    Great writing. Your able to build up your stories with tension and suspense in a way that makes me want to not stop reading. That is the sign of a good story, great imagination and skillful writing. Keep it up!

    If your having trouble targeting the cats here are a few things that might help you 1) Invest in a good joystick if you don't have one. It takes time to get used to one but when you can perform complex barrel rolls and other nice maneouvers it really does add to the feel of the game as well...

    Thank you

    I have a couple of questions Firstly how do you get onto the losing path on Epsiode 1. And can you join the pirates cause everytime i go into the navmap I select the pirate base (by toggling N) but my autopilate wont let me fly there when squealer gives me the offer Secondly if you take...

    Idea for Standoff

    The only thing I found that makes nightmare more difficult is that the kilrathis Sartha's and Drakhri are much much nastier and dont hesitate in launching dumbfires at you and your wingmen. And when your wingmen are flying torpedo runs on carriers and cruisers they are easy target practice for...

    Can I Shoot Down That Guy In The Ep3 Losing Path?

    Yep I actually hit him with a dumbfire once and it only took out the armor. the actual ship wasnt damaged

    Excellent suggestions for Standoff team

    haha well the other night I played the snakier mission on nightmare and all the confed fighters were off dealing with some other kats so I had the honour of having a dog fight with Kramm Deathfang. He actually hit my Rapier with a dumbfire so I guess I should give him some credit. But I still...

    ~~~ I don't remember fighting Kramm Deathfang in WC3 but assuming that he is harder for Colonel Blair to kill I guess he realised that he needed to spend a few more hours in the simulator then what he has been before the Battle of Earth

    Excellent suggestions for Standoff team

    ~~~ thats true its real hard when you fly a Broadsword in the Simulator mission 5 on difficulty 3. I'd say on average I'd have about an 80% death rate. Although If Kramm Deathfang and the other Jalkehi's spent there time flying at you firing their 5 guns instead of either flying in circles or...

    Excellent suggestions for Standoff team

    If I could make a minor suggestion for Standoff it would be that the Kilrathi Aces be a bit more deadly than they are currently. I love the way they launch a continual barrage of taunts at you which come from some of the aces in WC3 like 'Bloodmist' which I think was used for Korgath Bloodfist...

    Wing Commander online

    With the slow progress is it mainly that the new missions are proving very difficult to work with stability wise? Cause I noticed myself that the bigger missions like the pirate base and the Snakier strike that the game can run a bit choppy. But then in the battles at Sirius and Earth add a...

    Excellent suggestions for Standoff team

    Mind you though I'm not over fussed on the sabre in standoff (but i never played WC2). Sure the torpedo loadout of 4 + with afterburners makes for a deadly bomber which is much more maneaurable than either the crossbow or broadsword but those shields of 100 (according to the SO website) for a...

    Future Direction for the Standoff Team

    Well eh that was my fault. I wanted to know if the Standoff were working on any other projects and I was hoping that a game parallel to WC3 at the battle of Fryea + Hyperion would be produced. But Falcon 988 pointed me to Saga which I didnt know existed before that.

    Future Direction for the Standoff Team

    I checked out WC Saga from google - couldn't seem to find it on CIC - maybe its not hosted. Anyway though the project looks amazing esp the trailers and screenshots! i can't wait till that comes out. So many Wing Commander games to play..... It seems just like the good old days but even better.

    Let's discuss tactics...

    Ah yes the Snakier mission. That caused me a load of troubles when I first got to it. I initially played standoff on Keyboard and doing that mission on ace seemed unwinnible to me on both rapier and gladius. When I got a joystick however I won first time round! So if you don't have a joystick...

    Future Direction for the Standoff Team

    Yeah I can understand what Quarto says. I guess you have to cap the projects somewhere while you still have your sanity :) I mean theres endless possibilities for WC projects. I sure as hell hope that the team has a holiday no later than after Chapter 4 comes out. They sure deserve it. But...

    Future Direction for the Standoff Team

    I know this is some time off yet But I'm starting this thread to hear (read) what the Standoff Team will be working on once this project is finished. If I had a personal preference I'd love to see a campaign set right at the end of the Kilrathi war when the remnents of the Confederation...

    Battle for the Verdun

    Thats the other thing you have to watch with the Verdun. Even though the mission isnt too hard if you know what your doing, it blows up after 2 torp hits which is a bit of a surprise considering the Firekka and confed destroyers can take 3 hits before blowing up and their only 1/2 the size of...

    News update

    I guess but by the time the Kilrathi reach Earth so many confed pilots will have been killed that it probably wouldnt be much of a surprise to see maniac esp as Confed will have its 'back to the wall'.

    Battle for the Verdun

    Hey everyone Standoff has already climbed to one of the best all time games I've played. Great work! Just a small question about the battle at the Verdun. I notice that the point defence laser turrets don't try to shoot down any incoming torpedoes but I've seen the Firekka and the Snakier...
