To all SSC Station occupants
Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.
Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

I haven't posted much on this project but I should have because it is a great one for Wing Commander Secret Ops.
Standoff has had a somewhat long development cycle (started in 2004 and will end in 2009) but it is very good quality with newly detailed ships, voice over acting and cutscenes. Already the first four episodes have been completed and they are working hard at getting the final episode out soon.
Check out there website and read the back story and download the addon: http://standoff.solsector.net/
I will add the complete download when episode V is completed.
Remeber that you can get your keycode and download for WCSO here:

Some of the features of the SO addon:
- Over thirty missions of various types in a branching campaign, plus ten simulator missions;
- All new wingmen with new in-flight comms;
- In-game cutscenes, full-motion video, and fiction to develop the story between missions;
- Thirty-one classes of Confed, Civilian, or Landreich fighters, transports, and capital ships;
- Twenty-three classes of Kilrathi fighters and capital ships;
- New fighters, transports and capital ship classes designed from descriptions in WC novels, never before seen in any WC game;
- The ability to compare your scores in the simulator to those of other players via our online Scoreboards, provided by the CIC!
Here is a few screenshots which may improve as well since they are working or some new textures for the ships 🙂
The Wing Commander Standoff team has given us a date for there final mission pack for Standoff the Wing Commander Secret Ops addon. It has been a long time coming but when it is done you will have over 30 missions total with FMV cutscenes with voice acting and a improved graphics. I know personally I have held off from playing the mod until it was completed and I will get the chance to play the completed mod on............ Aug 10, 2009.
Here is some comments from the developers webpage: http://standoff.solsector.net/
That's 14 weeks and 3 days from today - or 101 days, if you prefer. Standoff will come to an end on 2009.222 - and not a day too early :-P.
August 10th also happens to be the Wing Commander CIC's 11th birthday - so, no Standoff-related birthday gifts from us this year. Sorry ;-). No, but seriously - the CIC has been hugely supportive over the years, in more ways than I can even describe. Come to think of it, without the CIC, the various members of our team probably wouldn't have even heard of each other. All in all, it seems really appropriate that our final release will be a birthday gift for the CIC and its - our - entire community.
Meanwhile - how's about some progress? Well, Tempest reports that he's received the last voiceovers from the final remaining external actor this week. Now, apart from cleaning & filtering those, he still has one final role to record by himself - and then we're done with voiceovers.
...Or maybe not. We've spent quite a bit of time discussing what additional improvements might be made to the game during the extra time before release, and it may well be we'll record a few more voiceovers before we're done.
What about the rest of the team? I'm working away on improving the ship graphics, Pedro is working away on further graphical upgrades, Pierre is polishing up sim missions, and Quarto's... ok, Quarto really hasn't done anything since the last update. But he's still working on that final mission, supposedly ;-). Only the testers seem to be goofing around. No computer? Come on, Dundradal, when has that ever stopped anyone? 😉
Cannot wait and if you have never played Wing Commander Secret Ops you can get it here and also get your key: wing-commander-series-f43/wcso-keygen-t27.html. It is a great game and a classic and it is nice to see people working on additions to this game to keep the Wing Commander spirit alive and well. Great job!
StandOff is still on track for a August release and the dev team has been finishing up Episode 5. And also touching up the previous episodes with graphics and new voice overs. So when StandOff is released as a whole package you might want to play it through again if you already have to experience the new things added to the previously released content.
