Oh wow, I didn't realise there was a Japanese dubbed release of III - I had to go and check this out immediately! The voice acting fits really well. Of course I don't speak a word of the language, but even in Japanese the Kilrathi sound rather menacing. Actually there's something special about...

Those Excaliburs are beautiful. Any idea what the silver text right underneath where it says 'Heart Of The Tiger' translates to? EDIT: Actually, since there's numerals (III) to the right of the silver text, I can probably guess :p

Yes, best price I can see on eBay UK is an auction with a starting bid of £30 (36 USD) - no bids and only 24 hours to go. There're still a few jokers on there trying to get £200/$240 for Saga. On a personal level, I find the way people overprice second hand merchandise on eBay to be one of the...

WC3 was actually given away free via the Origin 'on the house' offer a year or two ago. An absolute steal for the amount you can get out of that game. You undersell yourself, doesn't your patch also fix the music loop bug and missing red planet issue? It's a really useful tool for anybody with...

"I don't have a career. Not in the navy." "I haven't been in this man's navy all these years without making a few friends in high places"

^ Confession: I summoned you because I had a feeling you'd be able to articulate your feelings about unnecessary space lust better than I am able, or have the vocabulary to. Superbly put. This part of the OP didn't trouble me as much since I did enjoy the immersion of exploring the Victory and...

I'd hate to see a Wing Commander reboot, because canon is canon and the originals don't need touching. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a sequel or prequel, but I'd be very precious about a remake as I'd want it to be done carefully and not to in any way contradict the first game. If it were to...

I'm not certain, but I don't remember Jukaga being anything more than a politician. He may have been close to the Emperor, but I don't think he was a member of the royal family; thus I would suspect ineligible. We do know from the games that Thrakhath got the heirship from birth as the firstborn...

It would make the Kilrathi angry and vengeful but it wouldn't crush their morale like the death of an emperor. One of Thrakhath's many cousins would replace him as heir to Kilrah, and the war would go on.

Firstly I should admit the 'hundreds of hours' part was perhaps an exaggeration, but I do recall spending an awful lot of time playing the game after the plot had ended just for the sake of completing the upgrades for each of the ships - and although with hindsight this sounds incredibly boring...

It's a shame RF is often overlooked, although any real Wing Commander fan will have played it by now. I remember how stale Privateer had become after completing the plot, then spending hundreds of hours just smuggling and flying random generic missions for cash. RF breathed life into the...

I always used to pretend they had taken the Gamal Gan/Grimalkin to inflitrate Kilrah and set up the asteroid bases :p

Going to go a little off topic here, forgive me. Before the Privateer hero had a name (we now know him as Grayson Burrows) I had decided that he represented *me* much better than Bluehair/Blair ever did. The Privateer guy wasn't a conventional hero, he was just an average Joe trying to make a...

It looks like I'm rather lucky to have played the main series in order, with the exception of SM1 and SM2, which were the hardest titles to find and the last for me to play. Anyway, happy birthday - I think I've mentioned this before, but I scored Wing Commander 2 on the cheap...I traded £2.50...

Wow! That's great, and welcome - quite an introduction to rock up with not only a GJL version of the Midway, but a slick video with Wing Commander music to boot. One of the best first posts ever :)

Wow, his lack of views is tragic. He obviously puts a lot of work into his videos with the post production effects, backgrounds etc - even at times wearing costumes. Might just give him a sub because all-in-all his synopsis wasn't bad and his style far more palatable than that of some YouTubers.

I'm guessing you manually flew away from the navpoint with the listening post, I can't remember if WC2 allows you to autopilot away from enemy capships - I don't think it does so presumably you had to fly away in real time. If that's the case, there's a chance you tripped the old WC1/WC2...

@NinjaLA just seems to get better and better, I love that Raptor making the kill...and the detail of the Kilrathi pilot in his flight suit is exquisite!

I wonder if I'm alone in saying, the only reason I've never played Saga is because it lacks cockpits. No disrespect intended.

Actually, having re-read Quarto's opening arguments - the odds seem pretty strong this is probably a non-functioning cutscene Strakha after all. I wonder if it was rejected for the Auto light and 5.25" floppy drives making it look too human. Purely conjecture of course.
