The Description of the engine mentions collecting hydrogen fuel from space. That sounds kind of like the ram scoops from Wing Commander.

Thanks I really appreci...wait, you weren't talking about me?

The classifieds section of Star*Soldier suggests the Kilrathi are trying to rebuild Kilrah.

Maybe sniffing cats has caused you to develop feline tendencies and you were eating cat food at your computer without realizing it.

At the end of the Academy episode Word of Honor we see a Kilrathi swim, although not for very long.

The Privateer Manual says that a cargo unit is “roughly a cubic meter”. So the Centurion carries about 50 cubic meters of cargo.

You wouldn’t think so if you ever tried to do it.

The reason you thought that is because it's true. In the section on attacking a capital ship it refers to it as a “Kamekh-class Destroyer”.

I think it was only fans that called the Victory a Ranger class ship. I don’t believe that was ever an official thing.

Are you actually talking or just typing?

I thought of Gordon Freeman at first too. His suit was black and orange.

I don’t know if you noticed or not but hitting an enemy fighter with a missile will often cause it to spin around for a few seconds. Hitting one at the right time can prevent him from shooting at the ship your escorting long enough for you to destroy it.

Sivar must be smiling upon us.

Is this the reason why the download links to the show aren’t working anymore? If so it’s definitely worth losing the downloads to get an official DVD release and I plan to buy it even though I have them all on my hard drive.

This thread reminds me of an episode of sci fi science where they designed a star fighter. They started out with a sphere and added spikes with thrusters at the ends. Supposedly this made it extremely maneuverable but since it wouldn’t fly well in an atmosphere they switched to something closer...

One of the things I like about WC1 is that the funerals have a different feel to them. In later games people usually can only die at certain points. Often someone will tell you there was nothing you could have done to save them, and they’re right, the death was scripted and it’s impossible to do...

I just replayed WC1 for the first time in quite a while. Often nostalgia makes things seem better than they were and you’re disappointed when you experience them again. That isn’t the case with Wing Commander, it’s just as awesome as I remember. It’s not just a great game for its time it’s still...

That reminds me. In this thread http://www.crius.net/zone/showthread.php?p=355039#post355039 you said you were going to try to upload higher quality versions of the Academy episodes. Is that something you’re still planning on doing or did you have to give up on it for some reason?

So nobody has anything interesting to say about the game itself? I think playing the game without a time limit isn’t too much fun since there is no way to lose and no reason to try to work quickly. Since I had absolutely no idea what to expect from a game made by NASA (other than the fact...

Moonbase alpha is the name of the NASA game. Here is a link to the website http://www.nasa.gov/moonbasealpha. It looks like you can only play it on steam so you’ll need to get an account if you don’t already have one.
