Wedge009: You make a very good point. That is why some games are good and some are bad. Ones that are too hard or too easy are never popular (with a few exceptions). I think that this is more important than game design or graphics.

Oh come on, when you first played any of the games don't tell me you didn't have a problem with at least one mission (for me it was Save the Ralari). Unless you have some kind of very superior gaming skills, you can't just jump in and beat every mission (no comment on WC2, however- that was one...

I ment the hardest to complete, but usually (like Mad Hatter said) they go hand in hand. Like the SO1 final mission is extremely tough to survive AND to win. I remember the SO2 mission Nighthawk was talking about. At least in that mission you could knock out a Fralthra with the Mace immediately...

POLL: What is the hardest mission in all of the Wing Commander games? My vote goes to the Wc2, SO1 last mission where you have to nail the Fralthra with seven Gothri.

Yeah well I always get nailed in a sabre, rapier, or epee. I make it back, but heavily damaged. Yesterday I flew the mission in WC2 where you have to escort the Tell to kill a Ralagtha. Grikath are attacking on launch and of course Stingray is gone immediately and I ahve to deal with five...

Thanks for your help, as that fixed it!

Personally, I hated the Sabre. I thought it was wayyyy too weak and the guns sucked. The only good thing about was that it had lots of missiles. The Ferret could take a beating for a fighter it's size. I had an Epee blow up after one missile hit at full shields. The WC2 Rapier was by far the...

Well, I managed to get the game going by using a shortcut and modifying the config,sys and autoexec.bat. I copied the lines for the sound card on autoexec.bat though. The [problem was that I got a sound configuation error when I start the game and it won't start.

My sound card came with my computer so I don't have a cd.

I got the game running, but the sound doesn't work. How do I fix the drivers so that the sound will work? Thanks.

Alright, I have just purchased the Gold edition of Privateer. I popped the cd in my computer and the auto-run came on. I clicked on install and I got an error message. "This program has performed an illegal operation, etc. Then I made a boot disk and treid to run in Dos. Not enough DOS memory no...

Well, a few things. First you can check the menu inflight to see if you completed the mission. Also, if you land after you pick up cargo but before you deliver it, the mission is lost. You might want to check again and make sure you didn't get paid, I have never heard of that. How did you get...

nope, it was a different page

I found a nice page with information on cargo, weapons, planets, ships, etc. and how to use this stuff, somewhere on the links page about 2 months ago, and now I can't find it. I just got the game and wanted to know if anyone remembers the address for the page. It had green type against black...

Speaking of Privateer cheats, isn't there one that gives you a Centurion and lots of credits? If someone knows it, it could be added to the CIC's list of cheats.
