We've been working on new, more comprehensive guide pages for WIng Commander Prophecy as part of the great WCPedia project. To try and better understand how missions work, I decided to try and learn more about how the game's mission data works… and once I'd done that, I made some pretty shocking discoveries: Wing Commander Prophecy is full of undocumented nav points with hidden enemy ships!

Over the next few weeks, we're going to premiere the new guide pages one series at a time alongside a news post that points out some of the interesting discoveries. This first update covers the game's first series, the H'rekkah missions. You will play only four missions in H'rekkah but there are a total of six; Wing Commander Prophecy's mission tree is actually very complex!

You can find the individual pages for the first series missions below. Each guide now contains a complete object index, links to the relevant

WingNuts, are you curious about how the other half lives? Well, for the past two years a YouTuber named Majuular has been putting together spectacularly detailed histories and playthroughs of the entire Ultima series, starting with Akalabeth and recently reaching 1993's Ultima Underworld II: Labyrinth of Worlds. These videos are well researched, well produced and thoroughly entertaining… even though each one is hours long! You can find the complete playlist here. Here are a few options that might be of special interest to Wing Commander fans... though it's really worth starting from the beginning as the story of Ultima is significantly the story of Origin Systems itself!

Ultima VII: The Black Gate includes what is probably the most famous Wing Commander crossover, a side quest which includes an appearance by Prince Thrakhath's Bloodfang starfighter trapped in a cornfield!

Class of Beverly Hills certainly was not high art but we had a great time revisiting 1990. The Beverly Hills 90210 pilot aired roughly two weeks after Wing Commander shipped and it had a massive cultural impact. Its embrace of California culture helped define America around the world to a generation of kids that wanted to be Brandon or Brenda. It was also shockingly tame compared to anything on television today; crazy to think that this was once the razor's edge of the generation gap!

The Wing Commander connection, "Brain 90210" on the Super Wing Commander trainsim board, remains elusive. But here it is compared to the series' titles!

... so let's look at the OTHER TrainSim pilot names! They change from port to port. We'll try to identify which developer each represents where known!

Wing Commander (Original)

• Dibber - Chris Roberts
• Gryphon
• Potshot
• Seggallion
• Sutek - Paul Isaacs
• Zoro - Ken Demarest III

This is a reminder that we have another fun #Wingnut movie night planned on Discord this evening! The ongoing theme will be movies that are referenced by Wing Commander in some way. Tonight's film is The Gathering (1993), the pilot film that kicked off Babylon 5, and you can find details on why we're watching it in the announcement post here. The movie will start at 7 PM PST/10 PM EST but feel free to drop by and hang any time!

Here's a pretty insignificant but also interesting little behind-the-screens detail I only just noticed: the 1993 Origin catalog lists the yet-to-be-released second Wing Commander novel as "Intruder/End Run". It looks like the Christopher Stasheff novella that kicks off the book was at one point named Intruder instead of Milk Run! The name certainly fits the story just as well. The idea behind End Run was that Stasheff's story would set up the scenario and Dr. Forstchen's novel would bring in Bear and company to explore that setup. We're betting that the title was changed late in the process to better connect the two stories which do seem to end up further apart than the original idea just on account of their very different writing styles.
