Well, what about those buoys, then? Can't it be programmed that Ctrl C makes the screen go a different colour, nullify weapons and make enemy ships not track you. A sneaky way would be to make all ships think that you are friendly and so let you go by. And imitation cloak - like Die Another...

I reckon it would be cool if it was some sort of drug like "magic potion" in the Asterix comics. Become a super human! Although I doubt it would increase a pilot's ability to fly better - makes the person super human, not the ship a super ship.

Well, what is quicker to do? You can either take the long way of searching for old threads on the subject and no one knows about it and so doesn't shout at you, or you can take the easy way of starting a new thread and get whined at by older users because they've already talked about the thread...

And I keep forgetting to log in!

Forever be destroyed, as long as I'm in an opposing cockpit. I'd prefer the Dragon, but anything with cloak and autoguns and autoslide will do me fine

So, what type of drug is Brilliance? What does it do? Make the user start acting liking Maniac? Is that the reason why he is the way he is? :)

I have got to admit, that for a fan project, this game is really good. I'll start with what I didn't like first so that I end on a good note. My main complaint would be that the Dauntless' shields are too big - in that even though I may be about a thousand clicks out from her, when I start...

I'll add that to my Christmas list. As well as finding my copy of Wing Commander 1...

I reckon anything with a decent long range ability as well as tough enough shields and armour and the ability to take out medium to large cap ships would be great. So I'd take the Dragon, although I have to admit that it's firepower isn't that crash hot, except for that fission stuff but there...

*Sigh* Is there a point to anything? We all die in the end...what IS the meaning of life?

Morale in WCP? Dallas? It doesn't matter with Dallas much because he dies anyway...Just fly the mission with smart toggle off and keep a lock on Dallas and wait for his ship to break up for no apparent reason. I don't think that morale ever made a difference with obedience in Wc3 and Wc4...

Maybe, although I don't recommend doing that for the Midway. Flying in a Vampire at 1500 clicks a second would make it quite a few kilometres long

If you keep turning and using your AB you shouldn't get hit 3 times...

I'd have to agree with Hotwing about watching Thrakhath kill Angel and then destroying his ship and then making it back to the Victory. Then any moment in Wc3 or Wc4 where there was a multitude of ships to destroy and I'm flying the Excalibur or Dragon. That's why I love the Gauntlet in WcP...

Also, in addition to someone's comments about writing a will when taking out WCP Kilrathi corvettes if you don't have autoslide, and you've destroyed all the fighters and you're in a bomber, go out of turret range (about 10 000 clicks) stop the ship, turn around so the corvette will be chasing...

In Wc3 I would actually rate the Kilrathi corvettes the third hardest capship to beat. Obviously the first would be the dreadnaught and the second hardest the cruisers. I never really experimented with the autoslide enough to take out the corvettes, but always flew behind the corvette at least...

That's actually a good idea...having kamikaze pilots - it would make it a whole heap harder too...Having to chase down bombers, cap mis AND kamikaze! I always took the rock ships to be pretty succesful with the amount of trouble I had with them...The big armour, the mines, the guns (were they...

Fighter: Dragon - I really can't get past the big guns, formidable shields, hefty missile loadout and of course the cloak. The Thunderbolt's big guns were also very nice... Bomber: Longbow - The Border Worlds bomber was also very nice, because it seemed to cut a Longbow to shreads, but I think...

Remora Ace...hehehe - I really don't get the point of those things, except for easy kills. And it can be rather hard trying to ram into the Remoras - I always switch to my quickest gun to take them out And I wonder what happened to the Kilrathi rock ships, why Confed never bothered building...

I always avoided flying with Maniac in Wc3. And Flash. Only because I was greedy and wanted a higher kill count - but I suppose now that flying with them would make it more of a challenge to actually get the kills In Wc4 Maniac was tolerable only on difficult missions or when it was...
