One of the space flight combat games I had long enjoyed on the PC throughout the late 90's was Wing Commander. I was thinking over the past week how awesome a Wing Commander series would work on the FP system. There are so many craft that can be modeled without running into the tech generational issues that you can run into with Star Wars (ie EU v Clone Wars).

I've had visions of Hellcats v. Dralthis, or even Nephelim and Border Worlder factions in play.

What do y'all think about WC on Flightpath?

I think it would be awesome and I would love to see it.

Of course, since Wing Commander and the Ultima games are in the same universe, and in Ultima 1 you fought TIE Fighters, this all works out. I want the Avatar as a unique pilot.

As a HUGE fan of Ultima I, II, III, IV as well as a fan of Wing Commander 1 and 2, I'm a little surprised about this. When was it announced that fuzzies, Exodus, and the Avatar were in the same universe as the Kilrathi?

Please show me a link that proves the connection?

That said, I too recall how Ultima 1 had a tie fighter dogfight. Ahh the memories of my days in the mid to late 1980s.... Playing Ultima all summer long and listening to New Order or the Pet Shop Boys... Wow! That makes me OLD!

I have photographic evidence. Here is the Avatar and some friends wandering next to a Kilrathi starship in a field from Ultima 7:

Also, for those of you who aren't familiar, a screenshot from Ultima 1:

LOL Gryphon! I too played these games! I loved Ultima! ... though I - III were a bit confusing ....

The Avatar as an unique pilot! :lol:

Hail thee, Avatar!

Choose your starship!

I would love to see this too. There are plenty of WC minis available on Shapeways...

A Wing Commander game would be awesome. I spent many an hour playing those games, and loved every minute of it.

Wing Commander with the FP rules? Would love to see some Hellcats and Scimitars, and Dralthis and Jalthis, and the Morningstar with the mace missile. ;3

(waiting for Blair to break out his trusty lightsaber...)

That was cool!

I would like to see that Rapier design that was in the Wing Commander movie. I kinda like it, but the Wing Commander games from the 90s were WAYYYY better than the movie.

If only Captain Panaka, Fred and Shaggy DIDN'T get cast in it.

Oh dear sweet gods, that movie was abhorrent.

just.. just.. owwww.

I have to agree with Spoony, take one look at the film cover, and immediately break into screaming hysterics.

If you haven't, look up the Wing Commander review on the Spoony Experiment. The review is epic. The movie was not.

Is this a fake or kind of a joke?

Star Citizen? No, it's a very real project in the works.

Yeah, Star Citizen is looking good. I backed it during the kickstarter phase. I can't wait. It's the Wing Commander creator's (Chris Roberts) return to PC gaming and he's doing it in a big way. Totally real, totally awesome, can't wait.

I got in on it too. I really, really miss wing commander. Especially Privateer. [privateer 2 is dead to me. that was not the WC universe]
