And the second half of episode 2. I should have episode 3 knocked over by the end of the week and then I'll be back on track. Ella 4: With the Cerberus nicely stocked up from Ella starbase, it's time to move out, but before we can go we need to make sure that Ella is well protected. Confed...

I have strayed a little from the cause. Finally managed to finish off Battle Isle 2 last week after having owned the game for a decade and a half at least. Ella 1: The crew are a little shaken as we jump into the Ella system, with Maestro boozing it up, Zero worrying and Spyder and...

Hmmm, much shorter journals this time around but the missions are much more intense. I'm going to have a lot more kills before this is over. Courage 1: The Midway is just pulling into the Sol system for some well deserved celebrations when the word comes down from on high, Stilletto...

I hope your game went better than the test match against the South Africans :( Now on to some happier scores. I had 466 kills going into the last mission and scored a massive 64 (!) before the mission's end. Admittedly that's counting in my own head but I tried to be conservative to keep the...

I finally catch up in time for things to end. The last mission features odds that make it almost a challenge in the Vampire but not quite. For the comple lack of fanfare it sure is once hell of a super ship! Kilrah 3: With the alien dreadnaught making it's presence felt, it's time the...

And I'm finally caught back up! Kilrah 2 makes for a nice refreshing change. Any mission in the Vampire almost seems too easy. H'Rissith 4: With the data on the Ship Killer at hand, we need to launch an assault to take it out before it can fire on the Midway. I'll be leading a group of...

I'm making a point of selecting all the Devastator missions when given the chance as I know that I tend to pick the Vampire otherwise. Plus, I get to watch all those cap ships blow up. G'Mar 1: Now that we've retaken the T'Lan Meth system, the Midway is going on the offensive. Our first...

Slowly but surely catching up. T'Lan Meth 6: I decide to confront Hawk about this behaviour following my decision not to attack the Kilrathi. He's extraordinarily hostile to my attempts to talk to him accusing me of assisting terrorists. I decide to try another tack and point out that the...

*Phew* This is quite a long series. At least I'm starting to catch up on things. T'Lan Meth 1: With the party well in the past, I enter the briefing room as the Midway jumps into the T'Lan Meth system. A Kilrathi planet E'Loy as being blockaded by the aliens, but there's intense jamming...

It was definitely an engine hit, I watched it slowly track in with my finger twitching on the trigger. I think it only took the engine down to Yellow.

Things are back to normal, and I've finally managed to get some WC:P time in. I tried to get one of the other missions to trigger by letting a torpedo hit the Midway, but apparently it wasn't enough to change the script. I figure I'll just let things go as they fall. H'Hrass 1: I report...

Things are a bit more settled now, so I should be back on deck next week. Not sure how long it will take me to catch up, but I'm really looking forward to that fight against the Devil Ray in the Tigershark. Maybe for Privateer give everyone a week or two to build up their ship and then...

I'll definitely be late to this party. Brisbane's north was hit by a bad storm on Sunday. My house is okay, but my girlfriend's house is currently uninhabitable so there's all sorts of stuff to deal with at the moment.

Like DaveO, I managed to get on the optimal mission path, even though there was some engine damage on the Midway when I landed. I've also failed both bonus objectives this system :( I concentrate too much on the turrets, which are destroyed with the capship, anyway. G'wriss 1: I find...

Wow, I forgot how target-rich Prophecy is! I think I'm closing in on 50 kills already. H'rekkah 1: Maestro and I are making our way to our new home, the TCS Midway. We've been making a race out of it to help pass the time and I have the lead as we approach our destination. The Midway...

Aren't there monkey-like creatures on Kilrah that are considered quite a delicacy?

My point is that fins aren't needed in an atmosphere as you've already got a mechanism for steering: the thrust vectoring used to guide the missile through space. A decent fly-by-wire system will keep the missile stable in an atmosphere without needing fins. There probably are some...

Or those participating in the WC:P Replay ;) We should add a warning not to play Wing Commander at work, as well.

You've got to use thrust-vectoring to steer the missiles, anyway. Why bother attaching fins which only work in an atmosphere when you've already got something that works in both air and space?

I imagine it would be quite close, we've both flown the exact same campaigns, with only a few missions differnt. The only real difference would be how many kills our wingmen stole :)
