What is Standoff?
Standoff is a project that aims to bring new content to Origin's Wing Commander Secret Ops, a space combat game which was distributed freely over the internet a few years ago. In other words, Standoff is a Secret Ops mod. It will need the original SO files to run, but will not replace them, so you can easily switch between using the original SO game content and the Standoff game content. This mod will, obviously, be a free download to which everyone's entitled. However, each user will install this mod at his/her own risk, since as much as we will work hard to make everything work flawlessly, we CANNOT guarantee that it will. The content which Standoff will add to Secret Ops is detailed below:

Features:
- 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 and fiction to develop the story between missions;
- Twenty-seven new classes of Confed, Civilian, or Landreich fighters, transports, and capital ships;
- Sixteen new classes of Kilrathi fighters and capital ships;
- New 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!
