if you use ctrl-F11 and ctrl-F12 (I think), you can slow down and speed up the "cpu" in dosbox while it is running. if WC is too fast, take it down a bit

stupid traitor mandarins...it's gotta be their fault somehow...

Indeed, I found the Bearcat to be more fun than the Lance. The relative dearth (IIRC) of missiles was a killer in WC4, but the thing was fast, so damn maneuverable, and packed a helluva punch with the four Tachs!

Oh I just thought of something else... SOMETIMES..not always, but SOMETIMES... I had problems in WC2 with the lock-on reticule appearing outside the view area. The way you know a torp is locking on, aside from the sound, is the red target reticule appears some distance away from the...

Adding to catnip's statement: You are doing the right thing...but you might be missing something small. Firstly, double check you are "locked on" a Cap Ship (is this the 'rescue the eject pod before the Ralatha can get it' mission?)...are you CERTAIN you have torpedoes selected? (some...

For me, it's the Rapier, and I voted as such. I hadn't even considered this point though, and it's a good one!

Except the Bearcat

I can't get over the image of Tom Wilson saying "BONING UP on my periodic table of elements" heh!

Oh I'm with you there, at least in the not understanding why I auto-fail. If you fly back to the Lexington, you discover that there are cloaked avengers that blow her up... I flew back there, destroyed the avengers when I saw them, and the Lex still blew sky high. At least that's my very fuzzy...

Which fleet are you talking about? The BIG fleet with the new carriers came straight in along the least time course from Kilrathi space. Least time means going through Vega sector, IMO. https://www.wcnews.com/maps/ We know they hit through Sirius. That leaves just a couple of possible...

This is Concordia, right? Regarding the numbered squares, they're awfully close to the runways. Could they be a place for the ready alert fighters? What about the platforms in the back corners (one has two Ferrets on it)? Could they be elevators to a lower deck?

Sadly, I recall dying that way in Starlancer a lot too...on my own torpedo :o

I was going to say something about the difference being because they're from different games, entirely...but, there's an assumption implicit to that which I can't back up. LOAF, maybe you can answer this: Do you know if the concept of armor value (thickness or "equivalent protection") was...

er...you're right, by gum! The strong just eat asteroids and crap metal! :p

...and while those 10% were all out in ships fighting the Nephilim, who, exactly, would be making the replacement ships, spare parts, food, fuel, etc. that would be needed for the "strong" to fight the war?

That ranks up there with the first time encountering one of those and seeing it shred a fighter! Sucks worse if it's YOUR fighter!

Interestingly...the VERY things that Tolwyn did are the kind of things that made us "fascinating" to the Nephilim.

Agreed, I actually like EaW... I never thought it would be "epic"...it just looked like, and is, fun to pop in and play for a while.

Indeed...you can even see this in-game from the perspective of your choices during the confrontation on the assembly floor. The things that really turn the tide are the revelations that Tolwyn has employed biogenetic weapons against civilian populations and is utilizing genetically enhanced...

I classify EaW as a popcorn game... I need to kill 20 minutes, slap it in and go with a quick start.
