Dardael

has made a fun new Wing Commander overview video. For starters, it's all in Italian, and we love to see fans spread the word in different languages to reach as many people as possible. On top of that, he's gone through and added extensive subtitles so English speakers won't be left out. He's also upped the production values a notch here by dressing up as a WC1 pilot and inserting himself into various scenes via green screen! That's dedication! Let him know what you think at the

CIC Forums

.

Hi there! I just made a retrospective video about the first Wing Commander. Is in Italian, but I added English subtitles. I would appreciate your help about this, since my English is veeeery rusty :p

Enjoy!

Aegis has stationed a security force in the Meene system to protect the engineer Ram Tah.

An announcement was made by Professor Alba Tesreau:

"Ram Tah's research has been enormously beneficial to our understanding of the Thargoids, and resulted in developments that aid us in the conflict. We therefore have a vested interest in protecting his work."

"We have deployed a security force that will provide continual support while allowing Ram Tah's operation to remain completely independent. Hopefully this will prevent any further disruption."

There has been no response from the Sirius Corporation, which recently arrested a cabal of junior officers from its private fleet for launching an incursion into Meene. Li Yong-Rui, the CEO of Sirius Corp, has allegedly withdrawn his offer to work with Ram Tah on Guardian-human technology.

has finished his Exeter, and it's another beauty! The main gun and ball turrets are eye-catching, but there are lots of great details. 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

with a bay positioned like that though.

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.

Q&A: Anvil Arrow

Following the launch of the Arrow from Anvil, we took your community-voted questions to our designers to give you more information on the recently unveiled light fighter.

Special thanks to John Crewe and Stephen Hosmer for answering our questions.

What gives it the designation “Stealth” on the ship page?

This is an error on the webstore due to a mix up on the internal design page and it should say Light Fighter and has been corrected. However the Stealth part is still valid, in reference to the class of components with which the Arrow can be fitted. Utilizing stealth components could allow the Arrow to be used as a patrol craft without being seen, or in an ambush to surprise one’s enemies.

The commercial states that this ship is one of the fastest and most agile in its class. However, once you try it in game, it handles like a turtle. Is this a bug?

Lost Fleet is going to continue the Crossfire bonus missions and will open a new world for the players to explore. Main focus will be the Sol sector and its past secrets. With this new update we will introduce new systems (additional to Epsilon Eridani and Tau Ceti), new natural solar objects, new stations, new ships, new equipment and even (a) new faction(s) aswell as new story content related to it.

Here are this week's major stories.

Exothelogian Dr Alfred Ulyanov has commented on the abandoned Far God outposts recently discovered in the Etain system. In a statement, Dr Ulyanov said that information recovered from the sites would be invaluable to the book he is writing with Gethin Okonkwo about the Far God religion.

Aegis has announced a breakthrough that has effectively neutralised the disruptive effects of Thargoid Sensors on starports. New procedures in the application of meta-alloys mean that extremely small quantities are now sufficient to shield systems from disruption, resulting in a cure for what was once called 'the technological plague'.

Meanwhile, several Imperial senators have spoken in support of isolationist group Nova Imperium. Senator Pal Vespasian said that Imperator Mordanticus would be invited to address the Senate and detail his policies, and gave his backing to Nova

Several Imperial senators have spoken in support of isolationist group Nova Imperium.

Senator Pal Vespasian made the following statement:

"Many of us see Nova Imperium not as extremists, but as realists. The citizenry is afraid of both Thargoid invasion and of being weakened by collaboration with foreign systems. They look to the Emperor for salvation…and she offers them none."

"We intend to invite Imperator Mordanticus to address the Senate and detail his policies. This is a historic opportunity to restore the Empire's honour and integrity."

"Furthermore, Nova Imperium's proposal to install a new Emperor has my full backing."

Here's a real cool find from LOAF's recent treasure hunting. This disc contains several Origin demos in one collection courtesy of EA in Australia. The star here is the

WC4 demo

. It's quite a prize for WC collectors who are into finding all the demo discs that come with magazines and the like!

Saturday morning treasure: a demo CD from Electronic Arts Australia! EA did several of these ‘CD Shortplay’ discs for different studios. Wing Commander IV and other great games! And also Cybermage.

IHOP is running a

Christmas special

where they now offer a stack of Grinch-green pancakes. Although this is kind of weird, Wing Commander fans are

acutely aware

that sometimes you just gotta

turn things green

. To help kick off the holiday season,

Music_Guru

has recolored the famous flying pancake to be green to match. I kind of like it!

So... we have a green Salthi in the SNES version of wing commander... now we need a green Dralthi to match the pancakes! 8P

Lord help me but I love green palette swaps.

From December 4th to January 3rd, we are running a promotion that will provide an additional bonus when opening a Research and Development Pack. When you purchase a Research and Development Pack from the C-Store and open it, you will receive either 10 Lobi Crystals or a Special Requisition Choice Pack - Tier 6 Promotional Ship Choice Pack in addition to the Research and Development Pack. We are excited to announce a new addition to this Promotional Ship Pack: The Vaadwaur Miracle Worker Juggernaut [T6]! While smaller Vaadwaur ships were easy to operate and acquire, the Juggernaut has been more difficult in both areas. They were salvaged at a much lower frequency than other Vaadwaur ships, and their power usage led to frequent complaints from engineers - some systems simply consumed more power to run once than any reasonable ship would generate in a year. However, continuous work on reverse

Adm_Maverick

is back with a big update on his papercraft Wing Commander fighters. He

recently shared

some of his templates and techniques on how to make these awesome little fighters with a home printer and scrap cardboard. Now the ships have been put to good use as part of a new tabletop game that Maverick is putting together. He's spent quite a bit of time playtesting with a friend, and the shots below show off some of their space combat in action. Looks like fun! You can find an elaborate breakdown of the rules and help discuss future refinements at the CIC Forums

here

.

So been a little while since I posted on this project, but wow what an update I have for it.

First off, a friend and I got in basically a whole day of playtesting using some of the rules. And pretty much decided the rules needed to change.I'm just using little cardboard models I've assembled for game tokens at this point. Nothing

Hello everyone,

Last week, the 2948 Anniversary special featured our most epic Free Fly event to date with all flyable ships and vehicles available to try. We saw players reenacting Top Gun, staging a Vanduul Attack and creating stunning Arrow formations. We’re still catching up with all the fantastic videos, screenshots, and stories and hope that you had a blast exploring the ‘verse, whether you’re a veteran pilot or a rookie behind the stick. The Intergalactic Aerospace Expo with its Hurston-based satellite branch has now closed its doors, but who knows – it might make a return to the game some day. Let us know in the comments if you enjoyed the Expo.

If you haven’t yet, check out the Q&A’s on both new ships revealed during the Anniversary – Anvils “light fighter of the future,” the Arrow, and the next evolution of Xi’an tech and design innovation, the Aopoa San’tok.yāi. Also: fledgling
