Thanks for clearing that up for me. I know next to nothing about programming. I just love the WC franchise- barring the movie of course. :p

Great Memories! I was in the eighth grade. My friend Charles Smart told me about this incredible game that he had bought for his home computer. I had him copy it, and took it home. I still can remember the goosebumps I felt when that first Hornet blew up the Dralithi. WOW what a game! It...

I just downloaded Vega Strike and played it last night. Thank you to all those responsible for this great game. However, the thought occured to me last night, why not update Privateer and Privateer 2 to run on Windows 95? I mean, we know old games can be upgraded for the Windows environment...

Excelsis, is Latin and it means "the Highest." I think it's pretty appropriate for being the best pilot in Confed. :D

Mpanty, If it took two minutes to read that story you must read pretty slow. :cool:

Shadow: Died defending the Concordia. In wc2 Spirit: Died crashing into the Heaven's Gate starbase, thereby destroying it. :(

Guys, I hate to burst your bubble but overlay or not, the Hobbes personality was very real. Remember in WC2 how upset he was when Downtown was killed. Also remember that it was Downtown that Hobbes saved as a child from the Kilrathi. I don't think we can just dismiss Hobbes as an instant...

The Tigers Claw was the best WC ship I thought. It looked much more menacing than the streamlined Concordia and Box shaped Rangers. Even the Vesuvius was just an enlarged Ranger. But the Tigers Claw was the most unique carrier in the game. It's weapons weren't th best but it never killed me...

Couple Questions: How will running contraband affect you in the game? Will the Confeds be able to "scan" your ship? Will your relations with Confed and other smugglers be saved? Will there be something like the Mission system in Privateer so you can select search and destroy missions and...

Sounds great to me! A+ idea and screenshots!

What I like most about the Wing Commander series was the total immersion experience. People talked to you, you got promoted or chewed out, depending on YOUR performance. Wing Commander let me become the "hero" especially at a time when my self esteem was pretty low. It also provided great...

Part of the thrill of playing the original privateer game is being able to put yourself into it. Will there be CGI characters to interact with? Or is this even doable? I know this would require voice overs and 3d modeled people. So it would be a lot of work. And who could forget insults...

I always thought that killing the drone was too easy in P1. I mean the dumb thing had chased you through countless sectors and battles. And you always had to run away. Then you get the upgrade to your gun and fifteen shots later, Bye,Bye drone. It should have had quicker regenerating shields...

Devil rays were the tough ones. Those fighters are fast and furious. Plus they usually just jumped in and started firing at you with no warning. I'd be locked on the tale of a Manta, getting ready to blast it, when all of a sudden the cockpit would flare and shake with a plasma blast from a...

I say for every three dozen cats you blow up, you should get promoted. By my count I ought to be ruling the Universe by now.

Who Knows? Maybe those other countries are smuggling Wing Commander Items out of the U.S. to sell on E-bay and keep their country going. 5-10 dollars can go a long way in some countries.

I can only guess at my lifetime kill totals. I've played every Wing Commander game I can find. (Except super wing commander, sorry MAC users) So including, Academy, Aramada, and both privateers, I would estimate, about 6-7 thousand. I've played them all more than a dozen times. I used to...

I just thank God the pink has finally gone away. Now the folks in the office won't tease me anymore. BTW, how do you get those faces in your posts?

I agree!!! Ditch this pink stuff, the people at my job here are beginning to talk.

I've played Star Craft Multiplayer, and Quake, and MP is boring. Big deal you find the guy or he finds you (quake) Big deal you build a base quicker than your opponent. (SC) The thing that made WC special was the plot. Who knew that Jazz was going to be a traitor? Who knew that Hobbes was a...
