This mission shouldn't be impossible. It's been awhile since I played P2, but I seem to recall being able to finish that mission successfully.

Right. Which is why, if you were in that position, you wouldn't be the one deciding whether or not the carrier should come to recover you.

Ebay is a good place to look. Insofar as running them is concerned... Maybe try downloading DOSBox? DOSBox works for running the early Wing Commander games.

The more I see, the more I want to play. I've tried using Freelancer to get my Privateer style game fix in. But, for some reason, I've just never found Freelancer to be as appealing as the original Privateer.

Just watched the videos. This thing looks really, really cool. Can't wait to play it!

What kind of joystick are you using? I hooked my old Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback Pro up after I decided to start playing Wing Commander again. It worked fine for a few days, then it stopped working all together. Windows wouldn't even show it as being connected to the computer. I...

Anyone who's a Wing Commander fan should read the novels. End Run is my favorite, but they're all really good. I still remember dragging my WC novels to school with me, so I could read them during study hall. Who cares if people make fun of you, so long as you're enjoying yourself? :p...

Wing Commander II. There are two Wing Commander games that have some atmospheric combat missions: Wing Commander III and Wing Commander IV.

Yeah, the reference to WC IV stood out. I thought that perhaps it was a typo, and they meant to say WC III. I'm not sure I agree. It kinda makes Chris Roberts look like a dick, which is why I was concerned about it. If it's not true, it shouldn't be in there. I know not to take...

I was browsing Wikipedia the other day, and I found this article on Chris Roberts. One part of the article, in particular, caught my attention: Does anyone know if this story is accurate? I suppose it could be... But the fact that no sources are cited for it makes me somewhat suspicious.

Really, it just comes down to a matter of personal preference. I can understand why some people wouldn't care about the cockpits, but I always enjoyed them because I felt as though they somehow helped pull me into the game a little more. I'm not sure this is necessarily a good reason to...

I never turned off the cockpit when I had the option, and I really missed the cockpits when WC IV got rid of them.

Yes, I beleive Captain Kielbasa is who they were referring to. Here's hoping that a WC collection gets released sometime soon. Very sad story: I asked for the Kilrathi Saga for Christmas after it came out, but my Dad didn't get around to trying to buy it until there were no more remaining...

Yes, but keep in mind... People have different expectations for a release from a major gaming company - even the release of a re-make - than they do from a fan project. I think tacking on old animations to a new engine would stand out a lot more in a game officially released by EA than it would...

Fair enough. In that case, I wish there had been a few more missions during WC IV. It's a really fun game to play, but whenever I finish it I'm always left feeling that it was over too soon. On the other hand, perhaps that's appropriate. I believe the events of WC IV took place over a...

Read a little bit of it a few hours ago, and the whole planet based Nephele squadron thing seems interesting. Part of me wishes it had made it into the final game. Maybe it's just me, but WC IV always seemed too short, somehow. Anyway, thanks to Cpl_Hades for finding this, and thanks to...

Just find an old copy of Sim Farm and pretend it's set on another planet. Seriously though... I wouldn't mind having another game set during the Kilrathi war. Nor would I mind the chance to play on the Kilrathi side. But, all things being equal, I think I'd rather play as Confed. I'd be...

I don't care about the graphics. What counts is whether or not the game does a good job at pulling you in, making you care about your character and the other characters, and what happens next in the plot. All of the Wing Commander games have done very well with that. Graphics are simply...

That losing path statement can be considered questionable, for reasons beyond Iceman. Most notably, Blair lists Hunter as having been killed. However, this most certainly can't be the case. Hunter shows up alive and well in Wing Commander: Fleet Action, one of the Forstchen novels that is...

I, too, know several people who still play Civ2. A friend of mine from High School has played Civ 2 consistently since it was originally released. He just stuck with Civ 2 instead of buying Civ 3, and he only very recently purchased Civ IV. Personally, I prefer Civ III and Civ IV over the...
