Most places have erased their April dates and replaced them with new ETA's about 4-6 weeks out. Everyone seems to continually organize around the same times, so it's amazing that so many coordinated dates have fallen through. At this rate, we may yet be able to get you impressions on the game from E3. In case you missed the earlier note, we have postponed the launch party event.
It's come to our attention that some people out there are selling CDs with the Wing Commander Academy television show burned to them. These aren't going for cheap either. In case some people have missed our menu link, the entire series is available for free in divx form from our mirror generously donated by Lord Nightwalker. Note that the sound may not work with the newest versions of the divx codec, so we have provided the original 3.11 version just in case. Let us know if there's a newer version that still plays sounds. Also don't forget we also have more than just episodes for download. The original Press Kit has been digitized with background info about the series. There has also been some confusion about episode numbering. I'll let LOAF clear that one up.
There's three ways to order the Academy episodes -- production order, order aired and order in which they take place. The 'download links' at the CIC are the order as they originally aired on USA:
Episode 01 - Red & Blue
Episode 02 - The Last One Left
Episode 03 - The Most Delicate Instrument
Episode 04 - Word of Honor
Episode 05 - Lords of the Sky
Episode 06 - Chain of Command
Episode 07 - Expendable
Episode 08 - Recreation
Episode 09 - Walking Wounded
Episode 10 - On Both Your Houses
Episode 11 - Invisible Enemy
Episode 12 - The Price of Victory
Episode 13 - Glory of Sivar
The order in which they 'take place' is as follows:
Episode 01 - Red & Blue
Episode 02 - The Last One Left
Episode 03 - The Most Delicate Instrument
Episode 04 - Word of Honor
Episode 05 - Lords of the Sky
Episode 06 - Expendable
Episode 07 - Chain of Command
Episode 08 - Walking Wounded
Episode 09 - Invisible Enemy
Episode 10 - Recreation
Episode 11 - On Both Your Houses
Episode 12 - The Price of Victory
Episode 13 - Glory of Sivar
I don't have a copy of the production order handy at work, but I *believe* the only
difference between as-produced and as-aired was that "Word of Honor" and
"Lords of the Sky" were swapped.
