Erm, prologue? A touch vague. Which game?

Hi Snail. Prologue 1.0. I only signed up last week and downloaded it. I loved it. I was looking at the main wcsaga page and that was the only release available, obviously I am missing something.

Thanks for the quick reply.

So the correct answer would be Wing Commander Saga. And therefore the correct place would have been the Wing Commander Saga board. Generel FreeSpace Discussion is meant more for discussion about various FreeSpace-related things.

Moved.

Everything that has been released so far can be found from the WCS website and this board.

Thanks, as I mentioned in post 01, I am new to all this internet stuff and online games etc. One final question before you get angry with me. Is there a sequence in the games?

Regards
Birdman

 
Hi Birdman,
WCS Prologue is only like a demo for Wing Commander Saga.
The main campaign is already in work.

You re looking for more stuff?? then look here: http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php?topic=50151.0

Greetings Peter

Hello Birdman,

we are hard at work to release the Main Campaign. The prologue was really a demo but as the name suggests also the prologue for our main story. We haven't released anything in terms of the main campaign yet because we decided against an episodic release and for a full release of the entire game.
That is still some time off, but if you'd like to play: Most people at first sight miss the simulator missions in the prologue (Go to tech room, mission simulator, single missions) and we also released some wc3/4 content-using tech-demos, which you might enjoy.

In terms of the mani campaign, as you can imagine, I can't give you a releasedate but rest assured everyone on the team is working very hard for a release as soon as possible.

  • If somebody made a campaign I've probably got it
Tinman also has a campaign out called Behind enemy lines.  You can find it on FreeSpaceMods.net.  See link below  

http://www.freespacemods.net/download.php?view.529

The WC3 and WC4 are the tech demos 1 and 2 on the wing commander website.  WC4 is a multibranching campaign with several different options based on your choices.  WC3 is mainly single missions.
This link will get you to the downloads

Normal people believe that if it isn't broke, don't fix it. Engineers believe that if it isn't broke, it doesn't have enough features yet.
The difference between Mechanical Engineers and Civil Engineers is:
Mechanical Engineers build weapons.  Civil Engineers build targets
An optimist sees the glass half full; the pessimist sees it half empty. An engineer sees that the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the info and hard work. I have switched from flt sim to space sim this week and I am enthrawled by the graphics and story line.

Once again many thanks.
