    Drop Bomber Ballots Here (March 6, 2010)

    What Vinman said. Most of the others are a lot of fun but feel more like heavy fighters to me, and I like the more extreme transition of switching to a broadsword. With the broadsword, I can keep on making my approach and fight ships off with my turrets and superior shields, while with the...

    Gwenhyvar's Rapiers

    I also thought it was odd, not so much that they had rapiers, but that they had so MANY of them. I had been under the impression that there just weren't very many available yet. You also see some Kilrathi rapiers in SM2.

    Privateer Ships

    I like the Tarsus in the original because it can mount two torpedo launchers and therefore carry a lot of torps. Privateer torps are cheap and fantastic. I usually start out by selling the missile launcher, buying torpedo launchers, and obliterating anything that annoys me with them. The...

    New Gamefaqs Poll feat. WC

    That's what my coworkers and I were all saying today, too.

    Wing Commander MUSH revival?

    I always find these interesting, but I have weird social anxiety when it comes to in-character roleplaying, so I almost never wind up sticking with a heavily RP-focused MU* or other game. Even though I like the concept of them and think I'd like participating, I always feel inadequate when it...

    Poll for Paper Commander: What's next?

    I gotta vote for the Plunkett, since Dave Plunkett, the artist who created the original 3D model, wants to see it. Edit: I agree with Eder, below, that all the options are awesome. My runners-up are probably the Armada Gladius and the Standoff Stilletto, mosty because I love flying those ships...

    I like how LeHah's reply shows this thread in another tab :)

    WC2 DosBox 7 Problem...

    Or you could just do: loadfix -32 wc2 If you don't specify a file to execute, loadfix will stay resident until you call it again.

    What car do you drive?

    Jeez, some of you drive older cars than me... 1990 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera Still gets about 30 MPG. In the city.

    Just discovered a new mission

    I pick Gladius first where possible. I have a fondness for it from Armada.

    Melees, Midways or Meteors? (July 9, 2007)

    I always loved the Midway defense missions in Prophecy, so I gotta pick Gauntlet. Kill! Everything! Fast!

    Wrath of Khan

    According to my Star Trek Encyclopedia (yes, I have a Star Trek Encyclopedia, stop looking at me that way), "Normally, full impulse speed is about half the speed of light". It does not appear to have top impulse speeds listed for any particular ships or ship classes, since those are probably...

    Arena Gets European Rating (June 5, 2007)

    I could play atari 2600 and C64 games when I was 3. I'm glad I don't live in Germany. I'd be too old to play Arena there.

    Gladius gets the bad rap...

    I always liked the Armada Gladius, and I like the Standoff Gladius. Never really paid much attention to the Privateer Gladii - I don't usually bother fighting confed or militia when I'm being naughty. Although I might at some point if I continue my current game (in which I'm friendly to...

    YOU'RE INVITED: our custom leaderboard...

    That would be me, I played it in the arcades, and also have the NES version... and I totally forgot how much harder the arcade version was (although I did remember that it didn't have as many stages or bosses).

    Do you plan to try before you buy?

    And, putting my money where my mouth is, I now have a 360.

    Do you plan to try before you buy?

    I'm going to buy as soon as it's released (unless it's released before the other 360 stuff I ordered arrives, then I'd have to wait), but even if it sucks at least I'll have Orta, which they added to the compatability list a couple weeks ago and ordered last week.
