    BREAKING: WC Prophecy on GOG

    So I am having a strange issue. I installed the gog version, no problems there, tested it out, then went ahead with the upgrade. Now there are problems. When I load the game all I get is a black screen. I can tab around in the dark and guess my way into accessing movies and briefings. Those...

    New 3D Thread

    Beautiful work Klavs, I would so love to fly around in these. I wonder how mod able Squadron 42 will be, and if these could be used for a proper WC remake on there.

    Wing Commander Prophecy: Secret Ops Model Update Pack

    Long time, no posting. These are looking great, and I just reinstalled WCP, how long before the rest of us can play with these?

    Commissioned Naval Officer!

    sorry professional courtesy but I have to say this, Aerospace Engineers build weapons, Civil Engineers build targets. Seriously though congratulations.

    Crew Sizes and the Exeter

    Believe it or not this is the kind of feedback I have been wanting for this thing for a very long time. I originally wrote this strictly to illustrate the crew for one of my carriers, hence some oddities and inflated figures in some areas. I then noticed a need for something like this over on...

    RELEASE: Wing Commander II Campaign Demo

    Very cool, my question, unless there has been a change in the code, can the freespace engine handle branching storylines? And if not, how do you plan to handle that in the mod, pick a single track, possibly with the most missions and go with that?

    Crew Sizes and the Exeter

    Iceblade you just illustrated the reason why I made the calculator, 750 crew for a ship with 104 fighters, it can't work, you have a total of 65 guys, plus additional chiefs to service 104 fighters, even then you have them operating in two shifts a day, the only way that would work is if it 6...

    Crew Sizes and the Exeter

    Playing with the crew calculator without kids crawling on me and I got the crew down to 513, breakdown is as follows: Command and control staff: 64 Medical: 21 (3 MDs, 6 nurses, 6 med techs, 6 life support) Engineering and Comms: 40 Food and Janitorial: 56 (this includes waste handling and...

    Crew Sizes and the Exeter

    Not sure if you are really interested in this or not, but it is relevant to this discussion, over on sci-fi meshes I have a crew calculator for figuring out just this sort of thing, crew numbers. And I will tell you this, Wing Commander woefully under-man's its ships, but then most sci-fi does...

    Kilrathi concept fighter

    Looking interesting and it appears that you are staying pretty faithful to the sketch, as much as you can anyway. Maybe its just me but I never cared for any of these Privateer online concept designs, they all look pretty bad in my opinion and do not at all look like they belong in Wing...

    Tigers Claw Model

    Great job Atek. that has to be the best Tiger's Claw model to date. I agree with lynx, about chamfering the hard edges a little, not much, just enough to soften them, see how it comes out. I also know you feel about trying model something so complex and nice in a modeler that isn't really made...

    Bengal Retrofit

    When I first saw this design on Sci-fi meshes my thought was this, "that it was the WCM Tiger's Claw should have looked like." Which made me think that maybe that was Striker's intention to make the Wing1 TC look more like it belonged in the WCM universe, trying to find some kind of middle...
