Verman has been experimenting with some technology to bring some of Feng Zhu's unused Privateer Online concept ships to life! They write:

It's been a long time since I contributed anything to the news, I still visit the site often and have quite a few projects for Wing Commander going on at the moment (along with a million other projects too). Well I decided to do some tinkering with 2D image to 3D Modelling AI, using a site called Meshy. I always loved one of the ship concepts for Wing Commander Online so I thought I would test out how good the AI was just using that concept art to produce a 3D model and also the textures from the artwork. I attached some screenshots.

I also made it freely available on Sketchfab so people can download it and make it better or use it in any projects or just study it...

I have also done a couple of the other models but I haven't had time to get them uploaded to

Ulimann644 is back with maybe the most recognizable Wing Commander ship of all time: the original Dralthi medium fighter! You may recall that they've previously rendered excellent Fralthi and Hornet models… and the fleet keeps expanding!

WING COMMANDER - DRALTHI-CLASS (DeviantArt)

This is my third WING COMMANDER mesh. The DRALTHI-CLASS Medium-Fighter of the Kilrathi in WING COMMANDER 1.

Hope you like it.

AD made a pretty neat discovery the other day: a Spanish language radio program called "Space Wars" aired an hour-long look at the music of Wing Commander on September 3 on radio station Querétaro 100.3 FM. The broadcast include samples of lots of music and even one of Jazz's piano pieces played on a real piano! AD recorded a copy which you can listen to below.

We continue with our special Space Wars programs, where we take a brief look at the music of some Space Simulation video games. This time, we're focusing on a classic, Wing Commander, a video game developed by Chris Roberts that was a turning point in this video game genre in many ways, but primarily in its music. Listen to the adaptations of this video game's soundtrack to various formats that we've made, and hear the musical evolution that, as always, goes from the BIT to the Orchestra!

We would also like to thank uu from Discord for

Brewer Corporation has issued an urgent call for mined and manufactured materials to support the rapid construction of multiple new starports.
Reports have started to circulate among the pilot community of receiving internal communications from their Power contacts specifically calling for their support in relation to securing interests around HIP 87621.
While the corporation confirmed that the priority was immediate, it declined to identify their clients or intended deployment locations.
The megacorp's CEO, Madelyn Teague, explained:
"Brewer Corporation adheres to the strictest standards of client confidentiality and therefore cannot reveal the origin of this order. What I can assure shareholders is that the sheer scale and limited timeframe of the order is considerable. While this has stressed our reserves of certain stocks, we are taking steps to ensure the order is fulfilled with the level

You've probably heard talk of some excitement going on in Portland, Oregon and it's all true: Wing Commander I and II composer George "The Fatman" Sanger will be appearing at next weekend's Portland Retro Gaming Expo! The convention runs October 17 to 19 at the Oregon Convention Center.

We were also honored to loan a Wing Commander Prophecy flight suit for display at their FMV Zone museum exhibit. So if you're in Portland next weekend, you can really have some Wing Commander fun!

Earlier in the year, we held a pair of Saturday morning marathons that celebrated Wing Commander-connected media that didn't quite fit with the Friday movie club. And now we're bringing them back! This Saturday, October 18, we'll be bringing you another themed morning of '90s media and great Wing Commander conversation. This time, we're taking a look at a series that was pretty influential during the making of Wing Commander III: Mystery Science Theater 3000. We'll be watching two episodes that are referenced in WC3 and talking all about what life was like on the internet way back in 1994!

"Manos": The Hands of Fate (1993, s4e24): MST3k brought Manos to the world, introducing future generations to what may be the single worst movie ever made. But it made for a pretty funny episode! And one that was clearly appreciated by Wing Commander III's development team, which named the crucial Torgo system after
