Something I've always been meaning to try (but can't, since WC1 doesn't run well on modern computers), was to kill off all the wingmen in Wing Commander 1. Has anyone done this? What exactly happens? Does the game just clip all their scenes from the briefing, or does the game actually acknowledge that you're the only pilot left? -==Kensu==-

Each wingman cannot be killed until a particular point in the game. Until then, each ejects and is recovered. -- *** Remove the DELETE from my address to reply *** ====================================================== Kevin Scholl http://www.ksscholl.com/ kscholl@comcast.DELETE.net ------------------------------------------------------ Information Architecture, Web Design and Development ------------------------------------------------------ We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dreams... ======================================================

Actually wrong. Wingmen in the original game do die if they blow up. Basically what happens is they never show up in the bar again and obviously aren't on your wing. Robert Klemic

For some reason, had WCIII on the brain. -- *** Remove the DELETE from my address to reply *** ====================================================== Kevin Scholl http://www.ksscholl.com/ kscholl@comcast.DELETE.net ------------------------------------------------------ Information Architecture, Web Design and Development ------------------------------------------------------ We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of the dreams... ======================================================
