I think the Origin FX theater looks prettier, but as Mekt-Hakkikt said, both are neat. :)

That reminds me that I'll have to finish my own project for Standoff's script... Once my little Kilrathi (read : kittens) calm down (if that ever happens :p ).

I use the Mace a lot in Outrun Ella. You really shouldn't have to worry about the whole "release the trigger when you want the Mace to blow up" thing. Just find the right range then fire the Mace like a DF. I find it much better than the WC2 Mace - with the WC4 Mace, I can easily destroy 3-4...

2) Hehe, well, one thing I can tell you is that is that when his ship is getting badly damaged, you should make sure to always hit him with full guns (don't miss!)... but even that may not be enough to prevent him from running away - so it can help to make him charge you from afar (hint : try...

I've been experimenting with WC2 these last few evenings... Basically, I'm mostly trying to figure out the AI's general behavior. I've found a few interesting things so far. 1) After experimenting a bit like I did, players will easily notice that enemies react very differently depending on...

Okay, something that's been nagging me for the last few days - that last post *was* a joke, right? We *are* going to fight Vatari? Or did you suddenly change your mind or decide that it would contradict FA's plot?

That would be interesting, especially since since we're going to fight Vatari. I hope they're going to be tough (though considering the fact that the engine's AI isn't all that good, the Gothri may still end up being the most dangerous due to that annoying rear turret).

Yes, apologies, I was of course talking about the fact that the Hakaga ended up not being all that hard to destroy in Episode 4. And the Standoff Rapier is truly one of the most powerful WC ships when it comes to dogfights. I'm sure that the Ep.5 Hakaga mission (the one where you escort the...

Hello, just dropping by (I'm working on getting a job and I don't have as much free time anymore). Just wondering - you said several times (in older threads) that the Hakaga mission ended up being too easy... While I think it's pretty difficult, it's indeed not the near-impossible mission it...

You do not lose SO1 if you play the "losing" version of the final mission... In SO2, on the other hand, you do lose the game if you fly the last patrol (after failing to kill Jazz). ;) By the way, I'm really sorry I couldn't keep posting in the replay threads. I've been really busy ,and it's...

Hmm. Maybe you need to make your ship less "targettable", say by moving around more. You really do need to make sure that aces never get on your tail. If you've got too many fighters chasing you, try afterburning, spinning around, afterburning past them, then spin around again and get on one's...

I think pretty much all of the WC games had great music... but I'm especially fond of Prince Thrakhath's theme from WC2.

1) Take out the aces as soon as possible, preferably with missiles or nukes (*cough*Mace*cough*). 2) Have your wingman (I recommend Hawk or Panther) go after the Longbows so you can take care of those nasty Hellcats/Bearcats. If you do this and practice a lot, you should eventually be able...

Well, the real problem might not be *entirely* DosBox-related, but it's hard to save the Ralari when you can't shoot more than one laser at once. :p There's a reason why I think it's at least partially computer-related : I've beaten Kurasawa 2 many times using the same tactics (save gun...

(I *think* I'll be able to finish the winning paths today, and I hope I can finish the losing paths as well. Hubble's Star 2 might prove to be exceedingly troublesome, though.) EDIT : Curses, looks like I won't even be able to get this far. DosBox is acting strangely on the computer I'm...

I thought a "fixer" in Privateer was someone who gave you a job...? Looks like we have some very different definitions here. :)

I once heard that someone had managed to "befriend" the Retros by shooting everything else for a pretty long time, but I've yet to try it, so I can't say for sure whether this is true or not.

Ah, thanks, I didn't know that. I did think it was a bit expensive, but when I saw the chance to buy Prophecy, I took it without question. :) (Come to think of it, I forgot about Privateer 2 - I'll have to save some money for that one as well.)

Fine. If you think that's better, I'll try to wait. :) (I did play through Secret Ops, so I don't think I'll actually need a very long time to understand Prophecy's engine, but you never know.) Playing Armada with the keyboard doesn't work too well for me (translation : I suck), and I...

Allow me express my happiness I have just bought a copy of Wing Commander : Prophecy from Starvector (for approximately $69, shipping costs included). Only two more to go (Academy and Arena). Oh, and possibly the English version of WC4. And a joystick so I can actually play Armada. :D I...
