Today I received the following e-mail: While it is possible that I've registered somewhere using the name Christopher Blair (although that is not my usual 'Fake ID'), I would most certainly not have used my real e-mail address for it. Very very weird.

I just read the Confederation Handbook, and the most interesting concept (read: the only one I didn't know from somewhere else) was Parallel Tonality. Don't get me wrong, I know exactly what Parallel Tonality is, I'm quite familiar with it, and use it quite often. Parallel Tonality is simply...

A long time ago someone here was encoding Video CDs from the WCATV AVI files to view them with a DVD player. Now I also have a DVD player and want to do the same. Now my question to that person is: what MPEG encoder did you use? I try to use XingMPEG encoder, but it freezes after a few frames...

On page 177 of Freedom Flight, Blair is mentioned in a poker game. Either Lackey is psychic, or it was already known at OSI that they would call him Blair for WC3 in 1992. Anyone know?

I completed Secret Missions 1!!!! Yay! There was a bug in there though, in the mission before the last one where you have to stop the strike force headed for the claw. When I targeted the Ralari, my targeting display showed no ship, just the shields. Also the distance remained -----. And...

I'm continuing my struggle against SM1, with, unfortunately, not much success. After the last thread (the 'protect the dralthi' mission) I've been faring reasonably well. Killed the ambush force, the Gwenhyvar (man that was hard too! Those rapiers seem much tougher when I'm not flying them :D )...

Al right, maybe not totally complete, but I only have max 10 options in the poll. The last theme poll one was getting so much comments for only allowing WC1 and WCM as options, I'd thought I'd see what the general opinions are on all themes. I didn't include WCSO because I *think* it has...

I'm playing SM1 for the first time in my life, and am I just a bad pilot, or is it insanely hard?!? I'm currently stuck at the mission where I have to escort a captured Dralthi. First I get up against 2 Krant's and a Ralari, then I meet the Dralthi at Nav 2, accompanied by 4 unfriendly...

Or I think they did. I just saw the first part of the final Star Trek: Deep Space 9 episode, and it ends with the Starfleet/Klingon/Romulan fleet finding "super-ships" the Dominion have apparently secretly build around Cardassia-prime. Sounds familiar? ;)

I have posted here before saying it works, and it does. But not all of it... Just now I posted the following message on the Windows XP beta newsgroup, entitled Wing Commander Kilrathi Saga - Secret Missions 1 which should say it all: I'll keep you informed on anything I learn.

I'm currently in the 'defend captured Ralari' mission in WC1. It goes as follows: me and Bossman fly out in Rapiers (yugh!). First in an asteroid field we have to deal with 4 salthi. Easy enough. Then we arrive at the Ralari and it's under attack by several Gratha. It takes about 3 seconds...

Today I spoke to a friend who doesn't know Wing Commander at all. Ie he'd never even heard of it, besides possible passing mentions of me in the past. We were talking about some pros and cons to democracy and I mentioned Fleet Action, because it talks about the impossibility to maintain a war...

I realise this is a stupid question, but I was wondering: Do Kilrathi pur when happy? I've not seen it mentioned anywhere, but I haven't read all the novels. Anyone knows this?

Can the board administrators edit the smilies we can add to these posts? If so, wouldn't it be cool if someone designed Kilrathi smilies for this board?

Is this still sold somewhere? I'd really like to have it, but that requires a place to buy it. If anyone has it and wants to sell it to me that's fine too, preferably if you're in/near the Netherlands. Thanks.

I was wondering lately how afterburners would work in space? I mean they can't possibly work like the real thing here on Earth. Come on LOAF, I know you have the answer to this one :) For the record, this is how real afterburners work: A normal Jet engine sucks air in through the front, uses...

Alright, maybe that's a little too strongly stated. What I'm writing about is that for the foreseeable future, we will be able to play Wing Commander. As you know, WC games do not work on Win2000. But now in the latest build of WinXP (2494), All WC:KS games, WC4 and WC Prophecy do work. I...

Does anyone still have these. I once (a long time ago) got a few of the episodes in RM format, but a lousy connection made it impossible to download all back then. Now I'd like to download them, but I can't find them anywhere anymore. All I find are dead links. The DivX versions would be...

If Origin/EA is so obsessed with Ultima Online subscription sales that it's enough for them to cancel WC, why don't they make a 'Wing Commander Online': A big immersive Massive Online Role Playing Game set in the Wing Commander Universe. You could do stuff like join Confed or the BWS or become...

Not so very long ago, I played WC1 from Kilrathi Saga. I also played 2, 3, 4 and are now playing Prophecy, but that's besides the point. I never read any novels or fanfic (although I intend to), so I'm not as well versed in the WC Universe as some of you people here, but this seemed curious to...
