Shaping the future of the fleet.

Wing Commander: Academy, a classic space combat sim that puts you through rigorous training of a Confederation fleet pilot, is available on GOG.com for only $5.99.

Do you have what it takes to be space pilot? Do you think you can handle the Kilrathi, a fierce race of feline space warriors, hell-bent on destroying humankind? If you think you can handle the challenge, there's a chance that you might be what the fleet is looking for. Enlist now, and you'll be promptly transferred to our nearest training facility. You think flying a simulator is beneath you? Well think again! This is no ordinary training. We made damn sure you'll fail, and fail again until you learn from your mistakes. Hell, after we're done with you, you'll welcome fighting the actual Kilrathi as a nice change of pace.

Wing Commander: Academy delivers the excitement and challenge of space combat that has always been the trademark of the Wing Commander series, but this time you will be presented with missions you would never thought possible. You will participate in training simulations that mix and match conditions to prepare future Confederation pilots for just about anything. In the insane Gauntlet mode your task will be to withstand 15 waves of enemies, each more difficult than the last one. There's also a diverse mission creator at your disposal, presenting you with unlimited scenarios that will test your skill. Oh, and yes--this is the 600th game in GOG.com catalog, and yes--you can take it as a confirmation of even more Wing Commander titles coming our way in the future.

The Kilrathi menace won't just go away. Answer your destiny's call and take your part in securing the future of mankind in Wing Commander: Academy, for only $5.99 on GOG.com!

tburger: I would buy it gog, you know?
I have cash.
I have plenty of room on my shelf.
I have 2 cards issued by 2 major card companies that worked here flawlessly just weeks ago.
But you just don't want my money any more - so sorry - no deal.
Best to write to us about those cards and we can where the problem lies :)

keeveek: What?
We're experiencing problems with accepting payments via some of the card providers. We're working on fixing that. Tburger is, sadly, one of the people affected :-(

tburger: But I did. Over 2 weeks ago. I got a reply similar to G-Doc's but I still cannot buy games from gog.com :-(

Sorry, tburger, we have been experiencing this issue for a few weeks now but we should have a fix arriving very shortly. We're really sorry about this! Obviously we want you to be able to buy games!

Foxhack: Credit card + PayPal = happy tburger

tburger: Well I'm rather reluctant to set up yet another account - especially under this, say, abnormal circumstances. But if this will be persistent - well I'll probably go for this option.

Incidentally few questions about PP: in PP do I link my card to account and money is drawn directly from card or I have to transfer money to PP account? How does PP looks in terms of conversion rates, fees etc? Does PP accept debit cards also or only CC?
I use Papypal's instant money transfer for the PL version of PayPal. Works great and they are good about refunding your money in case you forget to fill in the "Tytuł" section.

Just be careful when surfing behind a VPN because I once tried to buy Beyond Divinity here before I was a staff member and PayPal blocked that lightning quick :D

tburger: Ok, my Mastercard seems working again (just bought Wing Commander: Academy) so likely it was random issue and coinciding with Visa Electron issues. Me happy again! :-D.
Good to hear that!
(Of course this doesn't mean we'll stop working on a fix for the Visa Electron issue.)
