Eeesh! :) Can't believe you guys! Sacrilegious what you're saying about the Sabre...sacrilegious, I say! :) Eh, I guess we're all just pilots of a different makeup. McGruff, if you can make things work with a Broadsword, then I, for one, salute you. I could never pull off anything overly...

My input... Heya, fellas. Congrats, Dragonslayer, on getting through on your own! :) As for my two cents about the Sabre...always liked her, always will. Her full guns have more kick than the Rapier and I never found the shields to be that terribly deficient...whatever they lack in...

Hey again, fellas. Well, I'm not going to argue the future of the Kilrathi at all. I've honestly never really given it much thought. There's no reason why your prediction for the future wouldn't hold true. I personally have a different take on it, but hey - to each his own. :) The way I...

You had a good point there, Moonsword. Again, my whole lengthy discertation there was simply as things apply to the norm (in this case, the Kilrathi Empire itself). I don't doubt that there could be Kilrathi raised by humans (and even some who aren't) who would not be as barbaric or violent...

My two cents... Heya, fellas. Saw this discussion on the forums, and figured I'd chime in. Since I'm in the process of trying to write a fan fiction based on the WCU following the events that take place in Prophecy and SO while remaining true to the spirit of WC, I've been trying to get...

Heya, guys. Again, thanks for the replies (and no, I'll never stop saying that!). :) Anxiety, thanks for your vote of confidence. You're absolutely right...most of the great stories and movies out there fall into some kind of cliche; people find a formula that works, and they go with it...

Hmmm... That's a possibility I suppose, Anxiety. My only point of concern with the cohesiveness of that idea, though...is...well, let's say that the bugs (or rather the Aligned to be more encompassing here) CAN control the minds of other species. Additionally, let's assume that the Aligned...

Oooo wow....ok, let's all just take it a little easy. Save it for the Nephilim! :) Spien, you're entitled to your opinion; I won't crucify you for it. I, for one, liked the movie AND the games, but ehhh - maybe I just have lower standards than most people or something. :) LOAF, you made...

Thanks for the response, Spien. Yeah, I guess it would be a bit cliche to fight an evil version of a good hero...but at some point, I think anything you could ever come up with would be a bit cliche. I kind of doubt that a Blair pawn of the Nephilim would fight with as much skill, grace, or...

Hmmm... Heya, guys. I'm totally with you on one person not really making a substantial difference to an extent...but then if that's the case, what's the point in Wing Commander at all? Wasn't it about the one guy making a difference...flying against the Kilrathi or the Nephilim, launching...

And thanks again for the continued replies, guys. LOAF, good point on the naming of Nephilim ships. I STILL think they should've held off on naming anything "Leviathan" until they came up against a HUGE sucker of a ship...but eh, it didn't happen that way, so it's a moot point. Still...

Heya, guys. Wow...this thread started to take off just a wee bit - awesome. :) Sanders, good point...even though the alien ships are named after aquatic life, it's assumed that these are the names designated by humans to define the various kinds of Nephilim ships. And just a bone to pick...

Hmmm... Pretty good, Dyret. :) I think I'll pass on the moose...they just don't have an intimidating look about em. Might be able to do something similar to an Owl in appearance...some have almost ghost-like faces, so that might work on some level. Of course, then there's a bit of a...

Hmmm... Again, thanks for the responses, fellas. Well, history wasn't long enough to prove either of us right or wrong, Viper61, but I get your meaning. Perhaps you're right - maybe I'm just reading too much into things. But I've been giving this a bit of thought... Most of the time...

Interesting... Thanks for your replies, guys, and especially "Viper61." Just a question about what I read, though...there's reference to Blair potentially becoming the third horseman or something like that. What exactly does that mean? Is that some kind of reference to an earlier part of...

Hi, WC Community. Some of you may recall my first post asking a few questions on WC history, the Sivar Prophecy, and the race of Star Gods or Nephilim (the bugs we all know and love from the last game in the series). I recall in that thread hearing some speculation and facts hinting on the...

Hmmm... I dunno....few (if any) of those older ships took kindly to missiles, and I always seemed to have more than my fair share of them chasing me around vacuum...and I don't think any of those birds of the era came equipped with countermeasures either. So you'd charge into a furball (heh -...

Hmmm... I hear ya, LOAF. I guess the only reason I picked up on the "Top Gun" similarities to the extent that I did was because I went into Prophecy without knowing anything about "Maverick" or "Iceman" as they fit into the Wing Commander universe...it was actually kind of funny, because I...

Heya... Hey again, guys. Didn't realize it'd be a bit of a touchy subject likening parts of the Prophecy storyline to "Top Gun," but I think you all see what I'm getting at. Maybe names like "Maverick" and "Iceman" are generic enough that it's merely a coincidence that they pop up in "Top...

I dunno... I dunno, guys... I still think they'd be better off continuing the storyline after Prophecy, with one minor suggestion - DEVIATE FROM THE "TOP GUN" STORYLINE A BIT MORE! I think that'd have to be my biggest complaint with Prophecy...that was the first time I learned that Blair's...
