Making the Game: Comms by Mission (July 26, 2009)

[Bandit LOAF]

Here's every single "one shot" comm message in Wing Commander Prophecy in one tidy package. Scroll down to the very end -- those last losing messages from Anderson are fascinating. From the unusually lame "Wow! You really are a hero now, Casey!" to the dramatic "All pilots are ordered to get clear of this sector at once. If you are l ocated, you are to report news of this encounter to Confed Command", they have a very different feel to them.

These updates are thanks to John "Captain Johnny" Guentzel, who provided several CD image archives of material used by the Wing Commander Prophecy development team!

Really fascinating.

What was all that bit about the bugs seeing through cloaking devices? I don't remember any of that... Was it content that was later dropped from the game to explain why Confed doesn't have cloaked Lances, Excaliburs, and Arrows to meet the Bugs with?

It's mentioned in the ICIS manual that came with WCP.
