    Most memorable wc moment

    Sir, I remember vividly the first time I hit a fighter with a dumbfire missile, WC1 against a pair of overlapping Krant coming at me head-on, the first dodged it but the second blew to pieces. I don't think Wing Commander has ever again given me such satisfaction! KvK

    Difficulty of Standoff

    Sir, I'm forced to agree with Dyret, most of the time in the Gothri mission I'm too busy trying to hold my own ship together without worrying about the others. "Ah, a deadly blow...." KvK

    I feel like an idiot...

    Sir, This is why, on occasion, it isn't quite so good to have loved and lost rather than ne'er to have loved at all...! KvK

    Come on guys be honest with me here...

    Sir, I am also a bit dubious about where the franchise may or may not go post-Arena, but the amount of people whose jaws drop when I describe it to them must mean that EA are on to something with it. Just last week I told someone in the pub about it and his response was "f**king hell, I'm...

    Fighter Introduction Dates

    I got to wondering about displaying this graphically. I thought about time on the x-axis (obviously), then fighters (grouped by game-era or book-era) up the y-axis, then horizontal bars to show from and to when they served. That would look nice and neat - especially if the colours of the bars...

    New Saga Rapier!

    Sirs, The justification for the rarity of 'older' fighters in the WC3 timeline is usually the massive losses sustained by both sides in the Battle of Earth- Standoff era, especially on the Kilrathi side. Having said that, I will accept that there were Hellcats and Longbows etc. in the time...

    New Saga Rapier!

    If it's a "late war" Rapier it should still be Laser/Particle. Unless there is a Meson blaster or something; I went straight from WC2 to Saga without WC3 so am not familiar with all the post-WC2 weapons.

    WC's best fighter and bomber of all time

    Sir, You are very brave! If I lost either both my guns, shield generators, or my radar panel blew out (or a combination) I would always attempt to withdraw. That was the best thing about WC, dynamic campaigns. Halcyon always gave a sound bollocking to me afterwards, but I guess if my...

    New Saga Rapier!

    Sirs, I apologise to anyone my above post caused offence to. Let it be noted, however, that I think the response was a little overbearing.

    Best Wingman??

    Sir, Best: Jazz before he turned traitor, Hunter. Worst: Maniac for early ejecting, or Knight - who was just useless.

    Gladius gets the bad rap...

    Sir(s), In Standoff, I didn't much care for the Gladius to fly, but it was good for the story - the emails from the engineers saying that the Gladii "were not meant to take such a pounding", and the gradual ticking away of their numbers was really atmospheric. KvK

    New Saga Rapier!

    Sir, That Rapier is breathtaking, the best one to date. I have to admit I have a stomach-heaving adverse reaction to the awful humpbacked Super Wing Commander / Arena version. This is so, so much greater. Very good for you sir, well done! Regards, KvK

    Wrath of Khan

    Sir, A might be able to help a little with the damage point. If you watch the 'from the Bridge' shot of the Reliant firing its aft torpedo and hitting the Enterprise, you will notice that it follows an inverse arc, ie. appearing to drop and rise again as it closes - just reappearing at the...

    Graduated!

    Sir, The way college and Univeristy works in the UK is a little different, but I'm graduating with a Masters' Degree in International and European Human Rights Law in September. At least I will if my latest essays prove to be any good! KvK

    Fiction questions....

    Excellent sir. I hope the new material does not rule out my story by expanding canon 'in my direction'! Thanks, KvK

    Fiction questions....

    Sir(s), A couple of questions for the fan fiction I am writing; i) What is the Emperor's name? x nar Kiranka, presumably, but I am unable to find it referenced in my material. ii) What is the name of the planet around which K'Tithrak Mang orbits? During the engagement where Blair...
