The void of space itself isn’t worth fighting over but trade lanes, jump points, and resources like asteroid belts, space stations, and shipyards are worth controlling. If the United States found a cheap free alternative fuel today we would still have carrier groups in the Middle East because...

Even if all of those techs came online in the timeframe you have listed I cant see any nation having the $$$ to put it all together in one big under water carrier supership thing. It would be pretty slick though...

I dont know if theres a ton of ships that could do that. I think the SSN is really the only one. You want something that can go solo against Carrier groups with many weapons from many ranges and can protect itself... attack sub all the way. Even a big cruiser like a Tico or a Kirov needs a...

Good luck getting it ANYWHERE! Didnt that thing crap out in the middle of the gulf when it was doing a tour in South America?

The airborne laser wouldnt be good against ships but I did read somewhere that the USN just spent a ton of money to research a railgun for surface ships. Also I read a similar story about a program for a directed energy type of CIWS. I'd assume those are a distant pipe dream at this point...

yeah, those unlockable units did sorta goof the game up. I played through the single player and had fun but it didnt last more than a month or two on my hard drive. Very pretty to look at and fun to play but I just didnt get into it too much. I've played Naval Ops and Naval Ops 2 several...

Naval Ops and BS Midway are fun games. I agree about the battleship totally caked with weapons in Naval Ops. It was cheesy but fun (esp with turret mounted 305mm chainguns!) Jutland just came out with an Ex-pack...

The escort and scan mission you guys were talking about was a blast! I had to play it four or five times before I finally got through it. When I was trying to disengage after the scan my burners were severly damaged causing me to keep panic tapping my tab key! I ran out of burners and some cat...

Pretty pumped for this game. Three fav games were Mech Warrior, WC, and Battlefield 1942.

Very good points, I have always felt the game does very foolish things with carriers in general. I dont know if the plot seems to be centered around poor uses of carriers because of a lack of tactical knowledge of the games developers or if it was actually made to seem like Tolwyn made poor...

LOAF and Death, thanks for clearing up the movie being part of the history for me. The ventures, I'm pretty sure, at least fire their forward firing lasers in WC1 or the expacks. I remember kind of chuckling seeing it trying to turn on a fighter and firing at it. Didnt think about the...

The F-86 Sabre was a Korean War USAF fighter. Very pretty old warbird

Is the movie widly considered to be a main part of the wing commander historic fiction? It seems like a spin off to me. Some of the same names and cats vs. humans but the rapier, carriers, and other ships look totally different, the whole pilgrim issue and so on… Could there be so many issues...

Cool, tried that and it worked. Thanks 4 the help...

I could have voted for the crossbow too. I liked the placement of the guns, it looked cool seeing five guns fire across your screen, good damage too.

I tried installing prophecy gold edition on my PC which is running Vista and WCP installs and runs fine but SO keeps having an error on installation. I don’t know what the exact error message is, missing a file or something along those lines. Is there a special procedure for installing on vista...

Big fan of the raptor but I had a lot of fun in the Wasp too (or anything with charging mass drivers).
