The fighter reminds me of an Epee/Ferret/Talon hybrid. Did they influence the design or were you more inspired by real-life warplanes?

The Vic Viper made its debut in Gradius (the old Nintendo game) and then reappeared along with a sister ship, the RoadBritish Space Destroyer, in an unoffical Gradius sequel called Life Force (the arcade version was named Salamander). Info on Gradius can be found here...

I want my toys back. This is a pretty interesting thread, too. But gimmie my toys! :)

::sniffle:: Nobody mentioned the Vic Viper or the Road British Destroyer! ... (not like anyone would, but this thread made me think of them) ;)

I like! Nice design.

Nice, very very nice! Saga 4 teh win! :)

Wow...never seen that before. It's strangely odd seeing the ships and people I'm used to looking entirely different...not to mention Khajja "Machine" instead of "The Fang". I think they changed Dakkath's name, too, wasn't he Dakkath "Deathstroke" nar Caxi instead of "na Sihkag"? I like the...

Very nice!

For Spirit dying, have you tried sending her back to the Claw at some point during the mission? I forget if she's on her super-obedient kick at that point in the game or not.

That's actually pretty cool.

It's a minor point at this juncture in the discussion, but regarding the instance were it was mentioned that in the WC-Movie, Angel's referred to as a "Wing Commander," as someone already posted, that term's tossed around quite a bit. In WC-1, on your first mission, Bluehair's given command of...

Yeah, you can see the date you were awarded the medal, which I'm pretty sure should match up with the mission briefing date, but I never cross-checked the two.

Very nice indeed!

Very very cool. ::crosses fingers in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, he can fly a Raptor again::

Cool! I just started Ep. 1 and am only a few missions in, so starting over to get the new enhancements won't be bad at all! (besides, I've lost waaaaaaay too many fighters already. Silly ejecting wingmen...)

If you're looking ahead longterm, buy the house (yeah, where do you live that you can get a house for 10k?...that's freaking cheap!). Fix it up, then rent all of it, or part of it. Let someone else pay the mortgage. You can't go wrong with property (in most cases at least).

Nice! It actually looks like it might be capable of doing damage to something! As always, I love Howie's stuff and look forward to the day he's inspired to build a Raptor and/or a Gratha ;) Keep it coming, man!

Does anyone remember those Wing Commander lithographics that were sold back when WC-IV came out? I figure people 'round here have them but does anyone have extras? I have the WC-IV ones, but would love the WC-III set, too.

As to why you'd need 7 controllers... 7 person racing in NASCAR 7 person battles in NCAA and Madden 7 person super RPG Not saying it wouldn't get super chaotic, but it'd sure as hell be cool! :)

I loved that show. It was one of the few (especially on regular network TV) that would introduce a character, make the viewer get emotionally attached, and then kill the character off. I was really disappointed when they cancelled the series, though the final episode left the fates of some...
