    Who's honoring you now.

    I don't know how you've been keeping the updates coming, but all the things that make a good community forum are right here. Hopefully, I'm not the first to wish the CIC many more years of activity.

    Suggest a Movie!

    I believe an appropriate question would ask what types of movies you like and what you've seen already. There are the Miyazaki animated movies to give a start and Kung Fu Panda if you're in the mood for some goofiness. I just read your comment about streaming, so check to see if Fantastic Mr...

    Science and Fiction

    I believe the original poster was referring to the fate of planets in a star system. I doubt if Kilrah's sun(s) were of significant size and mass to eventually explode in a supernova. Supernova stars tend to blow up quickly with little time for life in the system to develop. Our sun is too small...

    How many Vesuvius class carriers were built?

    There's some clever shooting to make the player think there are more than 40 people in the scene where Blair lands at the Black Lance base. I hope it's not too much of a sidetrack to ask a best guess on how many of those uniforms are still around.

    How many Vesuvius class carriers were built?

    Thanks at least for the known ship names. I should have worded my question better since the names of the carriers fits better with what I wanted to know.

    How many Vesuvius class carriers were built?

    I know at least two or three with Prophecy: Secret Ops showing one getting destroyed by the Nephilim.

    New Benchmark in Fancy Joysticks Set (October 10, 2010)

    I can't see such high-end oriented joysticks getting many purchases, but I'm not the target market. I suppose if you're a flight-sim addict, such a purchase would be justified. I've not used my joystick for months, so the lower-end model I do have is useful for barely over a handful of titles.

    BREAKING NEWS: Is Wing Commander Poised To Make a Comeback? (September 28, 2010)

    It would be nice to see Wing Commander available for fans as downloads. Since WC1 thru WC3 all use DOS, those are the versions that would have a benefit from a configured DOSBox.

    Borderworlds Banshee (1/48 scale scratch built scale model)

    I think that's a very good job with a lot of detail put into the model. If you do another WC model, I'm sure you'll be just as successful and get good pointers from different resources.

    YouTube Partnership email scam?

    I checked it out, and it looks legitimate. I won't participate though since it means those videos would get advertisements added to them, and that smacks of selling out as well as an additional inconvenience to viewers.

    YouTube Partnership email scam?

    I recently received some emails in regards to the Wing Commander videos I have on my channel. I figure that the probability of a scam is pretty high, but I've pasted the email content below on the small chance the email is legitimate. From my Google searches thus far, this is very likely a scam...

    Spoony "reviews" Wing Commander

    Reviews are still too long, and he's lazy to boot. Proof of that accusation is with his Ultima retrospectives which takes material others have so that he can do his Nerd Rage(tm) videos.

    WCPedia: Kilrah Image Hunt

    I did not look extensively, but I found an approximate 3/4 view from the WC3 Intro. Since it's been quite some time since I looked over my videos on both my drive and YouTube, if anyone knows the cinematics well I could find the appropriate one.

    Wing Commander- Least Favorite game.

    I'd say the Secret Operations add-on for Prophecy. The add-on was an experiment before many people had internet speeds capable of downloading the game in a reasonable time frame.

    "Tolwyn"

    I do recall both Maniac and Blair using Toll-win on the WC3 and WC4 videos.

    Vampire Gripes

    The Vampire seems better in Secret Ops due to the gun weapon change. The only compliant would be the limited use for the MIRV missile. It's not a bad missile against Barracudas since they can't use decoys, but using the MIRV against anything else is a crap shoot.

    Most underrated fighter

    The Vindicator has the Stormfire weapon, so it's simpler to deal with enemy fighters. Without the Stormfire, the Pirahna in Prophecy would be of very limited use. Using the scatter weapon in the Banshee is a bit risky since you have to be closer than the laser gun range, and the scatter weapon...

    Most underrated fighter

    I'd say the Banshee from WC4 is a bit under-rated unless people find out about the scatter weapon.

    Starcraft 2 Released (July 27, 2010)

    Re: Starcraft 2 As previous posters have mentioned, you have to make a Battle-Net account to play single player. The tutorials are pretty simple, so you may want to skip them. Away from missions, it's pretty much a return to FMV with a LOT of interaction. During installation, they took a page...
