    Confed Starbases

    It's probably going several hundred kilometers/second (quite resonable for cruising across a solar system).

    Even more help in WC3 please...

    Assuming you have a 3D accelerator card, did you try disabling the acceleration (you should be able to get to it by going from Control Panel->Display->Settings->Advanced)?

    Wing Commander 4

    They most probably weren't, seeing that they were products of the GE program and were only following orders (and they weren't doing anything serious enough to merit their own trials). I believe the end of the novel states that ConFed went after the top leaders of the Black Lance Project, and I...

    Confed Starbases

    Not that hard to comprehend. Since the planets aren't often all lined up, Blair could have come from a jump point across the system to get to Jupiter while passing Mars, or he could have come from Earth.

    Confed Starbases

    I'm pretty sure the superbase in WCP is the same one orbiting Jupiter in WC3 and 4.

    Wing Commander III Question

    To be fair, I just wanted to point out that you're only given a small hint that most people overlook.

    Wing Commander III Question

    You are supposed to cloak before the last nav point, and the only way to tell is by checking your in-game nav map. There it states a message from Paladin telling you to cloak, your only hint. (That is, unless you have a game guide.)

    Good Bye Origin

    Allegiance wasn't a no. 1 top-seller. It's somewhere near the bottom of the space sim selling list.

    WC4 question

    You've got to give the ConFed pilots some credit.. They're thinking they're attacking heavily armed terrorists in their own territory.. What good (non-Black Lance) ConFed pilot could consciously go up against the Heart of the Tiger? Besides, many of the pilots in WC4 were new, most of which...

    WC4 question

    I'm very sorry to hear that. The standard PSX controls are uber-simplified for maximum gameplay with minimum load time (fifteen seconds to go from the mess hall to the berths adds up over the course of a game) and to reduce arthritis. If you have the instruction manual (PSX WC4 came with a...

    WC4 question

    WC4 question

    Yes and no. Yes, you have to defect, but you can turn Blair to the dark side later in the game. Just make good (bad?) decisions.

    Wooo! Just got WC4 DVD!

    Woah. Thanks for pointing out my mistake with confusing double-sided with single-sided WC4 DVDs. Sorry I didn't catch them earlier.

    Origin stuff on ebay

    Very neat item. Seeing that a simple poster was bought by a certain someone for over $500, I doubt it'll take long for the Kilrathi costume to get higher than the starting price.

    Wooo! Just got WC4 DVD!

    Sorry to hear the bad deal you got on the double-sided DVD. Did you ask the seller about it beforehand? There aren't many nation-wide PC stores that still have the WC games in stock. It's pretty much impossible to find the one-sided DVD WC4 anyways, since it was packaged with a DVD encoder...

    What's eating you?

    Thanks for point that out, Bob. Pretty disturbing pictures, if they were real.

    Goodbye Origin

    Castles isn't exactly regarded much as one of the greatest games of all time, but Interplay did (does?) have several very notable game series. I don't know where the "Fabulous Trio" title come from, but Interplay has made its mark.

    Wing Commander: Secret Missions 1 & 2 Question.

    Unlike the Kilrathi Saga versions of Secret Missions and Secret Ops, the original versions did not come with the games, or have a free-to-download option. I seem to remember them being sold together (SM 1&2, and SO 1&2) for around 25 bucks, back in the early 90s. There are also the deluxe...

    Wing Commander: Secret Missions 1 & 2 Question.

    eBay tends to have the expansion campaigns for the original two games on auction periodically. I don't think it would be to expensive or hard to get them from there. As for downloading the original add-ons.. Seeing they cost a sum of money when they came out, downloading them off the internet...
