Dralthi Fun! Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Update ID

Remember the TrainSim (aka Squadron)? The 'arcade game' in the Tiger's Claw was both your first step into the original Wing Commander and a fun way to learn to fight the Kilrathi. Under the hood, the game treats the TrainSim as its own series of four missions (in fact, this is likely why there are four 'slots' in each series for potential missions in the first two games.) Each of these missions has four Nav Points that the player can't see because you can't access navigation or the map. The first has the wave with one enemy, the second two, the third three and the fourth four. A careful examination of the game's data reveals that each of these nav points has its own name... and they can be pretty funny!

Here are the point (or wave) names from the original version of the game:

Salthi
Point 1: 12:00 at O.K. Corral
Point 2: Couple o' Nasties
Point 3: Triplet Terror
Point 4: Fear the Four

Dralthi
Point 1: Solo Flight
Point 2: Daring Duo
Point 3: Triple Threat
Point 4: Fantastic Four

Krant
Point 1: Brave Fighter
Point 2: Kilrathi Wingmen
Point 3: Kilrathi Squad
Point 4: Gratha Leader

Gratha
Point 1: Good Odds
Point 2: Still Good Odds
Point 3: Not So Good Odds
Point 4: Set Up (Sting)

For The Secret Missions, the names are changed up (except the Salthi!)

Dralthi
Point 1: Dralthi Fun
Point 2: Two Dralthi
Point 3: Three Dralthi
Point 4: This is Boring

Krant
Point 1: Krants on Drugs
Point 2: Two Krant
Point 3: Three Krant
Point 4: Four of these ships

Gratha
Point 1: Big and Slow Gratha
Point 2: More Gratha
Point 3: Yet More Gratha
Point 4: The Final Battle
