No problem. I, Mad Cow, intentionally and cold-bloodedly bumped a year old thread that did not need to be bumped. While I do not consider myself an assclown, this was certainly an act of assclownishness which, in retrospect, I regret dearly. I throw myself at the mercy of the Wing...

D'oh... oh well. So, any idea on what the duration of the sentence is? (Btw, I apologize to the whole forum both for bumping the thread as well as how long even very short posts will be due to the avatar).

LOL...damn, I expected to get yelled at, but you all don't mess around. Anyhow, lay it on me. I know I've got it coming.

Yep, that's the one I was thinking about. Guess I got my wires crossed on the magazine. Thanks for the link.

Right. I know that all non-UO projects were cancelled a long time, although I was wrong about the buyout date. I just wanted to know if Origin had released any promotional material or anything for this game before the project was cancelled.

I know I'm probably going to get yelled at, warned, whatever for this, but after seeing the super polymer missles reference in the 'decoy ships' thread, I had to find out what it meant. After reading this, I just knew it had to be bumped to be appreciated by a new generation of forum browsers...

Someone mentioned something about another Privateer game, and it got me thinking about a PC Gamer story I read about Privateer 3. Basically, this may have been before EA bought Origin, but I suppose the project got cancelled anyway. P3 was supposed to be set back in the 'real' WC universe, and I...

You're all wrong. It actually turns out that the Kilrathi were just huge Redskins fans. ;)

I was thinking about a Thrustmaster F22 Pro. The only thing is that I don't know how to program and unfortunately, that joystick doesn't have a simple GUI for programming. I like Thrustmasters and I'd love to have a higher end one, but frankly, I'm intimidated by trying to map functions to...

My venerable Thrustmaster FCS finally kicked the bucket last night and I'm shopping for joysticks. I'm thinking about getting a joystick throttle combination and I'm wondering if Wing Commander (K-Saga, IV, and Proph) support a throttle? Anyone have any experience with this?

Rommel? Nah... I'm thinking... Space Marshal Lee, with Admirals Rommel, Patton, and Jackson leading forward units.

This makes me sad. I'm wish I knew girls in real life who liked to talk about Wing Commander. My love life would definitely pick up more. ;)

My guess is that EA is sitting on the property until another publisher puts out a space combat sim that's a hit. Then, they'll push something out and all of us WC geeks will run out to get it just on the strength of the brand although it probably won't be a good game. ::sigh::

Ah... I'm going to have to get these books.

Speaking of carriers, though, anyone care to conjecture a lifespan date for Ranger-class carriers? The ships database here says that the Victory was slated to be retired in the 2660s, and going by the only standard I have (the U.S. Navy), the lifespan of a carrier is somewhere around 50 years...

Mmm...SWEET! Thanks. :)

Is there anyway to get versions of SM or SO that will work with Kilrathi Saga? I came to Wing Commander late. My first game was WC4, and I bought Kilrathi Saga shortly thereafter. I also have both P1 and P2. Here are my problems. I used to have a P1 system which was fine for the whole WC...

No, I'd think there'd have to be at least one Doctor onboard. The Victory, as small as it is, probably still has a crew of at least 150. I'm sure that many people would warrant at least a general practioner.

I should've been more specific in my definition of WC2 era support craft. My guess is that in addition to the strike element of four broadswords, there would also be perhaps two more broadswords, one retrofitted as an SAR platform, the other as an SWACS. Then perhaps two basic cargo shuttles and...

On the obsolescence of the Bengal-class, I apologize. I had interpreted the various runs as a life-extending refits of existing carriers as opposed to construction of new ships (such as the Arleigh Burke IIA). Another question, though, assuming that in the 2660-66 era that the Ranger-class...
