Add my welcome to the pile you have already received!

It was my experience that the side quests were random occurrences and really didn't have a specific trigger. Thus you could play a side quest, restore to an earlier save point, and not get the same side quest at the same point in the game. I never played long enough to see if side quests...

Yup. Mark Dacascos (Catscratch, WCIV) played Jimmie Lee in Double Dragon in 1994. In 1998 he was in No Code of Conduct with Courtney Gains (Radio Rollins, WCIII)! He and Tcheky Karyo (James 'Paladin' Taggart, the Wing Commander movie) were in Crying Freedom. He was with Jurgen Prochnow...

Oh, Man I love this topic! I'm always up for a Wing Commander sighting! John-Ryhs Davies (Paladin) and Matthew Lillard (Mainiac) were in In The Name Of The King - A Dungeon Siege Tale. Jason Bernard (Capt. Eisen) and John Spencer (Capt. Paulson, his replacement in WCIV) were in the movie...

I could point out that Scooby Doo has both Gen 3 (With Wing Commander 2 being Gen 1 - who does Blair's voice in WC2?) Christopher Blair and Todd Marshall, but some on this board might not think of Scooby Doo as a 'real' movie.

The concept illustration actually reminds me of Miss Allen's performance of Chief (Master Chief?) Coriolis in Prophecy. It looks like the producers went back to the edgier Rachel to go with the new direction of the franchise.

I suspect a bit of MSRP inflation so stores can claim to be giving you a discount. As sure as getting scanned in Perry, I didn't pay $80 for Privateer OR Wing Commander 2!

I have to agree about "Governor" Menesch being a high rated menace. Loosing 2 Draymons in Wing Commander 1 really bolloxes up the campaign. I've seen HUNDREDS of them go down to pirates in Privateer! No wonder the Galaxy is so popular as a cargo craft in the Gemini sector: it is better armed (at...

"Fangs of the Serpent"? :p

Fanwank: when the fandom tries to explain a piece of canon (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FanWank) The TVTropes article makes mention of the British definition of "wank" so it is not too far removed from what you were thinking, Youngblood Hobbes' overlay would have been like Total...

Actually, this is an interesting Fan-wank (I LUV Fan-wanks!) The details fit canon, and because of Cobra's early demise, the premise would not run counter to any canon. The desire to join Confed could have been programmed into her. Anyone for a fan-fic "The Programming of Laurel Buckley"? I...

To answer the original poster's question, I really like my Logitech Extreme3D Pro. Hat, throttle, stick twists for rudder, and 12 buttons for less than $50. Haven't had much luck with Saiteks, perhaps because all the local stores had were the cheapest models. After 15 years, I still miss my CH...

According to this article, there IS a Wing Commander Freelancer mod: Privateer The Reckoning

I always thought the main criticism of Freelancer was lack of joystick support. From what I have seen of it Freelancer has a great story and great graphics engine but I CAN NOT fly with a mouse. I have tried mouse flight with Privateer and I suck huge sweaty Wu testicles at it.

Well, it seems Flash's degree in the Acadamy was in law. Josh Lucas, who played Flash in Wing Commander 3: Heart of the Tiger, is starring as Mitch McDeere in NBC's The Firm. Good to see a friendy ship!

I'M GOLDEN!!! My 3 Mhz Pentium 4 Still uses the PS/2 keyboard socket! Time to start shopping! Er, did you said something about putting the overlay sheets online? Or do they come in the box?

From a retired Civil Engineer troop in the U.S. Air Force, a sharp salute and congratulations! (Now, return that salute, Butterbar!) :) Eh. Flight School. Waste of a perfectly good Engineer. Oh, well... can't win them all! ;)

Ah, Gemini Sector. My home... According to page 42 of the Privateer manual, tobacco is not legal, but you can sell everywhere except New Constantinople and Perry Naval Station. Canon claims it is because the entire system is automated. Canon ALSO claims that each Commodity Exchange is state...

I officially have QuickShot envy. Do want! That, or Z-board templates for Kilrathi Sage, WCIV, and Prophecy. I count 5 joysticks and 2 throttles in the Karga picture. What models are they, and which ones still work? And is it typical for Wing Commander fans to read Man-Kzin Wars? I know I...
