I've realised it was pretty gauche to ask how much people are prepared to spend... (smacks hands for lack of social grace) I'm more interested in discussion about what you get for each package; what to people think the map will be like? (The thing I'm most excited about obviously. As a kid I...

So, who's planning to pledge what? Really, the only option for any of us is the 'Wingnut' option, huh? Seems pretty much aimed directly at this community... Spaceship-shaped USB flash drive? - Sold. Glossy Manual - Sold! Fold-out universe map?!? - SOLD!!! Plus the other swag.

Funny how this design looks a lot more 'kilrathey' than the other movie kilrathi capships. Closer to wc3 style than any other. I wonder if there were more asymmetrical and angular sketches in the design process for the other capships in the movie?

Yep. If you grab something that approximates a gun (or, if you're in America, an ACTUAL gun I suppose, heh ) and hold it at your hip and look forward, you won't see it. Floating gun was invented by Doom, which had it central to the player, not at all in any direction. The first game I ever...

Funny though, Space Combat Sims were some of the earliest 'First Person Perspective' games, weren't they? But yes, I agree, the typical 'gun sticking into the screen from the lower-right corner with some floating magic crosshairs-shooter' is getting a bit tired. Fortunately all soldiers in...

I is for ImRec, the best missile there is, no doubt J is for Jalthi, with six guns up front, watch out!

I've seen it many times, but I don't understand it. What is "Voyagers of Space - In Human Minds" ?!?!?! It makes no sense, and it's loooooooong! Obviously a lot of time spent. What does it mean? What has it got to do with Wing Commander? Why does it read like a Madlib? SOMEBODY TELL ME...

Boooooooooooo!!! I so hoped I was wrong, but it's now beyond a shadow of a doubt a completely new IP. http://robertsspaceindustries.com/time-capsule-2438/ I'm sure a news article will appear soon, huh. But just had to quickly vent:

I would be very surprised if it wasn't an MMO... imagine if all the privateer or freelancer NPC ships were flown by actual people! You would just have to cut down on the in-space chat - I don't want my cockpit with an always-open chat window full of 12 year olds insulting everyone. In my mind...

I don't imagine it will be a WC successor, given that Roberts has previously made it clear that EA still own the rights to Wing Commander. I imagine a new franchise is what we will see. I do wonder if the little starmap with the 'Croshaw' system is a reference to Zero Punctuation narrator Ben...

Yeah it's pretty sweet already, I was specifically looking for it, and once I had seen it, that's all I COULD see... I love the spacecraft designs though... Looks very post-NASA with all the exposed yellow gantry sections on the cap ships. And you can definitely see the WC influence.

Are you planning to smooth out the sprite animation any more than you have? Would be interesting to see if there are any fancy blending tricks to remove some of the 'jerkiness' inherent in sprite animations... Of course that is part of the charm I guess... Thinking along the lines of crossover...

I would love to know how well these models would perform in a game engine I.e. free space...

...complete with jaw-droppingly bad spanglish and formatting nightmares! Always cracks me up.

I will send them again tonight - having some issues on my PC at the moment...

Have you thought of trying to capture a frame from one of the in flight communiques from wc prophecy, when you fly a mission with kilrathi pilots? Or even the taunts in the simulator. Just might be a little low-res...

Oh. Right. That whole 'time' thing. Epic fail on my part right there.

Surely Darlene 'Babe' Babcock is a reference to Tara Babcock of Gaming/Modelling fame...
