More people should do silly little Wing Commander jokes like this one from Squishy Games. The more obscure, the better. Have a great weekend, everyone!

*Pilots' Federation Alert*
Titan Indra is under siege. This is an urgent call to all independent pilots to aid in the complete defeat of the fifth Titan.
The key modules for the assault continue to be readily available at all Rescue Megaships:
• Thargoid Pulse Neutraliser – To break through the maelstrom defence wave.
• Caustic Sink Launchers – To protect your ship from caustic effects of the maelstrom.
• Guardian Nanite Torpedo Pylon – To hamper the Titan's vents and make it vulnerable to damage.
Rewards have been requisitioned for all Commanders able to participate in ending the Titan threat.
Good luck, Commanders.

The CIC staff would like to wish everyone a safe Fourth of July and a home that's still standing in the morning. Hopefully our readers in the US enjoy the fireworks and our readers outside the US enjoy the figurative fireworks from afar.

Aegis has continued to monitor the recently shifting Thargoid behaviour and have confirmed a clear pattern.
Expansion efforts have slowed in recent weeks, with experts theorising that this change in the Thargoids was a precursor to a change in overall strategy. Aegis researchers have now gathered enough evidence to confirm a tactical shift.
The Thargoids have adopted a more defensive stance, reinforcing their current position rather than expanding outward. They are also targeting and invading populated systems exclusively, sometimes without their normal scouting operations.
Dr. Jeong-Hui Shing of the Holloway Bioscience institute offered the following view:

Evil Pixel has posted a new video to highlight the plight of Wing Commander 2 for the SNES.

Videos like this help publicize the hunt for a long lost copy, and we'll keep searching until it's found!

Wing Commander II was released in 1992, however a port of the game was briefly mentioned and shown in gaming magazines and never heard of again. It is said the game was finished and is in someones possession.

It's July, so that means this is the final month that Wing Commander Arena will be offered for sale by Microsoft!

The game has been heavily discounted to just $0.99, so there's no reason not to pick a copy up just in case! It's also a really good idea to read LOAF's excellent Arena FAQ to get all of the details straight. To go along with this countdown, here's a couple of videos that AD recently found that show Andre BigBoss hunting achievements. The first clip shows what it takes to organize 16 players for the big "TCS Tiger's Claw" unlock. I very much admire the effort and appreciate how this sort of thing is preserved for history, since modern streaming infrastructure didn't exist back in 2007. I believe the clips are
