Personally, I don't mind the movie that much, provided I watch it thinking that it isn't the Wing Commander universe we know. It's not Shakespeare, but it's not garbage IMO. Within the WC universe, some of the inconsistencies could be explained away as taking place on a different carrier...

I don't think your communications could ever be completely destroyed. I've been on the edge of death many times and my communications still worked (mind you it took about a million stabs at the "c" key to finally get something through, but it came through)

I didn't like the T-Bolt at all, she was too clunky for me. I much prefered the Hellcat and the arrows. The Excal though, man that thing kicked some serious butt (same as the Vampire in Prophecy), heavy guns and great manueverability.

I agree with this poster! You know something you're hiding from us! The people deserve to know!

Way to spoil the end! I'm reading through the novel right now! J/K, I've read it at least 5 or 6 times now, so no worries

Exactly, Wing Commander did an amazing job of making you connect with the characters and care for them enough that there were a lot of hard moments in the game when characters had to die or they turned traitor. That's the mark of good cinema, getting you to care about characters who don't...

Well, technically not specifically, they're scripted to be destroyed, but I've always thought that they were picked up by the Kilrathi, much like Blair was. Besides, if you take Maniac with you on the last mission, he can't die because he shows up in the next game (along with Vagabond)

Flash? He's not scripted to die, heck I've run the last mission with him a few times (the few times that I've picked Rachel over Flint (I never did like that choice because I had no interest in Rachel)). That being said, my final run was usually Flint, Maniac and Vagabond.

I'm sure all of us have stuff that we regret missing. When I first moved to a new city I went into the EB Games and spotted a CD Copy of Wing Commander 1: Deluxe Edition (The big blue boxed version, not the EA Classics version) and passed on it because I didn't have enough money..... wish I...

I'm getting more and more pessimistic by the day, just me by nature. I am holding onto a little shred of hope that something is being worked on that we don't know about yet in preparation of the 20th Anniversary of the series (A re-release of the film on DVD/Blu-ray with an extended edit...

Indeed it is, now if only the people making decisions saw those magazines... I, as undoubtedly 99% of you, have seen numerous articles (I've lost count) over the past year calling for a resurrection of the franchise, and many of them have raised great points as to why the franchise should be...

Ooo! Ooo! Taggart?...... No wait... that's not right.....

Torpedo runs were my favourites in WC2, paitently braving the flak, waiting for that lock, hoping your sheilds don't fail on you, getting the lock, waiting for the exact right moment to fire (if you were too far away the Torpedo would be knocked out by the flak), releasing and getting the hell...

Aren't light fighters always cannon fodder? That's how I always felt when flying Epee's :P

Prophecy was full of awesome stuff. I miss the days of new WCs to look forward to :(

Why you green-blooded, inhuman.... ;) Sorry, I still despise that scene because there's nothing I can do to save her :(

Wow! Cool to know that members of the development team post here! Very rarely does that happen, and does lend me hope that maybe, just maybe, if we were to get a new WC, that the developers would possibly come to the community for some suggestions. Regardless, it was my understanding that...

WC3 and WC4 were easily equals (only WC1 and WC2 are above them, and both of those are on the same level). The only thing I didn't like about WC4 was the lack of a cockpit. To me it deteriorated the realism a slight bit. I really liked the cockpits of WC1-WC3.

Going off of this, battles could be held in a constant stream. That is to say that you log on and wait a short time for a battle to begin (battles would begin at specific times, and are not dependant on how many players there are. Empty slots would be filled with AIers). Thus at 10:00 one...
