I've been to the Midway several times when I lived in San Diego.

Yep! Thanks!

I recently unearthed my Privateer set while going through some stuff for a rummage sale. We played a little bit of it back in the day between Wing Commander 2 and 3, so I figured I'd play through it again for the fun of it. Although, even though I have the manual and have read through it and...

Thanks for that. I wonder, then, why the rank of Major and Lieutenant Colonel are used in WC1/SM. In WC2 and 3, you're a Colonel.

That really is the best time, IMHO. This reminds me of my early days with WC, too. My friend and I used to have sleep overs when my dad was out of town on business, and we'd stay up LATE nights playing. Lots of times, one of us would say: "Ok, hotshot. Let's see YOU beat it, then." :D

I've only owned two cars in my whole life. Some folks here seem to be rich beyond my wildest dreams, and own these pimped out sets of wheels that I couldn't even imagine myself having enough money to care about. However, I have driven lots of different cars, as my dad used to buy and flip...

Ah. I think I like TCN better. That's what it says on the main computer terminal in Wing Commander 2, right? :D Also, would the "Major" be abbreviated (MAJ.), or spelled out?

I guess I just can't understand the logic. A mission that determines whether you win or lose the game being so difficult that someone would play it close to 50 times and still not pass. Like I said, the Ralari mission in WC1 doesn't bother me, because winning or losing the entire game isn't...

Just wondering which of the following is correct: Terran Confederation Navy, or Terran Confederation Space Navy? I am thinking of having a leather name patch for a bomber jacket printed, and I'd like to get the abbreviation right. I was thinking it'd look like this: MAJOR TUCK DAVION...

Thanks, llanin, for the advice. Though, I am loathe and ashamed to admit that I had to cheat in order to pass this mission. I played the mission over 30 times, and I'd say that over 20 of those times, I was killed by friendly fire before the enemy could finish me off. The rest of those times, I...

Ok, I have to ask again: is it just me? I am on the last mission of Special Operations 1. I have to take down two Fralthras, and I have three wingmen when I get to the Nav Point they are situated at. Ok, so there's 4 Confed ships and 4 Gothris, plus 2 Fralthra. That's too much emulation going...

From the Wing Commander walkthrough by Kasey Chang (can be found anywhere online):

Yeah, Jazz didn't make it easy. I didn't actually shoot him down, I ran into him (or he ran into me) by accident, and that damage was enough to take him down. Thrakhath was no problem. Shoot, there's a mission I played in Special Operations 1 where I am flying an Epee against several...

Well, I just finished K'tithrak Mang flying the Sabre. Now, I played it back when I was a kid, but I did not remember what the difficulty was like. Sparks outfits my ship with, what was it? 6 torpedoes? I figure the starbase will take at least 4 to blow up, otherwise I wouldn't have so many...

You make a good point, Z. I guess where my problems start is when I have played a vexing mission several times with no success, and am very frustrated. Have you ever had anyone trying to talk to you while you are trying to seriously concentrate on a mission where you've failed X amount of times...

This is true; I had a great many prime shots lined up that I could not make because my guns were not heating up for re-fire very quickly. Now that's interesting! Though, I only put the cheat mode on the last time I tried the mission, then decided not to employ it even though I'd put it in. In...

So, I just passed the first mission of K'tithrak Mang on WC2, but not before having to play it 10 + times. Is it more difficult in these missions, since it's pretty much end of game? The Jalkehis guarding the cap ship I was sent out to destroy in the Sabre were all of the sudden like Kilrathi...

I have to admit, this is an advantage of the Broadsword. I've pulled this trick a lot, but it doesn't make up for getting chewed to bits as I am flying away from a torpedo run.

Chris, it was the ad where the asteroid was coming to destroy Earth, and the scientists at the observatory saw it, so they all decided to get drunk with some handy Bud Light. Vagabond was in it. Apparently, the video was removed because it was copywritten, and lord knows that someone who owns...
