Iceman all the way.

Concerning Mandarins when I was recently going through the videos in WC4 I noticed something weird. In one of the losing videos where Blair is apprehended by Confed, Paulsen says they never had to deal with traitors during the Kilrahti war.

I don't really consider the screenshots all that big of a problem. Wouldn't be the first time when pre-release shots from an unfinished game are used in the back of the box. The elusive cloaking device from Star Control 2 springs to mind.

Well, the person who got his hands on the box had this to say:

Personally I'd sooner see the AI and physics model closer to original than prettier models. I'll just shut my non-productive trap now. I do understand that's hard to do without having a source code to pick apart.

There are plenty of mentions of flight recorders in Wing Commander games.

Lookie here: http://www.imaginationoverdrive.com/ultima.htm And this is the discussion where it surfaced: http://www.shiftedphase.com/dino/ultima/forum/index.php?topic=Pagan:_Ultima_VIII:_The_Lost_Vale_BOX Apparently there are plans to put it up for auction soon.

What's the worst possible outcome? The one where command tells you to "Take the red pill and go to sleep."

Plenty of guns in Wing Commander 4. This handgun is seen aplenty, among other things carried by Vagabond in his last stand and Blair infiltrating the Black Lance base. It fires a blue bolt of energy. This seems to be the standard rifle of the Confederation forces. It is carried by the...

Huh, I honestly didn't notice how the text and picture work together. I'd pull up some picture of the guns in WC4 but for some reason the Wing Commander movie player refuses to work with my DVD.

Would this be the classic sidearm Loaf mentioned?

"Hey Blair, that guy looks kinda like-" "Shut up."

Wing Commander 1 for Amiga.

Maybe the earlier models had more inefficient ramscoops which could collect fuel only slightly slower than it was consumed.

Not to mention a handy explanation for why they don't move according to Newtonian physics in a vacuum.

Where exactly does the information about the PTC's firing time come from? Paladin says in Secret Missions that according to the boys as tactical they'd be out of range by the time they've done priming it, but that's all I've found out. Is the Tiger's Claw fast enough to get out of range in mere...

Couldn't you use a method similar to what mass spectrometers use to separate the elements? Though probably that alone would use up more power than what you gain.

I have no idea what happened, but suddenly when playing Gemini Gold, during flight the game suddenly froze in part. The view of space is completely black, and since I am using the mouse for control the pointer leaves behind a trail. Pressing the button I get the firing sound and the weapon...

I actually saw the movie just a week ago for the first time when it was on TV here. Not nearly as bad as I expected, but nothing great either. The Kilrathi worked well as long as they were shown just as dark silhouettes. Try as I might, I can't get over how weird the Rapiers looked. While I am...

Am I being delusional, or are the enemies capable of firing their lasers more rapidly than those on my poor Tarsus? It sure sounds like it!
