American President John F. Kennedy spoke these words at Rice University on 12 September 1962, igniting an American drive to the Moon. The goal was achieved when just under seven years later, American astronaut Neil Armstrong became the first Human to step foot on the surface of the Moon on 20...

Over the years, Wingnuts have come up with various workarounds, patches, and methods to take advantage of the Wing Commander multiplayer options. That information has been scattered across dozens of places for years but we now bring it to you in one easy to access, and update, location: The Wing...

That does look really nice!

Holy WOW! Those are amazing to see!

Congratulations to everyone involved with the projects! It's amazing, and great, to see the love and effort all you put into your projects for the rest of us to enjoy!

"Here she is: one Hellcat V. She's prepped, primed, loaded, locked -- and ready to kick some ass." - Chief Tech Rachel Coriolis, TCS Victory, 2669. A Hellcat stands guard at the TCSF Flight School on Sirius. The Hellcat V was a mid-war Terran Confederation medium fighter which served with...

We can always hope...

I'm curious as to why they designed the killshot in that manner. I'm guessing it might have been easier to script the movie to play once a torpedo had been fired opposed to when it impacted the ship. Or maybe that doesn't really matter? It really makes it a race to lock since trying to shoot...

Such a great game! We've had a lot of fun exploring some of the features and oddities of the game on All Wings Considered.

I've greatly enjoyed what I've played of the game so far. I started out following my basic plan from Privateer (stay in the first system, build up a decent amount of cash before venturing out) and I've since upgraded to a new ship and finally got a jump drive...but haven't used it just yet. And...

The Armada game was a lot of fun! Having played Chris before, years ago, I remembered he's very good at developing his infrastructure. The map wasn't the best, with only a single connecting jumpline, but still a great battle. And, of course, right after we finished LOAF figured out what was...

Unfortunately, Pericles didn't do an Excalibur but he has a ton of guidelines and files for making paper models of tons of WC ships. Paper Commander

That's one great thing about the CIC Discord server. Confed has reps on hand to help process your reenlistment paperwork! Feel free to drop in. https://discord.gg/WRNfeyv

Black Ops Hellcat. It gets mentioned in the WC4 novelization, "The Price of Freedom." In the novel, they are flown a number of times by Seether and the other Black Lance pilots at certain parts of the plot.

So, what it sounds like, Howie, is you need to hang out in #modding-chat on the CIC's Discord!

No worries, I moved it over for you.

Fantastic, Howard!

I think Chris is right that the WC3 capship battles sometimes get forgotten. My favorite mission in the entire series is WC3's Hyperion 2. Every nav point has a capship battle starting with destroyers battling it out, then a destroyer against a Kilrathi carrier, and ending in the Ajax blasting...

Those were really great call outs! A lot of the references go over my head from Priv2 so it's great to have someone provide context around them. And like AD said, these type posts are really great. It adds to the depth we know from the games and is wonderful to learn. Keep posts like that coming!

We certainly plan to explore as many angles as we can when it comes to the real world equivalents of what we see in Wing Commander. If you think of something historical, send it in and we'll add it to our queue. Dr. Burrows was LOAF's idea (and Clyde is his brother!). It's a play on the old...
