Fighters Oh those things. Never watched them. Can't stand cartoons. Using the concentric circle analogy I mentioned earlier, those cartoons must be right on the outside.

Fighters They are? I can't remember any reference to them. The first I've come across them is in WC2

Fighters They could be; but its fun to try and work out a logical progression of design families. Most real-world designs build on ones that have gone before so its not entirely outrageous to try to look for links. Unfortunately, if we go by appearances, the closest resemblance to a Gratha is...

War's End etc My bad; I checked Victory Streaks last night and it is definately 2669. Sorry about that (hey look, I'm working with US defense budget residuals from FY02, the FY03 budget process, the proposed FY04 and FY05 budgets and forward costings for years up to FY13; I'm having a hard time...

Re: Re: Potential Privateer 3 I work in the defense industry........ Answer? I don't know. It depends on how much EA want for the rights. If they still have the rights - and when the copyright expires. I've got to talk to lawyers and accountants. I'd also have to hire somebody to do the...

Pr-2 Are you sure? I know Privateer is 2669 with RF being a year later and the Kilrathi War is still going on then. Its been a long time since I looked at WC3 but I'm fairly certain that was set in 2672. On the other hand, I may be wrong there. No matter, the idea would be to set the new...

Potential Privateer 3 Probably about two years afterwards IIRC, Privateer I is set in 2669 and Righteous Fire a year afterwards (2670). The Kilrathi War ended (again IIRC) 2672. So Privateer 3 would be set in the period roughly around that time with news of the destruction of Kilrah coming in...

Pr-3 I was discussing the possibility of an enhanced development of Privateer 1 in another string; once I get disentangled from the FY03 and FY04 US defense budgets, I intend to explore whats involved in buying the rights to Privateer 1 . Privateer 3 I have in mind as a version of Privateer...

Pr-2 It would have to be a very wide seperation both in time and in space. to accommodate the wide differences. The difference in the movement system alone is enough to give serious configuration problems (which is a great pity because there are many good things in Privateer 2 - as a game I...

Synchronicity Ghost; I really do not understand what you hope to achieve by failing to maintain reasonable standards of courtesy. What is being attempted here is to establish a self-consistent universe for Wing Commander . It doesn't matter what technical standards are used in the games or...

Synchronicity May I suggest the simplest way around this problem is to assume that The Film That Dare Not Speak Its Name is fiction made in the Wing Commander Universe for the Wing Commander Universe and depicts a fictional adventure by the Tiger's Claw made for the civilian population. That...

New Privateer I'm not sure if that's the case. After the disaster of Privateer II and The Movie That Dare Not Speak Its Name, EA may have decided that the whole Wing Commander franchise is more trouble than its worth. They may be more receptive to somebody taking it off their hands than still...

New Privateer I've thought much along the same lines myself. Take the basic mechanics of Privateer/Righteous Fire, mate it with the large-area map that came with Prophecy and set it in the dying days of the Kilrathi War. Logically, the concentration of the Kilrathi fleet around Kilrah would...

Galaxy Turrets I must admit, I've never managed to get the turrets on a Galaxy (or any other turret-equipped bird) to do anything useful. I've certainly never seen them fire by themselves. These days I just have one turret installed for the tractor beam and thats it. Anything more isn't cost...
