Jesus christ, do you have to turn everything about Arena into an argument? I know Howie's project will take forever and may never get done. I've gone down that path before, with my own past fan project and on other fan projects. Howie's done that himself (remember the Matrix short film, Howie? I...

Honestly, I'm more looking forward to your game than Arena.

Yeah, it may be a bit negative, but I am pretty stoked about the game even though I won't be able to play it (no 360). I think the fact that there IS a new Wing Commander game is amazing news. I'm hoping it leads into some big games outside of XBLA.

I was speaking from my point of view as a professional designer. I deal with business decisions on a daily basis which affect the visual outcome of my work. I brought up EA's business approach because it is entirely germane to that discussion. My point was that the look was unexpected for some...

Zorch: I worked on Counter-Strike Beta 5 and Global Operations. I have dealt with EA on numerous occasions as an employee of one of their agencies (I created the C&C3 site and know the person who did the WC: Arena page which you've yet to see). I have about 10 friends in various positions in...

Wow, you guys like to have heated debates. Normally I lurk on this forum but I am going to have to put my 2c into the conversation to defend DaBrain. I am not a hardcore WC fan enough to nitpick the details, but devoted enough to have been playing since WC1 and following the series and...

Looks pretty accurate to me. But the Jalthi has the smallest cockpit of them all? Odd. For example the Dralthi looks like it would snugly fit a Kilrathi pilot, but the Jalthi might barely fit one. Perhaps the Jalthi is too small?

Also seeming out of place is the fact that both Confed and the Kilrathi have the exact same technology when it comes to propulsion. For an alien species, it's funny how similar their engines look to our 20th-century aircraft. :D Heh

Be sure to do a render of all the pirate paint schemes in one shot. :D

It needs some bling. :D

How about this, for a blood-thirsty pirate clan? ...it was uh, a little Reaver-inspired. :)

If I had some time I would do one with a shark's mouth wrapping around fuselage between the nose and guns. Throw in some splinter camo red paint and you got yourself a fearsome looking killer.

Ah :)

So uh, why are there huge fuel tanks on a station with only a habitat ring and no docks? :)

I realize you want to reuse elements to make it easier, however if you want another approach to the lower flight deck, you can look at the Candar space station for inspiration. It's flight deck was circular, at the bottom-most level of the station. I believe this is what you flew out of at the...

You could always turn the lower hangar 90 degrees away from refinery modules... but that would be imposing odd rules which shouldn't be necessary, on a system designed for randomness. I guess... But as always, looks great! Though in my personal opinion, the lower hangar feels very heavy, and...

I know what it's missing. :) Dirt, and tons of it! I suppose some sort of system must be in place to add variety. Will the game procedurally add weathering to the station textures the farther away from civilization they get? As they stand now, they look super-clean. One thing that would...

Looks great Howie. However, as has been mentioned earlier, the tubes could use some modifications. For me, tubes that lead to the edge of the hull have no apparent purpose. There should be at least a foot between the edge of the hull and where the tubes should end, turn away, or something. I...

If Pioneer is true to the spirit of Privateer, then it too, would have destructable weapons (and other components!). In Privateer, if you got heavily shot up, your equipment would be listed in the damage report and when you landed you would have to have them fixed.

:(
