I especially like the frontal nose shot, which really shows the weaponry off well. The aft hangar bay is also a nice touch, although it could be a bit dicey coming in for a landing while the ship is at full speed! It's

Ah, the Exeter, my favorite destroyer in all of Wing Commander, really in all of Sci-fi destroyers. I probably spent way too long on the hull panels, but I do like how it turned out.

*Pilots Federation ALERT*
Safeguard Interstellar requires deliveries of medicines to treat casualties from the NMLA's recent terrorist attack.
The humanitarian aid organisation is helping to coordinate relief efforts for the starports in the Alliance, Empire and Federation that were bombed last week. CEO Noel Beaumont announced:
"Hundreds of thousands of civilians still require urgent medical attention after being evacuated from the damaged stations. Many have severe caustic burns inflicted by the corrosive enzyme payload of the explosives. We have already exhausted the majority of supplies in nearby systems."
"To reinforce overstretched health services, we request shipments of basic medicines and advanced medicines. These can be delivered to three starports being used as staging areas: Krylov Ring in the He Bo system, Mackenzie Relay in the Cemiess system, and Davis Terminal in the Duamta

Since the ambition behind Blackstar Fleet got significantly bigger, more time is needed to get all the work done. We currently make good progress, adding our newly created assets into the game, doing lots of fine tuning etc. but still can not tell exactly when the new Crossfire version will be ready.Instead of letting you wait without anything new (besides the two already released updates this year) we have the intention to release some of the already done new content early.

StarCraft has always been a series of deep lore in a vast universe. Fans looking to delve deeper into the stories will get the opportunity with a new comic Mini-Series arriving this summer. Dark Horse Comics, in collaboration with Blizzard, has developed a StarCraft comic as a four-part series that will be taking the Summer by storm.

StarCraft Scavengers being written by Jody Houser of DC Comics and Valiant Entertainment. Gabriel Guzman is drawing the series and was previously the artist for the Dark Horse graphic novel Mass Effect Discovery. The first issue is expected in July.

The storyline of the StarCraft comic mini-series follows a team of Terrans tasked with finding a Protoss ship abandoned in the outer reach. On a never before explored planet, the team must salvage whatever they can before their mission is compromised by unknown forces. The comics follow a young and relatively inexperienced engineer that

This is the last in a series of interesting video features published in the mid '90s by the CD-ROM "magazine" Interactive Entertainment. Their Wing Commander 4 review appeared in issue 23. The CD-ROM interface displayed screenshots from the game and overlaid them with low resolution videos. That experience has been recreated here rather than displaying the videos full screen. Again, while it looks pretty dated today, the setup was really cool for the time. The vast majority of internet access out there was still dialup, so this was the only practical way to experience something like this!

Former Core Dynamics CEO Jupiter Rochester has received a summary judgement for multiple crimes against the Federation.
The Federal Justice Department gave this statement:
"The facts in the case of Jupiter Rochester are self-evident. His principal role regarding Starship One and Jupiter Division make him guilty of treason, mass murder and many other crimes. He will serve a solitary life sentence in a maximum security prison."
Milandu Okoro of the Federal Attorney's Office expressed surprise:
"It is highly unusual for the FJD not to litigate such a major case, considering we don't know the full extent of Rochester and Fleet Admiral Vincent's conspiracies. Unfortunately, our request to open a full investigation has been denied."
Shadow Vice President Isolde Rochester has reiterated that her family were not involved with her eldest son's clandestine activities.

Foxhound noticed a neat Wing Commander nod in a recent PC Gamer preview of an upcoming game called MENACE. The game is a turn based strategy from Overhype Studio in the vein of Jagged Alliance. But as this screenshot shows, its briefing room has a familiar inspiration!

Quote from Mass Effect News-Bot

There’s not a single doubt that a substantial amount of pressure weight heavily on both BioWare and Electronic Arts to do well with the upcoming science fiction video game title, Anthem. After the mixed reception of Mass Effect: Andromeda, both companies have decided focused all their efforts to make Anthem the best “unlike anything you’ve played“. Boasting live features with a focus on story- and character-centric gameplay. Despite the anticipation for their latest project, EA’s chief financial officer Blake Jorgensen revealed their “conservative” approach.

Revealing a release month for Anthem in March 2019, Jorgensen stated that the “game will be shipped in the last quarter of the year, and in the last month of that quarter”. That implies several different ideas about EA’s approach, but EA doesn’t offer any official details beyond that. Perhaps they’re intent on pushing the release as far as

Quote from Wing Commander News-Bot

In honor of the United States of America's very important midterm elections, we've attempted to create a document that can serve as a guide to future Wing Commander storytellers, one that tells us just about everything we can possibly know about the politics of the Terran Confederation. Note that this is a first draft which will be expanded as more references are discovered! Find one we missed? Add it in the comments for the next revision! A cited version of the document is available here. Want even more Confederation government lore? Tune in to an informal livestream tonight at around 7 PM Eastern to see LOAF and Dundradal talk through this document and the historical parallels involved in the Confederation's backstory!

Quote from Star Trek Online News-Bot

Second Officer’s Log, Supplemental My third night shift with the conn has been rather sedate thus far. Several members of the command staff are enjoying some off-duty entertainment in Holodeck Two; I believe it has something to do with a peculiar form of Terran mythology from the 20th century known as “super heroics.” The captain seemed amused by my tactical suggestions for the event, particularly regarding the inefficiency of capes in close combat situations. “All decks have reported in,” Ensign Chen said from the Operations station. “We’re ready to begin the system maintenance sweep at your command.” Second Officer Stoln nodded from the center chair while calling up a display to monitor the procedure. “Very well, Ensign. Begin the procedure, starting with deck 30.” The young Vulcan officer studied the holographic readout emitted from the command chair’s armrest and
