WC script...

Hey... I've just checked out a glimpse of that second variant of the Wcmovie script.. and I started to wonder.

Where's the first?

After several minutes of searching here and there, I guess one should purchase the first script in order to get one.

Anyway, I tried to search around the Web for 'wing commander script' and I found this master possible script for the WC prophecy storyline...

Written by Derek G. Chester and Corey L. Timmons...

Turned out like a WC5 story, set right after WC4 and about dealing with the Kilrathi prophecy and facing the Mantu. The script look kindda okay... though there were several inconsistencies with the official universe such as a Flint still being around and a Kevin Tolwyn who is a son of Geoffrey Tolwyn. There are also some new characters, as well Kirha nar Ian St.John hrai Aussi.

Anyone like to shed some light about this?

LOAF?
 
I believe it was a fan fiction sent in by that Derek Chester guy to Origin a while back, even though they never even asked for it. We were discussing this guy a while back, and how he was working on some Star Trek game.

I read it, and thought it was ridiculous. More cutscenes than actual game, and then there are the inconsistencies you pointed out. Flint still around, Kevin as the Admiral's son, and even Kirha (who died after the BoT... eh, but that's not his fault, FC hadn't been released yet).

I missed that detail about Kirha's death.

How did he died? I guess in Fleet Action, but which page?
 
While we're at it: I just recently got FC and I have a question someone might be able to answer:
In the prologue it is said that this battle between the Supercarrier and the two Cruisers takes place in 2669. The Terran Commander onboard on of the ships thinks about how Kruger saved Earth 3 years ago during the attack against Sol. Bondarevsky also comments on the event of a Kilrathi attack on Sol in 2666.
That's obviously the wrong date for the battle of Earth which took place in 2668. I think he clearly refers to the battle in 2668 and the authors just got the dates wrong but since this incident does not seem to contradict directly the WC universe, is it now considered canon that the Kilrathi attacked Earth both in 2666 and 2668 and both times Kruger saved the day?

Thanks in advance.

P.S.: So sad that Kirha died... :(

I don't believe so. That's as silly as saying there're two Iasons. I think Forstchen and Keith just flubbed. But that's just my opinion. LOAF?
 
Actually...

Actually, there are two Iasons.

One Iason we've learn to know and sympathize for is the TCS Iason which encountered _an_ alien spacecraft around Vega in 2669. 20 minutes after the encounter, the alien spacecraft open fire upon the Iason destroying all hands onboard.

Another ship, the CS Iason encountered 3 Kilrathi spacecrafts. The Iason lost its two escorting Ferrets to investigate. Later on, the ships fired, and only one of the Ferrets survived. The pilot was later captured, interrogated and held as a Kilrathi prisoner. Weeks later (or was it months), the pilot escaped and became one of the first primary sources about the Kilrathi. BTW, that pilot's name is James Taggart.

Funny huh.

Choose which story you like better.

I agree. But I think it's the same problme as with the Enyo engagement mentioned in the Claw Marks but the following manuals made it a McAuliffe incident. No we are supposed to believe that both systems were attacked and liberated in exactly the same way.
And I don't see how a battle of Earth in 2666 would directly contradict the common canon (except that, as you said, it appears silly.)

Actually, I like the TCS Iason version better because I don't like it when they try to connect too much between each information.

It doesn't matter which version you like better. There are two Iasons.
 
Yes, let's not, but let me say one thing. :)

There's got be some way to connect the two incidents and make them one. Jedora Andropolos commanded both of these ships. So, there are two of him (her?), as well? I mean, if we say there are two Iasons, why not say there are two Bossmans, because one died before the WCM, and another in SM2.

One Iason we've learn to know and sympathize for is the TCS Iason which encountered _an_ alien spacecraft around Vega in 2669.

Um, when was this again? :) I believe you meant 2629, right?

Eh, I should've never brought up the Iason. I apologize for the monster I've no doubt unleashed.

Mekt: I see what you mean about Enyo/McAuliffe. But I can see how there could be two different incidents here. I also can see how Earth could've been attacked in '66. After all, it was attacked in '54, and we didn't know about that until five years after we found out about the Battle of Earth. But just that fact that Kruger and the Landreich rescues Confed twice within two years is silly.

I was replying to TheFraix.
But it's nice to know there is always somebody ready to jump when someone threatens the continuation of the WC universe with own preferences or views.

Dralthi: You don't have to convince me about your point, since I do completely agree with you. :) It's just that I am wondering why we shouldn't accept two battles of Earth as canon, only because it sounds silly, although other events, which also appear silly, are considered canon.

What can you do, Mekt?
Some people tend to assume their own opinions as general thruths, and what's more, force them into other people's minds... :rolleyes:

Which is a fantastic thing, since one's own views and preferences have no bearing on the truth, which exists despite what one would prefer.

Much as yourself, it seems.

I am well aware of what TheFraix said. I'm just pointing out that your opinion on this matter has no effect on Wing Commander canon.
 
As long as we're clear on that...

Some people try to change the way things are simply because it doesn't fit their views. Some even think that their opinions are proof enough to do so. :(

Well, I agree that I have my own WC universe in my head (which has quite some differences to the official one) but I try, when I am discussing things here, to stick to the one considered canon.
But I think there are still some points which can be seen one way or the other.
Not the Concordia/Rapier question, I think the explanations are rather logic.
But the Enyo/McAuliffe engagement, e.g. or the battle of earth in the year 2666, these are arguable points IMO.

But I think that mpanty wanted to impose his views on anyone here as little as I wanted (and want) to.
