Hey, anyone care to take a shot at what that display thing is indicating in the top middle of this picture? http://www.hedfiles.net/wcpioneer/Crossbow_Rear.png

Alright, some details. Ok, I see the WC community is highly defensive about any product that slaps the WC name on itself and tries to pose as part of the series. Someone up there complained that I didn't give enough details, and honestly that's only because I thought everyone was on the same...

I guess I kind of got distracted there. I'm not sure what I think about the guy. He gave birth to something I love so much and then drug it through the mud so bad.

Does Chris Roberts ever come around here? I think if I created a continuity that had a whole community of fans keeping it alive long after it died I'd at least stop in and say "hi" or something. Either that or he knows I'd punch him in the face for making that horrible Wing Commander movie.

I love that they're producing this series, but did anyone else get the feeling while they were playing the first two episodes that their gunfire was traveling really slow? When I fired at the enemy, even if the angle was right, I felt like they could fly circles around me before the shots got...

That...explains...everything.

Wow, that looks really good. Maybe it's all just in my head, but the fighters look kind of...puffy.

Java always crashes for one reason or another in my experience.

Ok, time for a new poll.

Thanks for the replies, I actually am mildly familiar with how polygons work, and it never made any sense to me that game makers would WANT to use polygons. I remember creating curved lines on a graphing calculator and all it took was a simple formula. But maybe it wasn't really as simple as...

Sorry for being so ignorant, but why does everything have to be done in polygons? I mean, the Ferret's guns aren't square, and they look really odd being that way. Why can't we just make them round?

So, seriously, are you just on Dark Iron for the whole web comics battle?

Alright, that is pretty bad for me, since my e-mail address for the past 7 years has been "draymen". Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't fly that junker, I'm just saying that's the best option for the Firefly fans.

You are all right to mock the idea. That said, if there is going to be another Privateer game I think it would be awesome to have some kind of transport ship IN THE SPIRIT OF FIREFLY added to the options. Consider: A Dramen-like ship that has better engines but little or no weapons.

That kind of reminded me of this picture.

The hieroglyphic Apparently that photo is actually really famous, and famously fake for that matter. This guy actually wrote a paper on it: http://fragileearth.tripod.com/egy-aircraft.htm

-Ok, damn.

Starlancer was awesome. Throw an Academy style skirmish mode in there and it would have been perfect. It was the shine off the skin of the ships that made it look so amazing. WC3/4/P all had half-baked graphics, but SL went all the way.

Every time I see that "Space Ship One" I keep thinking they should just put a gun on it so they can claim the first fighter in space.
