I thought SM2 had some way too difficult missions, like where your flying a Hornet and have to kill 40 Jalthi or Gratha.

Call up your local Steltek scout. He'll be more than happy to provide you with an energizer for you Steltek gun that will allow you to kill the drone. BTW did you know that the drone has the highest Max velocity (900 kps) of any WC ship, including SO fighters? Plus it has the highest YPR...

Danrik, loaded with Kravens and a Mk IV cooler.

I'd be pleased as punch if "THEY" released a new WC game. It's been so long, but there's always hope.

Never heard of any new missions. News to me.

Here's a question for you. If you read Origin's official guide, they say you can land on Pirate bases. I've tried, but I'm pretty sure you can't. Anyone know differently?

Make sure you fly around to the front of the Claw and fly towards the light gray landing area.

And I bet you're one of the people doing all that compiling, aren't you? :)

Yeah. Cool to see one, but I'd never buy it.

Who actually likes Maniac?

Yeah, people are unstable and unpredictable. I always knew he was trouble.

Yeah, she was always a loose cannon.

A complaint I had often heard about difficulty levels is that people just set it at easy or turn on invulnerability and breeze through the game in a few days. Kills the enjoyment and sense of accomplishment. Invulnerability is especially bad. It does nothing to break in rookies but teach them...

Looks good to me.

Well don't kick the kid in the teeth too hard for just making sure.

Remember the Rostov Hairball? Shotglass had too much free time on his hands. He only washed the bar a billion times. Bet they tractored it in after the Claw was destroyed and wondered about the hole he made with that washcloth. It is now in an orbital museum; a relic of the war. :)

I trust eBay users, but why would someone expect to such unrealistically high prices for old DOS games (save Kilrathi Saga and Prophecy)? I paid 60 bucks or so back in 1997 for an unopened Privateer 2. I'd recon that now it would be worth less, not more. Keep trying though. You'll find some...

Okay.... Definitely not in my budget, but it'd be cool to have. Hey, why doesn't the CIC start a fundraising effort and buy it. That way the Wing Commander legacy will survive the next world war. :)

I agree. It sounds pretty lame, but to each his own, right? Right???

I don't know about whether not they were successful, but you'd think that Blair would have encountered of flown some of them at a later date (WCIII). I checked the Academy manual and you are right -- it says that the Moringstar is considered the current state-the-art capital ship killer. Maybe...
