    wcnews blocked at my school :(

    From what I remember (from way back in high school) the local Board of Education licensees out web-filtering software to help block sites. The company that makes the software (in my case it was Websense) complies a list of all the sites they can and categories them. Then someone at the...

    Defecting to the Kilrathi

    I never thought too much about Hobbes' defection, but I think you're right Quarto, he probably was just meant to infiltrate the rebellion and activate during a crucial moment. However when he defected to Confed it was a potential windfall for Thrakath, however I don't think too many Kilrathi...

    Well, they still need slaves to do the jobs Kilrathi don't want to do. :p

    WC4 ending

    Yeah, and Blair is shot as a traitor (not like that Emo-bastard Tolwyn). This is the only true "bad ending."

    That's my point exactly. There is a "Terran-Confederation," (from most of the Wing Commander games) and a "Tri-System Confederation," (from Privateer 2) existing in the same universe at the same time (They just don't know about each other, or have any form of contact, save that one Talon that...

    Well, its not to farfeched to believe that the 3 systems of the Tri-System are joined in a Confederate type government. If so then the Tri-System would probably be referred to as the Confederation quite often by its citizens (In fact "Tri-System" sounds like a colloquialism).

    Wow, thanks LOAF :) I knew you had a lot of knowledge about Wing Commader, but subtiltes on the Portugese translation? GODDAMN! I had no idea about the mention of Kilrathi (I never heard it in the bar scenes; too noisy I guess). Is there a transcript of it somewhere, 'cause now I've just got to...

    I assumed that they would disinfect it first. At the very least they would keep it in quarantine and study it though glass with those oversized rubber arms. I thought that was just a theory. Once again depends on the direction the writers take it.

    I just thought that Confed would have captured a lot of alien tech from: blown up starfighters and Capships, and the derbies left behind after the wormhole collapsed (maybe Decker et al. made some tech scans when they were in the cooling towers). That would help the Confed Scientists (ConSci?)...

    Defecting to the Kilrathi

    I always thought the hair color thing was a mark of bonding post-SO2; Maverick and Paladin deciding to die their hair the color of the other as a sign of Black-Op Brotherhood. .....Ok, you do better. :mad:

    Don't forget about the massive wormhole gate in Prophecy (I know its the enemy's, but how long before Confed starts building those?) BTW: Just how canonical is Privateer 2? I think there is only one mention of (a) Confederation in a news post, and you can see a derelict Talon on one...

    Defecting to the Kilrathi

    Well the Concordia was a Dreadnought/Carrier (It was built FORD tough, ~~~ ). Yeah, that quote kinda sucks (when you are winning) at least WC3 let you finish fighting, and they hauled you away after you landed or were picked up post-ejection (I assume they gave you one chance to explain your...

    Iconic fighter?

    Like everyone else said the Dralthi is the iconic fighter for the Kilrathi, and perhaps Wing Commander as a whole. As for an iconic ship for Confed I would say the TCS Tiger's Claw. However for fighters I would say either the Rapier (The first "supership" of Wing Commander, and for its sleek...

    Defecting to the Kilrathi

    Take out the escorts, get behind it and just let your the guns take care of the rest. That tip came from one of the pilots on the Claw, Angel I think. Still that mechanic about fighters being able to destroy capships so easily was the only thing that bothered me about WC 1, it was just so...
