Of course, its also possible that Paulson just plain wasn't on the ship when it blew. What it looked like to me was that he'd been away from the ship (presumably at a meeting with Tolwyn, which is why Seether is in the shuttle instead of so much space debris), and returned shortly after Blair...

Starlancer torpedo hunts are quite a bit different from WC torpedo hunts, though. Primarily, that's because WC torpedoes tend to be in groups of one or two, and the cap missile intercept in Prophecy that has a small wave of cap missiles takes place at a long enough range from the Midway that...

Game - Vagabond - If you defect at the first opportunity, he dies in the raid on the station. If you don't defect, he ejects, and is presumably recovered by Confed who probably treats him as a traitor or deserter. Catscratch - Follows you no matter what. Dies if you don't decide to help him...

Do we know what Angel's team was doing when it was captured? Given that the only thing we know they did was conduct a geological survey of Kilrah, it might be that they spent the entire time in orbit, under cloak, quietly scanning interesting looking sites from up above.

Best guess is that they lost EVERYTHING when they lost Gorah Kar, and had to rebuild their technology almost from scratch. The factories were blown up from orbit, so its questionable how many of their technical people they were able to get out. It wouldn't be that surprising, really. GK was a...

Hmm... I always stripped the turrets first, and then waited until the last minute to launch torpedoes and break away. That always seemed to work for me. Blame the latter part of it on WC2.

I like the original much more than I like number 2. And pirate attacks never involved combat. You'd just get a message saying that X amount of money had been lost to pirate attacks, or something like that, as a random event.

For the last several months, Microsoft has been saying that Freelancer will be out in about six months. Mind you, when they first started saying that, release was six months away, and its still six months away. Its in Daikatana land. In other words, its still quite a ways from release. Duke...

Hey, screwball, you're barking up the wrong tree. Learn a little about your games before you go accusing people of not knowing what they're talking about. If you did, then you'd know that Freelancer is in pretty much the same boat that Duke Nukem Forever is, and much better known around these...

Duke Nukem 3d isn't dead. Its just that the next game in the series, Duke Nukem Forever, will be released roughly three months after Freelancer.

Aries - Origin started as the publishing company of Ultima (with #3, iirc). Ergo, Ultima never replaced Wing Commander. It merely shared the spotlight for a while. Ultima is also one of the most respected names in Computer Role-Playing History, and one of the founders of Origin is probably...

Not any more. :D Let him stay dead. If you don't like Casey, fine. But Blair's time as a hero is over.

As far as I'm concerned, Blair is dead, and as tragic as that may be, let the guy rest in peace. If you don't like Casey, then so be it. But Blair's era is over.

In the US, once you're found Not Guilty, you cannot be tried again. There have been instances where people admitted to the crime well after the trial (one instance involved a writer who paid a sum of cash to two white men who had been involved in the lynching of a black kid in the south), but...

Er, that would be End Run, not Fleet Action. Thrakhath kills his navigator when that happens, iirc (not that it was the navigator's fault). The Kilrathi also have some limited cloaking technology to hide jump points that they demonstrate in WC3. However, the technology is apparently dependent...

Umm... Let me get this straight. They make a complete game (and a decently long one, at that), and offer it for absolutely no return on their investment for a period of time (and state beforehand that its only available that way for a limited period of time). Then they quit offering it for...

The difference is that the KS add-ons were never released commercially (with KS compatibility, that is). The only release was via the 'free download' method. The non-KS versions of the add-on are still illegal to download. The SO episodes were originally provided for free, but Origin...

The one time I was on a jury, the defense attorney went to great pains to point out that that the jury just finds whether or not the defendent is guilty, and that finding the defendent 'Not Guilty' does not necessarily mean that the defendent is 'Innocent'. It just means that there's reasonable...

Generally that's not the case. The new fighters are delivered at the same time the old fighters are removed. But no matter what, you're forgetting one thing. The squadron still exists whether it has fighters or not. The squadron is a collection of individuals that happen to fly fighters...

You do not disobey orders unless there is a compelling moral reason. Period. That's the view that the military takes. Now if you singlehandedly won the battle because you disobeyed orders, you'll probably be congratulated. But otherwise you follow orders to the T, and only excercise your...
