The only carriers I see flying "solo", would be the big Midway and Vesuvius classes, if only due to the huge fighter wings on each. Added, the Vesuvius would have the equipment to slug it out with other capships on top of that. (I doubt this would ever come up though, as in most engagements...

If the plasma weapon on the Kraken was pointed at a planet like Earth, what kind of destruction are we looking at? I would think the presence of oxygen would amplify the explosive power of the plasma burst, but I was just a grunt, so I wouldn't really know. Anybody wanna take a crack at this...

d3r3k, My backup was gonna be one on amazon. All 4 cd's plus manual, but a bit pricy for not NIB.

Jeeze, isn't the Dragon listed as 40 meters???

I just installed the game, opened the folder, and clicked on WC1. It ran fine under Windows XP.

I just got ahold of Wing Commander 1&2 plus all the secret missions add-ons. Before I was unable to play these games, but these ones worked so I got lucky I guess. I'm only 3 missions into WC1 (alas I have to work), but I totally dig the feel of the game. You really get the impression that...

There i was in my (insert fighter here) when i spotted (number) (insert plane here) at (designation)....

Awesome, that clears up a lot =) Thanks. Anybody have a listing of Confed's Aces? Sorry this has me really curious, I believe the highest victory total in real life was the 352 of Eric Hartmann. I'm just curious how many were racked up by Confed's best.

Yeah, more like real life =) I ran out of decoys every mission just about.

I saw some at Amazon.com and there is one on ebay right now but hands off! But seriously, I did see it at Amazon.com and Ebay.

Sorry for all the questions. I was away from WC for a while and am just now coming back so I appreciate any insight you can lend me. 1) I recall in the ICIS manual (I can't verify this because I can't find it now so my data could be wrong too)it says that Maniac scored his 2000th kill which...

Were they actually listed as aces? It's been a while for me but I don't remember any. Also I was on normal mode, were you higher?

Devil Ray pilots are very good, but I recall in Prophecy the first time through there were I think 3 Devil Rays throughout the game that were specifically labeled "Devil Ray Ace". No such Devils Rays were in SO if I remember correctly.

If it's a carrier fight, I'm going to go with the ship that can carry the most fighters/bombers. More fighters mean more recon, more CAP, and more cover (for the bombers as well). More bombers equates to a stonger ability to strike the opposing carrier. Most likely, niether carrier will...

I seem to remember getting about 535-565 kills the first time I ran through Prophecy and over 800 on Secret Ops. That was on Ace mode I don''t know if the difficulty effects how many enemies there are. NSO stands for Nuclear Security Officer. Otherwise known as 'Armed Responders'.

Nobody huh? Anyone care to share personal totals?

How many Kills is it possible to get in Prophecy+Secret Ops? Also, how many of those are alien aces? ...I'm gonna make a run at this next week =)

Does anybody know if there are any active Wing Commander PBEM's? Also, I am looking for a Mr. Kat plushie for my wife. Anybody know where to find one or if they exist?

Do you have a website?
