Nomad: Great Icon-Set! Is it okay, if I post them over at shotglass.de? =)

Mhmmm, what happened to the DVD release? I can't find that new cover anywhere and the DVD is still just listed in Canada.

SOTS2 has a mp-mode, but I would wait a few weeks. They did a horrible release with a lot of bugs. I did not really get my head around SOTS1 yet, but I will evantually. I will call you up then :).

That's a good sign. If the Concordia crashed into you, you must be Vespus. And that planet is still there and attracts attractive French women :). Get well soon, will you? =)

Yes, but don't get me wrong. There are some parallels: Paladin is now brown-haired, Tolwyn does not like Blair, though he liked him in WC2, all ships are replaced/different, the Kilrathi look "different", Hobbes is a different character altogether. If WC3 was a mediocre or bad game, or the story...

I should have been more specific: I meant original WC2 characters. I didn't count Angel, Paladin, Maniac, as they were introduced in Wing 1. Thrakath is a point, though :).

I would love to hear more about that "WC2 ist not a Chris Roberts project". WC2 is my favourite as well and I thought, it was a brilliant sequel to the first one, as it was doing almost everything right. But now that you (Loaf) mention it: SM1/2 are excellent bridges to WC2, but SO1/2 didn't...

I won't be able to attend, I am not at home this time =/. Will anyone send me a summary, so that I can sum things up for the German Community on Sunday?

The CIC does have the WC1 and WC3 source code. The lost art source (or movie source in that case) is indeed a problem. Bottom line: It would be a lot of work. The PSP-Version of Wing Commander is just the SNES-Version emulated, as far as I know.

Yes and no ;). Since both the WC1 and WC3 code is most likely written in C or C++ (as seen in the two source code screnshots), it could be easily ported to other systems as well. The main question is: how much Dos-specific hacks are included in the code. The problem with the PS2 to PS3 code...

IMO, that would be a risky choice. Although we would find that very interesting, the "normal" WC-gamer would want a WC with Maniac and Blair in it. It would be a nice thing for a possible second game, but I think it's too risky for a comeback game. I would buy it, though!

What a great way to finish the first wave of EA-Classics!

The K'tithrak Mang-operation is after SM and ends right before WC2. But I don't really know, if this would fit. I recently played the new Mortal Kombat, which retells the story of the first three Mortal Kombats. That worked pretty well, but on the other hand, MK never had a complex story with...

Was StarLancer supposed to be a WCM-game? (I really loved the gameplay of StarLancer...the InFlight was great!) I think it's safe to say, that this project here is past the EA-licensing-phase. He wouldn't call it Wing Commander or describe it as Wing Commander if EA said "no" already. Or am I...

Is anything known regarding the region code?

I can honestly just say something like this: SAHIKFHAIUSGHFIulabsfiuabfilSFIALBFIBFSLAbfialsbfisalf! Or: Wow!

German subtitles would be great ;). Anyway, I am hoping to organize a community order for the German community with your help :).

Cybermage Day hooray!

Expansions are not included, though the text implies otherwise (for WC1 at least). I don't even know, if the Speech Pack is included in WC2.

Sol Exodus will be using the Unreal Engine 3 as well and it will be a Space-Sim. "Engine" does not necessarily mean, that you have to do games like the first game using it. Look at the gamebryo-engine :). I like to stress the fact, that EA is willingly "lending" its IPs to other developers...
