The retro game site

Commodore4ever

has found another iteration of the Wing Commander 1 sell sheet advertisement. This one features a black banner with the words, "The award winning Space Combat Simulation. Available soon for the Amiga!" This poster-style image is a famous advert that actually predates WC - the earliest versions promote the game as

Wingleader

with the famous words, "What you SEE is what you PLAY!" Other iterations exist, including variants in different languages. Although this minor wording tweak may not seem super exciting, from a collector's point of view, it's fascinating to see just how many versions exist!

Here's a magazine ad for the version of QEMM that came bundled with Privateer and Shadowcaster... and look, there was an Ultima Underworld version, too! Neat.

Here's a couple of striking Wing Commander Movie concept images from around LOAF's previous Cloud Imperium office. They feature the Broadsword and one of its primary foes, the Fralthi. Look closely and there's some interesting notes about how the reinforced bow could be used for ramming. We don't often see this tactic employed by Wing Commander capships - short of a rare last ditch self destructing maneuver - but it would be an interesting dynamic to add in to capship battles. Star Trek Discovery had a pretty impressive

combat ram

last year, and it'd be neat to see more of that.

Good old Broadswords; not fast, but they got you home safe.

The operation to recover survivors and salvage from a convoy that was attacked in the core systems has been brought to a halt. Search-and-rescue teams from United Carnoeck for Equality were assisted by scores of independent pilots.

Security Chief Tal Woźniak thanked those who participated:

"Many of the convoy's crew members owe their lives to the Commanders who brought them to safety. We have also recovered data from the attack, which will help us track down and wipe out the pirate group responsible, hopefully before they massacre more innocents."

Pilots who contributed to the operation can now collect their rewards from Bacon City in the Carnoeck system.

The culture of the generation ship Golconda has been examined by Professor Elizabeth Perez, head of anthropology at Orion Independent University.
"Little is known about the Golconda's origins. There are no intact records of its launch, and the lack of archived blueprints suggests a privately funded colonisation attempt. But there's no doubt this microcosm of 22nd Century society will have diverged over the past thousand years."
"The inhabitants' language is entirely comprehensible, however, and their social structure is recognisable. Rigid security measures are in evidence, as one would expect from an isolationist culture."
"We also know there is a custodian tasked with ensuring the community's wellbeing, and a chaplain who provides spiritual guidance. All signs point to contentment with – maybe even an addiction to – their spacefaring existence."
While audio messages recorded by the Golconda

Quote from Star Citizen News-Bot

Humanity’s first maps were of the stars. Created millennia ago, they were dots charting the night sky painted upon cavern walls on Earth. One wonders if those original mapmakers ever imagined that one day their descendants would get to visit those stars?

Though the methods have drastically changed, the Imperial Cartography Center (ICC) carries on that proud tradition of charting celestial objects. This UEE government agency is best known for their Deep Space Scanning & AstroGraphical Stations that search for jump points and for the elite Stellar Surveyors unit that assesses newly discovered systems. Yet, the responsibilities and reach of the ICC extend far beyond those two departments. From working with the Ark to keeping the Starmap current, to tracking the Baer comet as it crosses the Stanton System, the Imperial Cartography Center is essential to modern space travel.

Monthly Studio Report: April 2018

Welcome to Cloud Imperium Games’ Monthly Studio Report for April, bringing you insight into what all of our studios have been working on. This month, the team delivered multiple updates to Alpha 3.1, made advancements on a variety of new systems and features, like scanning and mining, and continued development on Squadron 42. With that said, let’s get to it.

The team focused on two major priorities in April: one was the scanning feature, which is making good progress. The focus has been on the code-side that will be used throughout Star Citizen, including for Mining and in Squadron 42. The other priority was Object Container Streaming development, as it relates to making vehicles thread safe. This is one step toward a larger goal being worked on across the company — to provide a significant performance increase in

Mac has posted a couple of teasers for his next Wing Commander lore video. This one is shaping up to be bigger and more elaborate than his usual episodes, so he's posted these snippets to tide fans over while work continues. The first image sets up the ground attack on Vukar Tag with a couple of Rapiers. There's also a Ferret furiously dodging laser bolts from an entire wing of Kilrathi. Although I'm already quite familiar with what happens in End Run, I can't wait to see the video come together!

This End Run video is going to be what I have now termed "The Long-Ass Format", going by how the script is wrapping up.

I may have to split it, worst case scenario I might need to put out another, smaller video for the month. But here's a thing Im doing for it:#wingcommander pic.twitter.com/EA6kzwlf86

Quote from Mass Effect News-Bot

Henry Cavill and Mass Effect don’t typically land in the same sentence together, though that may be about to change thanks to one of The Witcher star’s recent social media posts. Cavill appears to be teasing his involvement in an as-yet unannounced Mass Effect project, though this tease amounts to a “handful of paper with random words on it.”

Henry Cavill recently took to his popular Instagram account to reveal a new photo of him prepping for a full day of filming for season 2 of Netflix’s The Witcher series. “Secret project? Or just a handful of paper with random words on it,” the image caption reads. “Guess you’ll have to wait and see. Happy hump day all. #HumpDay #Secrets”.

Here's an oddity from the August 1994 issue of Gamesworld magazine. Wing Commander Armada is previewed alongside System Shock, and while the text has little new info, that logo sure is unusual! It's certainly a very similar typeface to the real Armada logo, but has a 3D quality we don't normally see, and we've seen a lot of Armada logos. Either they got this cool design from a press distribution or had a very keen eye for making up their own. As for the prediction that "Wing Commander Armada is bigger and badder than it's (sic) predecessor and jam-packed with improvements and enhancements," sure.

Quote from Mass Effect News-Bot

One of the biggest rumors that has been swirling around the Internet over recent years is none other than the remastered Mass Effect trilogy. Fans have been itching for an upgraded version of the beloved series, and if recent rumors are to be believed, we might not have to wait too much longer.

During a recent podcast (via VGC), GamesBeat’s Jeff Grubb claimed that an announcement for the Mass Effect trilogy remaster was “for sure” planned for the beginning of October, with a launch coming later in the month. However, they go on to note that this might no longer be the case. “Maybe bad news – it’s 2020 – maybe that could start to slip, it sounds like maybe that’s a possibility, nothing for sure yet,” Grubb said.

Grubb then goes on to say that they’ve seen “more than enough evidence” to know that the Mass Effect trilogy remaster is real, “but it’s still 2020 and they haven’t announced it yet.”

The Empire has entered a state of conflict with the isolationist group Nova Imperium in the Paresa system.

Senator Denton Patreus announced:

"The loyal Imperials of Yupini Limited have engaged the isolationists' illegal armada. We call upon Imperial auxiliaries to support our allies and destroy the Nova Imperium fleet."

Imperator Mordanticus, leader of Nova Imperium, has requested the support of the galactic community:

"Nova Imperium's survival depends upon winning this battle. I urge all those who believe that Hadrian Duval should be the Emperor to support us."

The two factions have set out week-long campaigns to overcome their foes, which will begin on the 10th of January 3305.
