Are you sure the box with the fold out is the deluxe version? I picked up a box like that as soon as it came out in the US when I went on holiday there, but I didn't notice anything special about the things that came with the game. When prophecy started showing up in the UK it seemed exactly the...

This week on Star Trek: Enterprise (probably an old episode for people in the US) the scientist that was being tortured was played by the actor who was Pliers in WC4. I wasn't sure at first but when he spoke his voice was a dead give away. Although this has nothing to do with wing commander...

What you were actually shooting at was probably just the jump buoy. According to that article about jump points, the point itself is a natural phenomena that connects two points in space, so I don't think destroying the buoy would close it. I wonder if it is even possible to destroy a jump point...

I knew that had to happen to somebody at some point - that's really unlucky. Knowing my luck, I'm surprised it never happened to me. Glad to hear you did it in the end though. Have fun flying the Gratha on the next mission.

To enable invincibility, use a text editor (such as WordPad) to edit the "wingcmdr.cfg" and "wc2.cfg" files for Wing Commander 1 and Wing Commander 2. Just add "-k -b" to both files and you should be impervious to damage. I suggest making a copy of each file before doing this just in case you...

The fact that the mace made an appearance in WC4 was cool, but it was nowhere near as good as it was in SO2. I still preferred the starburst, which was quite effective when fired into the deck of a capship and the coneburst, which could damage or even destroy more than one fighter from an...

How could Alpha 2 win the Freespace poll? For me it was Alpha 3 all the way. :D

Capship weapons seemed near useless in the kilrathi saga version of WC1. They were much more lethal on the SNES, but I don't know about the original PC WC1 as I have never played it. I could literally sit there shooting at them on the KS version and they barely even tickle the shields of my...

I know which mission you mean and when I did it, the Sheffield also fell to a group of Vaktoths even though they were quite close to the ship where the AMGs should have wreaked havoc. This surprised me as I had previously seen it (or was it Coventry... not sure :confused: ) single handedly take...

If I remember correctly, the Brimstone series only has 3 missions and the strategy guide agrees with me, so I assume you are talking about Brimstone 3 where you have to take out a Dorkir defended by several Krant. As you said, looping behind the Jalthi is best, as you avoid their six forward...

The game hints that Blair doesn't really like the idea of exterminating the kilrathi homeworld, for example when Blair talks to Tolwyn about the Behemoth, saying in a sad sounding voice, "we're headed to Kilrah with that thing aren't we," and he looked shocked at Tolwyn's reply: "well what would...

Yes you do go to rostov if you fail Kurasawa 2. Personally, I like the Rostov series since you get to fly Raptors (my favourite WC1 ship) with Iceman (my favourite WC1 wingman). You can still beat the game if you don't save the Ralari, but it will take a bit longer. You should still try to beat...

Very nice design, which features my all time favourite ship: the Excalibur. :) I actually like this design more than the current covers of my wing comander CD cases. One thing I noticed: when you said wing commander was "released back in 1992," if you were talking about the original wing...

Ok then, I'll have to give it another go next time I get round to playing privateer. I don't care much for pirates, they are cannon fodder anyway, but I really need to sweet talk the bounty hunters as they got pissed at me after shooting them down in the Lynn Murphy missions, and those demons...

I believe that would be this thread: http://www.crius.net/zone/showthread.php?t=16706

That Minx was one weird lady. The way she stood there and acted made her seem more like a hooker than a pilot. I was hoping Angel would find out she was hitting on Blair and slap her. Does that actually work? They always seemed to threaten to make me suck void no matter what I said to them.

The thing that is great about wing commander is how it immerses you into the universe. But if I had to pick my favourite things about each game: WC1 - I really liked the great characterisation of this game, as you really got know the other pilots. When my wingman died during a mission, I...

If you don't want to use the autopilot trick, then flying to the Ralari manually (without autopilot) also helps since when you get there, the Gratha are slightly further away, so you have more time to react. Once you get there, you have to immediately tell Bossman to attack, as that occupies one...

Ooooh, I'm liking this. All the details on this ship remind me so much of the flight deck from the Victory, which is hopefully what you were trying to do considering they are both rangers (I assume this ship is a ranger). How will landing work in this game? In freespace you always intitiated...

Awesome. How did I miss this earlier? I too lost my kilrathi saga manual. I have every other wing commander manual from WC1 to WCP so this completes the set. Thanks a lot.
