FAQ

What is Ranger's Glory?
It is a mod using the Flight Commander engine created by Ed Benowitz, which was built so other WC mods would have an easily moddable engine. Ranger's Glory is a Wing Commander mod based partly on another mod called WC:Unknown Enemy which used the Vision Engine--not a very easy task in itself. WC:RG takes place right before the events of UE and continues through that mod in timeline.

Who is the main Character?
The wing commander of the BWS Relentless, a Border Worlder named Alexander Hein. He is a Colonel with a shaded past and assorted vices, to boot, which should provide the player with an intriguing storyline. Check his bio in the characters section.

What kind of craft can we expect?
A fair number, most notable the Rapier 2, Avenger, Razor, and several Kilrathi ships never before seen in the WCP/SO timeline.

Does this mean that we get to fight the Kilrathi?
Yes, if you choose to.

Is Confed involved?
Only in fiction.

When is it going to be completed?
Just like with WC:Standoff, it will be done when it is done.

How long will it be?
Nothing is final, but four episodes are currently planned: one prologue and 3 for the main campiagn.

What is going on in the Prologue?
You join the Dauntless in "Operation: Clean Sweep" scouring the asteroids of the Tartarus system for the Tartarus pirate gang.

What is the main campiagn about?
With the Nephilim threat, the BWS Relentless is transferred to Downing Quandrant in Vega Sector to assist other Ranger-class carriers in defense.

Do we need to download Flight Commander to play Ranger's Glory?
No, not for the full release of the Prologue and Campaign episodes. The reason why is that many of the ships, comms, videos, and other files will be replaced or not used in Ranger's Glory, which means that many would end up having to download two large zip files to play. Having Ranger's Glory in one complete package will overall appeal to the larger community. Now for all of the releases before the Prologue--primarily the Christmas releases--you will need to download the latest Flight Commander and patch it to the latest version.

What can I do to help out?
Currently, we are in need of 3d animators; another 3d modeler; voiceover artists; and another programmer (C++). So if you are interested make a thread at the "Need a Job?" forum unless you want to do voiceovers, then just post a reply to the voiceover thread.
