are concerned, is there any way to have the crosshairs intact with a mode other than Software? If I play with Direct3D, it goes away. Took me a while, but I loaded up and added the mods, including the...

    Transformers movie

    Could have been an editing error. Personally, I didn't notice Starscream attacking Megatron with the rest of them, but it *is* rather hard to keep up. Jazz being a Solstice...I don't think the worst offense is that Jazz is a Pontiac, I think the worst offense is that Jazz went from a Porsche...

    Arrow and Wraith in Simulator

    I have a question related to the Sim: I just finished all 15 waves in the Arrow...FINALLY! (Ran out of afterburner fuel in the 15th wave and I was REALLY lucky that no more missiles were gunning for me after that happened!) Anyway, I finished it...what was that song that played after the...

    Your Favorite Taunt

    You forgot, "Wait, Confed, that's not...right..." Speaking of favorite generic comms: Maestro: (GOTTA love him!) "Yoo hoo! Mr. Ugly!" "Maestro lines up for the shot..." "Splits the uprights!" "I think I liked it better when I didn't understand them." Maniac: "You creeps haven't...

    Your Favorite Taunt

    YES!! Thank you...I was trying to think of that when I posted a few days ago, but couldn't remember it. "Cats, bugs, whatever...you all die the same." Between that, and: "Look out, bugs...Blair's back!" "You have no idea who you're dealing with, do you?"

    Your Favorite Taunt

    I always loved blowing cats up while they're laughing at me. The taunt that wasn't: "Hey! Pick on somebody your own...uhm...never mind." Actually, one of my all-time faves comes from Bradshaw: "Is this some kind of joke? Do you even know how to fly that thing?"

    Transformers movie

    Well, okay, though I'm not so sure this is much of a plothole. I mean, where do you send the things? Cybertron, USA? Can't exactly meet up for anything either, as that's not the way eBay does things. And besides...that's not the Decepticon's way. They're flat evil, and they're going to use...

    A Wing Commander Comic

    Outstanding. Simply and justly so.

    Gladius gets the bad rap...

    Well, at least it's better than flying a flying a desk... I don't much like the Gladii, mainly because its shields seem rather weak for a fighter-bomber. The maneuverability isn't really that great, and without much in the way for shields to compensate for it, it seemed like you were getting...

    Secret Ops Question

    EXACTLY! I always just rammed it myself, seeing as how that thing also seemed to be the hardest turret to hit. None of the other pilots could ever hit the thing and everyone would just be wasting torpedoes trying to get the engine, so unless it was in a Devastator and that wide-load of a...

    Secret Ops Question

    Thought so. Which, in turn, always made me wonder just exactly why the turrets down there aren't exactly dead-eye. I mean, if a Nephilum transport can have a single rear turret that kills inbound torpedoes with deadly accuracy until that turret gets whacked, how come the Confederation can't...

    Transformers movie

    I highly enjoyed it. I guess I thought the line of "Freedom is the right of all sentient beings" being taken directly Optimus' original card with his stats was well done. I highly enjoyed it, though I have to agree that some of it went waaaay too fast for the camera angles, and one scene at...
