    Need help with X-Wing

    X-Wing was a really fun, though relatively easy, game. I loved the fact you could make your wingmen and was bummed that you lost that feature in TIE Fighter. The hardest capships for me to take down in X-Wing were the Nebulon B frigates; everything else was pretty cake. Of course, I loved...

    WC1: KS Speed Issues

    You could also try adjusting the in-game framerate to speed up or slow down the KS: WC-1.

    Idea: Tips for new players

    I'd wager that the AI automatically utilizes the turret(s) on a ship, but since I'm still in my Tarsus in the remake, I can't verify that for sure.

    Mark Hamill's A Friendly Guy (April 25, 2005)

    Of the choices up there, I voted for Spirit's death. I was really quite upset when that occurred, especially given the surrounding circumstances. The most emotional moment in all of WC, for me, was Vagabond's death. I remember staring slack-jawed at my monitor when it happened; Vagabond was...

    New user, have a few questions.

    In this version, I'm pretty sure you can see your faction standing when you access a mission computer terminal.

    Advice to Defeat Fralthra in Ghorah Khar 2-D (Final Mission of SO 1)

    This mission has always been a bear to complete. Sometimes, if you're lucky, you can actually split the antimatter shot (i.e. fly in between the two large blue balls) but more often than not, it takes numerous torpedo run setups before you get the right timing to land a torp on the thing's...

    Voice acting.

    I'm lagging way behind on my stuff, I know. Promise I haven't forgotten, though! I'm gonna get it done soon, before the baby arrives, because I know I definately won't have time after that. Even if I did, I doubt anyone wants to hear a crying baby during combat :) I'll check the FTP site...

    NFL team picks for 2004

    I'd love my Raiders to take the AFC West, but I think it's going to wind up being Denver, assuming Plummer stays smart and they have a WR or two step up. For the overall AFC, I think the Colts or Titans will make it through the long haul and the Vikings or Eagles on the NFC side.

    Help with WC2 final mission

    I usually take down Thrak with guns; he tend to prove fairly adept at avoiding missiles though if you time it right you can probably catch him with one and at least knock his sheilds down some. If I recall correctly, Sarthas only have 2 Neutron guns, weak armor, and decent speed, so a few...

    Just FYI, I'm still alive over here; job layoff and some other real life stuff have taken up my time as of late. I'm still on my role, though, no worries. I'll be getting you guys stuff soon.

    Space shooters not dead after all

    Anyone planning to play Vendetta Online when it comes out? That didn't look half bad when I checked it out a few months ago.

    WC1 Secret Missions 1

    Secret Missions 2, you're talking about? SM-1 dealt with the Goddard Colony massacre. If you "win" SM-2, the Firekka are saved; I don't know exactly what the losing ending is, but maybe that's the one you're seeing?

    need help on wc2 mission.

    Try and take out the Jalk's before you start your torpedo runs. They should be easier to kill than the first wave of fighters because they're slower. Just avoid those rear turrets. :)

    Hi-Res Dralthi

    Actually, I think the blue engines look cool. In the game, I think they glowed a dull red, and I can't remember if they flamed up at all with afterburners on, but I think they did.
