Agreed, that Hornet is too big. Rescale with the weapons included, I think. It looks good though!

I think I see what you're getting at. Fair enough. At least we agree that SQ42 should be worth the wait, regardless of how the rest of the game turns out.

You saw something in the original pitch that was worth backing though, right?

Yes well, time will tell I suppose. I'm confident that if anyone can pull this off, the CIG team can. Besides, you don't push the boundaries of gaming by playing it safe. Chris did stuff in the past while making Wing Commander and Strike Commander that few thought was possible.

I'm curious, what game did you back?

Yes, he pitched a 6 million dollar game, and then suddenly ends up with way more than that. Most other people would have made the 6 million dollar game and pocketed the rest. Instead he decided to go all the way and make the game we funded. Having watched that Alpha 3.0 demo, I'd say it was...

You really need to watch that video I linked... As for balance, flying big ships takes a lot of work and a big crew. They will be expensive to insure and hellishly expensive to outfit. Then there's the risk that one guy comes along with a well-placed torpedo and blows your big investment to...

Keep in mind that this is the game Chris has always wanted to make. The features being added are there because they are part of the overall design vision. As for the ships, each of them represents a potentially different and unique way to play the game. Yes, Privateer was and is great fun, but...

Seen this yet?

Sure, we'll probably find bugs the QA folks miss. However, SQ42 needs to be considerably more polished at release than the current alpha builds. There's "Oh look, here's a little clipping" bugs, and game breaking Arkham Knight disaster level bugs. CIG simply cannot afford the latter, given how...

Squadron 42 is the next Wing Commander, the 21st century AAA Chris Roberts game. I doubt Chris will be happy if it doesn't work well out of the gate...

We'll save you a seat in a Hornet.

Safe to say you won't get playable framerates with that rig. Sorry mate. It may run, but you won't enjoy the experience.

Eighteen years... What testament to the awesomeness of the WC series, and the dedication of the fans who still love and support it. So proud to be here. Happy birthday!

Better late than never. Happy birthday!!!

Minimum specs are a bit outdated I think. Give me your system specs and I'll make a prediction for you

CONGRATS! *Insert random Big Bang Theory joke here*

HW:R includes the original and remastered versions of both games, as far as I know. At least, the version I bought does.

Marrrrrrrghvellous!

Noted and thank you. Looking forward to seeing the mod resurface looking better than ever!
