Tiger's Claw all the way, man! ;)

For me it was. Although currently I always use a joystick, back in the day I used the keyboard exclusively, and had to cope with this limitation.

Moreover, not only the small entry in backstory in the WC2 Manual states that the player character met fighters that seemed to vanish, but we also see a pair of Strakha briefly uncloacking near the Claw and launching torpedos at her in the game opening.

Yes, maybe it's your PC, or maybe you're trying to use WC1 tactics that are not very useful in WC2. I remember that first mission with Hobbes, when I discovered that everything that I've ever knew about battling heavy fighters in WC1 was absolutelly useless in WC2! :p Those turrets do make a...

Your special place? :D Hope you're baiting him for something real nasty! ;)

Congrats, Shapshooter! ;) I'm also very fond of the Dralthi MkII.

Thanks, Dundradal! ;) But, hey, that's really an out-of-the way system!

Yep. That's exactly how I always tried to explain the whole issue to myself since then.

Good! Now you can occupy yourself with the mind boggling question of how the hell the Gwenhyvar got a squadron of brand new Rapiers! :D

Where is this B'shriss system, anyway? :confused: When I played WCP, I always thought that Ice's death had taken place during the campaign that ended in the 'Claw getting nailed in K'tithrak Mang. Off course, back then I wasn't familiar with that rather ambiguous quote from the WC 1 & 2...

Thanks! :D Funny thing is, if you just want to pass the mission, it's really easy - just afterburn in, waste the Gwenhyvar, and afterburn out. No big. Now, if you want to really rule it, it's a whole other thing. This time I was really bent on getting the job done. I spent some hours...

While the WC1/2 Guide makes for a really cool piece of fiction - almost like the novelization of WC1 and 2 - I don't think its information is very trustworthy. :( The guide states that the "Attack my target" order will make your wingman stick to the same target as you even if you switch targets...

I do believe it's the same planet - McAuliffe VI. That red background outside the windows of the research instalation in WC1 does resemble the description of the planet we see in Action Stations...

Hmm... I don't believe Tolwyn would spare someone an assignment because he liked him/her. Specially in those desperate days that followed the Battle of Terr. If Bear was in the Conventry, it's because Tolwyn needed him precisely there. Anyway, this is just my opinion. I also don't believe that...

Confed capships can only destroy Kilrathi fighters when said fighters kill themselves by ramming the capships.

Ah, but Wing Commander 1 was back when guns were guns, not bizarre wachamacalits to increase the number of dubious "options" to the player! ;)

The Gwenhyvar is an Exeter-class destroyer in Wing Commander, although it's completely unarmed so, after disposing of the Rapiers, it's defenceless. As a matter of fact, I don't remember ever seeing a Confed Capship firing a single shot in any mission in WC1 or the Secret Missions... :(

There's definitelly something strange with that gunchart. It lists WC1's Mass Driver at 4.5cm and the Neutron Gun at 3.0cm, while wasting more energy thab the Mass Driver (which would make the Neutron rather pointless). Also, I did some bloody testing in-game and found out that I can nail a...

I did! Once. The most recent time I played. I was so ridiculously happy because of that I immediately logged in #Wingnut just to shamelessly brag about it! :D
