It would be nice to see something like the TIE Fighter total conversion for X-Wing Alliance - they took all the TIE Fighter missions and recreated them in the modern game engine, and then during the install process you stick in your TIE Fighter discs (or CD's) and it uses the audio files from...

So sorry LOAF, I looked for the original conversation we had about this (I remember you saying almost exactly what you said above) but I just couldn't find it. In regards to that separate project - was that a WC project? Or was it something else? Because the Plunkett seems to fit nicely in with...

You should also look at this thread here: http://www.crius.net/zone/showthread.php?t=19037&highlight=murphy-class If I recall from another conversation with LOAF the Murphy was not - as is implied in this thread - create for WCSO, but instead was a separate creation that just happened to fill...

That's interesting that it specifies Humans.

I don't think that was their intention with Red Alert 2 at all. You're making it sound like they didn't care, but I think the game universe speaks for itself - there is an incredible amount of story and characters revealed in RA2, and if they really didn't care and so just made it campy because...

That's...kinda the point of RA2 though, it's supposed to be campy. It's part of the charm. I think RA2 did some really great things with their FMV - you only see the characters two or three times total for only seconds at a time but the over abundance of their personalities really makes it clear...

Something that I have discovered is that my somewhat looser MS Sidewinder (not the force feedback model) works better for the Star Wars games, but that anything with a twist access and more buttons works better for Wing Commander and other flight simulator games (like Falcon 4.0 or Starlancer)...

I really couldn't agree more - my buddy has a TM HOTAS setup (I'm not sure which one though) and I have a Saitek X-52, and after coming back from LAN night at his house I feel like I'm going to break my sticks just by looking at them. Saitek products are for casual enthusiasts, that's for sure...

Well I really couldn't disagree more, at some point you have to take into consideration the energy constraints for opening a jump point, and holding it open, and realize that every second that passes (which is going to be necessarily longer for a bigger ship) the energy needed scales up and the...

I would suspect after 40 years of constant warfare their quiet reserved officers would be somewhat in short supply. On that note, are there ever any Terran casualty statistics for the Kilrathi war? I've seen some discussion about the Kilrathi side of things in relation to why it was so high...

Wow, I have new found respect for the Piranha. I could be wrong, but isn't there a sequence in WCP where we see the Midway open a jump point and a bunch of fighters fly through it as the ship is passing through it? Or was that WCIV?

Yeah that's kinda what I thought - so many people love so much about the game, it can't really be all that bad, can it? Then again, there's also HALO...

I am interested in getting X3 only because it supports multi-monitors (I think Dual?). I understand that it's a niche gaming market, but it would be nice to have additional screen space with alot of the games I play.

:) That's why I specified Earth Humans in my post.

Ugh, reminds me of the Trirme unit from Civilization!

I agree, in that context it's not close at all - but you left out the part where in it's final moments the surviving members of earth's humanity were finally united as one people. After playing through the Starlancer plot line it was nice to see that even though both sides lost there was at...

Really, this is an apples and oranges fight. The tactics and flight style are night and day here, two completely different ways of playing two completely different games. If you want to do comparisons just keep it to the tech stuff - anything WC did X-Wing should have been able to do too...

I think this is the one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RsWPFUzxgRU EDIT: I can say though, I did think the single player story was enhanced by the sudden revelation in the middle of the game, more so then if I had seen this original video and been anticipating their reveal at some point in...

I agree with this completely - the ships and their markings and textures in WC far exceeded whatever the X-Wing series managed to do (up until X-Wing Alliance) even in the early games, WC1+2. They always felt more like naval ships in space. The thing about the polygonal engine is that all the...

Could this be something to do with how standoff stores passwords for the scoreboard?
