    Definition of "GOOD DEAL"...

    A friend of mine gave me End Run to read. It was in decent condition when I got it 4 years ago. I hope that he doesn't want it back. Then again, he has my copy of WC III. Oh well.

    Kilrathi Ship Design

    I wonder how long it took the Kilrathi to figure out that they needed to make fighters symetrical for atmospheric flight. Or maybe they were under the same assumption as the people who built Space Shuttle; "Put large engines on anything and it will fly." said a NASA engineer. :)

    The Sanski Thing

    Who was the BW Admiral who Blair took his orders from in WC IV? That might be the guy who LeHah is thinking about.

    WC1 era errors

    Question and maybe an explaination 1) The pilots in WCA TV never graduated from the Academy, so, they are still cadets. Did they transfer another flight wing onto the Claw after the cadets left? 2) At least in the present, a pilot gets a new callsign when he is assigned to a new ship or...

    The Sanski Thing

    Dumb question. Was Admiral Wilson the commander of Pegasus? And secondly, how does Sansky play into that plot?

    chief warrant officer = officer?

    IIRC, the Army is that only US branch that still employs warrent officers. Warrent Officers are not Commission through the Academy, ROTC or OCS. However, they are of higher rank that any enlisted. The Army uses them mostly to fly helicopters.

    Why did you pick your name?

    My nick, it is a small bastardazation of the name of my favorite animal. For my whole life I have loved wolves. When I started playing Wing Commander and other flight sims, I decided that I would use a callsign that had to do with wolves. I chose to name myself after the after the gray...

    The Sanski Thing

    Ok, I haven't read the novelization, so I must have missed this part in the movie. But when does this whole traitor thing show up?

    Kilrathi Ship Design

    That is probably the case for WC I/II, but why are the Dralthi IV, Vaktoth and the Fralthi II of WC III/IV/P vintage still symetrical?

    gotta be WCTV

    Or maybe even the Cartoon Network. Other that the Anime that they show and Dexter's Laboratory, most of the other cartoon suck pretty badly. YOU would think that something like WCA TV, that could become a GOOD "original" series would appeal to them.

    Kilrathi Ship Design

    I remember reading somewhere that the Kilrathi prefer to build ships that are asymetrical. There are a couple of their designs that support this view. However, it looks as if a greater amount of their ships hare symetrical. I am not sure if I was mistaken and I didn't read that, or was...

    Colonel Halcyon

    I don't believe that Hawk ever had command of even a squadron. He was a BW Colonel that was on the Midway on a cross over program. Any other Colonel could have been commanding a wing somewhere. I am not sure, but I believe that he was a full Colonel, but I could be wrong.

    Vesuvius-class or St. Helens-class?

    Does the numbering system for carriers reset as a new class comes online? Is there a #1 for each class that has a hull number of 01, or does the hull number reflect the number that the carrier is in the whole carrier picture?

    WC IV Story Book

    I was looking through my different WC references today and I came across something that I had not noticed before. In the story book that comes with Wing Commander IV, I noticed a mistake. Placed in the story, there are little boxes that that show the different ships and weapons that are in the...

    Secret Ops: Powergaming?

    If you remember from the WC Movie, Cap Ships can run faster than fighters. The Snakier at the end was moving a good deal faster than Blair was.
