Unless I'm missing something...Looking at the sprite pack they're using, it looks like it should definitely support asymmetry...

I was wondering the same thing. That would be very cool. And as for models...There are indeed a lot of great fan made designs that could be used...Wow...Now I'm imagining a high res sprite pack of the Tiger's Claw using Howard's Claw model...That would be sweeeeet.... :)

Wow. Very cool HCI and Howie! It integrates so well when I saw the front page images on CIC today I at first wondered what the big deal was showing screen shots from Academy...Then I noticed the ship... :cool: I'm interested to know...Is the process and file formats similar between Academy and...

Absolutely inspired re-imaginings, dczanik.. Stunning. The Ferret looks positively badass. :) The additional detail you've filled in while respecting the original designs is impressive. I'd love to see someone take on a detailed 3d model of these designs. I'm sure Chris would be proud. :)

Wow, Klavs. Love it man. One of your best. Surprising there isn't more models of the Morningstar. It's a great design. The only thing that really lets the design down right now, IMHO, is the cockpit. The transition from the canopy to the fuselage looks very low poly/detailed. It doesn't have...

Love your work. :) Klavs, that starfury looks excellent! Very impressive! Really looking forward to seeing some of the WC designs done in full colour! :)

Wow. Great orchestration! :) I'd love to hear him take a crack at Wing Commander 3! Just checked out more of his work on SoundCloud. He's an incredibly talented musician. :cool:

Ah. Thanks Wedge. I'm glad you picked up the heat distortion. I didn't want to overdo it but was wondering if it was too subtle. I'm hoping to do another scene or two with the Claw when I get some time but with a newborn baby arrived, it might be longer than than I'd like. :)

From the RSI site :) I do share your concern that going it alone reduces exposure. Hopefully this isn't an issue!

Hey guys. Nothing new to show but ever since the shadowing on the engines of the 'Claw was spotted by Compellor, it's bugged me and I finally found some time to fix it today. New images are below. Full sized images below - 1920x1080 2560x1440

BTW - anyone who watched DS9 would be familiar with Jim's work - he designed the Runabout and the USS Defiant. :cool:

Nicely picked up, AD. :) Another talented concept artist, which is great news. IMHO - poor ship design is one of the biggest faults of many of the "modern" space sims that have come and gone. These are already looking far more iconic and less generic than the typical ship, which is fantastic. :)

He's already said he wanted to do a reboot of Wing Commander. My guess is that, in wanting to create a rich, Freelancer-style world and incorporating the open world elements of games like that, he decided to add more races for greater variety and more dynamic and interesting political /...

Well, scratch my earlier comment on the name as Gametrailers have it as "Star Citizen" - unless that's the name of the actual trailer? It's not clear... We certainly have a lot of names floating about at the moment. :)

I was figuring that CI was simply a development code name a la Blue Harvest = Return of the Jedi. Could be completely wrong though. :)

Wow. Nice find! Totally missed that. A little strange that the designers of the ship felt it was important to label what it was inside the cockpit...Unless it was left there for the fans to find in this early version. It does look like that texture doesn't fit perfectly there... Also, the name...

lol! Wow. This really is looking like a Wing Commander reboot title! Also, the logo at the end of the video says "United Earth Empire - 2nd Fleet" or something along those lines. I'd say Gametrailers have jumped the gun and put this up a little early.

I'm not entirely sure I follow you're point, AD. I have no doubt that digital distribution would be far, far cheaper than a bricks and mortar approach with boxed copies etc. I think that's highly likely, given Chris is talking about adding to the game over time post release. I was merely saying...

I understand what you're saying, Chris. But I find it extremely hard to believe that EA would hand over distribution and marketing of one of their more profitable franchises to a 3rd party, even if it is the man who created it in the first place. I'm putting it out here and hoping to be proved...

Just read this in the Gamespot interview. Well I guess that settles that, then. :(
