…Aegis Research has issued a statement amid growing concerns that meta-alloy harvests in the Pleiades Nebula have slowed dramatically. A number of sources claim that Thargoid barnacle sites have recently ceased producing materials.
The situation was addressed by Professor Alba Tesreau of Aegis Research:
"Thargoid structures remain poorly understood, so we can only theorise why the barnacles in most Pleiades systems have grown barren. Our leading hypothesis is that these sites have been over-exploited in recent years, and humanity has simply exhausted this resource."
"What is certain is that meta-alloys are both a valuable commodity and a vital component of anti-xeno technology. It is of paramount importance that we maintain the supply of this material."
"Therefore, Aegis Research is spearheading an initiative to identify an alternative source. We ask the galactic community to support us by

Hello space pilots! We've released a quick hotfix patch for PS4 that adds the Traditional and Simplified Chinese localization back again, which accidentally got lost in one of our earlier patches. We apologize for the inconvenience that this caused! The patch also contains a small fix in the projectile system.
- Fixed that the Traditional and Simplified Chinese localizations were falling back to English
- Fixed that splitter glyph additional projectiles were having incorrect range/lifetime

…To tie into yesterday's WC4 Remake news,
DefianceIndustriescontinues to pump out some very impressive post-war ship designs. He's got two new flavors of the Arrow up today, including the rich Confed green and red/blue Pirate variant. They'll fit nicely with his
Black Hellcat,
Southampton destroyerand
Caernaven frigate. Be sure to zoom in on these to see all the great detail. They might look like typical Arrows in the thumbnails, but they're pretty slick up close!
It's a quiver full of arrows! Well ok maybe 2 isn't really that many. We have two flavors of F-27 on the menu today, the WC4 Confed green version (now with extra arugula) and the under gunned but over-painted Piratical version: which really doesn't get nearly enough love in my opinion, either WC4 where I think it only cameos in a single mission; or in fan productions in favor of more distinct ships like the Razor or Demon.

…We've seen some tantalizing teaser images over the past six months, but
Pedrohas just dropped the first test videos for his
WC4 Remakefan project. Of particular note is the authentic Hellcat cockpit taken from the original game's FMV sequences. Pedro's paired that with the familiar green HUD to add back in realistic cockpits. On the outside, the chase cam point of view also shows off some very high quality models. There are lots of technical accomplishments that can be hard to see on one quick watch, so check out Pedro's more technical description of the progress made below!
Inspired by Howie Days amazing WC1 project Defiance Industries has helped me put together the first bit of a gameplay test of the WCIV remake.
It's super early days; to be honest I hadn't done any gameplay work at all until now, but I was rather envious of having something playable to develop in, and whilst I've not put much

…A new research megaship and relay station constructed by the Distant Worlds II exploratory fleet have become operational.
Project leader Erimus Kamzel made a statement on behalf of those involved in the expedition:
"We are very proud to announce the launch of the DSSV Distant Worlds megaship, dedicated to the DW II fleet who built it. We look forward to its maiden voyage as it embarks on a journey of scientific study around the galactic core."
The DSSV Distant Worlds will follow a circular route between six systems in the Galactic Centre region, with scheduled hyperspace jumps every two weeks. It is currently based at Explorer's Anchorage.
The relay station, Event Horizon, has also become operational in the Stuemeae FG-Y d7561 system. This installation will gather scientific data on the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*, and provide research facilities and residence for scientists at the

…Howard Dayhas several exciting new updates to his fancy
WC1-inspired engine. The most obvious addition is a cool new Firekkan fighter. Howard's also added the neutron gun, made the radar functional and added other UI improvements. Last, but definitely not least, is the chase camera. It makes for a pretty exciting perspective on the action! You can check out the latest effects live in a browser window
here.
Update! Radars working, along with damage flashing on the radar display. Made myself a Firekkan Valtar Fighter - Featuring twin Neutron cannons and the very first practical ITTS system - something which some folks at Confed Intel are *very* interested in. And some first glimpses of the chase camera and the Valtar in action! Finally got the second weapon in! It's a Neutron Cannon. I'm definitely adding the Mass Driver as well.... Thinking the Photon and Particle cannons as well.

…Ginger Lynn Allenis selling off one of her iconic Rachel Coriolis jumpsuits. It comes with matching hat and utility belt. Based on the sleeve cutoffs, it seems to be the variant worn in Wing Commander Prophecy. It's very cool to get some close up photos of this design! First bid starts at $499. There's also a $1000 Buy It Now for any Wingnuts who might want to preempt a bidding war. Ginger mentions that the suit still fits, which is more than some of us can say for outfits from 20+ years ago!
Hi, it's me Ginger Lynn,
So if you like WC III, I found this the other day. Lock and load with Rachel Coriolis! Still fits after all these years!
