    WC's best fighter and bomber of all time

    Oh right. It says that in Claw Marks, but I never managed to test the theory, because I can never resist killing the Dralthis. :)

    The Vampire Strikes Back (May 4, 2007)

    It's only the side view I dislike, to be honest. I just think the cockpit looks too small in comparison to the huge fins at the back. I like the way it looks in the Kilrathi Saga intro movie, because you never see it from that angle, hehe. Oh... I'd have said the Midway is one of the...

    WC's best fighter and bomber of all time

    Doesn't Dakhath shoot you down if you eject near him? That's my favourite mission in Wing Commander I. Two Raptors vs. nine Dralthis. And you even have a decent wingman for it. Perfect scenario. :D

    Smoothing the edges...

    It's fun if you take a Dragon, because Dekker berates the survivors of a holocaust, calling them "idiots" for not realising it was a commandeered craft. Sensitive, huh? ;)

    Maniac and Blair

    They'd have probably got more pally if the canon story had played out like the 'evil Blair' ending where Hawk appears to be his right hand man.

    The Best Games Never Published

    The Borg had energy weapons in Descent, but then again, they were the ones working for Lore. The thing that spoiled the Borg in Elite Force for me was the damn Infinity Modulator. It took away the scariest thing about fighting the Borg, which is that if you fire too many times, they'll adapt...

    The Vampire Strikes Back (May 4, 2007)

    Well, there is a slight difference between what someone classes as their favourite overall fighter and what they might want sitting on their desk... when it's on their desk, it's just there to look good, they don't have to fly it. :) Eg. I think the Scimitar looks very cool, but I don't...

    The Vampire Strikes Back (May 4, 2007)

    Victory Vesuvius Dragon Midway But I still think it should be two polls, one for fighters and one for capships.

    Best Wingman??

    Haha, I used to get that a lot. You'd here the tell-tale sound of shields draining, and then suddenly the music would go all sad. So if I'd just launched and started to hear it, I'd hit the autopilot as quickly as possible, to save them. ;) Anyway, my list would be: WC1: Best = Iceman...

    The Vampire Strikes Back (May 4, 2007)

    I heartily second that. It gives everyone two chances to influence the final decision, so if, for example, I wanted the Tiger's Claw and voted for it, but it lost out to the Concordia, which I think is butt ugly (sorry!), I'd vote for the top fighter instead. (And if the top fighter was an...

    Gameplay question for WC1

    I used to always roll through 180 degrees to land on the Victory on WC3 because you always seem to approach 'upside down'... then after seeing the movie, I started landing Maniac and Rosie style. :) You have to be careful on the mission where you go off to rescue Flint, because if you cruise...

    WC4 Graphics

    Yeah, it hurts to admit it, but you are right. When seen close up, the ships were just a blur, whereas the graphics of WC3 onwards are still absolutely fine to see what's what.

    The Vampire Strikes Back (May 4, 2007)

    For me, it would have to be the Claw. Original and best. :D I'd certainly pitch in for this project, if it goes ahead (uhh, unless it ends up being a model that I really, really hate :p).

    What Will You Fly? (April 22, 2007)

    I want to fly a ship with a top speed of 600kps that has rapid-fire fission cannons with infinite power supply, infinite afterburner, 100 Image Recognition Maces, phase shields and the armour of a supercarrier. Oh, and a cloak. Which it can fire weapons while using. That'd be cool. ;)

    WC's best fighter and bomber of all time

    Well, if you're after maximum survivability, it's the Strakha you want. :)

    WC4 Graphics

    I think the best thing about Prophecy's graphics were the gorgeous missile trails. Whereas the best looking thing in WC4 was... Velina Sosa. ;)

    Gameplay question for WC1

    Ditto. I found they were waaaay more effective in WC1 to WC2. After that, it was sort of a spiral downwards until you had to be practically sitting in an enemy's cockpit before you could be fairly sure of a successful missile hit. Bloody decoys... :( Just going back to the original...

    WC's best fighter and bomber of all time

    Yeah, I liked the Crossbow, too. It's like the love child of a Raptor and a Broadsword. Lovely stuff.

    Come on guys be honest with me here...

    C&C Tiberian Sun had the worst FMV I've ever seen in a game. I've not played C&C3 yet, but I'm not particularly looking forward to the FMV. (Emperor: Battle for Dune was a close contender for worst FMV, ever. Michael Dorn really needs to stick to playing Worf. ;))
