I bow down speechless...

Made.

Right this minute I finished the storyline of Wing Commander Saga (on easy, as I have to admit).
And...well...I am far from speechless.
Remember "Wayne's World" and the scene with Alice Cooper?
Exactly:

"We are unworthy, we are dust..."

Thought long enough about it, but:
I would have had NO idea of how a better successor of Wing Commander Series could look like.
Most important:
The storyline - intense.

The missions - hard, but accomplishable.
The graphics - for such an old engine, marvelous.
The controls - ergonomic.
The selection of fighters - well, okay, there COULD have been more. A Centurion, maybe. Still, extremely thoughfull.
The cutscenes - not too much, not too less.

All in all, I AM speechless. In the end, two people gave us, what millions of dollars have not been able to.
THAT is what I call passion and devotion.
Thank you.

And now enough of this pathetic stuff.
Time to ... play it in Hard

Oh yeah. Edith likes to add: she totally digs "M.D." No idea, where you got this particular idea from *ahem*

There is already a gap between easy skill level and medium, so between easy and hard... It will be a challenge. Good luck and godspeed when you have to kill a wing of Pakthans - keep an eye on your damage level ! Adjust power levels, soften the first bomber with a missile and make fast and quick attack passes on afterbuner. Try glide (Alt-G) too. These hints are valuable also for Corvettes.
Anyway, remember that you could always change the skill levels between missions (not during a mission, though).

And thanks for your... thanks.

Finished the Darkest Dawn about 10 minutes ago.



Excellence. Expect a full review soon-ish.

I also have finished the missions. I had 134 kills in the last mission. It was awesome. i am going to do it again I'm Medium. This old joy stick took a beating but held up. I do have a blister on my hand. I read the credits and it looks like you have a sizable team. I again wanted to thank them for the game play. I will continue monitoring this forum for news but I have no more input that hasn't already been said. I guess you can say that this game rendered me speechless. ASF Stoney Out.

hi!!!!! Olorin yeahh.. also me thanks for ur sharing...
i can relate also mine ^_^

thanks....

My first run through Darkest Dawn was after marathoning WC1 through Prophecy, then Standoff and by comparison Saga was amazing. I just got done marathoning SCP FS1, FS2 and some of the mods, (I've been under a rock with regards to GOG.com and the fan made WC/FS games, apparently, and have turned into an off-the-wagon addict), anyway; compared to the game engine you built this game from all I can say is un-flipping-believable! Playing Saga after playing the previous WC games felt like you guys just made a great WC game, but coming back to it after playing Freespace gave me a so much more contrasting perspective of what you guys have done.
