You can hear certain things in space like explosions - the shockwave, a kinetic force hits something solid, like a spaceship and makes it vibrate thus creating sound waves. Same with engines firing.

If you could do CGI stuff that'd be helpful.

I'm afaraid not...most of our models are already finished.

Very good. The old ones really had some ugly jagged edges, specially the shield indicator.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the .....<drumroll>....Venture class EW corvette! This ship class will be actually very important in WC Saga. This design is based on the description in the novel False Colors where it is stated that the Confederation uses modified corvettes as electronic...

Well some of them really sucked, but there were others like the Excalibur which were quite good(did you actually do that one? :p ) Anyways no matter how they looked, from a geometry standpoint they were all horrible, however. :p

Not bad...the front section of the top view reminds me of the Gilgamesh. The sideview doesn't look as WCish as it should, but right now I can't tell why. Only one thing...that thing looks huge. Even while in WCP times ships are getting bigger, a light carrier still would be quite small...

No one gives two shits about it unless you use it to earn money. Then they will come for you.

Yeah, you can't trap photons with a magnetic field. And while you can make them slower it only works if they travel through some medium like water or air.

Yeah. From the outside. But after trying to fix some of them to get them running in the FS engine I learn't not to judge them by the looks. :p

Secret Ops isn't an addon for WC 3. It's a completely new game dealing with a new alien threat, the Nephilim. It continues the story arc started in Wing Commander Prophecy. Since it came out much later than WC3, it's technical and graphically superior to WC3, but it doesn't feature FMV cutscenes...

It's not a theory, it's fact. Just fly by a carrier. Even with afterburner it takes you at least a few seconds to fly by it. If you were in fact flying a few hundred kps you would be so fast that by the time you'd realize you've flown past something it would already dozens of miles away.

Check your PM's Tolwyn. Another HLP related thing.

In the fiction yes, but ingame, no.

Use your brains. If you were flying at hundreds of kilometers per second you wouldn't be able to do anything at all. You aren't crossing huge distances in space in any WC mission...the usual distance between nav points is about 26-80 km.

Actually, in the games, the ships move only at a few dozen meters per second with speeds similar to WW2 fighter craft. It's just the speed gauge that shows you that insane number, since the speed isn't measured in kilometers or meters but a WC klick is about 0.13 m s0 500kp/s would be actually...

That seems to hold true for about every fanproject. :p

The sourcecode was released, but the game's not freeware. It's not the same thing. But in reality no one gives two shits about it.

It doesn't look WCish, more like a generic sci-fi design, due to the strange engine configuration. Wc capships have an emphasis on their back end with having wings or something(making the rear look 'heavier'), the assymetrical shap doesn't help either, and that super cannon doesn't smell right...
