@Pedro - Awesome! Sorry if this is a question that's been answered elsewhere in this thread (I've not been around much lately) - are you using a new in-flight engine for this remaster, or the original WCIV one? I dearly missed the cockpits in WCIV, and a few years ago attempted to implement the...

That's true actually. There's a WC3 mission editor - turns out that the most ships you can have at any navpoint is 10. Any more than this and stability starts to become and issue and the engine crashes. Even if they'd tweaked the engine to allow for more, it'd probably be quite detrimental to...

Hmm, okay I'm going to derail this thread just for a moment then get back on topic. I'm also British. I'm probably more liberal now than when I was younger. I don't know if Wing Commander directly affected my attitudes toward military/war/patriotism, but it certainly had no small part in...

Haha, you make a fair point. Believe me I damn the DM on a daily bssis, I've even taken to trying to interact in their comments section but I always get downvoted for trying to suggest that foreign people have feelings too. My jibe at the Graun was a nod to their old reputation for mistakes...

Yeah, that's ridiculous. He was the star of the show for two games. Damn Guardian...

Can I say Privateer? As an open-ended Sandbox, it becomes shallow pretty quickly after you've done everything, but to get to the point where it becomes boring is a long and glorious journey. I just love the locations, the atmosphere, the customisation and the quirky characters. WC3 is a close...

I've been enjoying them and it's nice to see that you and Chris interact with those in the chat panel while Ben does his thing, it's like he's getting his flow on and I love how excited he gets - you all have so much passion for Wing Commander. All I'd say is more of the geeky curiosity items...

Ahh yes, that looks pretty likely. Haha, thanks? Not sure if [/s] ;)

It took me a while to find a Google image search result where he's without his glasses but with a beard. It's possible we've happened upon the picture they gave the artists working on Privateer, given the likeness of the way his hair falls at that exact moment, along with the eyebrow raise and...

Salman Rushdie appeared on the news in the UK this morning, and I was certain I recognised him from somewhere. Rushdie is a British novelist whose fourth book 'The Satanic Verses' caused widespread outrage throughout the Muslim world, and resulted in a fatwa, subsequently spending years in...

Hobbes' death, although rare, always triggers the losing endgame and return to Proxima. That's the only factor at Blackmane that causes you to end up with the total defeat. So if you're asking if Blackmane can be lost without losing the whole game, the answer is yes, absolutely, you'll end up...

"Welcome to the Intrepid, Colonel. I'm Lt.Sosa. You should know that ranks aren't transferable between Confed and the Union of Border Worlds, so even though we'll all informally call you Colonel and treat you as such, you're officially starting out at the bottom. I'll set you up with a login...

Wow, the last couple of years have thrown up some real gems in the exploration and 'renovation' of Wing Commander 1; WCDX, WCToolbox, the converted SM1.5, the imported WC3 textures and recreated Hellcat cockpit, and now this - the most exciting of all! I wish I had half the technical expertise...

What's interesting is that the Frigate isn't just texture assets, but is a ready to go ship that has in game stats and flies just fine. There was a WC3 mission creator from HCl, and he enabled the use of the Frigate. I remember testing it out by setting up missions where I'd sit back and watch...

Having just watched through it properly on my PC, I'm struck by how spoiler heavy that trailer was!

My phone bravely tried to run this, but the 5fps experience wasn't pretty. Ironically, this mid range smartphone has a core clock approximately 15 times faster than the 486 I first played WC3 on.

This seems as good a place as any to put this, since we're talking about past Wing Commander actors. The article's a couple of years old, but this interview on Digital Spy explains why John Rhys-Davies suddenly departed Sliders mid way through season 3. Seems he wasn't very happy with the...

Pretty much every time; full afterburners, set missiles to launch simultaneously and just as you pickle them, let rip with full guns. My head-cannon is that he ejected. Wouldn't be the first time.

The GOG versions of Wing Commander, Wing Commander II and Wing Commander III are original DOS releases, not Kilrathi Saga. They don't require Stinger's patch because the original versions don't have the same bugs that WCDX is designed to deal with.

^ I don't know if it's my bad translation, but the above article seems to call Electronic Arts a 'subsidary' of Origin. :D Maybe somebody with better French than me can confirm that I'm just a terrible translator... @PopsiclePete ? ;)
