    So...who EXACTLY are the 'Retros'?

    Wedge009 Is A Great Guy http://wedge009.net/wc/privateer/rfinformant.php This part is especially interesting. Informant: So I expected. But our interests may coincide for a little while. Let me tell you the story of Mordecai Jones. He was an unknown when he joined the Church of Man five...

    Wing Commander Replay Week 1

    :eek: I think my jaw just dropped to the floor. (I didn't know this replay would lead to fanfics... :D) (In other words, that's my way of saying that this was a really great post.)

    So...who EXACTLY are the 'Retros'?

    They apparently don't mind using technology to destroy technology. "Die by the very weapons you adore!" is one of the most famous Retro quotes.

    Wing Commander Replay Week 1

    Gateway 1 Afterburned through the asteroids as usual. I took all 4 Salthis without using any missiles. Facing Grathas in a Hornet is pretty tough - these things can take a lot of hits. I managed to get on a Gratha's tail, but I had to be careful since the other one was trying to shoot me from...

    Wing Commander Replay Week 1

    Usually I can't dispatch Bhurak because I play WC1 on a portable computer with a "fake" and fairly unefficient mouse. This time, however, I'm using a big computer with a real mouse, so it's a lot easier. :p By the way, if any of you feel like it, feel free to try to fully complete WC1's sim...

    Having a problem defending 'Dauntless'

    Yep. It was approximately five years ago. ;)

    What time frame would a new WC be in?

    I'd personally like them to give an ending to the Nephilim war... Believe it or not, while I find the Kilrathi more interesting as a species, I find that the Nephilim are more interesting as enemies. There's so much to be told about them... And they have that creepy "Last Judgement" godly...

    BREAKING NEWS: Rumors of New Wing Commander (January 27, 2008)

    It's About Time. :D Now, theoretically I can't play console games. But not being able to play 2 new WC games would be so frustrating that I might be able to find a way if I put my mind into it. Might.

    Wing Commander Replay Week 1

    Enyo 1 Hey, I get to fly one of my favorite ships. The cats are in for it now. I use the ultimate "afterburn past enemies, get on their tail and shoot" technique for both navpoints. I used a DF against a Dralthi because I felt like it. Oh, and I told Spirit to break and attack, of course. I...

    Other Confed Held Space?

    We need to see more Firekkans in-game. I've been fond of the giant birds ever since I played SM2 and read the WC2 Deluxe manual. I can understand why we haven't seen many Steltek so far (they don't really want anyone to find them, and their ships would be extremely unbalanced), but the...

    Epee fans

    Oh, I completely agree with you, Popsicle. The Epee can be fun to fly (especially in that WC2 distress call mission, which has one of the best dogfights in the game), I was just reviewing the Epee. For example, the Wraith is a much better ship than the Epee, but players who like big nasty tough...

    Explosions

    I love when that happens. :D I bet that not being able to do Seether's trick in WC4 was frustrating for many players.

    BWS status

    Then ignore RogueBanshee's posts and just read the replies. I actually learnt a few things. Also, elephants are *purple*, not pink. See? That wasn't so hard.

    BWS status

    Well, look at it the bright way. At least the many replies show some interesting facts about WC. It's good if you need to refresh your memory. (I wonder how long this thread can keep being somewhat interesting. I mean, it's bound to turn into a spam thread with obscure references to...

    Having a problem defending 'Dauntless'

    Unknown Enemy has no Skates, by the way. There should have been some, but the designers ran into some trouble along the way, and by the time they had it figured out, "everything seemed to work just fine". Off-topic : I've just beaten the first simulator mission with both the Squid and the...

    BWS status

    Gameplay-wise, I personally think WC4 doesn't do a very good job of making the BW fighters look bad. I'll take a Banshee over a Hellcat anytime. Even the Avenger has its good points (like the ultra-powerful guns). If Confed used junk like the Epee or the Scimitar during the Kilrathi war, then I...

    Most importantly, why didn't the Confederation use them [more often]? The Banshee and the Vindicator are pretty good... They even seem to outclass some Confed ships.

    Epee fans

    Time to replay WC2, then. :p The only real problem with the WC2 Epee is that you absolutely must do your best to avoid getting hit. Unfortunately, it's a big problem. With a bit of missile mangement and careful dogfighting, the Epee is flyable, but it's still pretty annoying.

    Standoff Dialogue Script

    Two more missions. :D 2668.220.0954 - Jump Point Run Briefing [Bradshaw] : We're gonna keep moving towards the jump point. It should be a short and easy ride. However, we are two hours behind schedule, and it's possible that the pirates are already aware of our approach. If there's a...
