No, that's why we need OSI to give us better AI. CB: What's AI? And is there a Wing Commander Acronym webpage? First, you're missing the main reason. It would be just to damn expensive to place a cloaking device on a missile used against fighters. And you can't just go and make the...

RE: to some messages below If you're just one marine, surrouned by a hundred cats, one of them will get you eventually. Besides, if a ship is boarded, weapons should be given out to the crew, so claws wouldn't be the only thing.. CB: You've never seen me shoot before -- when they see 50 of...

RE: To Earthworm's message below That's what the standard turrets are for... They're just not good at it. CB: Exactly, which is why we need dozens of multi-barreled pulse laser guns in a fast rotating turret (the sizes of these laser guns would be like the sizes of hand-held laser pistols...

Could you all list your ideas for new WC games as replies to this message? I've got some ideas: 1. Point defense scatter lasers to shoot down missiles. 2. Torpedoes with gum like warheads -- they stick onto the targeted unit to reduce the ability of guns in the location hit to...

Re; To Penguin Penguin: And those Hakaga supercarriers even more so. Exactly how would the marines get past those carriers' fighters, escorts and point defences? Don't you think the Kilrathi would self destruct the ships before they could be captured? CB: Simple, with luck and fighter...

To Penguin's last message Actually, I was thinking in the bombing run for Kilrah, there could be more fighters in addition to the Pakthans, Darkets, Hobbes, Thrak, etc.. Putting the game on nightmare setting and just using the fighters originally programmed is in my opinion (even though I beat...

Blast Radius has much better capital ships Blast Radius is a Sony PlayStation game -- it has much better capital ships. They're ALOT MORE challenging than Wing Commander. Origins should make their capships like them. Blast Radius capships have more guns and they don't take long at all to...

Refraining from desroying capships And another thing: In WC IV, anytime I could pilot a fighter to leech a foe, I did. I leeched any fighter that could've been leeched. I wanted to capture as many fighters and capships in the game as I could. I do think that leeching in the WC IV is too...

How do the leech missiles work? Do they, when they impact, emit some kind of high voltage electric bolt that shorts out circuits or what? If that's the case, leeches should be ineffective against asteroid like ships (or at least their non-aft locations) since their rock surfaces would insulate...

Multiplayer WC I think there should be some multiplayer action. That way you could get like 8 players (each controlling a pilot of the Victory) in WC III. This would be great especially for the bombing run on Kilrah. Have like 8 Exacliburs go after Thrakhath and Hobbes and the escorting...

RE: Capships should never be destroyed I agree that capships should be captured as much as possible. When a capship is captured, it makes the commander that previously was in charge of it look stupid, humiliated, reckless and perhaps traitorous. Let's say that during the Battle for Earth...

In reply to Quarto I think this WC character is the Warrior King because, 1, each of those episodes of the different shows was aired on the same day, 2, each episode contained a medieval like character that looked, sounded, and moved identical, 3, each episode contained a guy chasing what...

RE: Quartro's message The Warrior King starts out in the episode of Street Fighter entitled "The Warrior King". His homeoworld's Orb is sent through a tunnel to Earth (where the Street Fighters live). He follows it. Later that Orb goes through another tunnel to where it lands up on another...

Penguin: Maybe because people in the 1990s wouldn't believe them. Or maybe because people in the 1990s would say "Screw it! Let future generations worry about it." Or maybe Confed was afraid that indiscriminate time travel might set in motion events that would prevent the formation of the...

Bandit: Only Blair, Maniac and Archer knew about the orb, though -- presumably they didn't tell anyone else. me: Well, Tolwyn did say in the episode "a unique ozone layer that blocks out ultraviolet light". Also, the Warrior King (when he was in the Tiger Claw's Brig) did state he was...

In the Wing Commander Academy TV series, there was an episode entitled "Recreation". The Tiger's Claw under command of Geoff Tolwyn stops at a planet called Oasis. Later the Warrior King (who was played by Michael Dorn) wanted to retrieve his Orb located on Oasis. The Orb is half meter...

The discussion on decoys in WC A decoy is designed to: to get something to go to that decoy. There are several kinds of decoys. The decoys used in WC are primarily designed to simulate infrared signatures of engines. The ideal decoy would have the following characteristics: *Compressible...

I was thinking -- let's reinact the Battle For Earth using water guns. We could build Kilrathi & ConFederation battlewagons out of cardboard armor & plastic shielding and mount water gun turrets on them. We could also build those "Milk Jug Rafts" depicted in advertisements and mount our wagons...

Re: to steampunk I suppose you're correct in that the balls would cause the ship to move backwards (or rather forwards if the U ends were eventually rotated 180 degrees). I had hoped that the balls would provide sufficient momentum to shove the ship forward (much like another ship pushing a...

To: Penguin Well, you have to remember that in the Battle for Earth, Thrak's forces were superior to Tolwyn's forces (I estimate about 2.5 to 1).
