Well, it is still better than a Frenchman trying to play a Scot.

For the most part, the old fighters have been replaced. But these fighters are by no means obsolete. IIRC, the newer fighters were being place into squadrons and put online when available. It takes a while to replace an entire fleet. Also, the fighters that you fight with in SO are either...

IIRC, when Prophecy first came out, it was listed at $49.99

Yes, it would be impossible to "dead stick" a carrier, all carriers have a manual feature in their navigation system. This allows the helmsman to control the carrier's attitude with minor computer aide. This is a backup feature that is built into the system in the event of electical failure.

I remember in WC IV when they described the effect of the Flashpak. IIRC, They said that it superheats the atmosphere inside the hull, basically turning the inside into an inferno. Does this mean that a fire destroys the ship? I know that it kills everyone inside, but does it actually do...

No wonder why the WCM Tiger's Claw pilots were such bad dogfighters. Pilots become to reliant on missiles and forget how to fly.

If you notice, none of the ships from CIS resemble any Confed craft.

WC I- Fav - Dralthi Least - Jalthi WC II - Fav - Sartha Least - Gorthi WC III - Fav - Paktahn (I love shooting down bombers) Least - Bloodfang WC IV - Fav - Banshee (when your not flying them) Least - Dragons WC P - Fav - Lamprey Least -...

It didn't matter what order of classes that my high school did the classes in. The classes were too easy and in no way prepared me for college. Oh well, had to learn quickly.

I just tried to log in with Netscape and it wouldn't let me in either. And for a change, I actually have something in there to read. Oh well.

I would say read Freedom Flight first. It gives you that bridge between WC I and WC II. And it gets you into the heads of the characters in WC a bit more.

I think that Paul Hogan of Crocodile Dundee fame would make a funny Hunter. The one in the movie was way to serious. I remember Hunter as a light hearted guy from the games and the books.

I am not too privy to the fiscal information on the WC novels. Did they not sell well?

Are you thinking about Admiral Bainbridge? Because IIRC, Richards was described as a pretty active guy for his age which is just a couple of years older than Tolwyn.

Thanks for the information Penguin. My Dark Ages History is a bit on the rusty side. I only wish that my school had a class in Medieval History.

Didn't Tolwyn lose his family much earlier than that. I thought that his nephew Kevin was one of the few relatives that he had left.

This is why publishers are evil. If a publisher and a lawyer were to get married, a devil child would be the offspring.

So Tolwyn prevented one war. And then later decided that Confed needed another one. Gotcha.

I wonder if the publishers know what kind of following that Wing Commander has.

Well this makes sense. Tolwyn prevent a coup by trying to causing a war. Anyone else see a problem with this?
