What do you mean 'Blair young thing? in '54 Blair was (or should've been) 24 years old. And I reckon Freddie looks to be in his early 20's. The characters of WC do age keep in mind. The signifigance of Flash thinking he's better than Blair is because....Blair got older. The big deal about...

I was disapointed when the scene with Quinn, Wade, Rembrandt and Proffesor Arturo disapearing into something resembling a jump-hole got cut from the movie. But on a more serious note, asking if somebody shows up here, complaining that he hasn't released a WC game since 1996 (while hoping that...

Couldn't fighter ribbons be done by adding a simple bit of Java into the scoreboard website instead of straight from the Standoff program? It already shows the pilot, score and ship used to get it, why not a little Javascript telling it to display fighter qualification ribbons for specific ships...

What would be cool is to have extra medals WC1 style - so many quick kills in a row could earn you the silver star. Likewise we can see who bothers to eject in the sim by giving out bronze suns. That or a system where players can challenge others on the board to duels finally sorting out whos...

Full power to frontal shields? ;) But seriously how about a couple of shield flares where the 2 Dralthi are giving it to the poor ship? And the jump point.....brighter and smaller (or a bit further away) in my opinion - it kinda looks like a big dark blue blob of jelly but that might just be...

That's some damn professional work from everybody involved in Standoff :) Must say the little details make all the difference - Lynch Cola to the copy of Fleet Action on the table (poor pilots shoulda seen this comming!) Especially the background music throughout all 3 chapters. The cutscenes...

Ok then just thought I'd speak up about it which reminds me, on the flight deck for the strike mission where I choose between flying the Rapier or Gladius it has the option to return to the rec room, but from the rec room it says 'return to launch deck' but doesn't let me, only reloads the rec...

OK first congrats on releasing episode 3, with global rankings to boot! Thats one way to make sure pilots log time in the sim eh? ;) Now onto my point. Not sure if you lot or anybody else has noticed but sometimes in the Kitty Gauntlet I'm flying against Sartha that show up in my VDU with...

It's not much different from the PC version (except of course the lack of FMV's) but I'd buy it if only for the sake of bringing the collection that one step closer to being complete. That and playin it over the link's not a bad way to spend time with your mates. As for how I'd go about a WC...

My memory might be playin tricks on me but doesn't Victory Streak briefly mention some bases with the prefix TCN? Either way the games and movie don't really use any designation so I'd just name the thing 'so-and-so' shipyards

My apples are far superior to your oranges! I found the speeds and guns needed a little getting used to, nothing more. Only real quipe about the guns is the convergence range for the Gladius's lasers, crossing over a further distances. Still, can't wait till Episode 3 comes out :)

Heres my sketched idea for a basic WC:Pioneer turret. Influenced by WC1/2 cockpits and WW2 bomber turrets, with guns inside the turret over the gunners shoulders and a large-ish window and a small radar to hopefully give it a more civillian feel. Apologies for the shitty scan :(

Merry Christmas people and peace be upon your homes.

Genetic research (cloning, DNA therapy and such) is one of those awkward sciences to grasp because of all the politics, theology, morality and such sticking their collective noses in and holding it back. Sure it's immoral to tweak the genes of a creature to make something new or to clone a human...

We are still talking about the same USSR that Stalin ruled over right? I'm sure man-keys (a fitting name i should think) would have an excellent future in politics.

Heh I was reading something 'bout that on ninemsn last night. Can't see how a monkey is insensitive to pain though.

Just make sure people understand its a story and not an emergency transmition in case of alien invasion.

Thats probably why she's lonely.

Perhaps such luxury for a 'sport could be like a reward ship or make certain cargo types available? (bunch of richies that wanna get from point A to point B, for example, want to make sure they've got the best gun in the sector AND do it in style for example) but its not really for me to say...

Cool i'll DL it later but i wasn't referring to the sim missions. Something like the loadout terminal blair uses before every mission in WC3/WC4 for the main campaign. Would make a good feature to attract mod makers if it could be turned on-off. (bit of code similar to the ship selection in the...
