    Videos of Wing Commander Missions

    A while ago, I started recording myself when flying in DOSbox (Ctrl+Alt+F5). I want to make a habit out of doing this every time I fly a mission (although I've forgotten it a couple of times), and then afterwards, especially in the case of a failed mission, watch the replay and analyze what went...

    How many cycles do you use (in DOSbox)?

    I understand there is no "correct" value to set your CPU cycles in DOSbox to. Also, people back in the day played the game on different kinds of machines, which may have established different impressions on what might be the "right" speed. So, I am curious on what value people here set their...

    [WC1] Spontaneuous Combustion -- is this normal?

    I was playing Enyo 2 and intentionally wanted to lose it, in order to get to Gateway. However, instead of just ejecting or blowing up the freighter myself, I just tagged along, but stayed out of the battle, while ordering Spirit to break and attack... This way, the battle went on while we...

    Online Score Stats list "-1085%" for "Blockade Run" performance

    Well... https://www.wcnews.com/standoffscores/pilot.php?id=7285 ...see? I haven't looked at it for some time, but I remember there was a valid percentage before. I haven't flown "The Blockade Run" since. Maybe, if I did that, it would correct itself? However, I'll refrain from doing that until...

    Bradshaw only utters his first line in intro/cutscenes

    I've noticed something odd which occurs regularly with Standoff on my machine. You know the intro where Bradshaw narrates? I only hear his first line, and after that it's subtitles only. At first I thought this was normal, but I saw at a friend's PC that the whole intro was voiced over...

    Score for "Convoy Strike" got listed - but I didn't survive!

    Yesterday I tried the Sim Mission "Convoy Strike" on difficulty level 3, flying a Morningstar. I managed to accumulate 2680 points, but then I got destroyed. I always thought, with the exception of missions 1 and 2, your score won't get submitted if you don't survive the mission. Yet...

    No Simulator in WC:Secret Ops

    I would have thought in Secret Ops there would be the same simulator as in Prophecy, but when I finally decided to give it a go and started Secret Ops (instead of Standoff), I found that there doesn't seem to be a simulator there. Is that true, or am I just too stupid to find the corresponding...

    Simulator Gauntlets - How are the enemies selected?

    That's pretty much a question to the developers, about how the enemy ships are "drawn", as in randomly selected, in Sim Missions 1 and 2, Kilrathi and Confed Gauntlets. Some observations I made: Kilrathi Gauntlet: The first few waves seem to consist only of Sarthas, Drakhris, Jalthis and...

    (Some minor) technical issues

    I've now been playing Standoff (mainly the Simulator though, I'll catch up with the campagin soon enough, no worries) for quite a while, and I'm overall very pleased and excited about this mod. Also I had the thought that many a commercial games would have crashed dozens of times already and had...

    Star Trek Voyager and Wing Commander II

    Propably there are some people here who know Star Trek: Voyager, and recently I noticed this: In the Voyager episode "Equinox", the starship Voyager - in case you did not know, they're stranded far out in the delta quadrant, cut off from Starfleet, and are basically trying to get back home -...

    Enemy ships/wingmen - limited Afterburner fuel, can suffer component damage?

    Enemy ships/wingmen - limited Afterburner fuel? can suffer component damage? Well, like the title says it, I'd like to know if enemy ships and also your wingmen have limited Afterburner fuel just like you and can have components shot out just like you do, or is the simulation of their ships...

    What's up with the Krants? (AI)

    I'm basically playing the Simulator a lot these days to get my skills up to the levels needed for the campaign (after I pretty much fell flat on my ass trying it the first time). So, in Kilrathi Gauntlet I'm getting quite frustrated with the Krants. It's not like they're killing me, but they...
