With all said and done, true the cockpit visuals givesa nice feel, but I feel safer when I can clearly see which direction enemy fire is coming from. :) I also find it much easier to dog a target....so much simpler than flashing your own LOS back and forth from the radar display to see where...

Long time no see folks. :) What've we got here....? Hmmmmm...... To my best recollection, I was able to amass a little over 5000 kills, excluding the replays. My callsign changed with the characters. For role-playing's sake. Playing Blair, I went under Grendel. As Casey in Prophecy, I...

Actually yes. It IS easier to program a more powerful ship. Computers or AI, which is ultimately still only a function of the computer, will only do what it's programmed to do. It only puts out what you put in. Being able to program a smart AI, is complex, difficult, and the program would...

Given Peter Halcyon's apparent range of influence, I'd say he was CAG aboard the Claw. Wing Commander is supposed to be the position of a wingleader, or the commander of a flight. That's YOUR role in the game. You're the star, and Halcyon was a supporting character in the game. Top billing...

Nuclearbox, the simulator in Prophecy is in the lounge, to the far left of the screen. Just click, pick, and blast away! :)

Errata The Black Wasp? Black Wasp gun compliment is 2 dust cannons and 2 cloudburst. Unless you just go with the Dust Cannons on the Black Wasp. Those suckers will either kill him quicker than he can kill you, or make him panic and run! :D Additional to the earlier suggestion for...

I was able to identify the Red Manta almost immediately when I first encountered it. It was pretty noticeable, when I was cycling through the available targets, and spotted the color difference. As for function, I found that out the hard way when I dogged one, and it fired a torpedo at the...

Roach was my callsign in Prophecy. Casey, being a different character and all...... My Previous callsign all throughout the Kilrathi Saga until WCIV was Grendel. =============================== "With Orion's sword The hunter arose and conquered the world with fury and grace. "In...

Getting back to the thread.... Lemme see....close to ideal fighter.... I'd have to go with the M/AM drives, like a lot of other guys, along with the warp drives that seem to come with it. I and a buddy have been contemplating the construction of a fighter which we based on the Vampire's...

Me, whatever works. I make my decision on what to do on the fly...no pun intended. ;) I usually save my ordinance for when I'm within dogfighting range, unless I'm either strafing, or attacking capships. In defense missions, I try to single out the heavy ships first, mainly the mobile...

Thanks Saturnyne. :) I'm flying with a SideWinder 3DPro. Can its software be in conflict? It figures...I'm having problems with it going dead in other games like StarLancer. When in doubt, blame Bill Gates.....:D

Sounds like a pretty weak argument to me, if you're going to base whether or not P2 is in the WCU on a semantic point. A confederacy is a system of government by definition. Obviously, since it's mentioned, the government structure in P2 is a confederacy, but equally, that doesn't necessarily...

Has anyone ever encountered a fatal dinput error? Every so often, SO crashes on my system and exits, with the message "FATAL dinput:fetch2 fell out of loop". Can anyone help me out?

Guys, I've got a similar problem I've been trying to iron out. I believe it may be specifically related to the TNT series of chips, since when I ask guys with Voodoos, they have no idea what I'm talking about. BTW, I'm using a 32MB card with a TNT2 chip. During certain segments when the...

---Indeed he was. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong about this. Far be it from me to cause any undue anxiety, but I believe I heard that Jason Bernard died of a heart attack some time ago. Perhaps this is simply ORIGIN's way of paying tribute to the man.

Hmmmmm.....Dragon fighter<------->Installation/capship duhh. I'd think it would. I still prefer a contact warhead. If I have a warhead that powerful, I'll shoot it at something more worthwhile.

I checked the map after emerging from the jump tunnel, and it sure looked like Midgard was indicated....lots'a rock in that neighborhood too.

???? When I drop control, ie take my finger off the trigger, it detonates. What am I doing wrong?

Going back to the Mace for a moment, the dumbfire edition worked just fine. Terrific for capship killing. Starting WC4, the missile became remote detonated instead of contact. It just seems to me to be a waste of money, firing a slow moving tactical nuke at an approaching squadron, only to...

Well, that being the case, then I'd prefer to be aboard the "deadliest" ship. The only real point in blowing up a whole planet is a show of force. To prove you can, and perhaps scare an opponent into submission. I just find it to be a waste of unharnessed resources in blowing up a whole...
