Wasn't there a mod to enhance that old game? I know X-Wing Alliance has one.
I don't remember one, but the Collector Series / X-Wing Trilogy version is kind of that; it's got X-Wing and Tie Fighter running in the X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter engine. I can't seem to find any videos of it, maybe I'll have to upload one.
they have been calling him Major?I understood it to mean that since he is no longer "in command", he's not being called "Commander". I understand their rank structure to be associated with position, not paygrade. Afterall, they're not receiving pay now anyway. Another example of ranks seeming arbitrary is when a certain pilot died from radiation and was subsequently made the CAG shortly before dying as a reminder of what it means to lead people.
