Just thought I'd see what people are looking for in the new game. To me, one of the most enjoyable aspects of Wing Commander has always been the terrific sound. Do you guys want the old themes to come back in some form? Is new music the way to go? Personally, I'd like to see some new takes...

Any XP users out there know who to disable those god damn pop-ups that come over MSN Messenger? I've been just closing them but they have gotten pretty bad the past week or so. I know there is some option to choose to stop them from coming, but I don't know where it is. I bet there are others on...

Just wondering how come using MyJemm with Privateer in XP with compatibility mode set to Win9x/Me doesn't work. I know it doesn't, but it seems odd that it doesn't. Common sense would dictate that since the compatibility sets it up like the old OS that MyJemm should work then. Does anyone know...

Anyone know if either of the Crusader games work in XP? I am just wondering because I haven't played the games in a long time and was gonna buy them again.

Just wondering if anybody has noticed the list at IGN.com. They are making a list of the top 100 games of all time for any platform, releasing 10 each day, counting down to number 1. WC2 made it as like 87 or something, but the little brief would seem to indicate that at least HoT is still to...

Hey guys, sorry to bring up an already over discussed problem/topic, but I need some help with getting Privateer to work. I have recently switched sound cards, and so now my boot disk that worked before with sound, works without sound now. I have tried to configure my auotexec.bat to use my new...

First off I think its funny that my birthday is the day after the CIC's. :cool: Although I am like 12 years older. Anyway- I got a gift certificate to amazon.com, and I am thinking of getting a bunch of WC books. So I just wanted to know what you guys think are the books I should get. I have...

Alright, my joystick has decided not to work all of a sudden. I think the problem may be with my computer or sound card. When I went to the calibration utility in Windows (I have 95), it went right through the calibration as if auto-fire is on. I have tried three joysticks and none work. If I...

When a fighter is referred to as "atmosphere capable" is that meaning that they can fight, bomb, launch missiles, etc. or does it simply mean that a ship can travel through the atmosphere? I was thinking about this cause we know there are some fighters that engage other ships in atmosphere (we...

If I can get the Armada DOS CD-ROM, will it work using a boot disk that I made for Privateer to run in DOS? I wasn't sure which section this belonged in (tech support or general chat), so sorry if I put it in the wrong place.

I was wondering about when, how, and why Origin sold out to EA. I guess they made an offer Origin couldn't refuse. But I am curious about the details involving their buyout.

I just finished Fleet Action and I had some questions about stuff in it. 1. What is the deal with the Mantu? Are they at all related to the Nephilium? They get made into a fairly large deal, so I am guessing they are important. 2. There is a reference to superweapon (a dreadnought with a...

I am thinking of buying Prophecy and I have a few questions about it: 1. Is it worth $50 to get Prophecy Gold? 2. Does it run well without 3D support? 3. Is the game enjoyable, and how does it compare to the other WC games? 4. Does it play well without a joystick (like WC3&4)? 5. Would it...

Ok, so I decided to play through SO2 once more for the hell of it and to try and get the second chance missions. I got through all the normal procedures and started the game. After talking to the Akko Station's comm officer, the game deletes and I go back to Windows. I tried it twice and both...

Ok, I have finished WC1 through SM2. I have the Kilrathi Saga version of the games. I want to transfer my character from SM2-WC2. When I get to the transfer a character screen in WC2, it lists only saved games from WC1, not either secret missions. How do I transfer from SM2 to WC2. Thx, Hobbie

Ok, I am trying to compile a list of all the weapons you can "earn" by beating certain missions. This is what I have: Lance, and everything that comes with it Coneburst/Starburst Mace Bearcat Doesn't seem like much. I am interested in finding out if anything else is available through...

Has anyone ever used these two missiles successfully? I can never hit anything with them. The one time I did was when I fired a coneburst at a frigate. It didn't do enough damage to be worth more than a dumbfire or IMRec that could have been in its place on my loadout. [Edited by Hobbie on...

Ok, playing through WC2 there is an obvious deconsistency with the Epee. Angel says in a briefing that it has one torpedo. When we fly the ship, we know it does not have a torpedo. Who do we believe? Also, if the Epee had a torpedo when we fly it and was sent on an attack mission, it might...

I just finished Fleet Action. I read that in the Battle of Earth (or in the Battle of Sirius, can't remember which) the Lexington succumbed to internal fires. Is this the same Lexington that we fly on in WC IV? Or was another ship built? Also, did Blair ever serve on the Tarawa?

I am trying to find out where mission trees for WC IV and WC III are. If anyone knows where any are that would be great, I am trying to find out missions that I haven't flown so I can fly them :) . Please don't say to look in the links, I have already tried. Thanks.
