Wing Commander coverage?
It has come to our attention that there is some interest to see HLP Wing Commander discussion boards. This poll is to measure how much interest there would initially be and if that is enough to create Wing Commander discussion boards.

It has long been a topic of discussion among us admins whether we should actively pursue covering other games as well. In the past there has been a few attempts with this, such as I-War 2 boards for example. But since IW2 never gained a big and active community, the boards here died as well. It is also much more difficult to try to cover already established and well-known franchises such as Wing Commanded which already have communities with long history. However, it was brought to our attention that many members in already existing Wing Commander communities would be interested in alternatives due to many reasons which often are specific to their current community. I feel that we may be able to offer that alternative they are seeking by being the friendly and active community that we are.

The HLP admins will leave the decision to you, the community and any visitors from other communities who'd like to cast their vote.


Edit: This poll is now closed and final decision can be read from this post.

One franchise cannot hate another, it's the fans that might. Read the popular topic in the WCS board if you want some details. :)

Re: Wing Commander coverage?
No objections here. I like Wing Commander :) And let's face it, Freespace is no longer just a game universe, it's also an engine that can, among other things, be applied to the WC universe as the Saga is doing, so it would sorta make sense to include those universes which are 'ported' to FS_open.

Re: Wing Commander coverage?
I am totally in favor of the idea!

Whether some of the fans like to admit it or not, FS and WC have a somewhat symbiotic relationship. There are many people who like both, and it would be great to have a place here where people who like both can speak freely and share ideas.

I believe in synergy, and I think this is a great idea.
What we perceive is more a reflection of ourselves than of our environment.

At first I was against the idea. For not particular reason. I'm a "not all egges in the same sleeve" guy.

But now that I brought myself up to speed with the current situation with the CIC... Yeah, it could be interesting... :drevil:

Re: Wing Commander coverage?
You mean the HLP mainpage? Totally depends on how popular WC boards would become. The FSWiki will stay just that, FSWiki. If popularity demands, there will be another wiki for WC.

In light of recent drama at the CIC (I'm d3r3k there too), I wouldn't mind having Wing Commander boards here.

Re: Wing Commander coverage?
I never played Wing Commander...

I didn't voted yet. I don't know why we should talk about WC when there are many other space game series without a piece of thread(like the beautiful Colony Wars for Playstation 1,Ace Combat for PlayStation 1/2).

There is a WC Conversion in the working. Just add another subforum to it.

Re: Wing Commander coverage?
Unless we're expecting CIC's locals to desert en masse and clog the WC Saga forums, I don't think there's a real reason to do this.

And the above-mentioned is not likely from the sound of things.
