Privateer via GOG has been a godsend. RF would be awesome, and here's hoping they add more WC materials to the library.

Doomsday. "We're in trouble now."

The day standoff appears, my joystick goes schitzo. At least the intro was cool. Also, I loved the retro-classic WC2 musical accompanyment (until my Stiletto spun off into oblivion and I was forced to postpone my playing). I hope everyone else is having fun though.

15 minutes at a time... great game.

Detailed, nice looking model. Is it Galactica-inspired at all? The 'Claws' remind me of the engine ports of the Battlestars.

Very cool. When did the probe leave Earth? I'm guessing a while ago.

I totally remember that! I had forgotten how great the introduction to WC 2 was. I almost wish they'd have had FMV at that point. In my opinion, WC2 had such a great overall plot, it really mastered the feel of the WC experience and set the standard for the series. It would have made the...

He's right, it could. If you're willing to make the leap. His post just seemed to be hinting that there was a support for the POW arc as well as the Romance bit.

I looked back once, in order to buy WC 1 :: grin :: Well said Nomad, by the way. I think it's just a very engaging universe, it's nice to talk about during my spare time. nice to keep up, and (hopefully) nice to play a few of the fan release projects coming out soon. It's just too bad...

Yeah, Nomad, WC 2 is kinda clear, I wasn't really talking about that. Thanks Loaf. I know there's supposed to be something between them on the Tiger's Claw. The support materials I have read (manuals, strategy guides etc...) always make reference to the fact that a relationship started to...

It's like the Bengal's big brother. It seems like it's capable of operating alone somewhat.

Privateer is a game set in the Wing Commander universe. It's not part of the main plot (as in you aren't the same character as in WC 1, 2, 3 and 4) but yes, it is a Wing Commander game. And beyond the lovely mods being worked on by dedicated fans, it doesn't look like we'll get another...

I would actually like to see those quotes, to be perfectly honest. And how much of the explanation is hard fact, and how much is an interpretation of game quotes, introductions and events towards the purpose of supporting your point of view? I ask this not petulantly, but in honest curiosity...

I find it hard to believe that somebody willing to write his own fan-fiction arc to explain a character's return from the dead is unwilling to follow the assumed romantic connection between Blair and Angel forged in the movie.

Madden: That guy is like the Magna-Carta... HISTORY! Amazing.

I can see your reasoning, and I really do respect your opinions regarding the movie, Loaf, but you have to note that you take a couple of pretty sizable leaps to keep things in their proper order. I'm not arguing that those leaps shouldn't be taken, and I'm not trying to suggest there isn't a...

And if the turret goes in the back, why have two sweeping wings to cut down the field of fire?

I'm not disappointed because the movie wasn't perfect, I'm disappointed because I thought, in several key places, it wasn't even close. It's not about the movie being wrong, but the degree to which it fell short. Acknowledging imperfections is not cynicism. And the presence of the WC logo...

I hated the 'Sword, but then again, I'm a long-standing Epee fan, so there's obviously a screw or two loose. I figure, if you can't hit me, it doesn't matter that my ship is made of balsa wood and backissues of Claw-Marks.

Carriers were cake, I actually used the escorts. Fly into the hangar bay with an Arrow, match speeds and slide along with the thing, shoot liberally. The fighter's outside will struggle to find a shooting solution, and occasionally pop guns, missiles or their own idiotic selves into the side...
