I have a friend who works at the new B&N that's stocking some new novels, I'm going to ask him if he can find out where they came from. I'm curious to know now.

There's two Barnes and Nobels around here, one of them has a copy of the movie novel and Pilgrim Stars, and the other has two copies of Freedom Flight and one copy of Fleet Action, all new, within the last month. What's more interesting to me is that I've actually seen the books change...

What part of the timeline are you referring to here with the one year reference, Wedge? Was that the armistice and the subsequent Temblor bomb attack?

You know you're a parent when... ...the first thing you see in the DragonCon group photos is the toddler toys in someones living room that are sitting on the desk next to you.

Yeah this is pretty much what I imagined.

I don't know that it works to say that the skyhook is a space elevator. From the descriptions in the book (which I've been exclusively reading over for the last several weeks) it seems to be a much more rigid structure, as opposed to a bunch of cables for transport of goods/people/energy...

I felt the same way, and it was easy to see the practical applications of Math compared to the practical applications of, I don't know, High School Chemistry. (Which is really just math with letters!)

You should be thanking Thomas Bruckner, I think he's the one that made the editor. And barring that, you should be thanking Quarto and Eddie who have provided me with endless hours of knowledge answer the most mundane and stupid of questions about WCSO editing.

If I understand things correctly it can, but I think you have to extract all the TRE files first. There are other ways to look at the stats on the models using some of the other tools but I don't recall them off hand.

What about LOAF's excel spreadsheet that breaks down all the fighter stats?

In hindsight, I really want to try flying across the universe in 48 hours sometime.

Well I knew that (or at least assumed it). And given the WCM footage in Starlancer I really shouldn't have been surprised.

Yes, and the last one is Maniac, so isn't that appropriate? Didn't he stay to cover Blair while Blair carried the bomb in?

That carrier looks so much like that one from Starlancer! I know I'm probably in the minority here but I really loved the look of the P2 ships.

Yes I'm with Wedge on this one. I remember distinctly my first play through of the end of the Game because I had just finished the novel where it was implied that they survived and might have died, so I made extra extra extra sure that they stayed alive to dock at each station...and then I...

I always felt like the WC4 intro was to long already. First we have to establish how far Blair has fallen, then we have the bar fight, then we have to establish that Maniac hasn't changed in four games and two expansions, then we have the pirate fight, then a random station gets blown up that's...

They disappear along the way, you lose one at each 'station' that you dock at.

I dunno. I've actually been wondering if Blair would even NEED to be converted or invested to work with the Nephilim. LOAF was talking in another thread about Blair's inherent curiosity with the Nephilim and their acceptance of him despite what he did to the Kilrathi and how he would probably...

Or SHOULD you because he might be cure-able? Beside the fact that he's your friend!

The intention here at least was to create a new character that could help new players get more comfortable with the established universe. As a WC Player it's great for YOU to play as Blair again, but as Joe Nobody whose never played Wing Commander....Who the hell is this old fart in my fighter...
