If the pilots are named and appear in cutscenes, they will always eject instead of dying. However, if those are just "Broadswords" with no specific pilots they propably will just explode. There won't be a funeral scene, and it won't matter for later missions. Think of them as "Redshirts"...

In the target VDU it shows the shield status as a bunch of curved, colored lines in front of and behind the ship in the display. It goes from 3 green lines to 2 yellow lines to 1 red line to no lines at all.

Why was it banned?

Why?

That's not what I meant. Yes there are scenes in Eisen's Cabin. But only at certain times. The other locations there usually always is something/someone...

However, programming the AI so that it works convincingly in combination with cloaking devices seems to be hard... Often you see that either the AI just "ignores the cloak", meaning it can see and shoot you perfectly while you are cloaked... or, the other extreme being, the AI completely...

I agree. However, "mainstream audiences" tend to care a lot more about stuff like that, and whine about being it "too ugly to even look at" and similar things...

Maybe because the CGI effects, though propably innovative for the time, haven't aged well at all. "Looks like a videogame"...

Maybe what you see in Prophecy is the debris falling "back together"? This propably would be inevitable.

To provide my two cents, a USS Agamemnon is also mentioned in a Star Trek episode.

Yes, thanks!

Everything is back to normal now. Haven't even started Standoff since I typed that above message. Whom do I have to thank for correcting the error, or did it somehow work out by itself?

If someone were to put the effort to try and retrieve the reconstruct a PC source code, they'd propably like to get copy of that, it may be of great help, in combination with disassembling/decompiling tools mentioned above.

Well... https://www.wcnews.com/standoffscores/pilot.php?id=7285 ...see? I haven't looked at it for some time, but I remember there was a valid percentage before. I haven't flown "The Blockade Run" since. Maybe, if I did that, it would correct itself? However, I'll refrain from doing that until...

Are you me? :D

Easy: Why would you "go" there when there's nothing for you to do? Sure, you would take a look the first time you play the game, but once you know there's nothing there, that's it. Even in Wing Commander 4 there are no "empty locations", every place you can go has something for you (with the...

Oh, thanks for clearing that up... When I was younger I always had a SoundBlaster card, and on that the music sounded very similar to how it sounds in Kilrathi Saga. I always figured that's the way it's supposed to sound as Wing Commander was known as a "killer app" for SoundBlaster... but when...

Speaking of the Wing Commander 1 Theme, there seem to be two "schools of thought" how it is supposed to sound. The difference is which instrument/track is dominant playing in the foreground. Compare the music in Kilrathi Saga and the one from that Team Fat album that was in the news a few days...

These sound as if there was some kitbashing going on, which is quite common for "massive fleet pictures" like this... on the other hand, weren't those sequences all computer rendered, instead of made out of actual models? Still, even for 3D models they could have used a kitbashing-approach to...

He kinda changed from Dr. House to Space-Hitler ;)
