    How old is a Kilrathi?

    I know that discussions have been had about exactly how old blair is at any given time but does anyone know how old some of the kilrathi characters are meant to be and how long does a kilrathi live for, if he lives to old age? Thrakath was about in action stations and obviously up to the end of...

    Could WC1 be made better?

    I was thinking, maybe this has been banded around and given up as a bad game but I think a WC1 remake in the style of UE would be awesome. The guys already have some of the ships and obviosuly the carrier. I think far from being crap it would compliment the original. I know that coming up...

    Hey chaps. I don't really see the appeal of the post WCP era. To my mind the earlier wing games had a lot more scope for imagination on behalf of the player. Developing that timeline would be great, it seems to be the time when there is a gap in what most people know about WC, well me anyway...

    Ultima Online

    This is nice and off the topic of the whole WC thing but I only trust the opinions of the people here. I am wanting to get into the whole Ultima online thing but I am not too sure how to go about it. There seems to be so many UO games I don't know which one to buy and whether it makes a...

    Dosbox and WC2 on CD

    Here is a quick question. I have dosbox and wanted to play wc2 using it. Now, I have the CD version where the bat and exe files are on the CD and it writes gamedat to the hard drive. I have mounted both the c:\origin2 file and the d:\ so that it will refer. However, it is telling me that it...

    Ship Names, Political Ramifications

    I thought about it and it strikes me as a little odd. The ship names in WC for the most part are taken from current or past ships for example the Lexington, Coventry, or after famous battles, Wake Island or Tarawa. My only problem really seems to be the distribution of the names. Lexington...

    When will I see Saga

    When do we expect to see saga guys. I am looking forward to it. All this waiting is a little bit annoying. I have almost finished my degree, once I leave Uni and get a job what am I going to do to while away all the hours whilst there is no assignment work to be done

    Wing Commander Superstitions

    I was playing on WC1 the other day and I remembered my superstition. In the sequence after the briefing where the two blokes are running to the ships I always have and still believe that if the guy at the front is wearing a cap the mission will be easy and I will kick butt. However if he is...

    Pulling Rank

    Just a quick question for you guys. Is it possible, by playing through all the secret missions and all, to become a full colonel in WC1. I hope it is cos I am working really hard. Also, I was playing around in the mission where you have to bring back the dralthi and you are in the scimitar...

    End Run, The Movie?

    I have often thought that End Run would have made a much better movie than the WC one that was made. The question is who would make the film come alive. I have thought about it and I reckon that these would do it for me. Captain O'brien - Gene Hackman Bondarevsky - Cuba Gooding Jr Svetlana...

    Real Life

    You know, it occurred to me as I sat down here at my computer on a rainy June evening (yes I know, crap weather in wales even in june). I used to devote so much of my life, expending so much emotional energy on characters, and working so hard to acheive something with little meaning beyond that...

    Old or New School?

    It occurs to me that as the WC universe got more realistic it sort of lost its charm as far as I was concerned. I was hoping that it had the same effect on everyone. Come to think of it all computer games lost their charm when they got too realistic. Instead of being a way of escaping the real...
