About the community, that was another thing Star Citizen (didn't) have that Transverse did: an audience that was predisposed to hate them. I don't know how many people outside of the Mechwarrior community remember this now but PGI had absolutely firebombed their goodwill over the previous two...

This is fantastic. I mentioned Privateer 2 more out of hope than expectation, but I never expected you to add it within weeks.

Very similar to Star Citizen, except lacking any of the marketing subtlety that raised it six million dollars in forty days, while this died after less than a month without even pulling in $20000. One thing I've always being curious about is the ship design. At the time the bottom row ship...

It appears in an Academy episode (The Last One Left?) but I don't think it was ever explicit.

I feel like this year has been a really good one for fan projects. There's a lot of high-quality work covering a really diverse range and you could shuffle the nominees and not feel like you'd done a disservice. It's not like 20 years ago when the top prize was between Standoff and Saga and...

Shame it didn't come in black!

That's good to know, it always looked like something to be really proud of! (I say "looked" because my laptop is quite a bit older than "recent", although it's cheap enough now that I can probably give it a shot. Do you get royalties?) The art direction is still one of the best I've ever seen...

I always wondered how gunnery control was supposed to function. Thinking about it now I guess it would function like any other fire control system but back then I wondered why a space carrier with no big guns needed a dedicated room for them. It's interesting that they chose it as a location...

Really good work! I'm really excited for the model viewer since there's never been a good one, and especially for Privateer 2 as some of the models in the 3D archive are corrupted (Heron).

That F-16 really brings home just how big the ships are. The Wing Commander II sizes are on the small side, too.

The C-1000 marking comes from the original Tarsus model. We have it, along with most of the Privateer 3D art assets, and it's presumably what the print modeler used as reference. (The mesh filename is "CLUNKER"). I thought to measure the original meshes to settle once and for all just how big...

Don't worry, I was responsible in some way for a lot of the current layout and I can barely remember how it works :) More immediately: I was tagging the new Prophecy Holovids page with categories (because I like to navigate wikis through categories and I believe it should be possible to...

Your work is really great. End Run is still I think the best cover ever made for a Wing Commander product, ever. It combines the WC I & II cover art but did it in a way that grounded it in the actual story. Did you receive any specific direction for it? I'm guessing that at least they sent you...

So, which one did you order?

I'm guessing that this is supposed to be the Black Lance carrier? What are you using to render these?

This seems like a good time to ask: do we want to keep the current Wiki format of having the Category page as the main page for items rather than simply being a container? I know that I'm mostly (entirely) responsible for this, even if I can't remember exactly why, but I do know that the...

You could probably build one with a RaspberryPi or similar system. Quite a lot of homebrew 3D printed electronics.

I have to wonder how the playtesters ran these missions, or whether they even did because relations between the developers at EA Manchester and QA at Origin were notoriously bad.

I have nothing to add but I'm really happy that you're documenting these issues. Privateer 2 has been one of the most neglected games and these issues have sat for decades. I think we have the source code but nobody knowledgeable has taken a look at it, which is more necessary here than with...

I added the text from the Super Famicon manual that I OCRed last year to the wiki page so that it's easy to find. I still think it's interesting that the McAuliffe ambush and Action Stations depictions play out similarly and I wonder if this was just coincidence or somebody at Origin continuity...
