    Raptor's Last Stand Streamed to the World (April 7, 2021)

    The last several times I've played WC1 I've used the KS version with wcdx I had completely forgotten about 'Weapon destroyed' and taking on enemies with one laser. Was weapon damage removed from the Kilrathi Saga version? Maybe I'm just remembering wrong, it's also possible it just didn't...

    German Kilrathi Saga Unofficial Fan Guide

    Vielen Dank! I learned it in school, and even had an exchange partner in Krefeld. Unfortunately that was 20 years ago. I guess I have a good basis to learn properly =) Anyway good job with this, I'm sure some German speakers will appreciate it.

    Windows update broke GOG/DOSBox WC3?

    Fixed! No idea what the issue was, but I simply did a clean install of my GPU drivers, and the problem has gone away. Thanks again for the help :)

    Windows update broke GOG/DOSBox WC3?

    Thanks for the reply! I changed those lines in the dosbox config, but unfortunately the problem still happens. It's really strange, I can't for certain blame the Windows update, but previously it was working fine. I guess I could roll back and try.

    Windows update broke GOG/DOSBox WC3?

    EDIT: Apologies. Mistake in thread title. I'm using the Origin WC3 version, not GOG. I was midway through a WC3 playthrough. Everything was working well with the stock Origin DOSBox settings. Then yesterday, my PC downloaded and installed a monster Windows feature update. It took about 10-15...

    What do you HATE (or at least dislike) in each Wing Commander game?

    I actually think just finding a new love interest so soon after learning about Angel was pretty scummy in itself. Remember those Scumbag Steve memes?

    Do WC3 wingmen fire torpedoes?

    It was a weird 'head canon' thing on my part - until this point my Blair hasn't flown with Maniac since reuniting with him on the Victory. Despite Maniac being an ass at times, he's still one of the best pilots on the carrier. Blair knows this and needed his skills in the tricky nebula...

    Do WC3 wingmen fire torpedoes?

    First playthrough in five years, and WC3 is still a joy to play! But I'm on Ariel 3 "play possum in the nebula" and the game is kicking my ass. I don't remember it being this tough. I chose Thunderbolts, and Maniac. This is probably a bad choice because Maniac wants to take on the capships...

    Underrated Sci-Fi gems from the 90s

    Pretty solid list, even if he did refer to the 'Kilrathian Empire' and the 'Ter-on Confederation' Although I'm not sure about the part where he says 'fans will be amazed to see how loyal the story is to the film' hehe.

    While you sleep they'll be waiting?

    This is the message the GOG version gives you if you quit via the airlock. (Tweaked settings to not close DOSBox upon exit)

    While you sleep they'll be waiting?

    I may just be dreaming this, but I seem to recall the DOS WC1 exit message was 'You step out of the airlock and into...' Possibly only when you quit via the door in the barracks and not with alt+x. It's been a while since I played the original DOS version so I'd have to check.

    WC4 Remake

    Oh nice, I missed that. Looks faithful, and I can't wait to see the finished project. Now, I'm going to be a complete douchebag and probably incite the combined wrath of @Pedro and @DefianceIndustries at the same time, but was there ever a time when you considered using the WC3 Hellcat cockpit...

    Any eyecandy of a Longbow cockpit yet? Will be interested to see what you guys come up with.

    A Near Miss! (August 28, 2020)

    If you want to see it fly and fight, you can use the Wing Commander 3 Mission creator written some years ago by @HCl to set up a battle involving any of the craft in WC3, including the Frigate! I could well be remembering this incorrectly but I have a feeling it fires lots of missiles in combat.

    Meet the WC2 Characters... as of 1990! (April 15, 2020)

    Speaking of background heads, I wonder if this one was designed with Iceman in mind before it was decided he wouldn't be in the game:

    Command & Conquer Remastered Collection Announced (March 10, 2020)

    Wow, I had no idea it could be that costly.

    Command & Conquer Remastered Collection Announced (March 10, 2020)

    The budget did cross my mind; but I was wondering that since all of the original gameplay assets and units had been re-done, how much extra work it would have been to do the cutscenes as well? You'd certainly know better than I would though, and I'll concede it doesn't look too bad all things...

    Space Sim First Look: Elite Dangerous Odyssey (June 4, 2020)

    I seldom get to game any more, but when I do, it's pretty much always Elite: Dangerous. It's an excellent choice for astronomy enthusiasts and science buffs. After 600 hours I still never tire of the deep space exploration. It's not the swashbuckling space action adventure of Privateer, nor...
