    D&D stuff

    Folks, I'm in the early stages of my first time as a DM (The Great Cosmic Shift), and I would like to add elements of multiple other universes, of which Wing Commander is one. I do want to keep weaponry limited to that of D&D, but I wouldn't mind some assistance. So far, I have one race that...

    Escape Pods in Wing Commander Prophecy?

    Please take what I say with a grain of salt, but in terms of the WC games, I think you have useable tractor beams in 2, Academy, 4, Privateer, and Privateer 2: The Darkening, I have only played Armada once, so I can't say for certain.

    13 years and no Star Citizen!!

    Hmmm...I now am tempted to look for two Quines for cosplay (a handheld AND a wrist mounted). This way, I can try a crossover character (you know, one who can use a handheld AND wrist mounted Pip Boy)!

    That’s What They Call a Rostov Hairball (June 24, 2023)

    Since all of the other ports give us the idea of an alcoholic drink, I wonder if this would be a riff on either a Black Russian or White Russian. Heck, I think I mentioned the possibility of the Rostov Hairball to Greg from How To Drink with this drink, as he was -- at least at the time --...

    The silliest callsign

    This is my silliest. It came up during a poker game with some chorus buddies, and one of the guys joked that I slightly resembled Bonk from Bonk's Adventure, so the name stuck (Bonk). After a year or so, I modified it a bit in order to make it my own (Bonkus Maximus). Prior to that, I had...

    Kilrathi Writing

    Cuneiform? Interesting idea, and a good point!

    Kilrathi Writing

    Fellow wingnuts: While I am familiar with a couple of fan projects on the Kilrathi language, do we have a series of resources which relate to the Kilrathi writing system? Although I am unfamiliar with many non-Latin writing systems, I can see the use of something similar to Japanese...

    Privateer Logical Map

    I find the references made by the bases to be fascinating: Jolson (the Pleasure Planet) likely refers to Al Jolson, as his performance in The Jazz Singer was in 1927. During my Twitch playthroughs, I always thought that Joplin (the Refinery) was a reference to Janis Joplin, but I eventually...

    A Revised Discussion of the Kilrathi Language

    Venturing a guess..."I am the Very Model of a Modern Major General" from The Pirates of Penzance

    Free to a loving home - my WC collection

    If you have no UK takers, I would be interested in this collection. The only negative is that I live in the United States. However, if you are willing to ship, all I would need to know is the shipping/ customs costs, and I can send you the required funds.

    Privateer Logical Map

    In that case, I'll check out Rikel, starting in RF, and then trying the original Privateer. I'll tell the people that I will be Invincible and with Infinite Ammo for the session, as we're just exploring for hidden locations in the game.

    Privateer Logical Map

    I guess I'll have a special stream to check it out. I'll start by checking out Perry, and then look around Rikel. @Rylex , if you're able to join in on the stream, it'll be cool to try to find the hidden jump nodes.

    After Privateer 2 ending

    If you're playing on GOG, try changing the CD after the game ends. You can do this by going to the CD.DAT file. It usually has one character in the file (1, 2, 3). Change the CD number, and you should be able to go back to those CDs in order to trigger those conversations. I included the...

    I've Created a WC4 HD Video Pack

    I've already streamed the entirety of X-Wing, but if you don't have a video set for the cutscenes, I'll start it up again so you can get some exposure/ promotion for your work on that project. I already did it for @ODVS' WC III, WC IV, and WCP projects, and I don't mind getting your work some...

    What do you HATE (or at least dislike) in each Wing Commander game?

    Regarding the comments about Maniac, I remember that he matures a bit during prophecy, especially after losing BW pilots under his command. If I remember correctly, he also generally follows orders in combat, which I found odd It sucks that they couldn't get Tim Curry again.

    Count 'Em: One, Two, Three WC4 Mouse Pads (April 19, 2021)

    1. I'm jealous, lol 2. I do remember a mousepad that my dad had for the Amiga 500. I think it's still in his house and in excellent condition (with the exception of one burn/ melt mark from one of his cigarettes), so I can see Triple-B's mousepad lasting for 20+ years

    I've Created a WC4 HD Video Pack

    One big change I noticed on the DVD version vs the CD version: When Seether "reassigns" Paulsen, they keep the throat cutting off camera. It used to be on-camera ( and go to 2:15 [WARNING: MIGHT BE CONSIDERED NSFW BECAUSE OF THIS!])

    What do you HATE (or at least dislike) in each Wing Commander game?

    WC 1: As much as you would dodge, the rocks would still find you from time to time. SM 1 & 2: Little replay value (Without the losing tracks, you just played through a linear progression until you won) WC 1, WCS version: I simply hated the Laser cannon/ Neutron gun sound. WC 2: Losing Target...
