Talk:Wing Commander (video game)

message: Wing Commander Saga is a stand alone game that is a modification of the pseudo open source FreeSpace 2 Source Code Project. I haven't played any of them but I think fans will like to investigate and make a reference.

thread_title:  No love for Wing Commander Saga 

message: * Losing mission: I don't know where the "fight off a destroyer" bit comes from; it's certainly not in the game.
* Confederate vs. Confederation: both are correct, but Confederation is used far more and has become defacto standard. I have changed this to reflect it.
* re: "silent protagonist"; Blair has lines (during briefings, debriefings), he just doesn't say much.
*  Angel is Belgian, per Claw Marks.
* Maniac is a 2nd Lt., ibid.
* Paladin a major
* Knight's second home town comes from the SNES port of WCI. For some reason (lingering bad feelings over apartheid's legacy?), Khumalo's place of birth was changed.
* Halcyon is the Wing Commander, not the CAG (who is unknown).
* Fighter designations come from WC Bible and are non-canonical.
* Rapier (II, per KS Manual) entered service in 2654, not 55 (which was the Sivar-Eshrad).
* Scimitar date is wrong. Unsure of origin - Fleet Tactics?
Also rewrote article to flow better ... as a final note, dislinked many articles in prep for deletion.
Bob,
* Iceman's history: taken directly from Prima Games' Official Guide to Wing Commander Prophecy ().  Virtually identical to Hawk's, yeah, but, it's what Origin says.
* Hell's Kitchen mission: I stalled at Gimle or something and never kept playing, so getting data from WCNews's Game Guides.  Quoting Halcyon's briefing: "The Tiger's Claw is currently here. There's a Kilrathi destroyer -- a Ralari -- near Nav 1, here, and closing. The Tiger's Claw is headed for her jump point here, at Nav 2. There are dozens of enemy fighters in the area. I need someone to head off the Ralari, and detain or destroy her while the Claw prepares for her jump."  Is this wrong?  (http://www.wcnews.com/guides/wc1hellskitchen.shtml)
* Scimitar date, fighter designations: yes, Fleet Tactics.
* re all others: Oops, my bad.  Thanks for covering my six.  =)

message: The article currently states "He lacked Maniac's utter self-absorption, however, and flies on the player's wing during the final missions of the game, suggesting that he is, in fact, the best pilot on the Claw.".
I don't believe this statement is true, (sounds POV actually) and if nobody is opposed I'm going to remove it.  Iceman is regarded as the best pilot on the carrier in the game, in fact Shotglass says he's the best the Claw has before one of the missions (Gimle I think).

message: Someone with some good cites should add something to the article about how the game was originally going to be titled Wingleader (it even appeared in some Origin catalogs with that name) but had to be changed to Wing Commander for trademark reasons. 76.226.131.142 (talk) 23:15, 24 June 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wingleader 

message: Is it possible for someone to flesh out the details on the various console/16-bit computer ports? Just saying the game was ported (and a list of systems) seems a little pointless (and not very encylopedic).
I've done some online searching for the SNES version, but there's no info out there..... So updating and expanding this page would be very useful.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.124.188.20 (talk) 23:55, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
