Ahh...happy coincidence, maybe?
This passage in the WC3 novel reveals something interesting about the possible meaning of 'Utility Carrier' seen in the Confederation Handbook. In this passage, Blair is speculating about why Col. Dulbrunin assigned Maniac as commander of Gold Squadron...
I just found some interesting notes about Confed service in the Wing Commander 3 novel. Unlike the modern-day U.S. Air Force, the TCSF appears to be little more than a specialized branch/department of the larger TCSN. In fact, what makes one a Space Force officer as opposed to a "line" officer...
This is so odd. I just cleared my cache and tried again, but this is what I got in Google Chrome: "Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): The connection was reset."
I also tried downloading from Firefox, but that didn't work either.
Thanks, Chris. I was looking at old links on the forum that lead to Mario Brito's site. Maybe I was looking at the wrong thing. I didn't see any responses in the chat room, so I wasn't sure if something was wrong on my end.
Does anyone have a working link for the Prophecy Enhancement Pack? I just downloaded and installed the OpenGL patch, which works well. Will the enhancement patch improve upon that?
Does anyone have any hi-res photos of the uniforms from the Wing Commander movie? I'm particularly interested in rank badges and other small details. Thanks.
I can't seem to get the FRED (mission editor) to work. I downloaded the version posted on Saga's site and placed it in the WCSAGA folder. When I run the program, it displays nothing but error tables. Is anyone else having trouble with this?
Is it possible that the Princeton was a war-era reconstruction like the Lexington. Blair seemed to indicate that the Lexington was pretty much state-of-the-art in 2673, even though the ship was a rebuilt following the Battle of Earth in 2668. Perhaps the Princeton was rebuilt or modernized as well.
Is there any evidence to show that the TCS Princeton was a newly completed Concordia-class Carrier in 2673? I remember from the WC4 dialog that it was undergoing "ad hoc repairs." It may make more sense if the Concordia-class construction schedule encompassed the mid 30s to the mid 40s.
Thanks guys, that is exactly the one I was looking for. Even if it is no longer really applicable, it forms an important part of the historiography of our community.
