This list is very nice, but can you add a list of all used references? I mean, I know that WC4N stands for the WC4 novel, but what is OOGWC3 or PS?
This would make the list more complete...
I believe there's a list up at the CIC already -- the hope is to have a standardized system for citations. I'll find it and stick it in an appendix, though. (OOGWC3 would be Origin's Official Guide to WC3, PS would be Pilgrim Stars.)
Ok some interesting info for you here. As far as the hellcat V is concerned there is no reall vay to tell from the video what its designation it. It's either P or F followed by a Dash and then some other undefinable characters (ex: P-XXX Hellcat V)
Great -- I'll take a look with the 3DO version when I get home in December.
Hehe, if there was ever a "most continuity-screwing manual" awarrd, Voices of War would have to receive it .
Yeah, that's true.. still, it creates a lot of interesting things, too.
(Most of the ship specification issues in Voices of War aren't really the manual's fault -- it's just an even worse case of the manual going to press long before the game was finished, what with the amount of balancing-for-multiplayer they did late in the design in terms of ship specifications.)
TCS Intrepid (II) - does this one appear on the Confed list because of the WC4 ending?
Yes.
KIS Ni'lakh - given that, in the quote, "ni'lakh" is not capitalised, I'm not sure if we can interpret this as its name.
Removed!
WC3 Frigates - shouldn't there be an "unknown frigate" entry for these in the class list? After all, as far as we know these can't be positively linked to WC4's Caernaven frigates.
Added!
That makes sense to me. All the pilots and officers in the background in that scene are wearing confed uniforms and patches. Hawk also apears in the "darker" ending in a confed uniform. It really leads to some serious questions though. What the hell happened to the Border world? And why does confed now own the Intrepid (I guess originally it was a confed ship but had a different name).
Well, the Border Worlds are still around as a political entity in 2681 (they're on the WCU Map)... and they have a military of some sort (a number of WCP Guide biographies reference it) -- but they also seem to rely on the Confederation for defense (mentioned in the SO fiction).
Im just curious abuot the newship list doc. I am happy to see the full list of all the ships known in the Wing Commander universe, although I was wondering would be easier if there was a table or somewhat of all the ships classification and the ships under that class?? Would it be easier??
I think that'd probably end up being disappointing -- since there's usually one or two ships known of any given class.
Is the WC2 Bloodfang considered to be a one-off? The WC3 version's in the document, and was mentioned as being flown by the Blood Most Noble squadron as well as Thrakhath, but were the BMN squad also equipped with the WC2 type? Then again, even if they weren't, there's still that other Bloodfang in Ultima.
I think given the claim that the completely different WC2 Strakha is related to the WC3 version combined with the complete lack of backstory for the Bloodfang means we can't rule on it one way or another.
Frigates, hmmmmm. Quarto brought something good up. The WC4 frigate had 4 lasers and 2 missile turrets. The WC3 frigate had 3 laser turrets, maybe it's different class afterall?
Yup, this came up in a recent thread.
I can't recall, but does anyone remember the WC3 3do VS manual. It had pictured all of the capships as well display stats. Was there a picture for the Frigate? This might clear up the whole Caernaven/WC3 frigate thing.
3DO Victory Streak is kind of odd, but I'll add an annotation anyway.
Oddifies - Class/Picture
Confed Starbase - Kilrathi Delius Asteroid Base
Kilrathi Starbase - Confed Theta II Asteroid Depot
Confed Cruiser - An explosion
Confed Frigate - The very first WC3 screenshot, of an Arrow flying over a large slab-shaped ship.
