Doesn't matter, I think.

LOAF, you've just confirmed for me why the movie sucked so bad. None of it hangs together at all with anything else.

Something I'm seeing is the problem - and yes, I do mean problem - consoles present. 1. Devs can't regularly ignore the things. 2. They require proprietary dev tools. 3. This means that less code can be recycled between versions/projects, which increases costs. Also, it's such a task to...

The identity of C&C is more wrapped up in FMV. The original C&C was a massive showcase for good gaming FMV. Every C&C game bar Generals has used FMV extensively. WC, though, harks back to the lovingly-hand-drawn era of the 80s-90s. Where you saw damn good art as just the non-flight sections...

Yeah, but the original didn't have Newtonian physics. I think 4000m would "feel" right, personally.

You strange person. I say Entemann's little bites. Addicting.

Well, one thing to remember is that FMV is expensive. How much did WC3/WC4 cost? That trend is a goner. More likely, I think, is stuff a la Deus Ex, using game graphics instead of FMV Voice actors cost a lot less, for one thing.

Yes, the Greek myth of Tantalus seems appropriate. Got KS lately. Found would be a better word, I don't recall how or when I got it. OK. Some funky issues. FYI, I'm on WinXP. Thusfar, I've only tried WC1. I intend to play WC1, SM1, SM2, WC2, SO1, SO2 in order. WC3 I've not found yet...

Brad...A rule of thumb I have is that sarcasm does not travel over the net. Thus, we use emoticons often.:-P And, we keep that lack of travel in mind.

My random thoughts: 1. What would seem likely is that in the system where Sol sector connects to Gemini, there's a permanently stationed Confed garrison. This garrison need NOT include ships. As likely, in fact, is that Space Forces squadrons are stationed on strategically located planets...

Having initiated the 'Retros' term in my manifesto, LOAF, you should know I agree. It was something I introduced simply for shorthand, not in a derogatory manner. (I was looking for a quick way of referring to each side. Retros worked for the high-fidelity crowd at first glance. I...

Agreed. Chewbacca defense, here we come.

What a wonderfully contradictory thought process. It looks nothing like a Drayman, therefore it cannot be a Drayman, but the manual says its a Drayman, therefore it must be. That's a logical fallacy waiting to happen. If I were so foolish enough as to present it at school, I'd be clubbed...

Also, to back up my contention re the Priv Drayman. Look at the Drayman for Priv. Look at the Drayman for WC1. Look at the Transport for WC4. WC1 and Priv, despite sharing a name, look nothing similar. WC1 and WC4 look awfully similar.

Edit: See LOAF's last post. Shoulda quoted, stupid me. Of which appears often on Egyptian tombs such as in the Valley of the Kings. Image from Wikipedia is linked here. A distinct difference from any Human ship design we've *ever* seen. As, actually, was the Drayman of Priv 1, which...

TC= Terran Confederation = Confed

My first time...I got WC1 on a combined CD with Ultima 6 when I was...<thinks> 9. It was a 386, with a 2x CD-ROM. The tip of high-tech back then. I distinctly remember sucking, horribly, at it. It took years for me and my brother to actually win at the damn thing. But, we were hooked. So...

If you guys want to code this, then it's your problem.:-P That said, how I view the factions: FIRST TIER - The races. Confed (Humans) and Kilrathi. Mostly only useful for, say, keeping Kilrathi from flying Confed ships or Humans from flying Kilrathi ships. Confed: This is the 'higher...

Psst. Bandwidth caps.

It sounds good in theory, but would be totally impossible to code...At least for anybody not doing it professionally and being paid for it.
