    What is your favorite ship to fly off?

    Yup... Tigers Claw all the way. Strike Carrier, 100 fighters... mmmmmmmm.

    What was with the Waterloo?

    The other thing you have to realize is the ships in WC3 are, for the most part, pre-war ships. Victory is an old Ranger class carrier they pulled out of mothballs... It's quite possible (although LOAF will probably correct me here) that Coventry and the destroyers are also older designs. Pretty...

    To the UE team

    As of yet the VS engine has been quite underused... I'm waiting for someone to at least start a project that will use the engine to its full potential.

    To the UE team

    We asked for code a year (or two? lol, can't remember) ago, with 500 names on a petition backing it up. The truth of it is the WC1/2 engine code is either gone allthogether.. Even if we did have itm the initial programming was done by CR and from what I understand it's a real mess. As far...

    Original Wing Commander

    Building a 'retro gaming machine' can often be done for free. Go to the local elementary or high school, rummage through the basement, grab old 386, bingo...

    What one thing do you want to see most in UE2?

    Actually, yes, I can. Should be there by ~9:30 pm EST, I have to step out for a while now. As for the fiction viewing... Any way to hack up WCP to display HTML? Maybe have some kind of IE engine dynamically outputting to a .bmp?

    What one thing do you want to see most in UE2?

    Couldn't you write a program to generate the bitmaps with the users callsign in them once they enter the callsign..

    Built in fiction or 'talking heads' a la WC1/WC2 would go a long way. Leaving the game inbetween missions is a pain, but thats just me nitpicking about a 5/5 game :P The music is great but kind of...overly-MIDI like...sometimes. I have a SB Live! with the 1024 voice MIDI sets and they sound...

    What one thing do you want to see most in UE2?

    Cool! In-game fiction viewer would be great if you can get the bugs worked out. "Talking heads" a la WC1/2 would be a great addition if you could get people together for a photo shoot. You know what I think would be really cool (I'm not up on the WC mod scene so someone may be doing this...

    The TCS Concordia from WC2/WC3 cutscene was a Confederation-Class dreadnaught or some such designation (bigger then a carrier, can't remember exactly). The TCS Lexington in WC4 was a Concordia-Class carrier. Go figure.

    Just You Opinion

    Take a break, and revel in the fact that you have sustained the WC storyline for another game (in my opinion) despite EA's decision to stop making the games. It's just that good.

    I bet he's thinking a Confederation-Class ship like the Concordia in WC2 as opposed to a Concordia-Class ship like the Lexington.

    Mission 4 is HARD!

    yeah..... ...but I can't beat it! Not playing WC for a year has really hurt my skillz.

    Wow Great job guys! I've been watching and waiting for this mod for about three years.. From the original, defunct UE to the current iteration. Graphics.... Excellent. WC1 in 3D, with all the fluidness that WC1 (and the Vision engine) had. 1024x768*32... Personally I'd vie for a 1280x1024...

    Great Job Guys!

    Ooops. It's odd posting somewhere else other then the Motor City Online boards (thats what I've been up to the past year or so).

    UE is out

    Great I'm gonna savor every mission.. This game kicks ass! You put SO and even WCP to shame.. This really feels like the first "real" WC game since WC4.

    Great Job Guys!

    UE might as well become a part of the WC cannon for me.. The fiction is great (Squadron Commander Jumper, eh?), you've taken the engine far beyond our wildest dreams, the cutscenes are well done, the sound is great, music great.. Installed easily.. What more could I want? I'm glad you...
