I actually removed it. My webspace is down that´s why I´m not using a pic of my sig. That should be smaller than what I had up there. TY for bringing it to my attention. Also, can you remove the filter or at least edit it?? It´s blocking out the first four letters of my handle. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot;

I live in Jacksonville, FL. I was checking the Bestbuy´s and Compusa´s here and they listed the availability date of 06-Mar-03. EB (Electronic´s Boutique) lists it today. However, the EB here usually gets their new releases the following day, tommorow. You should check Bestbuy´s website for info though. &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot; <img src=´http://www.crystalinks.com/quetzal.gif ´>

From what I´ve read you can add new space stations to the Liberty system. Probably take a lot of time depending on your modding experience, but it could probably be done. &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot; <img src=´http://www.crystalinks.com/quetzal.gif ´>

If you´re close to the US border, just head down there. As for the EB´s getting in today, wish I knew what citie´s they´re. The EB´s here in NE Florida usually get´s the titles the following day. &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot; <img src=´http://www.crystalinks.com/quetzal.gif ´>

I´m awaiting a b-day check to come in and then I´m going to snag my copy. Hopefully it´ll be in very soon so I can join you guys on-line. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot; <img src=´http://www.crystalinks.com/quetzal.gif ´>

I´m usually traveling at the &quot;cruise speed&quot; through the fields, but I have shot the drums before. As for the debris fields in other systems, I would imagine they´ll exist. Be cool if there´s a ´roid field to play around in. &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot; <img src=´ http://www.crystalinks.com/***opellibkwh.jpg ´>

Had the scripts wrong. For some reason, it´s putting the &quot;***&quot; in the URL of the picture I´m trying to use. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_angry.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot; <img src=´http://www.crystalinks.com/***opellibkwh.jpg ´> Edited by - ***opelli on 04-03-2003 18:44:12 Edited by - ***opelli on 04-03-2003 18:45:10

That would explain a lot. Tiger - it´s 1630 EST because that´s when I get my &quot;parole&quot; from work. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot; [imghttp://www.crystalinks.com/***opellibkwh.jpg[/img

I can see your point about the &quot;open ended&quot; aspect of the game. I wouldn´t say that it won´t happen. I´m sure after the release, that some clever chap will find a way that allows cap ships to be piloted. Still seems to powerful though. Perhaps if you were to balance it out, maybe with a Flashpack like device or a weapon that can kill a player controlled cap ship in 4-5 hits. &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot;

While it would be fun to take out a base, it would get old real fast if people just sit back destroying the bases. Disabling them is a good idea. If they´re to be destroyed, then have them respawn after a bit. You could also make them super powerful and very difficult to take out. Say if attacked, nice little armada of cruisers show up to defend the base. &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot;

Hehe I´d like to plug a flash pack up one of the cap ship´s arses. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_evil.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot;

I think the biggest cargo ship was the <i>Orion </i> class or something of that sort. Cockpits would be awesome. But getting rid of the 3rd person view to have a virtual cockpit would suffice. &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot;

IMHO, it wouldn´t be as fun having the ability to fly a cap ship unless you could destroy a planet. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_evil.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Plus, you´d have the individuals using them in multi-play racking up the kills and stats by sitting there. Granted, the idea of a marauding about the galaxy wrecking as much havoc as humanely possible does give me an evil grin. However it would be a bit of an overkill, save to take out that gd´d Fort Bush or any other space station that´s in the way for the sake of taking it out. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_evil.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot;

Gonna get a small parrot to keep in my ship and say &quot;Arg matey&quot; a lot. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> Will probably do trading and mostly bounty hunting. Leave the piracy for really bad days at work. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_evil.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot;

A new poison that will lead to my divorce. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> I think it could be considered a space combat game. I´m waiting to see what the MPlay´s going to be like. <img src=smilies/icon_smile.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot;

Privateer was one of my favorite space combat games. I had to have two separate games though. Those merchant vessals were just too tempting sitting there all &quot;plump for the picking.&quot; Only recent game that´s &quot;open ended&quot; was Derek Smart´s <i>Battlecruiser Millenium </i>. While the game had promise, it was way too buggy and tried to do too much IMHO. &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot;

They did pick some hotties for the WC series. I chose Flint for WC, as I´m partial to brunnettes. I wish I could´ve chosed Panther from WC4, as she had a body. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_big.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> As for Prophecy, Stilleto was pretty hot too. Although I couldn´t understand why casey would want to date some one the age of his mother. &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot;

This topic has been debated before in other forums regarding the legality of mods based on other games, movies, and even mods in general. You´ll have to understand, I´m not an attorney. I was foolish enough to fall for the IT industry. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_angry.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> I don´t play Quake, so I wouldn´t know about the incident with the DBZ mod. I do remember a modder for Swat3 was threatened by Fox for a &quot;Die Hard&quot; mod that was made. However, that´s been about the only two incidents to my knowledge that´s occured. I was simply posting as a suggestion. Unfortunately, I don´t have the time required to put out decent mods. <img src=smilies/icon_smile_sad.gif width=15 height=15 border=0 align=middle> &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot;

For being illegal, I´ve seen plenty of Wing Commander mods for other games not to mention mods based on other titles/movies. Battlefield 1942 for example, has a &quot;Black Hawk Down&quot; mod in the works. I have also seen mods for RPGs, (Morrowind) based on the Ultima Series and more recently J.R. Tolkien´s <i>Lord of The Rings. </i> Now, Chris Roberts can´t do that, as WC was property of Origin, which I believe was bought by Electronic Arts. &quot;The price of freedom is eternal vigilance...&quot;
