Didn't Blair and Maniac almost get killed when facing Seether in the WC4 novel? Story-wise, Seether looks much scarier than Jazz, IMO. Gameplay-wise... Well, they're both pretty terrible. Jazz never gets a chance to hit you once you're used to his flying style, and one missile can be enough...

Did you say Marine shuttles? Could it possibly involve a bunch of Hakaga too? :p Anyway, great job. It sounds like Ep.5 is going to be a grand finale indeed (and the Battle of Terra is one of the most epic battles in the WC universe, I can't wait to see how the last mission will turn out).

I believe he'd say "Are you trying to tell me something" the first time, and if you did it too much, he'd tell you something like "prepare to die" and then attack. Sadly, I don't have the English version of WC4, so I can't quote Seether directly. EDIT : About Jazz : I believe he'd say "Hey...

My favorite wingmen would be Panther and Hawk from WC4. I almost always pick Panther for the Peleus missions and Hawk for Outrun Ella.

WC1 : Gratha SM1 and SM2 : Rapiers, Hhriss. WC2 : Grikath SO1 and SO2 : Gothri and enchanced Mandarin Sabres (the ones with *three* Particle Cannons) WC3 : Vaktoth and K'ha'haf WC4 : Bearcat. I found Excaliburs surprisingly easy to take down as long as you don't get shot...

You misunderstood me. I was saying that, had I played SWC, I might have picked an SWC quote (like Iceman's "That was for Vega 9"). However, I've yet to hear any of those quotes, and so I thought that among the remaining quotes (the non-SWC ones), "I hear my mom calling" from WC2 struck me as...

"Mon Dieu! You are the traitor!" - WC2 Angel Also, every single line by Panther in the French version of WC4 is a pain to hear. They just picked the wrong voice actress. It's almost enough to make me want to turn the sound off whenever she says something. But hey, Eisen is every bit as...

That's probably because enemies in WC2 change their attack behavior a lot depending on your speed. Once you find the most efficient ship speed setting for this fight, you can beat them fairly easily without afterburners. Same goes for Thrakhath, actually.

Favorite - Swarmer AB, WCSO. It's just really pretty. Worst - I like 'em all. But it's true that the WC4 HS was fairly useless. :p

Hmm. I've just found something interesting. It's possible to move around a bit without losing the torpedo lock, so you can dodge the AMG shots by afterburnering toward the Fralthra for a very short time (basically, just hit Tab and release it immediately) (the Fralthra must *not* be right in the...

Well, yeah. The fight against the four Gothris is mostly skill, but the fight against the two Fralthra is mostly luck. It's especially obvious with your wingmen's behavior : sometimes they'll manage to miraculously destroy one (or very rarely, both) Fralthra, and sometimes they'll just eject...

Wing Commander 1 : Agreed, the branching paths in the original game are awesome. Also, being able to fly a Kilrathi fighter in SM2! Oh, and Jotunheim 3 from SM1, for being so epic (possibly more so than SM1's final mission, where you can just destroy the Sivar and run away). And that SM2 mission...

Maybe he let the Mantas escape on purpose? After all, The Unwelcome is one of the most epic battles in the WC universe... Anyway, if you quickly take out a Devil Ray or two, it's not that hard. Then you can either help your allies kill the Orca or focus on shooting down the Capship Missiles...

Speaking of ship counts, will the Firekka have to use her remaining Stilettos and Gladii in Episode 5? I would hate to get stuck in the Luyten path because I lost too many Gladii in Back Route to Sirius (I believe I only have 6 Gladii left right now). And by the way, it definetely looks like...

In Episode 2's fourth mission, if you head back to the Firekka after the first Nav Point, you will always lose a Gladius (no ships will blow up, but the game will substract one from the Gladius count). See Henderson's report right after the mission. Odd, huh? Not really a major bug, but I...

Really great update. Is it just me, or are the last two screenshots from a FMV briefing? :D

Thanks! I'll go for the French version then. After all, I can't see why a translation would need heavy engine-editing, so HCl's patch will probably work. By the way, since we aren't the only ones who think that Starvector isn't that good (it has gotten quite a bit of negative feedback over...

As some of you know, I bought Prophecy from Starvector a while ago, but it turned out that unlike advertised, Starvector *didn't* have any copies of Prophecy in stock, so now I have to buy it for real. I know my father would like to see Prophecy's cutscenes, but he doesn't speak English, so...

The first WC game I played was WC2, and I was very young. I don't think I got very far. When I was around 12-13 years old, I played WC3 a lot... With invincibility. The WC game that really convinced me to go back and give all of the WC games a try was Standoff. It was the first WC game I...
