    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    Heh... That makes you and me both, Ed.... ;) Yeah, I understand that games like WC3, WC4, Prophecy, etc. can't happen without money...I guess I just question really the bonds shared by EA, what-used-to-be-Origin, Chris Roberts, etc... Again, I'm not trying to be a naysayer here or anything...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    Hmmm... Heya, guys. Thanks for all the replies...we're moving a tad away from off-topic and moving more into the area of reminiscing of the WC days of old, and speculating about the future or lack thereof of the franchise... But hey, that's fine too...at least to hold us over in the...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    ... Oh...well, allow me to further display my ignorance...oh wait - I just did. ;) Thanks, Starkey - had no clue. :o Well, I definitely would never be against EA picking up the series again, but what's the likelihood of THAT happening? And what'd ever be the likelihood of getting some of...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    Three reasons... I wouldn't/couldn't do that for 3 reasons: (1) I don't trust larger companies like EA; when you get into that big corporate mentality, I think they're probably more in it for the money than the love of games at some point (ergo, I wonder if they'd be capable of giving WC the...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    Hmmm... Well, as always, thanks, guys. By now, I think I have enough to get to work. I need to give some things some thought...there's a few rough edges I need to iron out in my own mind...but thanks for all the background information, thoughts, and discussion. You guys have been IMMENSELY...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    And again, thanks... Thanks again, fellas. LOAF, thanks for all the information. I wonder where I put the manual for Prophecy...I know I must have it somewhere, but I guess I never took the time to read it back when...I guess that's when I figured there'd be more Wing Commander games on the...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    As always... As always, thanks for the quick replies, fellas. Yeah, the "Mother Creature" reference is a bit thought-provoking. It almost seems that this title would be reserved for the mother of all mothers, but you're right, LOAF - this title could just be individually hive-specific. I'm...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    Hmmm... As always, thanks, LOAF. Just one question here - in the article you forwarded me to, it seems to indicate the presence of multiple queens...unless I'm completely off (I'm going on about 4 hours of sleep thanks to an addiction to play a few more levels of Wing Commander 3 last...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    A couple MORE questions... So I was finally thinking through how I wanted to start this story I'm planning to work on....and then it dawned on me - LOAF referred to one of the Nephilim aliens as "Warlord." So then the question sprung to mind - is there an official known Nephilim heirarchy I...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    Hmmm... Hmmmm... Well, thanks for your input as always, guys. Looks like a few loose ends here, though, that aren't really easy to piece together...I'll have to give it some more thought, I guess. LOAF, thanks for the background on those three sectors...I'll consider the information you...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    ...and a few more creative questions... Heya, fellas. I've been in the process of trying to mentally fit all the ideas in my head into this story I'm cooking up, but then a few things popped in my head that I thought I'd put out there to start a discussion and some more thought processes...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    Thanks, LOAF... Hey, thanks, LOAF. I'll give things a bit more thought and see if any more questions creep up. But as it stands right now, I THINK I have just about everything I might need from this thread to finally get to work. Now, it's simply a matter of getting off my tush! :)...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    And more thanks. :) *Is REALLY tempted to make a comment on the Reagan and Bush not being named after dead people, but out of respect for the community, the thread, and the forum he's in - and especially Moonsword - he refrains.* AHHH! :) Thanks again for the feedback, LOAF. Shame that...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    ...and MORE questions... Hey, fellas. Thanks again for the continued input. A few more questions have since come to mind: (1) Do we know what Orestes looks like, or is that open to artistic creative depiction? (2) And you mean that we have no real clue what the government body of the...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    Wow... Yeah, I think you said it best, LOAF. And here I thought this was a Wing Commander forum....go figure! :) I'll give some things some thought, and see if I can start asking a few more questions to get things back on track, how'll that be? :) Oooo, ooo...got one. What planets of...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    Heya, guys... Again, thanks for everything, guys. Johnny, thanks for the information. In the storyline I'm envisioning (though yes, I realize it'll be unofficial fiction), there will be a small group that will be going into enemy Nephilim territory. One of the things that's been bugging me...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    And a couple map questions... I also have a couple starmap questions, if you guys would be so kind: (1) What is a "Charybdis Capable System?" (2) There's the Scylla jump which I guess Blair makes in the movie while piloting the Diligent. Then I guess there's the Pulsar jump Taggart makes...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    Heh :) No problem, LOAF. Thanks again for everything. Just a couple quick notes here: The one scene where the bugs are "interrogating" Blair is when Casey is kind of drifting off as Finley's dipping a tea bag into her cup of hot water. Not to be a pain in the butt, but are we sure...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    And a few more questions to rattle off here... :) Hey again, fellas. Thanks again for the responses. Powell99, thanks again for the praise. LOAF, thanks as always for all the historical details. I've taken some time to look at the universe map to make some sense out of the things you've...

    Some sunshine & a few general questions...

    Hey now... :) As always, thanks for your replies, guys. LOAF, thanks for your commentary and for laying down the hard facts. Honestly, I don't know if having the Nephilim be the Star Gods or not would affect the story I'm cooking up one way or the other. I guess this was just more a...
