IIRC, we always played it with the submarine being only 1 square...

Yeah but basically, all "strategy" in the game is psychological, in the placement of the ships and shooting them down. e.g. you could think its best for ships to be parked at the edge, but do it once and the next time your opponent might check there first... Apart from "psychological warfare"...

Nice! Downloading... :D

"Academy" was the one that let you make your own missions and in "Armada" you could fly Kilrathi fighters, is that right?

That epic story that is told in the small boxes in the original "Claw Marks" manual.

Any particular date/time you would suggest? Of course I don't really have much to talk about (basically I've written everything in the post above), but I can go and try to reproduce that stuff a couple of times and try noting down any "patterns" in the time until our chat... But with the...

Oh yes, some people propably still remember with Wing Commander 1, you had to make sure you'd have enough free memory to finally see the "Full Music will play." message at the startup of the game... And you also needed a 386 to see the moving joystick and pilot portraits (when they communicate...

Okay, it's a little strange. I don't know if any of you have seen the Let's Play series by "BCS Buster" on Youtube. If I recall correctly, the only enemies he ever leeched in the entire game were Vaktoths. (Maybe 1 or 2 Ekapshi too at some point) He packed some Leech missiles for every mission...

I've now been playing Standoff (mainly the Simulator though, I'll catch up with the campagin soon enough, no worries) for quite a while, and I'm overall very pleased and excited about this mod. Also I had the thought that many a commercial games would have crashed dozens of times already and had...

Sorry, I'm at a loss. Wikipedia tells me you're talking about the Honorverse series, which I do not know, yet, although it sounds interesting. Are you suggesting, both WC2SO2 and that Voyager episode may be referencing Honorverse there? Or are you merely stating that you'd chalk it up as...

Propably there are some people here who know Star Trek: Voyager, and recently I noticed this: In the Voyager episode "Equinox", the starship Voyager - in case you did not know, they're stranded far out in the delta quadrant, cut off from Starfleet, and are basically trying to get back home -...

That one guy on Youtube seems to have a very clear tactic against Vaktoth, I'm surprised it hasn't been mentioned yet: Leech them. (Please consider that the following stuff is not based on own experience but only what I've seen in the videos) Try to hit them with leech missiles on their first...

No. Answer: Tropes are not (generally) a bad thing. He does not critizise sound in space like it is used in almost all sci-fi - that "loudest spacefighters I ever heard" in the beginning is obviously a joke to be taken lightly, not a serious complaint - but he only critizises when it goes too...

I agree with that. Usually, it's the fans themselves who are the best at poking fun at "their" franchise. Look at Star Trek, there are lots of parodies out there, but the best parodies are made by people obviously very familiar with the Star Trek universe and who are "die-hard" Star Trek fans...

He's put up an additional "Commentary" video to his review. He talks more about the Wing Commander series and how he got into a preview screening of the Wing Commander movie.

A while back I had success in trying to play Wing Commander III on Windows XP without DOSbox using VDMSound. It wasn't quite perfect, but it worked well enough - my PC was much too weak to achieve the necessary performance in DOSbox.

He also has got this "Quickie" on the Super Wing Commander intro. http://spoonyexperiment.com/2007/12/21/super-wing-commander-quickie/

Well, I think you're mixing up stuff a little... I think you mean German, English, Dutch and the Scandinavian Languages (minus Finnish) - those form a group and are quite similar in structure... Interestingly, English seems to be the most different from the others, especially if you eliminate...

Speaking of Kilrathi fighters... What about ejection systems? I always had the impression the Kilrathi fighters generally don't have one. As they prefer to die in combat und seem to try to make their fighters (most of them) as "cheap" as possible I'd think they'd see it as a useless device...

What does that mean (in this context)?
