I've just played this mission not long ago, and it was the first time I actually engaged and destroyed that convoy (and got chewed up for it, of course, but boy, was it worth it!). Every other time I've played before, I got the normal convoy-sighted debriefing with no trouble. I doubt Iceman's...

Well... I ended up going back to that mission and actually concluding it with Maniac alive. Funny thing is, apparently, not even the game designers seem to have thought that possible, because, in the next (final) mission, you can't talk to Maniac. He is there, launches along with you, but...

Hello, guys. Long time no see. Something just happened that made me want to share a little anecdote. It had been some 2 years since I had played any Wing Commander. I.E., decidedly too much. I still had my old games running on DOSBox but, to get a new freshstart, I decided to repurchase the...

I'm such a fanboy. I went and bought the whole haul. Well, but for the games I already owned, and all...

Aawww... No news here... :(

Hmmmm... I do believe they'd demand some hard evidence from you... And the evidence you do have simply does not exist in that universe! :rolleyes:

I don't think I'd ever join any military force, even Confed's... I'd never really fit in a rigid military hierarchy. Well... any rigid hierarchy... However, there's a very good chance that I'd sign up with Taryn Cross in the exploration service. To discover new systems, new worlds... Yeah...

Hey! Thanks! I'm certainly gonna give'em a try! :)

Hey! Don't forget the classics! Master of Orion and Master of Orion 2 are still my favoured space strategy games! :D

I'm really confused, too. What exactly are these SM3 and Rise to Honor? :confused:

I like it, but this Francis Mueller seems rather clueless, for a successful smugler, huh? Seems like he and his crew are the only ones who don't know what's happening! :D

One thing I never understood in WC4 was why all the fuus about the Dragon's afterburners. Hack, I had those in my Tarsus years earlier, for crying out loud! My favourite tactic to beat Seether was just to fire dumbfires at him when he made his attack run. Poor Seether. He thinks he's the...

Oh, dang it! Sorry, people, I got carried away in the argument... I started questioning why Thrakhath wasn't executed, and ended up questioning why Gilkarg was executed... :eek: Well, to clear things up, you all are right when you say that 20 years of failure merited Gilkarg's execution, and...

Promises at the start of a war are thrown to the winds as soon as the enemies have their say about it. The Emperor understood that. He himself had fought a war (against the Varni) that had been way more difficult than anticipated. And, as I said, he himself took the decision of not following...

It really doesn't matter who really deserves the credit for the victory. Gilkarg planed and commanded the attack. The glory was his to take. What post war cats could say about the war in hindsight woudn't weight on a decision taken 20 years into the war... :rolleyes: Then, the blame...

I do agree with you. But the enormous size of the territory the Kilrathi grabbed with that attack is what made it their "greatest victory ever", and possibly what gave then the edge they held over Confed for most of the war. Also, it's moot to blame Gilkarg alone by the war. They're the sons...

The bitter irony is that it was the Emperor's own decision, after being intimidated by the fierceness of the Confed counter-attack, to not follow up that initial attack with the push to Earth that would win them the war in 2634. And even without that, Gilkarg's plan was considered the...

Maybe the Kilrathi concept of honor is not so simple and well defined. Although the core tenets of that honor code are clearly uphold by any honor-bound Kilrathi warrior, it's possible that many other notions are not equally accepted by every clan. Thrakath was above assassination attempts on...

The way I see it, I don't know how Thrak escaped his father's fate. Gilkarg was executed over the loss of a dreadnought. Thrakhath, on the other hand, had a Sivar-Eshrad gone fubar - with the Kilrathi suffering terrible losses in the prossess. After this, he promised to delivery Earth to the...

Well, I just had lunch in my favorite restaurant and ended up eating a bit too much for my sake... I'm so full that looking at those pancakes is really rubbing me the wrong way. Man, I don't wanna see food in front of me anytime soon... :o
