    Thanks again to all readers and commenters. Though it’s only a few lines, I should point out for disclaimer purposes that a part of this chapter is taken from the WC3 script. You’ll know it when you see it. Chapter 17: Bar fight Razor’s perspective Oasis station was aptly named...

    Strike with Daring, Episode 1: Incursions.

    Looks good so far. I look forward to seeing more. I can't help but wonder if your main character will soon regret getting the carrier posting.

    I didn’t notice the contact behind us until it was too late. Up until now, 1st Lieutenant Kate Wang had been faring better then me and Tieschowitz, at least that’s what I’d assume. From what I’d seen in the fleeting instants when she appeared in my VDU, she’d had far better luck dodging the...

    Thanks again to all readers and commenters, and thanks to whoever it was who put the notice about Front lines on the daily wcnews bulletin. That was a surprising thing to see to say the least. Chapter 16: Goliath, part two Adish’s perspective We lost two men before we even got in line...

    This is kind of wing commander related

    wise advice, i was hoping to avoid having to reinstall however as it would mean digging around dusty cupboards for a cd which may or may not exist as the program came with the computer. Still, its for the greater good. Thanks to all and as promised, here are two funny, imho, pictures...

    Yeah, the media player itself is fine.

    This is kind of wing commander related

    Basically, windows movie maker on my pc is kaput. This has happened at the worst possible time since i had a stroke of inspiration for a new wing commander music video. Basically, the thing is no longer accepting WMVs or AVI's, or anything for that matter. It gives me an error message saying...

    It seemed to work, no sooner were the words out then I, and presumably everyone else found a snarling Kilrathi face on our com screen. It wasn’t wearing a helmet. My guess was that it was the C.O of the H’varkann. For a while I thought it was Prince Thrakhath, as it turns out, I wasn’t. After a...

    Thanks again to all readers and commenters, in response to Kilrah’s comment, I had thought about making an audio book for this story, complete with sound effects, music, dramatic voices and so forth, unfortunately that’s going to be very difficult to pull off at the moment. Animations and movies...

    Foolish Cruisers

    Well i did say it required imagination, (and that it was probably a blurry looking Sheffield class destroyer after all). I didn't actually believe that the programmers had designed in a new class of carrier for a three second appearance. In other words, it was a joke/insincere statement. EDIT...

    Foolish Cruisers

    *Sigh* I never said i could tell, i said it looks like. (And i'm going by the one shown on tactics.solsector.net. which looks like a squashed sheffield cruiser, (at least from the back and at a large distance, sort of)), which is probably what is in the picture if you want to be...

    Foolish Cruisers

    Hmm, so far i've counted 3 upside down rangers and something that might be the TCS Coral Sea, or probably just a blurry sheffield destroyer.

    How do I land on the bloody carrier

    Hmm, now that i think about it, i believe that there was another angle, kind of a mix of the middle and top right picture, you could land facing that. Then again it was 12 years ago. All these pixelated angles made no sense to my 6 year old brain. Either way its better to stick with the top...

    Foolish Cruisers

    I know this isn't the world's greatest picture but if you look closely, (or find a larger one), you can see that a number of the Talahassee class cruisers are upside down. Why is this? Theories anyone?

    “Do you want to know what I’ve seen out there?” I croaked. He remained silent. The spear still didn’t move. “You can talk all you want about your glorious hunters, but I’ve seen no shortage of your kind ejecting when things get too hot. I’ve seen them retreat too, resort to the same...

    Be forewarned, this chapter is very unpleasant and not for the faint of heart or stomach. Chapter 14: Lion’s Den Torrent’s perspective In retrospect, maybe I should have died. I must have said that to myself a hundred times in that room. It some miniscule segment of humour that reassured an...

    How do I land on the bloody carrier

    Ah many a happy time i remember in my childhood where i'd try to land by coming up from the bottom, or find myself stuck behind the engines. Another problem i had was that i got it into my head that you had to reduce speed to 20KPS to land, (which took a while). Oh well, enough...

    “Die you worthless scum!” Screamed the pilot behind me. His voice was filled with raw, seemingly unfocused rage, although why he should be so angry was somewhat confusing, his side wasn’t too badly beaten in this battle, (neither was ours), I hadn’t given him too much grief and I hadn’t evaded...

    Thanks again to all readers and to Kilrah and Paragon for commenting. I’m glad you’ve enjoyed thus far. Considering I’m hoping to get a few stories of this genre published in later life it was very reassuring, and encouraging to see the words ‘That being said, your "Front Lines" is one of the...
