    capi3101

    is back with quite a few

    WC RPG

    status updates as well as a sketch for some new fighters. First up, he's made lots of house cleaning type updates concerning things like category listings for different chapters in his project wiki. Additional Kilrathi translations have been made, and encounter scenarios are almost finished. These sound like a lot of work! His new ships are inspired by the

    WC4 Razor

    . He's created a potential family of craft built by the same Martina Nostra manufacturer that would logically operate in the fringe areas where his RPG is set. This helps scratch his creative itch as well as provide something new and novel for his future players!

    While I'm sharing design ideas over on the New 3D thread, I figured I'd go ahead and share some preliminary sketches I've drawn up for the three new Martina Nostra craft for the Elegy campaign - the Dirk medium fighter, Falchion heavy fighter and Claymore fighter/bomber. They kinda work like the Talon in Privateer, in that they're used by both pirate and commercial interests.

    The general idea is that the three new fighters would share certain design components with the Razor, the original Martina Nostra pirate craft from WC4. Things like the upper engine cowlings, forward gun ports and fins are supposed to be the same on all of the designs (as a "cost-saving measure"), with the main differences being the general shape of the fuselage. Not wholly satisfied with the wing on the Dirk but I figured that would get worked out when the final models were built. I apologize for my hand-writing...
