Next WC game

As 'cool' as fan fiction and fan missions/projects may be, they'll still be unofficial. [Though, clearly some people don't have a problem with that.]
 
I don't really care how official it is or not. I try to write my stories according to known facts about the WC universe, but I write stories to get all these ideas I have out of my head and onto paper. I'm sure everyone who has played WC has at some time thought up a cool battle scene or complete story based on WC.
 
Me neither, but that didn't discourage me to work on a storyline for my mod - I just took Fleet Action and put the player in one of the carriers :p

I think until we see a new WC game, fan fic is the best way to go. It will at least sate some of our hunger for something we all obviously love to death, and hopefully the powers that be within the WC production machine will see our ideas, see where we'd like it to go, and maybe incorporate them into the next game. For my part, I'm trying to write a script for a interactive movie sequel to Prophecy. Kinda like WC3 and 4. That was my biggest complaint about WCP, no mid movie choices. If both your choices on the carrier and in the cockpit had affected things, that woudl have been great. Anywho, that's what i'm trying to do. However i'm only in the outline phase right now and it could be awhile between my homework for school and my other script that actually has a shot at being at least read by a producer.
 
I also like fanfic for one because its interesting what others think would happen to confed, and also because it gives people somthing to do. Anyway, it would be really great if the next WC is a privateer game set during the initial bug invasion, and you get to choose your race before you play.

You can fly the Jrathek in Academy but that's it. You're still Confed.
In any case, I don't think a major game release on the side of the Kilrathi would work as well as, say, TIE Fighter for Star Wars. It would alienate a lot of players (including myself), and more to the point, we can't even expect a new WC game for a while yet. If and when a new game is announce, I would prefer it to continue and/or finish the Prophecy story (go Strike Team).

Whereas I disagree with the idea that the game would alienate a lot of players (which real WC fan wouldn't play the game only because you fly for the Kilrathi?) I too think a continuation of WCP would be best.
 
idea

I think a great idea of another Wing Commander would be an upgraded Wing COmmander armada. I mean a brand new one that would be awesome because armada was awesome for its time. That had to be a fun wing commander, or another privateer would be great.

Armada was an awesome idea. A network Wing Commander game is certainly what I would want in the future. Especially since I am on a network for the next 4 years :D

I was just making a point to people who moaned about not playing as Kilrathi. :)

The trouble with fanfic is that it's nearly impossible to sort the good from the bad... and the just plain ugly.

I know and I was just nitpicking that you can't play as a Kilrathi in Academy. ;)

Okay, fine.

You can play on the side of the Kilrathi in Armada.

You can fly Kilrathi ships in The Secret Missions, Academy, Armada, and Prophecy.

Better? ;)
