    Gotta love that Matter/Anti-Matter Power Plant, Unlimited Afterburners.

    Wing Commander Meme of the Day: See Nobody Cares (April 29, 2018)

    Agreed, The X-Wing series is a good one. X-Wing Alliance is up there as one of my all-time favourites as far as space sims go.

    Wing Commander Meme of the Day: See Nobody Cares (April 29, 2018)

    Having played both Wing Commander, and the X-Wing Series, I can easily say that I felt more engaged with Wing Commander.

    The Balance of Power in WC

    Having just completed a playthrough of WC3 I would say that the F-103 Excalibur's main mission is indeed that of a Space Superiority Fighter. That being said however it can make an effective strike craft with its gun loadout of Four Tachyon Cannons, and Two Reaper Cannons along with 12 missile...

    Wing Commander Meme of the Day: Distracted Boyfriend (April 6, 2018)

    I started with WC2 in the summer of 96, so Concordia was my first, and always has a special place in my heart. The Victory wasn't flashy but she was the Carrier we needed her to be. When the chips were down Tin Can Sally was there. The Tiger's Claw was A legend in the war thanks to the...

    Wing Commander Meme of the Day: Y U No (April 17, 2018)

    I think even more frustrating was having concrete evidence, and then the flight recorder goes blewie. Bane of my existence in WC2 along with a certain Mandarin, and the Epee.

    Re-watching original Battlestar on MeTV

    Right, Adama however still wasn't keen on the plan to attack Gamoray, and tried to have Pegasus share some of its fuel with the rest of the fleet. Meanwhile at the same time relieving Cain of his command nearly triggering a mutiny.

    Re-watching original Battlestar on MeTV

    That is a good two part episode. If I recall Cain was a bit of a maverick along the lines of Mad Max Kruger. Brilliant Tactician but stubborn as hell when it came to getting his way.

    Port Side Gallery: Wing Commander III 3DO UI (April 30, 2017)

    I think the one mission where it would have made sense to use the Leech Missiles in Wing Commander III The Heart of the Tiger would have been Mission 3 in Torgo where you need to disable the Kilrathi Fuel Transports to refuel the Behemoth. Instead you just use regular guns until the fighter's...

    Port Side Gallery: Wing Commander III 3DO UI (April 30, 2017)

    I tended to use leech missiles the most playing Wing Commander IV the Price of Freedom. Leeching the Border Worlds Cruiser Squadron in the second Masa System mission, and the Lexington during the run for the back door jump point. It was a nice option to have as it always felt wrong for me...

    KSP A-14 Raptor

    The Raptor was known for being a bit sluggish handling wise, but it wasn't as bad as the Scimitar. Looks good Shaggy.

    Well if memory serves, someone on the CIC forums once mentioned that the Gunstar was the inspiration behind the Raptor.

    I believe the object between the TARDIS and Gunstar is a Sayan Space Pod from Dragon Ball Z.

    What if the "WC: Standoff" best ending happened?

    I believe that it took around ten years or so to design and build the behemoth based on the briefing that Tolwyn gives you during the Torgo 1 mission "After a decade of secret research and development, Our greatest minds have developed the weapon that will spell doom to the Kilrathi." Which...

    What if the "WC: Standoff" best ending happened?

    In the case of Behemoth, the final straw that led to its early deployment was that it was Tolwyn's attempt at winning the war before the Belisarius group could successfully attempt a coup d'etat against the civilian government. Even with the good ending Belisarius group would most likely...
