I don't much like the idea of a Vampire squardron. But that's mainly because a "vampire" in navspeak is an inbound anti-ship missile.

Ok, I' ll chime in, not only just to quote a name but also to once again say...

THANK YOU! as loudly as can be heard for all the hard work you guys have comitted in this, and how it will all work out for the best of us all. We all love FS, and having it been reborn is nothing but miraculous in my book. Now that my nose is really brown :D I can release the names...

23rd Raving Rhinos
11th BlitzPigs (sorry couldn't resist) :D
45th Grumpy Oldmen

59th Howling Hyainas
49th Sitting Bulls
99th Terra Firmas

and the piece de resistance

13th Grateful dead  :nod:
If you want to be ready for Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn, then download and play the prologue first.

The 13th Grateful Dead gets the unconditional support of the Joint Chiefs Of Staff and the President of the High Council of Selectah.

As a result, by direct presidential order, the matter regarding the naming of the thirteenth squadron is now resolved without need for further proceedings.

Thank you for your anticipated co-operation.

112th Interceptor Squadron "Angels High"
12th Recon Wing "Phantoms" (Loki/Valkyrie anyone?)
21st Heavy Bombardment Squadron "Hammers"
174th Medium Bomber Squadron "Novas"
307th Heavy Fighter Squadron "Black Death" (works nicely for a specops unit, don't it?)
20th Recon Wing "Eyes and Ears"

And, for a different feel, Vasudan squadron names if you should ever need them for some reason. (Although personally, because Vasudans place such an emphasis on language, I think they only name elite units.)

2nd Scout-Bomber Squadron "Wrath"
129th Fighter Squadron "Steadfast"
402nd Interceptor Squadron "Grace"
42nd Heavy Fighter Squadron "Death"

You could also raid the list of squadrons aboard the Aquitaine.

Axem - Sorry to post again when I said I was leaving for good, but something was nagging me. I don't want to say it in a way that shames the campaign but I think we can all agree it is actually.. incomplete. It is missing... Voice Acting.
Quanto - I for one would love to lend my beautiful singing voice into this wholesome project.
Nuclear1 - I want a duet.
AndrewofDoom - Make it a trio!

If the player is part of GTI, then why not make him a member of the 99th Skulls?

On a slightly off-topic note, did you ever fix that Ross 128 mission so it would work under Windows XP, Goober?  I never did get to play it...

Also, this is my first time on the forums in like, a year. :nervous:
We have returned to continue our purification of this galaxy. It is again your turn to be crushed beneath the great force that is the Antaran army. All your petty squabbling with the other beings in this galaxy is meaningless. The Antaran fleet will destroy you all, one by one. You may not surrender. You cannot win. Your only option is death.

I fixed it so it would play, at any rate.  It needed a campaign file.  New version is here:

If you're having problems under XP then that's something different.  Try running in compatibility mode.

I just thought of one:


The 312th BOFH
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

Since this seems to be the current ST:R thread, I noticed that in the MTMTE mission, some of the Vasudan messages are half lost in 640x480 res. The "chatter 6" msg is over four lines long in 640x480, and  w/out VO, half the info is invisible. Just figured I'd point it out. Otherwise, brill job.

PS: Whilst nitpicking, how's about four different waypoints for Kappa's departure in the C&D mission? To avoid the amateurish bunching up and following intercollision stuff of the wing, y'know. Just to add that petite touche par excellence.
