    RIP Roger Ebert (1942-2013) (April 4, 2013)

    And then his jaw rotted off after he spoke such blasphemy. My bad. Not funny. Too soon. Death forgives a lot of sins.

    Introducing WingStarter: Crowd Funding for the 27th Century Today (April 1, 2013)

    Due to the change in test-fire target, I propose we rename the ship the "Bieberhemoth"

    Star Citizen computer question

    Don't feel bad Capi, I'm running a 9 year old P4 3.0 Northwood with 2 GB of RAM and a Geforce 7600 GS that I bought so I could run Wing Commander Saga and Prophecy Hi-res. The last PC games I purchased were Civilization 4 and Neverwinter Nights. After the Wing Commander series ended I just...

    In WCIII did you choose Flint or Rachel or both one at a time?

    I always go with Rachel. I'd rather have a down to earth mechanic than a self-absorbed, self important priss any day. (I might have been swayed by being an enlisted technician in real life). Besides, who wouldn't want to 'go round' with Ginger Lynn Allen?

    A study of why Confed was having trouble defeating the Kilrathi.

    You agai... Just Kidding. I'm your huckleberry ;) Technologically, Humans and the Kilrathi were pretty even-steven: Kilrathi fighters had weaker shields but superior Jump technology (having defeated the alien race that gave it to them) allowing them to build bigger capital ships. And...

    Newbie =)

    Welcome aboard Enzo03! Like you, I don't own a computer for the $100+ game I just bought, but I have put my system wish list together and HOPEFULLY the hardware will be below $500 by the time beta comes out. It has been a good year for me and Wing Commander. New Chris Roberts space sim...

    WINE Improvements Clear Wingnut Pilots for Launch (December 9, 2012)

    This article was exactly what I was looking for. Once I build my Star Citizen machine, I can convert my current XP system to Linux and still play Wing Commander on it!

    One of the cooler WC-related life experiences I've had.

    A very well written article! I thought Mr. Lesnick (as head of Customer Relations at Cloud Imperium Games) would have given the interview, not Chris Roberts himself! And this one sentence:“... if I owned the rights to Wing Commander, this would be Wing Commander" demonstrates why following...

    TotalBiscuit interviews Chris Roberts

    Excellent! I loved how Mr. Roberts explained how multiplayer would be handled, and the PvP vs PvE "friction" currently going on over at the near-dysfunctional RSI boards sounds like it will be well taken care of. Yes, I know, I ended a sentence with a preposition. Go bite a dumbfire.

    Does Star Citizen deserve its own board on SolSector.net Forums

    I like being able to discuss Star Citizen here, as I would not have known about it without this site, and I feel fairly well tolerated by the Wing Commander community. Giving it it's own board would help keep discussion of Star Citizen subjects seperate from Wing Commander topics, and keep the...

    Empire vs Confederation

    I am still using an WindowsXP P4-3ghz box with 2 Gb ram and a 2 month old Geforce 7600. Unless Windows7 is still offered a year from now, the system I buy to play Star Citizen (Why oh why has Chris Roberts dictated all my hardware upgrades?) will likely have windows 8. :( In the future...

    Interest renovated in Privateer

    I never really stopped. I can complete a mission so fast now, it is casual gaming for me.

    RSI Pledge Thread

    The last minute. THE LAST POSSIBLE FREAKING MINUTE!!! It is 5:40 PM mountain time of the last day of the grace period after Official support has closed. I don't even own a computer that can run Crysis3. I told my wife it was only $60. I went for the Lancer package. HOTJOB IS IN, FELLOW...

    Was the Kilrathi fighting the war on two fronts?

    Ah, somebody needs to read the Baen books! The canon is that Humans and Kilrathi were fairly evenly matched until the time of the Wing Commander Movie, and the First Kilrathi raid on Earth ended in disaster thanks to to both the Tiger('s) (we know it should be there) Claw and Admiral Tolwyn's...

    Will You Love Me When It's Over? (September 5, 2012)

    Meh, the article was drek (with a few "Oh no you did-n't!" references to Mark Hamill's other work), but the comments are pure philosophical gold! And GaryX did reference the WCPedia site as the go-to source for Kilrathi history.
