    Learn About Privateer's Background Vehicles (February 24, 2024)

    Took a while to remember a login I haven't used in years... The New Constantinople CAR model(s) - they remind me of Total Recall Johnny Cabs. Something about the front?

    Chris Roberts derailed Wing Commander?

    Not sure if that was targeted at me or the OP's quote Bandit LOAF? :confused: I just recall being disappointed the second time exploring the Confed choice (which seemed pretty significant for the game) only to run against a brick wall a couple of missions later.

    Chris Roberts derailed Wing Commander?

    ...still... would have enjoyed playing a full fledged Confed campaign in WCIV. It would have been an interesting juxtaposition to play it from the Confed POV, that the BW keep doing 'bad things' building up to the invasion fleet. Not an overt 'Confed invades' and you are a bad guy, but a true...

    Saving a Dragon!

    Historic Experiment Remembered with Secret Ops Anniversary (October 8, 2014)

    Downloading that file on dialup - and this was before I found out about DL managers.... <shudder> First night was aborted after a couple of hours... Second night died somewhere in the last 20Mb or so in the wee hours of the morning... The morning of the fourth day dawned, and lo! Life was...

    Escapist's Not Feeling Privateer (July 21, 2014)

    While WC1 was the first series game I saw (brother of a girlfriend was playing it one time I was... err... visiting their parent's house.. yeah), Privateer was the first in the series I actually played. Coming new to PCs off the back of my parent's C64, I grew up a big fan of the C64's Elite...

    Star Citizen Grey Market

    Personally, notwithstanding everything else, I do think CIG made a mistake allowing LTI* to be gifted. YOU are the early subscriber, so YOU get the LTI, but once a ship is transferred from the original owner, that ship loses LTI i.e. once I gift it/or sell it, it just becomes a standard hull...

    Poll - Still With Us? (August 11, 2012)

    I remember hearing about WCNews not long after I got internet (go 56k modem dialup). That came about because I read (on work internet...) that Prophecy had a downloadable addon! I just had to get! Many overnight DLs later (DL restarts on lost connections... and I hadn't heard of managers...) I...

    Realistic wishlist of features for a new WC game

    As a preference, random mission generation and sequencing. No mission failure/success, just consequences. The former: Random missions 'generated' at a final trigger point (i.e. enter mission briefing room) so I can't 'save' that mission. The idea is that on reply I don't know what mission I...

    Wing Commander in the modern age

    Regards the Damage Repair, I best enjoyed the system employed in the I-War games where you had a panel (in WC - say a VDU) where you allocated damage repair capability against your various systems in order of preference (drive, lds drive, intersystem drive, weapons, missle launcher, shields...
