    SM2 cover question

    I was looking at covers in coverbrowser.com and this may actually be first time I've ever seen original Crusade cover anywhere. I can't find a better pic and what I cant figure out is what's that picture below Doomsday? The one with Snakeir(?) and half moon. What are those frames, is this an...

    Why is the Space-Sim genre still dead?

    All flight sims have been doing bad so song. At this point even talk about new Star Fox is a good sign. I think the biggest problem of flight/space sims is that they rarely fit well on consoles and these days it's hard to do a PC-only game. Dead genres stay dead. Occasional hand may rise...

    Mosque At 9/11 site.

    I think it'd be a generally bad idea and provocation, but if someone wants to put their money in it there's no reason why it should/could be denied. On the bright side: Besides the few thousands who died and their families, the people who've suffered from 9/11 most are the American muslims...

    Most underrated fighter

    I disagree on Scim, but against those two I'd choose it over Hornet or Draltri. Epee is rather fun to fly, wont take hits too easily and most of all: has guns in the middle instead of spread mile wide (Rapiers, Saber, Crossbow). I mostly don't prefer light fighters but Epee is a good one and...

    Another WC universe question

    The outer similarities of Kilrathi to big cats, while explainable or even logical, don't necessarily mean this gives any indication about breeding. An echidna is in many ways like a hedgedog, but reproduction is completely different. I don't think WC1 (despite Mopoks & Firekka) was as...

    Favorite Bombing run...

    WC1: only one I'd call "bombing mission" is the last one; WC1 and Privateer don't have real bombing runs WC2: between exciting and frustrating, too much time goes on waiting shields to go up again for another run (on bombers) WC3/4: kind of like 1/Priv with mean turret fire; my least favourite...

    Another WC universe question

    That and most of this version kind of contradicts what's said in WC2. Of course that "fifteen cousins" could refer to wider family, 2nd cousins and even further. The problems of royal family suggest long inbreeding and I think that's only possible if children of wives have been clearly in...

    Another WC universe question

    That could work either way. Concubines could mess up my math, but if it means there's only one actual official wife and children of concubines don't count as heirs, then my calculation stands.

    Another WC universe question

    Emperor says to Thrakhath: "...one of your fifteen cousins will replace you as Heir to Kilrah!" Lets assume this includes only male lines, emperor's sons' sons. If Kilrathi have approximately equally males and females, that would mean emperor has about 64 grandchildren, who judging by...

    Massive WC3 Final Mission bug?

    Except keeping 250 in asteroids, that's good advice. I think my flying is more like Hunter, at least we always seem to be in the same place. And he's not the worst wingman in the "always goes after weakest enemy = the one I'm shooting right now" thing some of them do.

    Massive WC3 Final Mission bug?

    Is that a bug? I assumed it's a feature, that you're supposed to fly it stealth.

    New Wing Commander Game?

    I'd like an actual prequel to WC1. To play as Halcyon or Shotglass, or at least fly with them and of course the other older folks, Paladin etc. To see Custer's Carnival... Or in some later time, a Kilrathi civil war where you'd actually play as a cat. An entirely separate idea: start new...

    Most overrated fighter?

    I always kill Hobbes first.

    Did you like the Wing Commander movie?

    I have tendency to hate (or at least be very critical of) all movies made of my favourite books, games and comics; that means I rated LotR 7-8/10, Spider-Man annoys the hell out of me and David Lynch should hang for Dune. So I'm not very good at judging them "as movie", like seen by non-fans...

    Best Storyline

    WC2 (and especially SO1) had several of best kilrathi lines ever. But if you fail me, as I expect Khasra will... ...one of your fifteen cousins will replace you as Heir to Kilrah!

    Most overrated fighter?

    True, except the one where you come out of jump near a cap ship.

    California Video Game Ban

    I doubt if it's quite that bad in Sweden, not here at least. Then again if you're constantly spanking child for tiniest reason or yelling in threatening way daily, that's quite good reason to lose custody.

    Most overrated fighter?

    I say WC2 Rapier, even Epee is better and Ferret beats them both. In WC1 I prefer Raptor, but Rapier is almost as good, it's not overrated.

    Best ways to win the last SO1 mission

    Aren't they both Sabre missions? Is this right? I thought the result was generally same, except we lose the station maybe? Anyway, I think the second (really last mission of game) is harder than the first. I've never had any particular tactic, except trying to get Gothris aways from the...

    Wing Commander Movie makes 20th

    #17 Digimon: The Movie (2000) That's not even a real movie, it's 3 specials mutilated and pasted together. Ugly list. But Prince of Persia up there makes me wonder: on last decade comic movies stopped (occasionally) being absolutely awful. Maybe on this decade it's finally time for game...
