Yes, Spirit, but think of it this way: A Tarsus has a hold of, what was it? 150? A cent has a cargo space of 50? A demon 25? Well, a Paradigm has space of 100,000 IIRC. That's a lot of cargo space, and, right now, by the way, when you land on a planet, their stock of wood or pets or whatever...

Hmmm... That IS one possible solution. If a bit strange, though. Or maybe there could be a message added on the HUD when you get on your ship "To begin part 2, Righteous Fire, go to Jolson pleasure base." But it's a bit anathema to immersion to have a game related message or button like that...

I finally bit the bullet and bought a demon. What a difference! This is how the Centurion was supposed to fly. In the original Privateer, the Centurion is a better fighter, not just a better cargo ship. No wonder they were kicking me! The numbers should be reversed between demon and cent...

Yeah, I was just reading about Wing Commander Armada, and it suposedly was a kind of strategy game, where you colonize planets, mine asteroids, produce ships, and so on; intermixed with WC style skirmishes. Of course, the game must have had a different interface. But I'm sure that if one manages...

I was also just reading about Armada (never played it) but it seems it was more of a strategy game, where you mine planets, build shipyards, and so on. Maybe there could be some of that... er.. I guess this is a WCU topic, nevermind.

Anyways, I was discussing this whole thing with Bandit LOAF at the WCU forum, and I asked him point blank: To which he answered, This being so, I've got to retract something. Either one "becomes" another character to play WC3 before RF, or whatever Burrows does is not *exactly* what Blair...

Like what? Forcing the player to install a new game, and waking up in Jolson?

Thanks. I'm going to look for "The Kilrathi Saga".

Gee, that wasn't a good idea, to ride my Paradigm to Tri-Pak; asteroid fields are virtually impossible to navigate with a Paradigm.

You know, the two common types... I'm headed for Tri-Pak...

The only other Origin game I played, besides the 3 Privateer's, was Strike Commander...

WOW! Gotta find those novels, at least. Thanks!

I see. So, it's going to take some thinking how to turn all this WC and make a continuously playable WCU... Okay, is this correct so far? WC1 - 2654 (name eventually becomes Chris Blair) SM - 2654-2655 "The Secret Missions" (Thor's Hammer) SM2 - 2655 "The Secret Missions" (...) WC2 -...

Saved your post to a text file. Gee!, after so many years, now I feel like playing all the other WC games... I have this burning question: *Could* and/or *Should* WCU have the same character alternating between Privateering and Service roles?, or would it make more sense that the player can...

I did, but that was many years ago, I don't have it around any more. But it wasn't a Tesla Coil, it was a ... whachamacallit ... not "Jacob's ladder"... another ladder but it escapes me now, basically a long chain of diode capacitor stages. The ladder had to be submerged in oil, otherwise it...

You're into high voltage, Spirit? I got a 150 KV zapper... ;-)

Ah good, if you still have savegames from Rygannon, what you need to do is, after you get your last paycheque, if you land on ANY mining base OTHER than Rygannon, and go to the bar, you'll see Goodin, who will tell you to go see Admiral Terrel at Perry. Yeah, that's a bug in the plot file. The...

I got Wings 3D, though I've only used it once, but if you have a couple of pics I could give it a try.

Okay, forgive my ignorance, I only played Privateer, RF and Priv 2. I look at the timeline and I don't know all the abbreviations: WC1 - 2654 SM - 2654-2655 SM2 - 2655 WC2 - 2665-2667 SO1/2 - 2667 WC3 - 2669 WC4 - 2673 WCP/SO - 2681 Wing Commander 1 SM??? SM2??? Wing Commander 2...

Here's an idea: When I first played Priv, after Terrel's speech, I went all over the place hoping for further missions or missed parts of story, or easter eggs, or kilrathi weapons caches or hidden jump-points. Eventually I headed back to Terrel's office, to see if I could change my mind and...
