I guess I'll kick things off. Ahhh! Another glorious week of Secret Missions that result in half the Kilrathi fleet disappearing. Especially since I'm playing the KS version with the FoF issues in the Dralthi Stealth Missions. Firekka 1: Things are nice and relaxed at the moment...

I couldn't help but remember the last mission of SO1 when I hit the two Fralthi. Fortunately, it wasn't quite as hard as that mission. I think it's the first time I've encountered multiple cap-ships at a single Nav point that weren't transports.

Oh, sweet irony. I post about everyone keeping up and then get a heavy week with little progress. Never mind, it's the weekend now so I've got time. I'm going to call this Valgard 1 to keep things simple. Not much to say here. The bar's closed, something big's coming up. Yep, definitely...

So, is anyone else keeping up with us?

I've got this week off from work, though I'm actually leaving to go to the beach on Wednesday. So, a bit of a push to get the week done, but I have the feeling I'll be left wanting more. Jotunheim 1: Another reference to Blair's usual. I wonder if the Hell's Kitchen has been invented yet...

Midgard 1: I wonder what Blair's regular is? I can't recall it being mentioned in the novels. It appears Shotglass knows what's happened now. Spirit and Hunter are both setting up later plot points, her fiance and Maniac's breakdown. There's a bit of a theme of not knowing what happened to...

Well, my play through of SM1 came to a quick halt when I realised it wouldn't just automagically grab my old pilot info. Off to the Readme.... Turns out it would show up as an option if I wasn't skipping straight to the .EXE's for Vista's compatibility stuff. Now to the game... Goddard 1...

Have you been playing Standoff much? I think it's raised the bar for a lot of us.

This isn't the first time, I caught it at 10am one Saturday morning. They're late with the broadcast, though.

That is freaking weird having SabreAce's Knight do the exact same thing mine did. You'd think they'd have coded"Don't play chicken with a Jalthi" into the AI routines. Venice 2: Shotglass is just as happy to hear that I killed Khaja as I am that I'm going to get another shot at Bhurak. Try...

Okay, on to Kurasawa: Kurasawa 1: Checked the killboard to discover that I've climbed my way to the top. This was almost a much less ramm-ey mission than my last trip out in a Rapier until Bossman turned towards me after a strafing run on a transport. Fortunately, it was the last transport...

For those with Ace Combat 6, is there much griping between controller players and joystick players? If there's bad blood between them, it may scare off EA from allowing us to bring our own joystick. It certainly won't stop me from buying the game, but I'd like to get some more use out of my...

I figured I'd type this one as I go. I just bought Mario Galaxy but Wing Commander is calling to me. Dakota 1: Those Drayman are tougher than they look. Fortunately. 2 Salthi took off straight for it, while the other two went after me. Sent Knight to take care of the ones after me as I...

Mine's doing the same under Vista, and sometimes the flash of taking a hit looks like the"ship jumping in" flash instead. I figure I just need to fiddle with some compatibility options.

Whee! Finished Prophecy so back to the beginning. Wow are things different. Enyo 1: There's just something about blowing up Dralithi that feels Wing Commander-ish. 1 took out one before Spirit rammed the second, didn't destroy either of them but I had to be careful in watching over her as...

I've got my Kilrathi Saga ready to go, but might be a little late to the party. I'm still on the Kilrah series in Prophecy.

Game Audio Player. I remember using it to extract a retro taunt to use as the SMS tone on my phone.

I'm torn here. I loved the designs of the WC2 ships, especially the Sabre and Concordia, but I also loved Armada's weapon and shield effects.

Enough H2S could render a planet uninhabitable in much the same way.

I often found that the Phantom's fast firing guns tended to have a psychological effect greater than their actual effect. Opponents would tend to break away when you pounded them, thinking they were actually taking damage. Didn't work on the AI, of course, but it did pretty well in modem and...
