I would improve the above graphic a little. The gray "staircase" on the top left should be removed by placing some darker gray values in between. I understood, that the graphics are not yet ready... so I'm sure you are already working on it. The new cockpits however, with the 360 degree view...

Hehe, yes I always forget Wing Commander Arena, because I haven't played it. Thanks for the pictures!! The only ship looking a bit similar to an Arrow is the first scout version picture. The other ones ... well... are sort of "fat" and ugly. :eek: After all, everyone has different tastes, so no...

Ah, there it is. The good ol' "Arrow"... who would have thought that? And I thought the Arrow had been decommissioned at the latest since the Vampire was taken into service. :D

I remember that one, too. Good ol' days. They will never come back...

Beautiful models! Although the Vampire is a powerful fighter, it is less beautiful than the Excalibur and especially than the Arrow! :p But well, I'm really biased here... but I find the "old" ships like the Epee or Rapier more beautiful than the WC Prophecy ships.

Dear Adam, thank you very much for giving me this insight into your life back then. I am all the more pleased if I was able to make a positive contribution to the start of your family with my order. At the time, I really thought back and forth about whether I should really order this Arrow, as I...

That sounds indeed very, very interesting! Please keep me updated on this - I can't wait to hear more about it! ;)

Shame on me, you're right with the jump destination. Thanks for pointing that out... it seems that I'm more overworked, than I thought. You probably already knew this then too. Concerning the coordinates, radius and ids of the spheres for the navigation and jump points. Here the example of the...

Hi AllTinker, At first I'd like to thank you for your help! I've already analyzed the sector data with a normal HEX viewer up and down and so far your extracted data seems correct. However I've to add something for your tool. With SECTORS.IFF -> Sector Number -> SCTR -> PART -> JUMP The jump...

Extracting Privateer data... very interesting indeed. Even though LOAF has some extracted sector data, I would be keen to find out, if there is some hidden data because of the hidden jump points I've not been able to find again so far. The dialogues can be read right from the TRE file and I've...

Beautiful and must be about the size as my 3D printed Arrow model, which has been printed and painted by Adam Burch back in 2013. It is more than 20 cm long (about 21-22 cm I guess) ... I didn't take the glass cabin off to take the photos. I love it. @ Chris or LOAF ... if you like, you can...

Never underestimate a fast and maneuverable ship like the Arrow. And even though not as fast as the Armada Arrow, the WC3 Arrow could kick your ass with its auto sliding function just like the Excalibur (pressing Caps Lock). It's a pity that this function never worked reliable on the German...

So you mean, the cloaking device was added later even though it wasn't originally planned? The game would have been much more difficult without it. But then again, why do you have to fly the Excalibur? OK, obviously the Arrow doesn't have enough room for the templor bomb. A light fast fighter...

Well ... I've seen the last mission at a friend of mine first, who had a much faster computer in 1995 ... he had a 486 DX2-66 while I had only a 386 with 40 MHz, which was way too slow and without a CD-ROM drive. Good old days... But yeah ... I might have tried to cloak first, before fighting...

Hey everybody, it's a pity... or to say it with Catscratch's words: "I am very sorry, Sir!". So far, I've not found any other hidden jump points in Privateer. I've tweaked the game files and even flew with a much faster Centurion (over 4.000 kps max speed) through the sectors. Alas, I have not...

The Arrow is indeed beautiful! 😍

Wow, what an interesting fund. What a pity that they didn't include it in the final game. I don't think the game data would have grown too much to sell the game on floppy disks. Damn it. I really would have liked to fly these missions, although they tend to ruin your standing with the good...

Yes, I would actually look at it from the other direction: The first Privateer was just an epic game, but "Privateer 2: The Darkening" wasn't worth the name "Privateer" and was a total disappointment in my eyes. Freelancer was a much better game but not as good as good ol' Privateer!

Happy birthday your Highness! It's an honor to have you with us. Thank you for inspiring us for all these years! I've found something today... a little test I that I programmed back in 2010. A sidescroller test for an Wing Commander arcade game. I didn't finish it... not yet... you know the...

I hope you don't mind me answering in English... but it's easier for the others to understand. Even though I'm a native German speaker (obviously from Germany), I've seen lots of movies in English, because I just wanted to hear the original voice of the actors. However, I must say that I usually...
