Goober actually wanted to implement taunting after 3.6.9 :)

Ya.  Along with requesting clearance and other neat comm menu stuff.

That would be awesome :)  I was just afraid to ask for that since we already have so many wishes :D

9 out of 10 voices in my head always tell me that I'm not insane. The 10th is only humming the melody of TETRIS.

Well, if it makes you feel better, I consider taunting and requesting clearance to be one request, since the same code will be used for both. :p

 
Marvellous stuff! It brings tears of joy and nostalgia to this Wing Commander fan that has been dying for revisit to that universe.

I forgotten the pessimistic and hopeless mood of the Wing Commander saga, but this project brings it out well, especially with the accompanying fiction.

However, I don't recall the fighters being that manueverable. The first time I got on the Arrow, well I had to get used to the way it can turn one eighty in a second. And the Thunderbolt's turning is very tolerable. Perhaps it is just me, who somehow managed to play Wing Commander 3 using just the keyboard.

And one last thing: the soundtrack sounds unusually muted. The voices, however are crisp and clear. You sure all spent a few recording them!

The flying feeling is a bit different than what you might remember. The rotation time values however are exactly the same as in Wing Commander 3 :)

We used ADPCM compression for the prologue, for the main release we will switch to ogg compressed music.

Why are the pilots talking about new year resolutions when the fiction tells us it is Summer?

hi,
idea: they are australian, australian is on the southside of the earth, if we have winter, they have summer.
so they have summer if they celebrate the new year *g*

so the only mistake was doesnt to say that they are australian *gggg*

It is supposed to be a new "fiscal year" for the military, which means new funding, etc, etc, etc, instead of a calendar year :)

Maybe we should explain such little "gags" a little more for those not knowing the whole story or aren't native english speakers.

You are the best it worked perfectly no bugs, looked great was voice acted 10/10 a bit short but it was only a prolouge so thats ok....

Now I just need to find a thread that deals with the timeline since I couldent figure out if the game occurs after the movie Wing Commander or before.

Nice work with the Prolugue WC Saga Team! :yes:

It has only two fatal flaws: 1. It is too short 2. It has a limited number of craft and options...But it's a demo after all
Hope that you will finish the final release in the same style and quality as the Prologue  :)

  • If it bleeds, I can mod it
Finished two weeks ago, but haven't had time to write this post. :p Anyway great job. Altough I'm not WC fan (I haven't even played any of WCs), I had a lot of fun playing it. Five very good missions and good situation developement gives nice plot background. From graphic point of view it doesn't look so good, hope you'll make HTL pack with main mod release. ;) The only flaw I've seen is that capships are very easy to destroy, all you need to do is to position yourself behind them where they haven't got AF turrets and disarm them turret by turret, not like in FreeSpace where there's nothing such as dead zone and blowing up capship on Medium skill level was real PITA. :/
If in your opinion there's no difference beetwen "Master Game" and "Game Master", I can only feel for you.

Easy with Torpedos but with just your normal weapons it should be a little bit more difficulte...depending on what settings you are playing.

Oh, and I fail to see any connection between HTL and "good looking", but maybe it is just me :)
