    Help listing all the Ion cannon based guns?

    Oh sorry, I trimmed it down to just one line...

    Help listing all the Ion cannon based guns?

    Do we have the actual written description of the Cloudburst somewhere, though? To see what sort of pseudoscience description they gave it, and whether the word 'ion' was mentioned?

    Help listing all the Ion cannon based guns?

    So, the full list in MAIN Wing Commander is: Ion Gun (Might be the same as Ionic Pulse Cannon) Heavy Ion Gun Heavy Ion Cannon (the capital ship based one) Reaper Gun Chain Ion Gun Scatter Gun Cloudbust Gun (maybe...) and we do know for sure that the Ion Cannon concept works equally well in...

    The fighters that you'd have liked to have stayed longer

    Well, as near as near as I can tell, my list would have a 'about half and half' new and old for each game... Wing Commander & Secret Missions 1/2: Arrow Scimitar Raptor Rapier II New Fighters: 4/4 Wing Commander II: Ferret Epee Or Stiletto Rapier II Strike Sabre Broadsword New Fighters...

    The Movie - Yeah, you hate it. But how would you fix it?

    Ya, I can tell you're tired! Reread the first few posts of the thread to see what they are actually asking for, and what they can actually do! ;)

    Help listing all the Ion cannon based guns?

    Wasn't the Cloud cannon based off of the Ion Cannon principle? What ship used the WC4 Heavy Ion Gun? And I guess the Scattergun is an ion-based gun too?

    The fighters that you'd have liked to have stayed longer

    ACK Can't edit my post! So the categories are, by the end of SO, something like: Dedicated Point Defense Interceptor - Wasp Light Fighter - Ferret (maybe Demon) Low Cost All Purpose Strike Fighter - Gladius Medium Space Superiority Fighter - Wraith Heavy Space Superiority / Strike fighter...

    The Movie - Yeah, you hate it. But how would you fix it?

    Well, I'd love to see a "Put everything in first, and then take stuff out piecemeal so it makes sense and actually makes a better movie" version. When might that be possible to buy?

    Help listing all the Ion cannon based guns?

    Hi there, can someone help me with ALL the guns that were based on the principal of the Ion Cannon, their stats and descriptions in the manuals, their stats in the gamefiles, from each game? I'm trying to track 'the evolution of the Ion Cannon' throughout Wing Commander Canon. Thanks!

    The fighters that you'd have liked to have stayed longer

    How thoroughly are we able to mess with canon / the designs of the ships / stuff like that in this? Cause if we are REALLY able to mess with things... I do have a writeup.... The WC1 Fighters... lets see. I'd change the Arrow to the wc1 fighter, make it some kind of crappy, not heinously fast...

    The Movie - Yeah, you hate it. But how would you fix it?

    So did anything ever come of this? I'd love to watch an "edited as much as possible to make it better" movie...

    What path is the most book-accurate?

    Well, I meant "what achieves the overall results that were in the book?" And what is the, uh, winningest way to get the "losing" episode 5 path? And what is the most safe way to get the middle ending? I was looking for specific mission advice...

    What path is the most book-accurate?

    Hi, I was wondering what the "closest to the events in Fleet Action" path is, and if there is a guide to playing the game most 'accurately'?

    Has anyone thought of upgrading wc3 and wc4 to the prophecy engine?

    I don't really WANT "exactly the same" as WC3. To me, the feel standoff / the vision engine is MUCH better than anything else I've seen in WC... while retaining enough of the 'old stuff' to still be worth it. I just want to see wc3-era things done the way wc2 was done to standoff/vision...

    Has anyone thought of upgrading wc3 and wc4 to the prophecy engine?

    Oh that's right, you can't do the land missions from WC3 and WC4 in the prophecy engine, can you? Well damn... I thought standoff did a GREAT job with all the WC2 feeling and mechanics in the prophecy engine, though, I just wanted to see the other stuff done that way... Especially cause I like...

    Arena For the PC?

    Uhm, there wasn't DRM back in the day? .... hey Origin guys, have any of you PLAYED the old versions Ultima without the manuals? Sure it might not be *D* RM, but by god they had some pretty crazy anti piracy stuff, and they definitely did appropriate anti piracy measures for the technology of...

    Has anyone thought of upgrading wc3 and wc4 to the prophecy engine?

    It seems fairly obvious to me... update, trim down, combine the media from the various versions of, say, wing commander 3, to play in the prophecy engine with better graphics, keeping the same basic mission structure, maybe with tweaks here and there... I've been playing Standoff, and have been...

    What standoff taught me (or: Confed are a bunch of morons!)

    Jutland Question

    There is a term for this, called "fanon". That is, "fan based concepts that people tend to agree on that isn't exactly canon but doesn't contradict it."
