I don't really understand this post. The Force Unleashed destroyed the Expanded Universe. How can the Expanded Universe somehow have done more damage?

It's funny because I always thought the amount of story in WC4 was just perfect for the Wing Commander universe. It was (I feel) one of the richest WC games in terms of story. And I didn't like the story balance in Prophecy as much (though I still very much like the game) because there wasn't...

No no, I actually rather like the way you have it set up. I think it makes alot more sense. I was just saying.

I was rather under the impression that the part being hoisted was the individual missile itself, not the entire locker (which is how modern carriers operate).

I believe there is a HUD Icon that tells you when you are being targeted, and it disappears when the gun no longer has LOS to you.

This is entirely optional - I dislike the ridiculously lightly armed cloaking craft in Starlancer, and so I always flew the heaviest meatiest fighter I could and I did just fine running out of range (it's worth noting too that on the last mission you could hide behind parts of the station, and...

I dunno, you could set it up so it was a mechanical cloak (IE sensors) but not a visual cloak. I believe that's how TIE fighter set it up. Then you could have the AI only engage craft that were logically in a cone within visual range. But like you said the 'hide and recharge' strategy makes...

Really? It does?

We could always write off the film in the same vein as Action Stations - a fictional attempt to tell a story with some severe design liberties.

At first I was going to mention that the idea that a refit could completely alter the look and shape and feel of a ship was silly, but then I remember the inclusion of things like Hurricane Bows and Angled Flight decks on World War II aircraft carriers and realized that if someone want to...

Does that mean that both Roberts and Robert's would become canon?

This is like telling someone to buy Yahoo Stock. This is a brilliant well educated statement in the year 2010 when Video games are doing billions of dollars business, but when WC1 was in development, how much of a commercial asset do you think a Video game was? No one back then could have...

Awesome! Now scan the next 652 pages! ...just kidding. There are probably some serious legal issues there.

16 mission story? For real? And let's see, if it's authentic and you get what, like 8 missiles per mission, that's like six minutes of combat game play per mission? An hour and a half of gameplay? How do they think they can pitch a war with that complex of a back story into just 16 missions...

I think it's just as hard. I read/write data to my hard drives so often that I'm replacing at least one a year (Between four development machines with a total of about 6 hard drives). The lifespan of a hard drive is only about four years of day-to-day use and I'm much harder on my...

You know I've read dozens of books about software engineering and I don't think any of them managed to make the explanation that simple.

I would say WCP: Secret Ops, which somehow was left off your list. The idea of an episodic come back every week for new stuff and use pass codes to get new stuff out of the website system is pretty damned cool to me.

Is this maybe going to help us put a "This day in history" box on the front page? That was always one of the coolest parts of the WC Encyclopedia. On that note, how do we enter the Handbook timeline entires? They are somewhat contradictory and I know we aren't supposed to try to explain or...
